When I sell my jewelry at live events, I often encounter customers who have a hard time choosing the color they like best among the options offered. Now, mind you, I don't offer many options. My original Dream Catchers Collection, for example, could only be purchased with either red fringe on copper or turquoise fringe on sterling silver, but there were still those who couldn't decide. To make things easier, I always ask my indecisive customers the same few questions that help them make the right choice. These are simple questions you can ask yourself next time you go jewelry shopping.
Do you know how to choose quality when you shop for turquoise jewelry? Can you spot the difference between natural and man-made stones? Do you know that magnesite turquoise and howlite turquoise are not turquoise at all (hello, cheap dyed stones!)? Are you buying turquoise dust glued together or an honest to goodness piece of turquoise gemstone? If answers to some or most of these questions are a total mystery to you, read on.
Are you in love with long earrings but don't know if they'd suit you? And how long is too long anyway? If you've often been asking yourself these questions, you've come to the right spot. In this blog post, I'm talking long earrings: who should wear them and who shouldn't, how to pick the right shape and color for you, and yes, how long is too long.
When choosing a necklace to wear, you should always consider the type of neckline on the outfit you'll be wearing with that necklace. Not all necklace lengths and styles play well with all types of necklines, and today, I will give you a few practical tips to always choose the right combination.
What about all the inexpensive jewelry out there, on the market, that claims it is made with turquoise? Sorry to burst your bubble, but most of those stones are not turquoise at all. They are usually magnesite and howlite dyed in turquoise color. The rest of the cheap stones are imported, inferior quality turquoise. So, how do you know what to choose? Glad you asked, because I'm about to give you a little lesson here.
Did you know that your facial features dictate what jewelry styles you should be wearing? Oval faced ladies can wear almost any necklace or earring length and shape they want. For the rest of us who are not so fortunate, here are some basic rules of thumb.
