Everybody likes to present themselves in a unique form. They have their own style. Clothing and jewellery are the two best ways to present oneself. An elegant pearl piece looks gorgeous on anyone irrespective to look, height and figure. Pearl jewellery acts as a very flexible wearing in the wardrobe.
Wearing clothes are bounded with a number of rules as one has to consider the garment, the place, color of the dress according to the skin tone etc. But wearing jewellery is bound with no rules. A simple pearl beaded necklace looks elegant on any type of event and different costumes. Jewelry adds to the way that you dress. It gives a complete look. The craze of pearls is seen even today. Pearls look great in any form. It may be ring, necklace, anklets or bangles. Fashion of wearing pearls is never out. It is an evergreen material and can be adorned any time round the year.
A pearl enriches one’s beauty with gold, silver and white polish. Even if accompanied with diamond or any other kind of gem it is able to maintain its charm. Pearls are available with the wide variety. There are plenty of sizes and colors in pearl. The shapes in which pearls are generally seen are round, square, button, drop, oval etc. Round pearls are difficult to find, but they give a great look when adorned in a piece of jewelery. Pearls also are available in a variety of lengths such as collar which is 10 to 13 inches long, choker which is 16 to 18 inches long, princess which is 17 to 20 inches long etc.
Pearls are made naturally or cultivated. Now days they have been cultivated in a number of countries. Natural pearls are quite expensive but cultured once are at affordable rates. Cultivated pearls can either be made of fresh water or salt water. There are three types of salt water pearls- the Akoya, South Sea, Tahitian. Mikimoto ranges highest in the quality, Akoya is white, silver or cream in color and others are of darker shade. These pearls are valuable than the fresh water pearls. Pearl jewellery may cost more than diamond jewellery. It is life time treasure which can be passed from generation to generation.
It is very important to choose the right kind of pearl. Some important observances should be kept in mind while purchasing it. Luster of the pearl is the most important point which has to be focused on. The quality of the pearl can be judged by the kind the luster it has. One should be able to see the reflection on the pearl. The surface of the pearl should not be with any kind of unevenness, spots etc. To get the idea of the thickness one can rub the pearl on the teeth. If there is a rough feel it has good thickness.
It is recommended that the young should prefer wearing a small piece of pearl to give a delicate look. The older ones can prefer long sized pearl to enhance their personality.

A New Affordable Jewellery shopping experience for the fashion-conscious
Susan Salkeld asked:
Jewellery Shop Online is a flourishing Irish-based costume and designer jewellery store. As the name suggests, the difference here to the usual pricey High Street jewellery shops is that all their elegant goods can be viewed via the internet from the comfort of your own home. The website is highly appealing with a very professional and modern layout. The business was set up and developed by Susan Salkeld, who has a keen interest in ladies fashions. The online jewellery store is based in Dublin but delivers to all of Ireland, as well as catering for regular customers across Europe and even farther afield.
Susan explains the concept and philosophy behind her growing venture, “Having often purchased designer clothes and footwear myself from worldwide internet shops, I realised that the necessary accessories were not so readily available online. I found this odd because items such as costume jewellery and bags are not as bulky as clothing and shoes [for delivery] which now sell extremely well over the internet. After chatting with a few jewellery designers, I decided that I could provide a service to introduce and supply beautiful, modern pieces of jewellery which compliment today’s fashions.”
“At Jewellery Shop Online we want to bring variety, colour and glamour to the jewellery accessory market. There’s a real wow-factor about most of the items we offer, especially when actually seen and handled. But we also hope our affordable prices bring an extra smile when the buyer realises how much cash they’ve saved by browsing around our shop.”
Susan personally vetted high-quality suppliers from around the globe and then selected the extensive range of stunning products on display. Notable collections include:
Krystal London -Krystal are recognised as the leading designers and manufacturers of exquisite designer jewellery using only the highest grade Swarovski Crystals. They are universally renowned for their high quality pieces and attention to detail. Huge dangling chandelier earrings, crystal shower necklaces and cuffs are just some of the pieces you can view in this collection. Everything in Krystal’s display is designed by Kish Vasa who has over 20 years of experience, thus guaranteeing exceptional and unique designs.
Lola Rose – In their section, you find examples of some of the most beautiful semi-precious jewellery on offer today. You will be dazzled by creations in an array of stunning and unusual colours. Susan has called upon the services of Lola Rose’s leading modern jewellery creator, the highly-talented Nicola Gewirtz, to offer pieces which catch the eye with great effect.
The Silver Collection – For fans of silver jewellery, Susan has hand-picked a great range of desirable items which will “set off” your outfit, regardless of the occasion. From beautiful dress rings and classical necklaces to stylish cuff bangles and bracelets, Jewellery Shop Online doesn’t disappoint in silverwear accessories. The website is proud to boast that all its silver goods are hallmarked after passing the most rigorous of inspections at The Assay Office in Dublin Castle.
