What Gemstone for My Colouring?
The following tips are useful guidelines to steer you towards the most suitable gemstone colour palette.
Is your hair solid silver or dark without golden highlights?
Do you have dark eyes?
Is your skin tone olive, cool or sallow?
Do you look better in silver than in gold?
Then you are amongst the majority of white Caucasian people.
You can wear clear, clean, bright colours particularly with a lot of white in them. Your best basics are black and navy.
Most semi-precious gemstones will suit you but the following are ideal:
Garnet
Amethyst
Lapis Lazuli
Moonstone
Rose Quartz
Black Onyx
Turquoise
Blue Topaz
Does your hair have golden or red tones?
Do you have medium to dark eyes?
Is your hair dark or medium dark?
Is your skin tone golden or peachy?
Do you look better in gold than in silver?
Then the colours of a typical sunny Autumn day suit you - browns, greens, burnt oranges, teal, deep aubergine.
Your best basics are olive green and brown.
The following semi-precious stones are ideal for your colouring:
Peridot
Carnelian
Tiger Eye
Coral
Turquoise
Citrine (especially the golden yellow to orange shades).
Amber
Smokey Quartz
Labradorite
Does your hair have golden or red tones?
Do you have clear, light to medium eyes?
Is your hair medium to light?
Is your skin tone golden or peachy?
Do you look better in gold than in silver?
Then neutral tones are your best basics highlighted with purpley-blue, soft coral or turquoise.
The following semi-precious stones are ideal for your colouring:
Turquoise
Smokey Quartz
Coral
Labradorite
Amethyst
Aqua Chalcedony
Is your hair medium to light with cool tones?
Is your complexion a typical English Rose - radiant with translucent skin and apples in your cheeks?
Do you look better in silver than in gold?
Then all shades of pastel blue, pink and mauve suit you and your basics are grey and a greyed navy.


The following semi-precious stones are ideal for your colouring:
Blue Chalcedony
Moonstone
Rose Quartz
Amethyst
Blue Topaz
Fire Opal


To Match or To Contrast?
- As a rule of thumb contrast the jewellery to stand out on a plain understated outfit e.g. Turquoise or Lapis Lazuli against all black, Coral or Citrine against dark brown. Equally successful is a contrasting but toning colour e.g. Peridot against dark greens, Blue Topaz against navy.
- As part of the same rule, pick out a colour in a print and coordinate to that colour e.g. if you are wearing a multi-coloured pastel print pick out the pink, blue, aqua, lemon, lilac etc. and use a gemstone of that shade to match or tone in.
- Pearls are pretty universal and will add light to most outfits


What Length Chain?
If you're pondering the length of chain you need to wear with a pendant the first thing to decide is what you will wear the pendant with.
Inside an open-necked shirt, over a jumper or with a V-necked T shirt?
A small and dainty pendant will look better on a lighter, shorter chain but a larger, heavier design will suit a more substantial chain and could look stunning worn low on a longer chain.
Once you have made this decision all you need is a piece of string long enough to go round your neck and finish at the point at which you want the pendant to drop.
If it helps you to visualise the finished effect, thread the string through the bail and knot it at the desired length.
Measure the length of string and this is the chain length to buy.


What Style of Earring Will Suit Me?
Jewellery is a very personal affair and you have to feel comfortable wearing your choice.
However, here are a few guidelines to consider:
Face shape and hair style will influence what suits you.
- A pair of large earrings on an elfin face will overpower the face's fine features.
- Similarly, over-large earrings with a short hair cut can look unbalanced.
- Long hair can hide a discreet earring so something more dramatic may be called for.
- A long neck can carry off a long chandelier or drop earring but this style will emphasise a short neck. If you're not a swan, choose a short drop earring instead.
- Hair worn piled up on the head adds height and lengthens the neck. This is an ideal opportunity to wear a drop or dangly earring and it's so sexy!
- Consider the neckwear you have chosen and balance the earring. A dramatic statement necklace requires a discreet, minimal earring. If no necklace is being worn then the earrings can take centre stage.
- Stud earrings suit most face shapes and are practical for everyday.


How Much Jewellery Should I Wear?
- If you are wearing a statement necklace - something large and bold - keep the earrings minimal and discreet. Otherwise the effect of the necklace is lost and your head and shoulders are in danger of looking like an overdressed Christmas Tree. Remember that jewellery is an accessory and should not overpower you. After all it's you who wants to shine!
- Similarly, think carefully about your hands. Many rings of a similar type worn together can create a certain "look". However a special or statement ring needs space around it and does not require accompaniment.


- Avoid over coordinated looks. If you have the matching necklace, earrings, brooch, bracelet and ring they don't all have to be worn together. Be selective and think about the outfit they are accessorising - what does it need?

