Clip on earrings

If you are invited to a ball and you have to dress up, thing that you maybe don't feel comfortable doing or if you simply don't fancy having your ears pierced, there is only one solution, wear clip on earrings. They are very practical and affordable. Clip earrings are for people with non-pierced ears.

They are made of a back that comes in different types of metal and several sizes and are decorated with gems, diamond or beads. The size of the back will depend on the design you choose to wear. Many designs are available. Before you purchase the earrings, you will have to decide if you prefer buying a costume piece of jewellery or a designer one.
 
Costume jewellery is much cheaper so you should choose this option if you are going to wear this pair of clip earrings for the season or only for an occasion. Fashion changes quite rapidly season after season so if you want to look modern you will have to follow this evolution.
 
In the other hand, designer jewellery is more expensive but you will pay for the quality of the jewellery piece and the durability. Although designers tempt to follow fashion trends too, most of their pieces of jewellery are more classical and you will be able to wear them year after year as they do not date at all. So if you decide to go for designer jewellery you can justify the price you paid for your earrings by wearing them again and again.

Types of Earrings

Earrings are attached to the ears by two means, the use of posts and the use of wires. From there, a variety of earrings was created to suit each individual.

The most common type of earrings is the stud earring. It is attached to the ear through the post, which makes it seem to float on the earlobe. Stud earrings are held in place by the friction back to keep it in place without fear of it falling off.

Hoop earrings are those circular earrings that are attached to the ear by wires to make a complete ring. Posts can also be used to secure it to the ear, but it is not a complete circle.

Dangle earrings, so far, is the favorite among women as it is commonly seen anywhere. They measure from a centimeter to even just barely touching the shoulders. Wires and posts are also used for ear attachments, but most frequently, wires are used shaped into a small hook.

Huggy earrings are so called because they seem to hug the earlobe. Many earring crafters take advantage of huggy earrings to show off their expertise in this field and tend to make elaborate and varied designs.

Bracelets' History

Charm bracelets are jewelry worn around the wrist and hold charms that represent important events in ones life. You choose bracelets from CZ jewelry,because CZ jewelry contains CZ rings,bracelets,earrings and so on.

Since prehistoric times man has made charm bracelets, or often called amulets or talisman. Rocks, clay, bones, wood and shells were often used when creating a bracelet. Wearing a charm bracelet was often associated with spirituality, love, magic and protection. Early charms were made from

lapis lazuli, rock crystal and other stones

More elaborate bracelets with precious stones and metals emerged during the Egyptian Pharaoh age. As early as 3000 BC Egyptians were using charms to ward off evil spirits, increase fertility rates, protect their loved ones in the after life and guarantee wealth. They were also a way for the Gods to be able to identify the wearer of the charm bracelet, so they were placed in the correct social level.

The Assyrians, Persians and Babylonians also created and wore charm bracelets.

During the Roman Empire era, Christians woulds identify themselves, to gain access into secret worship activities, by revealing the fish charm hidden under their clothing.

Charm bracelets gained popularity in the mid 1800s when Queen Victoria wore small lockets holding family portraits and a lock of hair from Prince Albert, her husband.

After World War II, American soldiers came home with charms as gifts, that were handmade by the locals were the soldiers were stationed. Charm bracelet popularity was reaching new heights by this time.

During the 1950s a must have accessory for girls and women, was a charm bracelet. Traditionally a woman received a charm bracelet twice, as a young girl and at her marriage. These bracelets would have charms that show her hobbies, religion and interests as a girl and wedding bells
 for marriage, latter charms for births and anniversaries would be added.

In the 1970s charms made of celluloid were prizes in gum-ball machines. Kids collected these charms for their charm bracelets. Charms ranged from army men themes, sports and animals to Betty Boop, Orphan Annie and Mickey Mouse. They faded out in the early 1970s but came back again the the mid 1980s.

Jelly Bracelets Meanings

Jelly Bracelets with different color meanings have been used in many health and fitness campaigns to fight cancer and other diseases. However today's youth have devised a new sexual meaning for the wearing of the bracelets and they are a trend in some schools.

 

Jelly bracelets are thin rubbery bands which can be worn one at a time or interconnected together on the wrists, ankles, or around the neck. They are available in an array of colors.

 

Jelly Bracelets with different color meanings have been used in many health and fitness campaigns to fight cancer and other diseases. However today's youth have devised a new sexual meaning for the wearing of the bracelets and they are a trend in some schools.

The wearing of jelly bracelets started when Lance Armstrong, an athlete overcame cancer and defied the odds. As a way of helping to fund cancer research he helped to design and sell a simple bracelet that was yellow.The colored bracelets caught on and Lance raised millions of dollars in cancer research money. Other health foundations around the world have set up similar funds as well.

