			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout our lives, there are days that we know will remain etched in our memories forever. There are milestone birthdays, bat mitzvahs, and graduations, along with our wedding day and the days our children are born. For occasions large and small, handcrafted silver jewelry can commemorate special days and help to create lasting memories.</p>
<p>Lockets</p>
<p>Our grandmothers may have worn lockets on silver chains around their necks, but these memory-keepers are enjoying a resurgence today. Lockets make perfect gifts for new mothers and new grandmothers. For someone close to us who is experiencing a recent loss, a locket expresses heartfelt condolences in a way that honors a loved one.</p>
<p>Silver Chains</p>
<p>Artisans who specialize in handmade jewelry have access to silver chains in dozens of different designs. Moreover, because they solder the end caps and the rings connecting to the clasp, their bracelets, necklaces, and anklets won&#8217;t fall off and get lost &#8211; an ever-present danger with commercial produced chains. Because the chains are usually sold by the inch, you can purchase one in any size. That makes them perfect gifts for a variety of recipients, from babies to men, from plus-size women to little girls&#8217; dolls.<br />
<img class="alignleft" title="handcrafted silver" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/np14wh.jpg" alt="handcrafted silver" width="291" height="293" /><br />
<span id="more-1062"></span><br />
Pendants and Earrings</p>
<p>Handmade pendants and earrings are made the old-fashioned way, with hand tools, one piece at a time. Set with gemstones, they make wonderful anniversary gifts, Mother&#8217;s Day gifts, and even bridesmaids&#8217; gifts. Thematic pendants &#8211; like dragons, pentagrams, or Celtic symbols &#8211; are memorable birthday gifts.</p>
<p>Rings</p>
<p>In our society, rings convey an incredible sense of meaning. Depending upon the occasion, they signify commitment, hope, love, or eternity. Handmade silver wedding rings, which are available in a bright polish finish, a satin or brushed finish, or a hammered finish, can make a memorable day even more special.</p>
<p>But rings can also reflect your gift recipient&#8217;s interests, hobbies, or passions. From traditional Celtic rings and classic pentagram rings to biker rings and puzzle rings, jewelry artisans offer a dazzling array of gift-giving options.</p>
<p>And Much More&#8230;.</p>
<p>Handcrafted silver jewelry can take many other forms, all of which can add meaning to special occasions. Barrettes are the perfect gift for a little girl on her first day of school, while charm bracelets and cufflinks make wonderful graduation gifts. Religious jewelry is appropriate for to commemorate milestones in virtually all faiths, while cuff bracelets are the perfect &#8220;just because&#8221; gift.</p>
<p>Finding Jewelry Online</p>
<p>While there are many online sources for jewelry, it&#8217;s important to select a company that has a long-standing tradition of creating handcrafted silver jewelry. The artisans can either guide you to pre-made pieces, or can work with you to create the perfect, customized gift that reflects your affection for the recipient.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s little argument that we live in a world designed for our thinner sisters. Those of us who are more bountiful can often feel as though we&#8217;re on the outside looking in &#8211; especially when it comes to fashion accessories. Sure, we can buy accessories like barrettes and earrings, but when it comes to pendants on chains, bracelets, and rings, we&#8217;re often out of luck. The chains simply aren&#8217;t long enough, the bracelets are too tight, and the rings simply aren&#8217;t big enough. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s a godsend to find handcrafted silver jewelry made by artisans who care enough to create lovely pieces that &#8220;fit&#8221; plus-size women.<br />
<img class="alignright" title="handcrafted silver" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/35mnnnn.jpg" alt="handcrafted silver" width="225" height="225" /><br />
Silver Chains</p>
<p>The challenges we face in the world of fashion accessories are often a matter of chain length. Whether for necklaces, bracelets, or anklets, the answer is to find chains that are custom-sized for any length. Thanks to the Internet, custom-length chains are only a few clicks away.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re shopping for silver chains, look for a source that offers dozens of different kinds of chain. You&#8217;ll then have the same kind of selection that average-sized women have. Perhaps you like box, rope, or bar and link chain; maybe you like the elegant sophistication of herringbone or the more substantial Byzantine or Madeira styles. The bottom line is that you should have access to a wide variety of choices that are .925 sterling silver and that are priced by the inch.</p>
