			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Charm bracelets are placed around the wrist with numerous decorative trinkets dangling about. These small pendants are meant to symbolize the things most important to whoever wears them. Often, charm bracelets are started at a memorable point in a person’s life, usually given to them as a gift. This is referred to as a starter bracelet and every once in a while, as new events and memories arise, the wearer will add to their bracelet. A perfect example of this is when an expectant first-time mother receives a charm bracelet. She may add to the bracelet after her child is born during various milestones. Relevant charms include baby booties, pacifier, a tooth, teddy bear and their initials.</p>
<p>Charm bracelets have a history dating back to the Neolithic era and were used as a way to ward off evil. The jewelry form of these amulets weren’t fully realized until Egyptian Pharaohs began creating charm bracelets from pieces of metal and precious stones. During the early 20th century, charm bracelets became a feverish fad as Queen Victoria began wearing them. This time, additional items were placed on the bracelets, such as glass beads, family crests and small lockets containing images of loved ones.</p>
<p>Today, anyone can have an interest in charm bracelets, whether it is for the art of collecting or to display their warm memories. They are given to love ones on the day of their graduation, wedding or sweet sixteen-birthday party. Best friends, mothers and bridesmaids are also common wearers of charm bracelets. A mother may have a charm to represent each one of her children. Charm bracelets can be obtained from catalogs, department stores, antique jewelers, as well as fashion boutiques. You never know when one will present itself. Charm bracelets and their accessories are often tucked away in hotel gift shops and art shows, as well as flea markets.</p>
<p>There are three main sizes to choose from when picking out a charm bracelet: small, medium and large. This may also determine the amount of links available for a charm. For instance, a medium bracelet provides room for 18 charms. The number of links can always be subtracted or added at any time. Once you have the bracelet, the next important thing is to collect the charms. When choosing charms, you should familiarize yourself with their meanings. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though gold necklaces are really head-turning it would be much more satisfying to see that what you acquired was worth all the costs you incurred. Perhaps the 18-carat gold is the most renowned type because of its durable character and its elegant beauty. But they can be made from the flimsiest 18-carat gold. If you settle to purchase a 24-carat necklace chances are you would have a problem because it is naturally soft and effortlessly bends. It needs treating with care and respect. However, gold such as 14-carat gold often has the problem that its composition is a mixture with additional metals which in effect fades its color slightly.</p>
<p>It is only natural that as a consumer we tend to be extremely discerning and fastidious when it come to purchasing our personal belongings, and of course it quite acceptable in respect of gold products including a gold necklace. You would want to follow some guidelines for you not to be deceived by jewelers. Know which company is trustworthy in terms of their gold products. Make sure that what they are offering suits your needs. It’s much like buying bread in a bakery rather than in a garage. Being critical doesn’t always bear a negative connotation, because in the end your inquisitiveness will prove to have worked to your advantage.</p>
<p>Ask for warranties and guarantees. You are not buying a shirt that would cost you just a dollar. You are buying a gold necklace, it would more or less cost you a thousand dollars depending on the style and type of necklace you would intend to have. It is an investment so in the event that you come across a visible defect be more than certain enough to ask for their policies and procedures. For example, as money-back-guarantee.</p>
<p>Gold necklaces, as previously mentioned, take into account design, but since the market is now offering a wide array of choices it lessens the problem of buyers especially those new to necklace purchasing. There are snake chain gold necklaces, Italian cable chains, Byzantine necklace and the special panther linked necklace. These are only few samples of the types of gold necklaces, yet at the end of the day it’s your choice that matters, and whether one is suitable for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Citizen Watch Company is a watch brand that was established in 1924. The men who established the company chose Citizen as the name so that it would be easily recognizable to people everywhere. Up to then watches tended to be heavy objects that were fashionable ornaments as much as they were practical items used to tell the time. Citizen watches changed all that by creating a new brand that was thin and light on the wrist as well as having the added benefit of looking good. And what a success they were.</p>