Today jelly bracelets, or sex bracelets, are currently popular among high school students. It is said the bracelets are color-coded according to the wearer's willingness to perform certain sexual acts. Kids in many high schools refer to them as "sex bracelets" and the different colors can denote the wearers sexual preference(s), or be used in games.
 

In a sexual game called snap, a boy or girl snaps or breaks a bracelet off the wearers wrist. The rules of snap can require players to do all manner of things from kissing to actual intercourse, depending upon the color of the bracelet.

 

Colored Jelly Bracelets Meanings

Black - the wearer will have regular "missionary" sex
Blue - indicates oral sex performed on a guy
Clear - indicates a willingness to do anything the snapper wants
Green - indicates that oral sex can be performed on a girl
Glittery Blue - is willing to perform anal sex
Glittery Clear - wearer will let the snappee "feel up" or touch any body part
Glittery Green - the wearer is willing to "69"
Glittery Pink - willing to "flash" a body part
Glittery Purple - willing to French kiss
Glittery Yellow - indicates kissing and hugging is acceptable
Yellow - wearer is willing to hug
Pink - wearer is willing to give a hickey
Orange - wearer is willing to kiss
Purple - wearer is willing to kiss a partner of either sex 
Red - wearer is willing to perform a lap dance 
White - wearer will flash what they have

 

Sex bracelets are a silly teen fad with a dangerous sexual twist. The bright colored bracelets are popular with teens, but they're creating controversy and many children, and even adults, wear these decorative bracelets without any sexual connotation or meaning whatsoever.
 
Do not let students who have made up sexual meanings deter you from buying a jelly bracelet if you know the money is going to medical research or a good cause.
 
Of course,you can select ohter CZ jewelry from shop online.

A Symbol of Promise

What's all this fuss about promise rings? Are they something new or have they been around for a while? What do they mean and why is my teenager wearing one? If you've ever wondered what the rage is all about, then you've come to the right place!

What exactly is a promise ring?

When an agreement or oath has been made between two people, a promise ring is a piece of jewelry given as a token of the commitment that was made.

Sounds simple enough doesn't it? Well, be careful because the promise made between two people can be practically anything. It's imperative that both parties are clear on the meaning of the pact or pledge. For example:

Monogamy: A promise to stay faithful to one another.

Chastity or Purity: A promise to keep ones virginity until marriage.

Friendship: A promise to seal a pledge of eternal friendship.

Substance or Sobriety: A promise to remain free from addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, etc.).

Religious or Christian: A promise to remain committed to one's faith or belief in the God of their understanding.

These are just a few of the more popular reasons to give or wear a promise ring.

 

 

 

Pre-Engagement

That being said, the most popular reason to give a promise ring is for pre-engagement.

Are you confused yet? Pre-engagement is actually not as bad as it sounds. It has always been popular to exchange promise rings, so a couple can showcase their commitment to one another prior to getting engaged. In other words, this ring is symbolic of a promise there will be an engagement ring forthcoming.

If you are old enough to remember "going steady" with someone then giving this type of promise ring is kind of the updated version of going steady. The symbolism of the promise ring is really no different than a girl of years ago wearing her boyfriend's high school ring on a chain around her neck or wearing her steady boyfriend's letterman jacket. If you are too young to understand this analogy, talk to your parents or grandparents and they can enlighten you.

This trial period before the engagement is a good way for a couple to test the waters before they make an actual commitment to marriage. Some may scoff at this gesture of pre-engagement. However, with the rise in divorce rates in this country it may be wise to start off slowly in the relationship instead of rushing ahead into something you are not ready for.

The other good news here is that a promise ring costs significantly less than an engagement ring. It makes a wonderful alternative for the couple who chooses not to spend a fortune on a ring at this time but still wants to make a statement about their commitment to one another.

Can Men Wear Promise Rings?

A promise ring is not an unknown jewel these days and yet not many people really know the meaning of a promise ring.  

 

Can Men Wear Promise Rings?
This is a question that is asked very often and the answer is quite simple. Men usually wear CZ rings,rather than diamond ring compared with women.Cubic Zirconia rings can show the deginty and mature quality of men.Given the true meaning of a promise ring and the significance of the occassion or commitment for which they are worn, there is no reason why men should not wear a promise ring. Depending on the reason for the wearing of promise rings, men's promise rings could be worn as pre-engagement rings or as purity promise ring, as friendship promise rings and also as religious promise rings. While the meaning of promise rings worn by men would be the same as for those worn by ladies, the difference would be mainly in the size and weight of men's promise rings. Men take far less care of their jewelry as compared to the ladies and this would mean that promise rings worn by men would need to be more sturdy and durable. In cases where promise rings mean a pre-engagement relationship, it is common for the lady and man to wear promise rings with similar designs, such rings are commonly referred to as promise ring pairs.