<p>Clasps and Fasteners<br />
<span id="more-1060"></span></p>
<p>The telltale signs of quality bracelets and necklaces are the clasps and fasteners. When jewelry is assembled commercially, the fasteners are literally the weak links; all too often, they simply come apart and cause you to lose your chain. High quality handcrafted silver jewelry, on the other hand, has caps that are soldered on and jump rings that are soldered closed so that the ring connecting the clasp to the chain can&#8217;t open.</p>
<p>Rings to be Treasured</p>
<p>Gemstone rings are wonderful fashion accessories, but they also make great gifts. While there are traditional birthstones for every month (January &#8211; garnet; February &#8211; amethyst; March &#8211; bloodstone or aquamarine; April &#8211; diamond; May &#8211; emerald; June &#8211; pearl or moonstone; July &#8211; ruby; August &#8211; sardonyx or peridot; September &#8211; sapphire or lapis lazuli; October &#8211; opal or pink tourmaline; November &#8211; topaz or citrine; December &#8211; turquoise, zircon, or tanzanite), there are also astrological birthstones based on a Zodiac sign&#8217;s ruling planet.</p>
<p>You know that you&#8217;ve found a reputable establishment when it&#8217;s upfront about whether or not its gemstones have been enhanced. If a stone is not naturally mined, its description should indicate that it has, for example, been heated or irradiated (an accepted practice, since some stone colors &#8211; like ruby and sapphire &#8211; rarely occur in nature). Similarly, it should be noted if a stone is reconstituted from powder or stabilized using liquid acrylic. Again, the jewelry industry approves of these methods, but they should still be disclosed.</p>
<p>Final Tip: Bigger May be Better</p>
<p>As plus-size women, we have the luxury of being able to wear larger pieces of handcrafted silver jewelry. Don&#8217;t be afraid to opt for wider chains, larger earrings, or bigger gemstones. We can pull it off &#8211; beautifully!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/1zl3pyq.jpg" alt="gold body piercing" width="300" height="200" />Adorning the body with gold is a sensual experience. Gold jewelry for body piercing is extremely popular today, a revival from a long history from the earliest humans on earth. Whether your interest in body piercing stems from the desire to be fashionable, as a status symbol or to heighten your sexual enjoyment, popular demand has increased the number of piercing studios and choices in gold body jewelry.</p>
<p>Today’s body piercing evolved from different cultures across the globe. This ancient art could well be the most widely practiced form of body adornment.  It was also practiced by the Romans who saw nipple piercing as a sign of courage, in addition to using them to attach their cloaks. The Kama Sutra from classical India depicts scenes of genital piercing. We find evidence of ears, lips and hands being pierced in South America, Africa and Borneo.</p>
<p><span id="more-814"></span><br />
Today body piercing artists have taken this heritage and combined it with modern hygiene and piercing techniques, creating new types of piercings such as the &#8216;diath and rook&#8217; invented by Eric Dakota. The most notable change in the nature of body piercing came a few years ago when fashion world models strutted the catwalk with navel and eyebrow piercings, creating a new wave of general public interest. This opened up a new realm of possibilities for people and confirmed to those already in the know the wide extent of the practice.</p>
<p><strong>Practical Guide to Body Piercing</strong></p>
<p>When you decide to have any part of your body pierced, remember that this is more than fashion, it involves your health. It is wise to keep these points in mind:</p>
<ul>
<li>The piercing studio should be registered, check for the appropriate permits and certificates.</li>
<li>The person who performs your body piercing should wear gloves, protective clothing, hair covering and should wash their hands before they pierce you.</li>
<li>All instruments should be sterilized and all surfaces, including the floor are smooth and wipe able.</li>
<li>Only disposable needles should be used, with all dressings (gauze, cotton pads) and gold body jewelry sterile packed.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Piercing Guns</strong></p>
<p>The gold body jewelry used with ear piercing guns are not ideal for piercing for several reasons, first being that the guns cannot be sterilized because they are made of plastic and would melt in the sterilization unit. Second, they do not provide a clean, surgical cut, the jewelry is forced through the tissue, causing extensive trauma, because the ends are rounded, not sharp. Piercings done in this fashion are slow to heal and there is an increased risk of inflammation and/or infection.</p>
<p><strong>After Care</strong></p>