Rhinestone Crystal Jewellery – For that special occasion, Susan’s e-commerce shop can provide those important finishing touches to a memorable outfit; sparkling rhinestone crystal chokers, co-ordinated earring & necklace sets, tiaras, etc. Some items have been selected with weddings in mind, but the more understated designs are perfect to add class and sophistication to evening and party wear.
Jewellery Shop Online has a fabulously large selection of general designs featuring semi-precious stones which originate from all corners of the world. In some cases, the ethnic origins of the pieces come to the fore, literally in their shape, weight and highly attractive but rare colours. Other creations follow more traditional, antique styles but here the nicest surprise comes by way of their pricing which would suit anyone’s pocket even in these hard times.
Susan knows that fashion-conscious women must spend their hard earned money wisely. As she points out, “We have done thorough research regarding our jewellery pricing structure and our aim is to offer the lowest possible prices for all our jewellery lines. Our designer jewellery is on average 15% lower than anything like its equivalent in trendy department stores in Ireland. Our prices start as low as €8; in fact most of our stock cost less than €100 per item and we don’t retail anything valued over €300. We wanted to offer our customers something different that was affordable, so that we ladies can occasionally spoil ourselves without feeling guilty.”
The beauty about buying online apart from the obvious – trying to find time in our busy lives to take a day out to walk around various shops, sitting in traffic jams, parking problems, queuing at tills, etc – is that the prices are often much less than buying in the High Street shops. Susan confirms that this is mainly due to the online retailer not having to pay rent on display premises, and the saving in overheads is then passed on to the customer. Many people these days prefer to do their shopping via a convenient laptop or PC, and then have the ordered items delivered right to their front door. Susan sees no reason why shopping for good quality jewellery cannot follow this increasing trend.
Jewellery Shop Online imports its stocklist from countries all over the world. By doing so, they capture many exotic and gorgeous styles influenced by the different cultures they trade with. Susan hopes to bring both quality and variety to Irishwomen, and we cannot argue with her aspirations in the costume jewellery field. Already she is able to boast, “Currently we have two major designers on board but I’m hoping to have another three by the end of the year. It’s important to change stock and styles on a seasonal basis.”
‘Customer-care’ is also another of Susan’s buzzwords. She knows through her own online shopping experiences that the development of trust and good relationships with apparently faceless retailers is vital. “We always make sure we respond to any queries as quickly and efficiently as possible”, she remarks. “We also encourage feedback or requests – if a customer would like to see more items of a particular design or they are looking for a very special item of jewellery, then we will try our utmost to accommodate them”.
When asked to sum up why she seems to have limitless enthusiasm for her business, Susan answers effortlessly, hardly pausing for breath. “Since an early age I have always had a passion for beautiful jewellery whether it is fashion, costume or designer. I am realising my dream of supplying beautiful jewellery to ladies everywhere at prices they can afford. It makes my job such a pleasure. Jewellery is glamorous and fun – as it should be.”

Jewelry – One of the Oldest Form of Body Ornament
Bikky Khosla asked:
Jewelry (also spelled as Jewellery and Jewelery) are ornaments like necklace, rings, earrings, bracelets, bangles, toe rings, etc. made of different precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and also from precious and semi-precious stones like pearls, gemstones, diamonds, etc.
Jewelry is the one of the oldest form of body ornament. Earlier jewelry was made from natural materials, such as bones, animal teeth, shells, wood and carved stones. These days beads are frequently used in jewelry. Beaded Jewellery commonly encompass necklaces, bracelets, earrings, belts, and rings and the beads can be both large or small.
Around the world, the demand of gold jewelry is on the rise and so are the prices. This form of jewelry looks beautiful and the Jewellers are coming up with new mesmerizing exquisite designs every day. For making gold jewelry, gold has to be mixed with other metals in required proportions to make it malleable and durable, as the purest form of gold that is 24 carats is very soft and cannot be used for making jewelry.
Gold jewelry used in India are available in 22 kt gold, 21 kt gold, 18 kt gold with purity of 91.6%,. 87.5% and 75% respectively.
Other types of jewelry that are catering to fashion conscious people from across the globe includes artificial jewelry, costume jewelry, fashion and imitation jewelry, pearl jewelry, gemstone jewelry, imitation and antique jewelry.
In India, export of gems and jewelery items during April – May 2008 has registered a growth of over 25%, in terms of rupees, as compared to same period last year. The growth of the gems and jewelery industry is commendable considering the fact that the rupee gained over the US dollar for most part of the year.
So where should one go to buy jewelry? Well, you can buy from your nearest jeweler’s store or get on to the internet and search for sites selling jewelry, but make sure you buy hallmark jewelry as hallmarking certifies that the jewelry conforms to national & international standards of purity.
In India, the BIS i.e. Bureau of Indian Standards undertakes certification of purity of gold jewelry in accordance with Indian Standards IS:1417 Grades of Gold & Gold Alloys.
If you are an importer or a buyer based outside India and have a buying requirement for any form of jewelry from India, you can always log on to site Tradeindia.com