Men's Rromise Rings

Promise rings are not only for women,but also for men.
Generally speaking, men are not given promise rings -- just as they are not given engagement rings.

Leonid Meteor Showers from November 13-20, 2009

The 2009 Leonid meteor shower can be seen from November 13-20, and for United States watchers the most Leonid meteor shower activity will occur during the early morning hours of November 17.

NASA has predicted that the best time to view the Leonid meteor shower will be after 1:30 a.m. EST and before sunrise on November 17, 2009. Because the moon will not be visible from Earth (it will be darker) and will be in a new moon phase during the Leonid meteor showers peak, the meteors should be easier to see than ever before.

NASA states between 20-30 meteors per hour will be visible in the US. People in Asia should be able to see the most activity at 200-300 meteors per hour NASA has stated, but other astronomers are predicting that it could be as high as 500 an hour during the peak.

NASA has a great website to help you predict the best time will be for viewing the Leonid meteor shower in your area, and it is called Fluxtimator, just click on the link and enter your city which shower you want to watch.

Promise Rings----Which finger

Promise rings can be worn on any finger, but those symbolizing pre-engagement or chastity are generally worn on the left ring finger.

There are two schools of thought regarding the origin of the 3rd finger being designated the "ring finger."For those logical souls, this finger is the most practical one for wearing a ring.?Protected by fingers on either side, and not as active as the first two fingers and thumb, it is a safe haven for jewelry. A more romantic notion is the ancient belief in a "vena amori," or vein of love, running from the 3rd left finger to the heart.

Promise Ring Wearing Recommendations

Pre-engagement Promise Rings : left or right ring finger. Traditionally, such a ring would be worn on the left hand. However, some wearers feel that there is less likelihood of confusing the ring with an engagement ring if it is worn on the right hand and therefore, left-hand wearing is gaining acceptance.

Promise of Monogamy : left or right ring finger. Also traditionally worn on the left hand, but concerns over confusion with an engagement ring have made it acceptable to wear on the right hand. The left hand is still preferred, however.

Promise of Sexual Abstinence : left ring finger. The intent is to someday replace this promise ring with a wedding ring and the ring should be worn on the same finger as would the wedding band.

Promise of Substance Abstinence : any finger, though left ring finger is preferred.

Promise Between Friends (non-romantic): any finger (including thumbs). In the case of rings exchanged between platonic friends, it is generally best to avoid the left ring finger so that there is no confusion of romantic intentions.
 
I prefer to choose CZ rings as promise rings,rather than other CZ jewelry.

History of Promise Rings

Do you know which jewelry is best seller in CZ Jewelry?The answer is CZ rings,which are usualy bought as promise rings.Here let me introduce the history of  it to you.
 
While the concept of promise rings may seem like something new and original, mythology and sacred writings tell us otherwise.In fact, rings have been used to seal promises since the beginning of time.In ancient days, Bishops wore rings as a pledge of their spiritual union with the church.And dignitaries in Venice, Italy, once the maritime power of the world, renewed this city's "marriage promise" with the Adriatic Sea by tossing a ring into the turquoise waters on Ascension morning each year.

Although they may not have been called promise rings, it became popular during the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe to exchange rings as a token of ove or friendship.One such ring was the "scribbling ring," which was set with uncut diamond crystals.Lovers used the exposed points of the diamond to etch romantic vows into windowpanes.

Another common type of ring was called a "poesy ring." These rings were engraved bands with various promises or sentiments and given to a lover or dear friend. A typical pledge of love and fidelity might read, "Vous et nul autre" -- old French which translates to "You and no other."

 

 

 

Promise Ring Etiquette
The most important rule in giving a promise ring is to be up-front about the terms of the promise, especially if the ring contains a diamond.There is nothing more heartbreaking than a person reading something into a gift of a ring that is more than intended!A simple note accompanying the ring, to be read prior to opening the gift, can clarify your sentiments.

Promise Rings Meaning

What is a promise ring?

A promise ring is a ring given as an outward and physical expression, or symbol, of a promise made between two people. It can be CZ rings,which are short for Cubic Zirconia Rings.

Traditionally, the promise ring is given for virtually any type of promise made between two people - either romantic or platonic.Popular reasons to give promise rings include:
 

Pre-engagement: If you're sure she's the right one for you, but not quite ready for engagement, the pre-engagement ring expresses commitment to the relationship and a promise for the future together.

