Some Chic Necklace Finds

If some people loves music and playing with musical instruments like student alto saxophone, there are many people particularly women who love bags, shoes and different accessories that they can use. I’m not really fond of wearing necklaces especially those chunky or statement pieces for there are times that it made me so conscious that there is something on my neck. I guess it’s just a weird feeling but I’m trying to overcome it by wearing necklaces most of the times as much as possible.

When my sis-in-law and I went to Divisoria, the shopping haven here in Metro Manila, I can’t help but to buy some beautiful necklaces when we stopped by a store that sells different kinds of accessories. They are so affordable prices ranges from P180 - P100 being the lowest. Bought them at 999 mall but you can find more at 168 mall.

Here are the necklaces that I bought.

Fashion Isn't Just for Bimbos: 4 Stylish Accessories That Also Have Deep Meanings

When people think of fashion, they often think of individuals with questionable IQs who seem more concerned with what they're getting out of their closet for the day than what's going on in the world. While there are definitely individuals who unfortunately live up to that stereotype, it doesn't mean all of fashion is completely vapid and shallow. Since self-expression is a big part of fashion, it makes sense that there are accessories people wear to convey beliefs that they hold close. Let's go over four different accessories that fall into this category:

Livestrong Bracelet

When the International Cycling Union officially stripped Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles, it came as a shock to cycling fans all over the globe. While allegations of performance-enhancing drugs had swirled around Armstrong for quite some time, he had always denied them. So when the ICU made this official decision, it was a huge deal. And it also had some major effects.

According to various reports, Armstrong said that this decision cost him $75 million in income that's never coming back. Additionally, there are at least six pending lawsuits that could cost him more than $110 million. Those lawsuits are all in some way related to accusing him of financially benefiting from cheating and lying about his cheating for multiple years.

Another big impact of this scandal was on the Livestrong Foundation. Previously known as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the cyclist founded it in 1997 after surviving testicular cancer. In 2003, the foundation launched its yellow Livestrong bracelet. Over the last decade, this bracelet has become one of the most iconic fashion accessories in the world. It seems like just about everyone has had one on their wrist at some point.

The reason Livestrong bracelets seem so prominent is because over 80 million have been sold. That alone has raised closed to $100 million for inspiring and empowering cancer survivors and their families. And while Nike will officially quit making the Livestrong bracelet and all other apparel in 2014, that shouldn't diminish what this foundation has accomplished. In total, the foundation has generated over half a billion dollars since its inception.

Red String Bracelet

Celebrities like Madonna, Ashton Kutcher and Gwyneth Paltrow have all been photographed with a red string bracelet on their wrist. Since celebrities are known for being quite fashionable even when they're just going to the gym, it's normal to assume that this bracelet was just a trend that suddenly caught on in Hollywood. However, it's actually a fashion choice that can be traced all the way back to the Bible.

This bracelet is a folk custom among the Jewish population. The reason it's worn is to help ward off all the bad things that can be brought on by the evil eye. And if you're wondering why it's been so prominently seen among celebrities, it's because it's commonly associated with Kabbalah, which is a specific realm within Jewish thought.

Fish Necklace

If you see someone wearing a necklace with a fish on it, you may think they just liked the way it looked. You may even think they just happen to be fond of fishing. While that's a possibility, if the head of the fish faces left and the tail consists of two lines crossing, chances are it's actually something more meaningful. So, what exactly is this fish? It's known as an ichthys. That word is actually Greek for fish. And the reason this accessory has meaning behind it is because it's a very popular Christian symbol. That's the result of several prominent mentions of fish throughout the Bible.

Pink Ribbon Pin

This accessory is actually related to the first item on our list. Most people don't only wear a pink ribbon pin because it looks nice. Instead, they do it to show their support and help spread awareness about breast cancer. While plenty of people wear this accessory throughout the year, it's especially popular during October since that's officially Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And because breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, as well as the most common cause of cancer death among Hispanic women, it's an accessory that has a deeply personal meaning for many of those who wear it.

Much like tattoos, some fashion accessories are simply about their visual appeal. However, accessories don't only have to serve that purpose. As the above examples show, it's also possible to wear an accessory that shares an important belief with the world.

My Watch Wishlist

I do love watches and if I have extra money, I buy one or two but not to the point that I go penniless. Last year, I wanted to buy myself a Micheal Kors over-sized watch because it was the ïn" thing that time but since I am on a shopping freeze during those days, I opted not to buy. Until now, I am wishing that I have one but still I would not one simply because I have other priorities.