<p>Piercings done with the proper equipment usually take from six to eight weeks to heal at which time the jewelry can be changed without any problem. Quality aftercare of your piercing has a great impact on the amount of time your body needs. Healing is one thing, it takes much more time for the pierced skin to adjust and be accepted by your body. After the initial change, is it s a good idea for the jewelry to be left in the piercing at all times for at least the first six months but a longer period is better.</p>

That would be the day when eating edible oysters would bring in not only food for the table but also pearl for jewelry. However, such thing is next to impossible considering that pearls do not grow in edible oysters.<br />
<br />
<span id="more-410"></span><br />
Pearls are produced by mollusks including oysters, mussels and clams. However, mussels and clams rarely produce pearls while oysters commonly produce pearls no matter if they are in freshwater or in saltwater.<br />
<br />
The idea that pearls are produced from sand intruding into the shell of an oyster is false. Sand is an inorganic material while pearls are formed by organic materials that are caught inside the oyster. As a defense mechanism, the oyster wraps the organic material with a substance called nacre, resulting to what is known as mother of pearl.<br />
<br />
Most people believe that pearls should have an imperfect form since they are products of nature. However, there are those that are formed perfectly and these are considered very valuable pearls. Unlike the common belief that pearls are usually white, pearls come in various colors like black, green, red and even blue. Different-colored pearls can be found all over the world but only the South Pacific has produced black pearls.<br />
<br />
Instead of waiting for the natural occurrence of pearls, there are people who culture pearls in the same manner that they are naturally formed. However, the organic irritants are intentionally inserted through a crack in the oyster’s shell.  Natural pearls are however more expensive than cultured pearls because of their rarity.<br />
<br />
Among the kinds of pearls are cultured pearls either in saltwater or freshwater; South Sea pearls that are produced by the silver lipped oysters are rare pearls that are cultured in Australia and are usually very large; South Sea pearls produced by golden lipped oysters and are cultured in Indonesia and Tahitian pearls or black pearls that are produced by black lipped oysters and are cultured in Cook Islands or in the French Polynesia.<br />
<br />
So how can one determine if a pearl is real or an imitation? Real pearls tend to feel sandy when rubbed along the edge of the front teeth while imitation pearls fell smooth.<br />
<br />
Aside from the kinds of oyster from which pearls are produced, the quality of pearls is determined according to their luster or shine. Thick nacres that have been left in the water longer are generally shinier.  The shape of a pearl is also important and the rounder the pearl, the better. The larger the pearl, the rarer they are and the more expensive.<br />
<br />
Pearls are generally used as pieces of jewelry but they are also used in making cosmetics. Powdered pearl that is made from shells and pearls of not so good quality is said to produce paler skin with a natural glow. Pearl cosmetics are actually being exported by many countries including China to the Unites States.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing you can say about gold earrings is that they are timeless pieces that are always in style. They are not only beautiful, but also wear-friendly since, unlike sterling silver, they don’t tarnish. Another great attribute is that people with allergies to certain metals, or find they have a problem with staining from metals that have been combined with gold, don’t have a problem with gold itself.<br />
<br />
<span id="more-385"></span><br />
Gold is a versatile metal, able to be worked in virtually any shape, whether it be small, but sturdy, strands to thin sheets. In fact, just one ounce has the ability to be hammered into an extremely thin sheet measuring at ten feet square. Artisans, especially makers of gold earrings, can manipulate gold into any desired shape.<br />
<br />
When choosing gold earrings you need to look at the gold’s karat factor. Different karat numbers are what describe just how much pure gold is in the earrings. The percentage of gold in the earrings is higher when the karat number is higher.<br />
<br />
For example, 24K earrings are pure gold, 18K is 75% gold with 18 parts of gold and 6 parts of another metal, 14K, the most common, is 58.3% gold with 14 parts of gold and 10 parts of another metal, 12K is 50% gold with 12 parts of gold and 12 parts of another metal, and, lastly, 10K, the minimum karat that can be described as gold, is a mere 41.7% gold with 10 parts gold and 14 parts of another metal.<br />
<br />