<p>In a few years they became one of the biggest selling watches in history and continue to sell well today.The reason they have achieved such a niche in the market is due to their quality. A quality that has never diminished, despite the ever growing competition and the temptation to appeal to a broader market.Secondly they are one of those rare companies that are not afraid to take risks. In a world where major co-operations continue to regurgitate the same old thing, Citizen is intent on reinventing the market. They just won&#8217;t sit on their laurels, taking the meaning of the word citizen to the extreme.</p>
<p>When Citizen first got going in 1930 there aim seemed to be the first watch company to do everything. They wanted to wipe out the competitive by being inventive. It was the Citizen that first introduced shock resistance to their watches. Up to then watches were easily broken and as a result few people paid out their hard earned cash unless they could afford to replace or fix them. An image of people in expensive suits pulling a pocket watch out of their breast pocket is what springs to mind. Citizen managed to bring watches to the poorer classes by making them more durable.</p>
<p>There latest innovation is perhaps the most impressive. It is called the Eco Drive System and as the name suggest it an environmentally friendly watch, using an inbuilt solar panel instead of batteries. Again this is now used by many watch companies, none of them with the originality of citizen. No doubt they will continue with this line while citizen thinks up something else. In fact this seems to be the pattern in the watch world, no one really moving on until Citizen do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pearls were the first stones that were valued and appreciated by people and are still considered as the most elegant stones that require no cutting and polishing. The gem&#8217;s beauty is outstanding from the moment it is removed from the shell. Ancient civilizations of India and China appreciated and accepted pearls widely. China&#8217;s history discusses the value of pearls thousands of years ago and also mentions that Shu King received a gift of pearls around 2300 B.C.</p>
<p>Egypt, the land of beauty, used pearls for decoration and Romans adorned pearls, while the women used it to upholster the sofas or add enhance to their gowns. Pearls are also mentioned in Bible and Koran. Everyone knows that women find pearls irresistible and love to wear pearl jewelry. Women find it suitable to adorn for every cultural festival.</p>
<p>There is wide range of pearl jewelry to suit every woman&#8217;s taste. The whole family can adorn pearl jewelry, thus enhancing their style. Pearl is also considered as a symbol of purity and God&#8217;s gift and, in times gone by, it was considered as the most prized possession one could own. Pearl farmers yield cultured pearls through an extensive and grueling process. This process begins by gathering oysters, sometimes starting from formative years, all the way through raising oysters. Farmers also have to protect the oysters and keep them safe from predators and disease.</p>
<p>Their basic choice begins by selecting perfect oysters for yielding the best-cultured pearls and then surgically implanting the center of the pearl in the oyster thus allowing the cultured pearl to grow. This process takes a time phase that can extend in years to yield the perfect pearl. Only some of the oysters, those are grown to produce cultured pearls, provide pearls that are of sufficient quality to make jewelry.</p>
<p>Nowadays, all pearls that are sold in the market are cultured pearls. Many people don&#8217;t know the difference between cultured pearls and pearls produced from saltwater oysters. Conversely, the process to make freshwater pearls is the same as the one adopted for cultured pearls.</p>
<p>Pearl jewelry goes along with everything, from tweeds to plaids from jeans to skirts and beyond. Still not sure, as to what you want? Go ahead and choose some classic pieces for yourselves or to give as gifts. Guys love to gift pearl jewelry to their wives or girlfriends, as it is a safest bet, especially jewelry made from black pearls. So if you want something memorable and inexpensive, then think of a beautiful pearl ring or magnetic-clasp pearl necklace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Platinum is a very rare and beautiful metal that has being increasingly used for making jewelry, over the past two centuries. It is a strong and malleable metal and is the perfect one for making wedding bands and rings, as it is highly resistant to wear and tear. Platinum wedding rings are fast becoming the ring of choice these days.For over a century platinum wedding rings have been increasing in popularity for many reasons.</p>
<p>Mainly because platinum is a very tensile and malleable to work with making it far easier for a jeweller to stud the ring and vary the design style.Platinum wedding rings are also highly expensive and sought after with many of the rich and famous now wearing them. The exquisite and intricate designs incorporated into the rings make for an irresistible piece of jewellery.One of the qualities of platinum rings are they are much more durable than some other metals and more importantly platinum wedding rings will not irritate and harm your skin like some other metals including gold.</p>