Maybe soon.. I can buy one of these watches that I am eyeing for a long time now. They are perfect to pair with "arm candies" - multiple layers of bracelets.

Michael Kors Rose Golden Runway Oversized Chronograph Watch $275 - at michaelkors.com

Kenneth Cole New York - Multifunction Two-Tone Watch with Silver Link Strap $195.00

Not only are they fashionable but these watches are durable and affordable than other designer watches that you can buy at hefty over thousand dollars.

Understanding Fine Jewelry

What's the difference between a ruby and a sapphire? How many types of pearls are there? If you're dazzled but bewildered by all the beautiful stones on the market, here's a quick guide to further your understanding of fine jewelry.

Diamonds
Shop for a quality diamond by remembering the four Cs: Carat, clarity, color and cut. Diamonds are delicate beauties, so if even one of these areas are sub-par, the whole piece will be, too. Never buy a diamond without asking to examine it through magnification, which will highlight any flaws invisible to the naked eye.

Pearls
Color and luster are the key aspects of choosing a good pearl. Color, of course, because there are a dozen different types of pearls harvested worldwide, and depending on their region of origin they can be anything from a light ivory to a deep blue. Luster, meanwhile, is defined as a pearl's glow, which is a critical factor in determining its value.

Rubies
The symbol of love, passion and power, blood-red rubies have been revered throughout history as one of nature's most evocative gems. You'll make a statement with a ruby, both by wearing one or giving it as a gift. This isn't the stone of half-hearted emotion.

Sapphires
Like rubies, sapphires have a long and culturally significant history. They also share many similar properties, both of them being semi-precious stones. That said, you can tell them apart by sheen, cut and color, especially if the sapphire is allowed to stay its rich, natural blue. Visit a jeweler like Shaneco.com to learn more.

The Story of Diamonds

Man – and woman – has had a love affair with diamonds for thousands of years. They have been used for decoration, as protection and, these days, as an expression of love, as we see in the stunning diamond engagement and weddings rings that seem to be all around us. But what is the real story of diamonds?

How are diamonds formed?

Diamonds are composed of pure carbon, the most common element on the earth. Their story begins over three billion years ago when carbon deposits deep in the earth were subjected to pressures and temperatures so extreme that they began to crystallise. The earth’s surface began to cool but volcanic activity caused magma (liquid rock) carrying the carbon crystals (which we now call diamonds) to flow to the surface. As the magma hardened, so the diamonds became encased vertical volcanic ‘pipes’.

Over millions of years, the rock has been eroded away, freeing the diamonds and leaving them to be washed into watercourses and sometimes down to the sea.

Diamonds are renowned for their hardness and are the hardest substance known to man. They are rated at 10 on the Moh’s scale of mineral hardness with corundum (the second hardest material and from which rubies and sapphires are formed) rated at 9, making them four times harder in absolute terms. Diamonds cannot be scratched by anything other than another diamond. They can, however, be split or even shattered by a sharp blow in the right place, a property exploited by diamond cutters when turning the raw stone into beautiful jewellery.

Diamonds through the ages

The first record of diamonds is in India over 3,000 years ago. Hindus believed that they had extraordinary powers and wore them as talismans to ward off evil. They even placed them as eyes in statues of their deities. The ancient Greeks and Romans also valued diamonds as bringers of good fortune and believed that they were tears of the gods. In the Dark Ages diamonds were thought to have healing powers - holding a diamond in the hand while making the sign of the cross was thought to cure illness and heal wounds. By the Middle Ages, diamonds came to be valued more for their beauty and value rather than their mystical powers.

As their popularity and value increased, mine owners liked to perpetuate the myth that they were poisonous to deter mineworkers from stealing stones by swallowing them.

Nowadays, most people consider the diamond to be a beautiful and valuable gemstone. It is popularly viewed as a symbol of love and eternity and so is used in engagement and wedding rings as the gemstone of choice for many couple.

Sources of diamonds

In the distant past most diamonds came out of India, where two of the world’s most famous diamonds – the Koh-I-Noor and the Blue Hope – were found. But as India’s production dwindled so new mines were found in Brazil and Borneo. Again these were too small to satisfy demand. In the mid-19^th century, diamonds were discovered in great quantities in South Africa and later in Australia where the world’s richest deposits are to be found. Indeed, Lake Argyle (in the remote northern part of Western Australia is now the world’s largest producer by volume although very few gem quality stones are found.