Necklaces and Pendants have always been a woman's favorite, and there is nothing to be surprised about; after all who doesn't know that a woman loves to flaunt herself and outclass all, and to do this, the prime requirement is to wear something around the neck that enhances her entire persona and fills it up with unmatched and untapped style and elegance.

Sparkling necklaces and dazzling diamond pendants make a great combination in making the entire look of the woman stand out of the crowd with unrivalled beauty. You may have bought a simple necklace, but a stylish designer pendant could make the simple chain, a stunning piece of jewel.

In today's generation the youth has taken full control; their enthusiasm, their want to change the society and things like that, have been leading to the progress of our community. One special quality of today's youth is that, they are very bold and daring and do not fear in experimenting. They don't mind experimenting with different necklace and pendant combinations, making things all the more exciting and thrilling.

On the internet, you could access n number of online jewelry stores without any sort of hustle, but the thing that's missing is that, you won't be able to touch or feel the piece of jewel that you desire to buy. But that's actually taken well care of by the diamond jewelry certifying bodies (GIA, AGS, HRD, and so forth), which ensure that you get the best quality diamond jewelry.

For the youth and especially the college goers, pearl necklaces are highly in demand; the beaded necklaces have also come into trend among youngsters. 

Gold necklaces have always been in popularity since Ancient and Greek times; but often what we see is that, the gold necklaces and gold pendants are worn by woman who are out of college and are ready to get married. The reason to this being that, gold jewelry gives a slight matured look, which today's youth, the college goers prefer not to show, instead they prefer to show their careless and carefree attitude.

The Difference Between Swarovski Crystal and Diamonds

  

  Rhodium Plated 925 Silver Swarovski Diamond Accent Amethyst Heart Shape Pendant Necklace Including 925 Silver Singapore Chain '18 inch

                        Pendants For Necklace

Unless you work in the  Diamonds  or crystal industries, you may be asking the question, "What's the difference?" Quite surprisingly, the majority of the population is uneducated on the subject due to the extreme visual similarities seen by the untrained eye. However, when making the decision between crystal or diamond jewelry, there are many factors to take into account, including the significant price difference.

Daniel Swarovski I invented a machine that revolutionized the process of crystal cutting and for the first time, made it possible to cut  Swarovski Crystal   to perfection. It was the invention and patenting of Swarovski's innovative electric glass-cutting machine, which started the company. In order for Swarovski to achieve the look of their crystals, the crystals are actually cut using the same precision-cutting process in which diamonds are cut.

Authentic Swarovski crystals are made only in Austria and do not occur naturally in the earth. Chemical coatings are used to create the many different colors of the crystals. Swarovski is renowned worldwide for manufacturing their crystal products in different forms, sizes, and shapes, presenting the best in the world in cutting, clarity, and brilliance. When purchasing Swarovski crystal there is nothing to think about, it is guaranteed you are purchasing the highest quality crystal every time. In terms of their operations, Swarovski employs over 20,000 people, with factories in Austria and hundreds of retail stores around the world.

Crystals are commonly referred to as a diamond simulant or imitation. Simulants may look similar to a diamond, but do not possess the same properties. Diamonds are made out of the element carbon. Natural diamonds are made very deep in the Earth about 180 km below the surface where high temperatures and pressure exist naturally. Logically, this is the reasoning behind the higher value and pricing compared to crystals.

When looking to purchase a diamond it is important to know the 4 C's of diamonds, which is cut, color, clarity, and carat. Diamond certification is an important factor when it comes to buying diamonds and it is sometimes referred to as the 5th C. It is strongly recommended that you purchase a diamond that comes with a report, because you may never know the value and worth of your stone if you don't.

In terms of their operations, the search for diamonds is not exactly easy. Many miners and diamond diggers in sub-Saharan Africa travel great distances to find work and submit to gruelingly long hours for low wages, or sometimes no wages. Children have often been exploited to do excavation work because they are small enough to be lowered into small, narrow pits by ropes to dig out sacks of dirt, which is in turn washed by other children in search of diamonds.

Also, even though the development of the diamond industry is seen as key to the economic recovery of war-torn countries, massive environmental degradation is also a byproduct of the rush for riches. Land is often cleared and vegetated areas dug up to create open pit mines, leaving them unsuitable for other farming activities. The salt, heavy minerals and chemical products from mining equipment can run off into rivers and pollute vital water sources for mining communities and people living downstream.

It is ironic how two very visually similar objects can have so many significant differences. However, the few mentioned in this article are important to consider when making your purchase. It is a much more complex circumstance to buy a diamond however, the decision to buy either one of these products depends on each individual's financial situation and reasoning for purchasing.
