Albeit is the vision of renowned up-and-coming designer, Jenny Lu; to push beyond contemporary concepts and styles of jewelry by redefining what classic is. The product is original and delicate with a sleek sophistication that not only enhances the wearer’s outfit, but also reflects a philosophy of life and style. It is elegant and understated, yet feminine, playful, and distinct.
You’ve encountered a serious problem. That measuring tape that you have doesn’t bend very well and if it bends too much it may snap and having metal snap at you is dangerous. That and tennis bracelets have so many diamonds in them that you have to size them between the diamonds.
This is for two reasons. The first is the diamonds are hard to saw in half if you want to size your tennis bracelet at the midpoint of one of the diamonds. It would require diamond cutting equipment and is probably unnecessary. The second reason is that cutting a diamond just because you want to size a bracelet is not financially a good idea. So the measuring tape won’t work, use a string.
Wrap the string around your wrist and then cut the string and measure that with the measuring tape. As convenience would have it, strings can also straighten, so this isn’t all that hard. Once you have your trusty string all measured, go to your jeweler and give him the string and tell him you want your tennis bracelets in that size.
He won’t be disappointed, because he’ll probably charge you $20 to do it, unless you want to get it lengthened, which is a much more expensive problem because it will require you to add diamonds. The moral of the story is, if you own a tennis bracelet, don’t let your wrist grow too much or you’ll run out of money.

What better compliment to the lavish pursuit of Haute Couture than lavishly oversized jewelry? Matching teardrop earrings in a diamond, latticed gold and mirror finish—so weighty a bar is required behind the ear for support—with a voluptuous amber central pendant surrounded by acres of beading, John Galliano for Christian Dior Couture has broached a deliciously unabashed decadence. {via trendhunter.com}

Choosing the right diamond can be a daunting process because there are so many factors to consider. Some may be skeptical about buying a diamond online as they are a very serious financial investment. But have no fear- buying a ring online can actually be more enjoyable and smarter than even walking into a store!
The most important aspect of shopping for a diamond ring online is the credibility of the website and the jeweler. Going on reputable sites such as James Allen reviews, or Blue Nile, or even Zoara- will all give you great deals for your diamonds because there is less of a “middle man” in the online stores.
Once you spend some time looking for the perfect diamond ring online, you will come to realize how important customer testimonials are for every website. Reading something such as a James Allen Review is a way to prove that the seller is legitimate and he has a strong customer following and satisfaction rate.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet? In Hebrew it would definitely be sweeter. Ancient Hebrew has many more phonemes than English does, though the same cannot be said for modern Hebrew. The Hebrew name for a Rose happens to be Shoshana, which rolls off the tongue much sweeter than Rose, don’t you think? Just as the name Rose is fairly popular in English, so too is the name Shoshana in Hebrew. In fact, many Jewish women are named Shoshana, and the name is even leaking into American culture as well.
The Hebrew pendant for the name is the perfect form of Jewish jewelry, especially if your name just so happens to be Shoshana or you know someone whose name is Shoshana.
The Hebrew letters of Jewish jewelry can be in the form of two basic scripts: either old Hebrew or Assyrian Hebrew. Old Hebrew is reserved for ancient style pendants and unless you are familiar with ancient scripts you’ll have a hard time reading it even if you know Hebrew. Assyrian Hebrew is the Hebrew that most of us are familiar with today, and any Jewish jewelry that you are interested in actually reading will be in the form of this script.

A woman’s wedding day is one of the most special, momentous occasions she can have. Not only is the wedding day a celebration of life and love- but it is an opportunity to enjoy the presence of loved ones and cherish the memories forever.
Every bride wants her wedding day to be flawless- and one of the best ways to ensure that is if the bride is confident and happy with the way she looks and feels. Of course, the wedding dress is of utmost importance in this regard- but a bride’s entire look from the jewelry to the hair to the shoes must come together to compliment her natural style. In many cases, the wedding jewelry a bride wears can transform her look from plain to stunning.
Wedding jewels runs the gamut from casual to extravagant. Depending on the style of dress and the bride’s personal style, there are so many options to choose from! It is important to really weigh your options in the wedding jewelry realm because the photos that capture the essence of your special day will be your physical reminder of the wedding forever. Adding a little sparkle to the bride’s ensemble will make her shine in her photos and add just a touch of specialness to the entire outfit.
One of the best ways to opt for bridal jewelry without going overboard is to wear a beautiful pair of earrings. Wedding accessories can be tricky because each bride has to find the perfect balance for herself and her dress- but any bride can wear a pair of lovely earrings regardless of the fanciness of her dress. Regardless of the style of dress- every bride will look stunning in a pair of diamond studs. These can be small and understated, or bold and beautiful. Any bride will benefit from a beautiful pair of diamond stud earrings.
A bride looking for more extravagant wedding jewelry may want to choose a pair of diamond drop earrings. Especially if her hair is swept up into a chignon, a bit of diamond dangle will be the perfect way to accentuate her facial features and add a special glow to her look. No matter what a bride decides- diamond wedding jewelry is the perfect way to add a special touch of sparkle and shine to the big day.

When you are on the hunt for a dazzling diamond ring- you should look no further than the comfort of your own home! Shopping for diamonds online will give you the greatest freedom to choose the best diamond for any occasion- and land the best deal!
The first step to investing in some serious bling is to know what you’re looking at. Do yourself a favor and look around at some Blue Nile reviews online in order to really refine your taste in diamond jewelry. This should include your taste in the shape and size of the diamond, the metal color and type, and a number of different details that your personal taste picks up on.
It is also a good idea to do some comparison shopping. You might want to look at a website that features a blue nile review as well as reviews of other online diamond stores in order to compare prices. Reviews are important in order to know what other people think of the service and the quality of the jewelry.
You’re spending a lot of money on your diamonds- it’s important that you are absolutely sure that the seller is reputable and the diamonds are truly forever!