Masonic Jewelry : A Symbol of Brotherhood

At first, I was baffled when I heard about masonic jewelry, so I made a very brief research about it.  Freemasonry according to E-How.com is a secret society or organization that had their own tradition, rituals, signs and symbols. It's a brotherhood organization that dates back to 17th century and if you're a member you'll be proud to wear one of those masonic rings that can symbolize brotherhood. These rings symbolizes you're a part of the group and proud to be one. Famous members are Julius Ceasar, Michaelangelo and lots more. I even heard that Obama is a member as well.

Just some of the many masonic rings that you can find these days and each ring can distinguish the social standing of a member.

What Does Your Jewelry Say About You

Everyone has a favorite piece of jewelry.  It’s that go-to piece that completes the outfit and brings it all together.  Even an engagement or wedding ring full of diamonds can be considered an everyday part of an outfit, and leaving the house without your favorite piece of jewelry may make you feel naked and incomplete.  What you may not realize is that your favorite piece of jewelry can also send a message about you and the type of person you are.

Shiny and Bright

Many people prefer a large rock or shiny piece of gold jewelry.  If we are talking diamonds, this type of jewelry usually implies that you like to be the center of attention and don’t have a problem if people notice you.  Outgoing people love shiny jewelry and love the attention they get from having a piece of jewelry that gets them noticed.

Precious Heirlooms

Is your favorite piece a family heirloom, or a pair of earrings that were brought to America by your great-great aunt when she survived the sinking of the Titanic?  If you love heirlooms and the stories behind them, you are likely to be focused on family and traditions.  Heirlooms like diamonds, rubies, or sapphires are great conversation starters, and many people will love hearing the story behind it and why it’s important to you.  Heirlooms also provide a connection with the past.  If your mother passed on when you were young and you miss having her around, wearing her favorite necklace can make her feel closer to you on a daily basis.

The Handmade Piece

Is your favorite piece of jewelry the friendship bracelet your best friend made you in college?  Or the pair of earrings your mother made you for your 21^st birthday?  Again, you are likely to be sentimental and focused on the feeling behind the jewelry rather than the jewelry itself.  Handmade jewelry comes with its own story and allows you to attach meaning to items that are otherwise just simple pieces of metal.  Wearing handmade jewelry is perfect for the person who prefers to be unique and wants something that is one of a kind.

How to Choose for Her

Now that you’ve got a little background on what a piece of jewelry can say about the person who is wearing, the task of picking the perfect gift becomes a little easier.  Ask yourself the following questions when picking a piece of jewelry for a gift.

• Does she have a unique style and prefer thrift shops and vintage clothing to popular department stores?  If so, she may prefer something handmade.


• Does she hold fast to every family tradition you’ve ever had and does it give her anxiety if the Christmas tree isn’t cut down from the same place every year?  If so, a family heirloom will fit right in with her personality.


• Is she up on the latest trends and does she love being recognized for her style?  If so, she’s likely to love something bright and shiny with her jewelry.

Just like clothing, jewelry says a lot about a person and their personal opinions and styles.  You’re more likely to be attracted to jewelry that fits your personality, further emphasizing that who you are should always play a part in what you wear.

How to Make Costume Jewellery Uber-Fashionable

Costume jewellery is very popular among the youth these days. It looks fashionable and is not a burden on the wearer, unlike genuine gold jewellery. Costume jewellery is also known as fallalery. It is lightweight, goes with modern outfits, and spoils you for choice. You need not worry anymore about owning a heavy piece of real jewellery to match with each of your outfits. You can simply buy a bunch of costume jewellery accessories and flaunt your sense of style to the world!

Fashion or costume jewellery is so prominent that you can own a piece of jewellery for every attire and occasion. But you cannot match random colours or designs. They would only make your personality look unimpressive. A lot of people, especially those in the show business, hire professional stylists to style their look for a certain occasion, event, or public appearance. Here you will find professional tips, which can add glamour to your personality in a matter of minutes. All you need is the right kind of shopping and a good sense of mix and match of colours.

Tips to make your personality look impressive using costume jewellery

If you are fond of summer dresses, you could accessorize the same with a bunch of thick bangles, and metallic rings. If you choose to wear bright colour dresses, you can wear golden metallic bangles, and metal rings. You can wear long chain pendant as these are very popular these days and they highlight the cleavage of your dress and give you an elegant yet bold look.