Gold earrings made in Europe will have different markings. For example, 18K will be marked as 750, 14K will be marked as 585, and 12 K will be marked as 417. These marking stand for the percentage of gold the earrings contain.<br />
<br />
Most gold earrings aren’t made of pure gold since it can be quite soft and not very practical for daily wear. In mot cases, other metals will have been mixed with the gold in order to heighten the durability, as well as lower the price.<br />
<br />
When metallurgists add other metals to gold it allows them to change the gold’s color. To create white gold Palladium, also known as nickel, is added. The addition of copper products creates a rose/pink color, while adding silver can give gold a greenish tint.<br />
<br />
When choosing the type of gold earrings that is right for you, you must decide how often you will wear them and what type of karat number will fit this need. If you are allergic to such metals as nickel, you should choose gold earrings that have a higher gold content. This means that gold earrings marked with 18K or 22K are best for you.<br />
<br />
If you plan to wear your earrings only on occasion, and don’t necessarily have to have the best gold there is, then you have the option of choosing gold earrings that are gold filled or even gold plated. This would not be a good choice if you do plan to wear the gold earrings on a daily basis since a lot of use will reduce the gold layer, therefore exposing the metal that is underneath and possibly causing staining or even an allergic reaction.<br />
<br />
If you plan to purchase gold earrings that you want to last a very long time, then make sure you buy a high quality item.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Handcrafted silver jewelry is beautiful and unique. Whether you&#8217;re looking for pieces to add to your collection or are shopping for gifts, there are excellent online sources for handmade earrings, pendants, rings, barrettes, and necklaces. For a wonderful buying experience, follow these five tips.<br />
<br />
1. Find a reputable source. This may go without saying, but don&#8217;t confuse commercially manufactured jewelry with handcrafted silver jewelry. The latter is made by artisans that take great pride in their work. It&#8217;s helpful to look for a company that has been in business for decades, and that has been selling online for at least five years.<br />
<br />
2. Take advantage of customization. When jewelry is handmade, it can be customized in any number of ways, from the lengths of chains to the types of gemstones used in pendants and rings. You don&#8217;t need to settle for &#8220;almost good enough.&#8221; Instead, you can get the piece you&#8217;ve always dreamed of, in exactly the right size.<br />
<br />
<span id="more-268"></span><br />
3. Measure carefully. Because customized pieces generally aren&#8217;t returnable, it&#8217;s important to make sure that the handcrafted silver jewelry you order will fit. It only takes a few minutes to get a good measurement, and doing so will ensure that the necklace or ring you order will be exactly what you want. For rings, ask a friend to take a piece of string, put it around the knuckle or largest part of your finger, and mark the string. To determine the size, hold the string against a tape measure and compare your measurement to the website&#8217;s sizing chart. If you&#8217;re in between sizes, it&#8217;s best to go with the larger size. You can also use string to measure for bracelet, necklace, or anklet lengths.<br />
<br />
4. Do your gemstone research. The best online jewelry sites have a wealth of information on gemstones. Before you order, read up on the gemstones you are considering. It&#8217;s important to know, for example, that aquamarine can be cleaned with dishwashing detergent, but that ultrasonic and steam cleaning may damage the stone. Similarly, you may know that pearls are delicate and can easily absorb liquids, but you might not know that turquoise is also porous and can easily become stained.<br />
<br />
If you&#8217;re going to order jewelry with gemstones, it&#8217;s also crucial to know whether the stones are natural or if their colors have been enhanced. Reputable artisans will freely share this information. Don&#8217;t be alarmed, however, if the stones have been heated or irradiated to intensify or change their colors. Naturally colored rubies, sapphires, and topaz, for example, are extraordinarily rare; it is an accepted practice within the jewelry industry to enhance gemstone colors.<br />
<br />
5. Invest in the real thing. Silver jewelry is gorgeous, but only if it&#8217;s real silver. Make sure that the online source you select uses either sterling silver (.925 or 92.5 percent silver) or fine silver (99.9 percent pure silver). When you invest in handcrafted silver jewelry, you&#8217;re not only buying a piece you will treasure, but one that is likely to become an heirloom for future generations.</p>