Chastity or abstinence: Often called Purity Rings, these rings are generally given by a parent to a child and symbolize a promise by the child to remain sexually pure until marriage.It is a constant reminder that true love can wait for a sexual relationship.Purity rings can also be given to symbolize a child's pledge to remain substance free.

Monogamy: In the absence of marriage or pre-engagement, promise rings can be exchanged as a mutual commitment of unity and monogamy.

Friendship: Good friends have always made pacts, sealing them with the exchange of friendship rings and other small tokens.Whether your friend is moving halfway across the country or lives right next door, you both know you will always be there for each other.

Jewelry Storage Tips


Do you have trouble trying to store  Cubic Zirconia Jewelry without it getting all tangled, clip earrings separated from each other, tipping out your whole jewelry box just to find one particular piece? Well, here are some jewelry storage tips that will keep your pieces safe, in a neat and decorative fashion.

 


Designing and selling jewelry both on a website and from home I need to be able to display my earrings in an organized and professional manner. I hope you can find some inspiration from the jewelry storage ideas below.

 

Store earrings with fish-hook earwires by hanging them around the rim of a wine glass for an instant neat and decorative look.


Drape a long string of pearls across the top of your mirror and hang your earrings in the gaps.


Buy a small storage box from the hardware shop, such as the ones that have little compartments for nails, etc. They have 16 drawers, so you know exactly where everything is.


Store earrings on a long piece of ribbon and tack the ends onto the back of a dresser/wardrobe.


Use a corkboard with pins on it, and hang the earrings and necklaces off the pins. Or if you are feeling crafty, you can decorate the frame of your corkboard - remove the actual cork inside the frame, then paint the frame and add some little decorations like sequins, beads, lace, ribbon, etc. Staple a piece of mesh (tulle fabric or mesh from your hardware store) to the frame to hold lots of earrings.

This idea also works with old picture frames as well. To hold necklaces and bracelets, simply screw in some little hooks (you can get these from hardware shops) around the frame.

How to Clean Costume Jewelry

Costume jewelry, including clip on earrings and CZ rings, is typically valuable, purchasing such jewelry costs a bit of money. But then again, it is possible to buy costume jewelry wholesale as well – if you know where to look.

Most people think that online auctions, such as eBay is the way to go. While this is true occasionally, you will usually find that the seller knows the value of what they are selling, and the price is high. there's other ways to find costume jewelry wholesale at cheap prices – or below.

Keep an eye on your newspaper for advertised estate sales andgarage sales. Typically, at these sales, the people holding the sale don't know the value of what they have. You can literally purchase hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of costume jewelry for a few dollars on a typical Saturday morning.


it is possible that the piece isn't worth anything – but occasionally, you will stumble across some real finds! Even if the piece isn't worth anything, if you make jewelry, you may be able to disassemble it for the parts.

it is important that you not look closely at the jewelry when you are buying it. If the piece is valuable, you don't need the seller to know how valuable it is! It isn't your fault that they didn't get it appraised – as you will as soon as you leave! Keep a straight face, keep your happiness and joy to yourself, and pay the fifty cents or two bucks that they need for the piece, get in your automobile ,head to a trusted jeweler for an appraisal!

Finding costume jewelry wholesale is exciting. In fact, spending those Saturday mornings at the yard sales and estate sales may even become addicting! Yard sales and estate sales – estate sales where grandchildren are not interested in their grandma's elderly ugly jewelry are the best sources for costume jewelry at wholesale prices – or below wholesale prices.

This doesn't mean that there aren't some real find on eBay as well, so don't discount it. Keep an eye on the jewelry categories, as well as the costume or vintage categories. When you do find something you need to bid on, make sure that the seller has a nice reputation. If the piece is expensive, use the escrow service that is recommended by eBay. Also talk to the seller a bit to be sure that you understand exactly what is being advertised!

 

 

 

How to tidy Jewelry

Jewelry Cleaner

Jewelry ,such as bracelets,clip earrings,shines if it is properly cleaned and polished. People have treasures at home in the form of diamonds, emeralds and sapphires. These are often set in gold, silver or platinum. Some of the jewels are antiques that have been handed down from ancestors from one generation to the next.

Jewelry can lose its shine if it is not properly cared for with a good jewelry cleaner. Everyone with some jewelry to protect should find out about the jewelry cleaners that are available so they do not cause damage to valuable pieces.

Different types of jewelry require different types of care so jewelry owners should investigate the jewelry cleaners to make sure that they buy the best one for their jewelry. There are jewelry cleaners that simply remove the tarnish from metals such as silver that have a tendency to tarnish with time. There are strips that can be stored with some jewelry to keep the tarnish away rather than polishing these pieces regularly.

