Like antique jewellery costume jewels are quite old dating back to the 1930s. Costume jewellery is also referred to as junk or disposable jewellery. Costume jewels are made of non precious materials and are disposed of after being used with a particular outfit. Since these articles are quite affordable, matching jewellery can be purchased with different outfits. Unlike antique jewellery, costume jewels are not passed on to generations. This fashionable jewellery comes in fashion for a period of time and then new designs replace the old ones. The designers of 1940s and 1950s have produced creative and eye catching designs of Vintage costume jewels for men and women and are relatively inexpensive yet fashionable and quite affordable.

The material used for making costume articles includes; cut glass, wood, leather, stones, and shells, plastic and other cheap metals. The use of cut glass became popular when the Romans imitated the precious gemstones by making cut glass stones. Wearing jewellery is a very old tradition and is a symbol of friendship, love and loyalty. The styles and designs of jewellery have changed. Vintage costume jewels have always been in fashion with bright and flashy jewel collection.

Vintage Jewels have unusual and beautiful designs. They are usually quite expensive but the gorgeous costume jewels are available at reasonable prices. Rhinestone and other non-precious stones are used in vintage rings, earrings, bracelets and other jewellery articles which makes them sparkling and more fascinating. The artificial stones are beautiful in their own way and they are quite similar to the real ones.

Vintage fashionable jewels can be highly valuable and so they can be a good investment for the collectors. The uniqueness, aesthetic value and superb craftsmanship make them popular collectible items. These jewellery items require proper cleaning and care. There are a plenty of products made for cleaning this type of jewelry. While cleaning your beautiful costume jewellery, you have to be very cautious. Using brushes with soft bristles or wooden toothpicks can be a good idea. Hair dryer, cotton swabs and towels can also be used to clean the costume pieces. Always avoid using water, vinegar or high concentrated cleaning agents. Water damages delicate stones and the polish. Prefer dry methods to clean the vintage costume jewels as it is quite safe. Use brushes to remove the dust from your jewels and to wipe away the fingerprints you can use a cotton swab with some mild cleaning solution.

Never use soap or water to clean vintage costume jewellery as soap makes the metal and the stones dull. If you don’t want to lose the shine of your jewels then do not leave the jewellery wet. You must dry and clean the pieces thoroughly before and after using them. Always store your jewelry in a dry place because dampness can cause rust and other damages to your precious jewels. Keep your valuable jewellery in a jewellery box and take it out carefully when you want to wear it. Avoid rubbing the articles against each other as they can lose their luster. To prevent scratching always store different jewellery items in separate jewellery boxes.

Looking Back at How the Importance of Engagement Rings Came About


Looking Back at How the Importance of Engagement Rings Came About
]]>

Why is there a need for every soon-to-be married couple to have an engagement ring? What is its importance and symbol? This article will discuss everything you need to know about engagement rings.

By definition, engagement rings are being worn on the ring finger of either hand which sometimes depends on which country the soon-to-be wed bride is situated – culture varies, you see. In Poland, their soon-to-be brides wear their engagement ring in the ring finger on the left hand. Other countries also observe a different way of wearing the ring. Engagement rings symbolize the formal acceptance of the bride-to-be of her fiancé to finally tie the knot.

There have been recent traditions about engagement rings nowadays. For example, in USA and Canada, the woman gets to buy the engagement ring for her male fiancé when they get engaged. Meanwhile, in Spain, the woman has to give an engagement wristwatch to her partner upon the acceptance of the engagement ring from him. It may sound a little odd, but that’s how it works in other countries.

De Beers has been believed to be responsible for the popularity of diamond engagement rings in the Western side of the world. Since 1940s, they have been advocating the usage of diamond engagement rings. Its original practice could be traced back in the early centuries to the decree by Pope Innocent III which states that couples intended to marry must wait longer after being betrothed to one another. In order to symbolize the waiting duration, the practice of having engagement rings was then born.

But then, in other countries, it is not really that necessary to give a diamond engagement ring to your partner since engagement rings could be in the form of other colored gems rather than simply the common ones.

Diamonds are the chosen ones since it’s the hardest of all the precious stones which symbolizes loves. However, if the couple or the man is on a tight budget, he could choose other gems like rubes, star sapphires and emeralds. In other countries, the engagement rings used may be just bands made of silver, gold or even titanium without any precious stones being mounted on them.

Now, if you choose to have engagement rings that are metal bands, make use of gold or platinum since these are way durable and it has a higher value compared to other metal-typed engagement rings. Silver are not recommended for engagement rings since it is less durable than platinum or gold.

Back in the old times, the soon-to-be groom is the ones expected to select the engagement ring. At these changing times, most couples would try to live together first before getting married, it is becoming more of a norm for these live-in partners to shop and choose their engagement rings together.

A woman who gets to accept an engagement ring is officially considered betrothed to the man who gave the ring. If, by any chance, she gets to break the ring, she must return it to the man who gave it. Now, if the man breaks the wedding engagement, the woman must not return the ring. In rare cases, whenever engagements are being cancelled, there are times that the court has to intervene to decide who gets to keep the engagement ring.