<p>Platinum is graded by the amount of platinum contained in the ring the highest being PT999 then PT950, PT900 and finally PT850 being the lowest. Platinum is also the heaviest of all the precious metals weighing nearly twice as much as gold. This also adds to the feel of quality when worn on the finger.Although some platinum rings will be alloyed with other metals normally iridium and rallerium because these two substances are from the same metal group as platinum it is very rare that even alloyed platinum will cause any detrimental effects to the skin.</p>
<p>Over time and although durable and hardwearing platinum wedding rings will lose their colour and sheen. This is not uncommon with any metal and will be accelerated if the ring is worn regularly due to perspiration and levels of natural chloride found in the air. As opposed to if the ring is kept in a jewellery box or only worn on rare and special occasions. Platinum band also make exceptional engagement rings when studded with either diamonds or sapphires. Diamond and sapphire rings made from platinum have a very modern look and feel. The blue sapphire and white diamond perfectly compliment the silver white sheen of the platinum ring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now body jewelry is becoming increasingly popular as more and more people are going to get different parts of their bodies pierced. The body jewelry industry is also ever expanding as companies and designers think of brand new styles that are even more daring then their last range. With so many people into wholesale body jewelry these days, it is no wonder that people want to know where they can get the best deals on the types of body ornamentation they crave. Here are some suggestions of where you can find exactly what you want and at very good prices.</p>
<p>Piercing salons are a great place to check out a wide variety of wholesale jewelry items, especially jewelry made for body piercing. The designs range from the serious to the hilarious, so you should be able to find pieces that will fit your personality with the greatest of ease. Often, there will be some sort of a discount or sale going on. These may be found either in a wall display with items marked down, or a discount bin near the front of the store. Check out the sale items before you make any type of purchase. That is where you will really save money.</p>
<p>As body piercing has become more of a mainstream phenomenon, it has become possible to find costume jewelry shops that also carry body jewelry at wholesale prices. Since piercing is still seen as more of a youth oriented movement, you can find shops that carry wholesale jewelry for the body in places like malls and major shopping centers. There is also the chance you may find jewelry selections for the body at discount stores in major cities, especially those that are near a beach. Once again, be on the lookout for a sale item, so you can get the biggest bang for your buck.</p>
<p>Internet shopping is also a great way to shop for wholesale body jewelry. In fact, you can spend hours checking out specials at all sorts of shops. You will find many of them will offer free shipping if you meet a minimum amount with your order. The nice thing about online shopping is you have the chance to look at many more designs than you could see in a local shop, and often can get a much better price. An added bonus is that if you are look for a piece of jewelry that is meant for a more intimate location on the body, you have the anonymity of the Internet while you shop. Plus, the jewelry is delivered right to your home, with no one the wiser about the contents of the package.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to diamonds, there are numerous scams to avoid. Most scams are minor, but there are some major ones that come up from time to time concerning the buying and selling of diamonds. With all of the potential for scams concerning diamonds, buying diamonds online almost seems unthinkable! However, you actually can purchase diamonds online, without any problems – as long as you are careful.</p>
<p>First, think about your reasons for wanting to purchase the diamond online, as opposed to making a purchase from a local jewelry store. The most common reason is price. Due to low overhead costs, online jewelers and wholesalers are able to offer lower prices. However, you must be careful – sometimes a price that is too low is a sure indication of a scam.</p>
<p>Before shopping, learn as much as you can about diamonds – especially cut, color, clarity and carat weights. When you are knowledgeable about diamonds, it will be harder for a con artist to rip you off. Once you know more about diamonds, you will be ready to start shopping.</p>
<p>Take your time. Don’t purchase the first diamond that you see that interests you. Instead, look for similar diamonds for sale. Do some comparison shopping to find the lowest and best offer prices. Once you have found the lowest price, start doing your detail investigation. You know about diamonds, you’ve found a diamond that you love, and you’ve found the lowest price – but you are still quite a ways away from actually purchasing that diamond!</p>
<p>In this respect, ask about the seller’s credentials and qualifications, such as professional jewelry associations that they belong to. Ask for a diamond grading report from an independent laboratory such as GIA, HRD, EGL or AGS. You should see this before making a purchase. Finally, use a reputable escrow service for high dollar diamonds – preferably one that will have the diamond appraised while it is in their possession.</p>