Jewel bags can eliminate some of the cleaning if these are used properly to store the precious jewels. The cost of the jewelry cleaner should be worth keeping these treasures bright and shiny.

Several Jewelry Cleaners Are Available on the Market

Jewelry cleaners will bring back the shine that was present when the pieces were first purchased, but all the cleaners should be examined carefully because some substances could damage the jewelry. Some effective jewelry cleaners are bubbling tablets that are safe for some types of jewelry. These tablets often come with a special container for just the right amount of cleanser. These are easy to take along on trips so the jewelry cleaner is available at all times.

Some of the latest technology is used to make jewelry cleaners that are sonic type boxes for cleaning jewelry. These sonic cleaners create bubbles which clean the jewelry in all the small spaces that cannot be reached easily. These get rid of grease and dirt so the jewelry sparkles once again. Some of these will clean watch bands and keys with the same machine.

Some of these machines come with timers so the jewelry is kept in the cleaner for just the right amount of time. These also come with temperature controls so the jewelry will not be harmed in the cleaning process. Some of these machines can clean with just water so there are no harmful substances such as ammonia that could damage fine jewelry.

Homemade jewelry cleaners are not only cheaper, but also more effective than the commercial ones you get in the market.

Best Jewelry Cleaner

The best jewelry cleaner depends on the type of jewelry you have and the materials that make up your favorite pieces. Finding the best jewelry cleaner can be a difficult task, and a few different factors need to be kept in mind when choosing a cleaner. It seems as if every type of jewelry needs a different type of cleaner, and some cleaning solutions that work well on one type of material will tarnish or completely destroy another piece of jewelry. If you have a jewelry box that is filled with a variety of precious metals and gemstones it may be necessary for you to have several different types of jewelry cleaning agents on hand.
 

When choosing the best jewelry cleaner for your bracelets, rings and necklaces, it is important to take into consideration the type of metal, stone and jewelry. Diamonds and gold can be effectively cleaned with a commercial jewelry cleaner. On the other hand, sterling silver and pearl pieces will need specialized cleaners in order to not damage your favorite rings, chains, bracelets and pedants.
 

Another thing to keep in mind when choosing jewelry cleaner is chemicals. Think about if you want chemicals around your house, and in your bathroom. Or maybe you do not want any chemicals at all. Most, if not all, types of jewelry can be cleaned properly without the use of harsh chemicals or abrasives.
 

It is a good rule that chlorine and other chemicals can damage most types of jewelry materials. That is why many people choose to use a mild detergent or soap as jewelry cleaner. You will be able to effectively clean most types of jewelry this way. There are also special cloths that are available for pickier pieces of bling.
 

A mixture of ammonia and water can also be a great jewelry cleaner. It works best for diamonds, and some metals. If you are unsure what type of cleaner to use for a particular piece of jewelry, contact your jeweler. The retailer where you purchased the piece of jewelry can also suggest proper cleaning products and methods.

Cocktail Trend

Summer Trend:

Cocktail rings recently are more popular all over the world,which have long history.This summer,the trend of cocktail ring is going on.Generally,cocktail rings are used in party or in evening meeting.It refers to the big diamond ring.The main stone is a diamond which at least is 3 carat and is decorated with small stones.

 

Duke Plaget is the top designer,who is famous for the series of Plaget Limelight Paradise made by precious stones this summer.And new series inculdes colorful fruits shape of clip earrings and cocktail rings.Each ring has its own main stone.One is made of green tourmaline,other is made of pink tourmaline.

 

History:

The cocktail ring is meant to be a dramatic large ring, worn at cocktail parties. The cocktail ring was especially popular to wear during US prohibition at illegal cocktail parties. Such a ring flaunted not only the fact that one was drinking illegally, but also that one was doing it with style.

 

Popularity of the cocktail ring gained in the 1940s and 1950s, as cocktail parties continued to be popular events. Although cocktail parties are less common now, wearing a cocktail ring with huge diamonds or other large precious or semi-precious gems is still popular for formal dressy occasions, and especially for events like premieres of films, Broadway theater productions, or award shows like the Oscars or Emmys.

 

While the trend in earlier rings was to use precious stones, particularly diamonds, the cocktail ring today may be made with faux stones. The difficulty and expense of obtaining large precious stones often makes the cocktail ring with real stones prohibitively expensive. Costume jewelry stores stock reproductions of rings worn by the glitterati, and a good costume cocktail ring is perfectly acceptable for anything but the fanciest events.