Bridal and wedding jewellery is specially made and worn on the occasion of a wedding. What makes bridal jewellery sets all the more unique is that they carry with them the memories of your special day. Wearing your bridal earrings or necklace out for a nice dinner or night of dancing can remind you of the joy and celebration of that treasured moment. As beautiful as a wedding dress is, it can often be enhanced with a few carefully chosen accessories.

The jewellery worn by the bride on the occasion of her wedding should be as unique as she is. Many women choose to wear a set of bridal jewellery as the perfect accessories to their wedding attire.

A bride should ideally begin her search for bridal jewellery once she has purchased her dress. Since jewellery is chosen to complement a dress or other attire and vice versa, one should not be chosen without considering the other. There are several factors to consider in order to ensure that your dress and jewellery coordinate. This is also true of bridesmaids’ jewellery and dresses. As with every other aspect of planning your dream wedding, time should be set aside to design the custom jewellery of your dreams.

Common forms of bridal jewellery include tiaras, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and brooches or other forms of pins and clasps. Weddings are about everyone involved looking their best; cufflinks, pins, bracelets, or other accessories are also an option for groomsmen. Not all jewellery needs to match, but attention should be paid to the colours of metals or stones that may clash.

The most important bridal jewellery is typically engagement and wedding rings. These are usually chosen long before the wedding, and while they are very important, they are often of the least concern when establishing the overall look of a bride’s ensemble or the wedding ceremony as a whole.

Finding bridal jewellery to complete your look for the big day can sometimes be a difficult task. You may find that in your search, you come across a pair of earrings and a necklace that catch your eye, but there is no matching bracelet. Likewise, you may find that the individual pieces of a set do not complement each other well. To pull your jewellery or accessory look together, you can have your jewellery custom-made, or purchased from one jeweller. By having your jewellery custom-made, you ensure a consistent and well-coordinated look, composed of individual pieces of the highest quality. The pieces will be made to match the occasion, and one another. You will save time and energy — which are in short supply when planning a wedding! — by purchasing your bridal jewellery all at once. It is no wonder that such pieces of jewellery are treasured as family heirlooms from generation to generation.

The same considerations apply to bridesmaids’ jewellery. Many brides give their bridesmaids a gift as a way to thank them for being a part of their wedding ceremony. Every bride wants her bridesmaids too look beautiful on her special day, as they stand with her. There are many different styles of jewellery that you may consider for your bridesmaids, and they do not have to be prohibitively expensive! Naturally, it is wise to set your budget before you begin shopping.

Colours: Choose metals for your jewellery that can be paired nicely with the material and colour of your wedding attire. White materials look best with silver, platinum, or pearl. Pair gold, silver, platinum or pearl with diamond- or brilliant-white materials. Ivory tones are best paired with gold or pearl.

Neckline: A V-neck works well with a delicate chain and pendant, a choker, or single- and double-string pearls. Pair the necklace with matching earrings for a timeless look. A wedding dress with a V-neck, off the shoulder, sweetheart, scoop, strapless, square, jewel, bateau, or halter design will work well with a necklace. Strapless and sweetheart necklines can be beautifully paired with simple styles of necklaces and a stunning pair of chandelier earrings. Brides wearing a high-neck dress or one with a keyhole will find that there really is no room for a necklace at all. For such gowns, earrings and perhaps a bracelet are a flattering option. Remember that not every type of necklace will complement each neckline mentioned above. Be sure to consult with the experts in order to choose the correct necklace for your gown’s neckline.

Necklaces: From classic pearls to pendants, the primary consideration when choosing a style of necklace should be the shape of the gown nearest the neck (the neckline). Necklaces that are too short or too long can interfere with the overall appearance of the dress. Designs can be very simple, or incredibly ornate; this depends on the look of the outfit as a whole. A gown with sparkles or beads on the bodice may coordinate well with a complex necklace design, or it may call for a subtle and understated one.

Earrings and Bracelets: There are numerous types of each, all of which can form an important part of the whole when combining a wedding dress with jewellery. When the hair is in an updo, beautiful earrings can frame the face to achieve a stunning look that is both modern and classic. Pearls and diamonds are a popular choice for such earrings. Alternatively, some brides opt for coloured gemstones that coordinate with the colour scheme of the wedding. When a gown’s neckline does not allow for a necklace, a bracelet is an excellent way to complement a pair of earrings or other jewellery.

Tiaras, Brooches, and Pins: Worn on the head, a tiara is a distinctly delicate crown that can create a captivating and regal look. Again, an understated or intricate design can bring together the perfect outfit — from head to toe. Many women love the idea of wearing a tiara as part of their bridal jewellery, but others will opt to use a brooch or pin to hold the hair in a certain manner, or to fasten a veil. This adds sparkle and beauty in a tiara’s stead.