If you are fond of jumpsuits, you can accessorize it with Boho style jewellery. You can experiment with thick wristbands and hair bands. They complement the semi-tomboyish look very well. You can also wear black stone necklaces that have a gold chain. You can wear floral design rings too. Thick bangles and rings look chic and stylish. You can wear them on casual denims as well.

Bags also make an important style statement. They speak volumes of your tastes and preferences. Not everyone can afford a Louis Vuitton clutch, but when you go out shopping, be on the lookout for thrift shops and street stores. These small places can often surprise you with their non-mass produced items. You can pick up a cute cotton bag, to go with a jumpsuit, or a classy clutch with stones studded or printed designs, to go with your tunic tops or dresses.

You should have good presence of mind when you go out shopping, so that you know which dress you could buy stuff for. You should also remember never to over do it. Do not wear too many necklaces at the same time, just for the sake of it. Necklaces are almost always the first thing which people notice about you, so you want to make a good first impression.

Also, a lot of people buy accessories on the basis of what’s in. But if you want to stand out from the crowd, you must match the right accessory with the right attire. Do not bother about something looking awkwardly individual, it should just complement your dress in the best way. So keep your eyes open, match the right colours with the right dresses and you are in business! To keep inline with the latest fashion trends keep an eye on fashion magazines and websites such as Vogue.

Using Coloured Contact Lenses in Fashion

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500"] image via: http://missosology.info[/caption]

Coloured contact lenses might have had their start in the consciousness of most of us in thrillers, as the protagonist popped blue lenses over their brown eyes, and dyed their hair in the poor light of a motel bathroom. However, coloured contact lenses have now stepped outside the confines of crime fiction, and become an affordable way to change your look - whether that's subtle or startling is entirely up to you!

Coloured contact lenses are now readily available both from high street opticians and online retailers such as www.visiondirect.co.uk, in both prescription and purely cosmetic variants. It may be that you're looking for a subtle change in eye colour for a special occasion, especially if there's a good chance you will be photographed close up, and provide long-lasting memories of happy family occasions. Subtle, natural eye colour changes are usually more successful if you choose a colour closer to your own, as the colour of your iris will inform the result - for example, blues and greys can become vivid greens or turquoise, and hazel deepens into a rich purple.

That is not the case, however, with the kind of effect lenses favoured by clubbers, or frequently used in film and television for special effects. You'll no doubt be familiar with the milky white eyes of a zombie - you'll have a far more attractive result with your fashion lenses, but the level of opacity is the same. Be aware that your vision won't necessarily be very clear, so don't drive when wearing these lenses. In terms of the effect you can achieve, the sky is the limit - patterns and colours to match your clothes, or animal effects for fancy dress, fashion coloured contact lenses can produce some startling effects.

Finally, a word about eye safety - not everyone can tolerate contact lenses, and not everyone can tolerate all types of contact lenses; for the sake of your eye health, please visit an optician for a full eye health check and test before you purchase any coloured contact lenses online, and make sure that purchases are made through a reputable, established retailer. If you don't require prescription lenses - or even if you do - limit your wear of effect lenses, and make sure that you don't have them in for more than a few hours at a time. You only get one pair of eyes - look after them.

Affordable Engagement Rings

If a man wishes to propose to his girlfriend, it is a tradition already to give her a ring that will symbolize his love and devotion to the woman that she’s in love with. It also symbolizes unity and commitment for their marriage. A sparkling and expensive diamond ring is not really compulsory to give but the most important thing is the overflowing love and emotion that goes with the ring. You can have the most expensive ring but if the love and commitment are that there then it’s not worth it anyway.

For those that can afford or wanted to make their engagement more special, getting a special diamond ring is something men always forward to. A lot of stores are offering various engagement or wedding rings and customers will all have the option to choose from. These days, giving a diamond ring not only symbolizes love but also the deep devotion to love each other forever this making the phrase “diamonds are forever” popular.

Stainless Steel Magnetic Bracelet: More than just a Bracelet

Accessorizing can be a little daunting for many because they don’t know what to pair with a certain blouse or shirt while others tend to over accessorize or overdo wearing them resulting to “busyness” of the outfit or classing of the accessories. When you already have chunky earrings, refrain from wearing another chunky necklace and bracelet. Balance your accessories in such a way it can compliment your whole wardrobe.

Accessories not only can make our outfit standout but it is also believed to help in many health issues. I guess you might have heard about the healing powers of magnetic bracelets that’s why women and even men wore them. It is said that it can heal pain and improve overall well-being of a person.