One of the most exciting moments for a bride-to-be is choosing her bridal attire. While finding the perfect combination of elements may seem impossible, it may be especially challenging to choose the right accessories. The design or style of the jewellery plays a central role in determining the overall look of the outfit and ensures that there is consistency between the individual pieces of the bridal jewellery set. Keep in mind that the jewellery should not overpower or understate the wedding gown; rather, it should accentuate it. Above all else, the bridal jewellery should reflect the bride’s personal style.

It’s all about taking care of your valuable Jewellery


To keep your jewellery pieces sparkling and dazzling forever, you need to protect them from many things. Colored gemstones, Diamonds and Pearls all need proper care to remain exquisite.

Let us take up Colored Gemstone Jewellery first. Store each and every piece of colored gemstone jewellery separately. Softer gemstones can get scratches, hence must be stored individually. Do not keep your gemstone Jewellery in a stack because almost every gemstone is harder than the metal it is set in. Gems can scrape your gold, silver or platinum when kept in a pile in a jewellery box.

To clean Colored gemstones Jewellery, simply soak it in water with a feel of gentle soap. As per requirement use a soft toothbrush to scrub behind the stone. Do not use harsh soap or any other chemical. You can also clean your Gemstone jewellery by mixing mild soap or detergent with lukewarm water. Pour the prepared solution in a bowl and dip your jewellery into the solution, making sure that the jewellery piece submerges properly. Immerse for 10-15 minutes till the dirt comes off; now use a sponge or a soft brush to remove the dirt. Next step is to rinse with clean water, and then dry the jewellery piece appropriately.

Let us now learn about taking care of Exquisite Diamond Jewellery. Since Diamonds are valued highly and are also an intelligent and precious investment; proper care is required so that it remains forever.

Individual Diamond Jewellery must be kept separately as being the hardest gemstone diamonds can scratch each other. When not being worn, keep your diamond jewelry in separate jewellery boxes. The best advice is to keep each Diamond Jewellery in soft and subtle silk cloth or else in cotton.

Regularly worn Diamond Jewellery needs regular cleaning. Diamond Jewellery is mainly harmed by oily skin, cosmetics, soap, detergents, and the dirt attracted from regular work. Daily household activities play a vital role in harming your Diamond Jewellery hence, we recommend removing your Diamond Jewellery before indulging yourself in household activities.

Let’s not forget wonderful Pearls. Pearls are organic Gems and therefore must be taken care of correctly. Pearls are soft and porous so must be cleaned with a moist cloth. One must also take care of harmful chemicals. We suggest you remove your Pearls off when using elements of chemical like cosmetics, perfume, soap, hairsprays and detergents. Get your Pearls restrung once a year if possible.

Sterling Silver Jewellery is cherished for it’s diversity. Taking care of Silver Jewellery is a tedious task as Silver react with a number of things. Keep your Silver Jewellery in cotton and place it in an air tight jewellery box. Always remove your Silver Jewellery before enjoying a swimming pool. Don’t let your Silver Jewellery come into contact with sulfur and chlorine as these could cause immense harm to your Silver jewellery.

Gemstone Jewellery is loved, appreciated and treasured for the elegance and individuality. Take exceptional care of your Gemstone Jewellery and let it enjoy same worth year after year.

TJC is a TV Shopping Channel offering gemstone jewellery, sterling silver jewellery, diamond jewellery and a variety of other exclusive items at wholesale price across all of the UK. You will find a huge range of gemstone diamond jewellery at affordable prices.

A Thought About Corporate Gifts


An employee’s job satisfaction is strengthened through continuous recognition by their employer.

Firms use various methods to recognize the efforts of their employees. One strategy is to present a gift to mark and compliment an employee milestone, accomplishment, or achievement. A gift, such as a company pin, can also be effectively used to promote unity and cooperation.

When faced with the daunting task of finding the appropriate gift, employers can consider custom-made rings, pins, or pendants, or something truly unique and imaginative that can reach fruition by means of a custom jewellery design.

Through custom jewellery, a design can incorporate a firm’s values, determination, and quality. This can include a company’s logo or a symbol that represents what is most important about, or to, a firm. The significance of this type of custom piece will compliment and emphasize a recipient’s dedication to his or her firm.

Jewellery is valuable, and custom jewellery is personalized, transcending the usual corporate gift ideas. Customized corporate jewellery is ideal for large, medium, and small-sized firms, for small groups of achievers or for an individual.

It is important to establish trust and a relationship with your jeweller, because the finished product will represent your firm’s values. This means that the jeweller should have experience with corporate clients. Not only this, but if you have an idea, a photograph, a design that you like, or perhaps you simply want to start from scratch, a custom jeweller can design your specific piece. You should be able to bring in a sketch, and the jeweller will make your ideas a reality.

 

 

Solitaire Jewellery has established?a strong presence and reputation based on client relationships, impeccable design, and the highest quality.

We want to be your personal jeweller. We deliver attention without intrusion.

We are an expert in the toughest thing in the industry: trust.

Our specializations are creating?custom jewellery, diamond expertise, and diamond engagement rings. Our clientele includes retail, corporate, and film personnel.
