Silver Jewelery

Today, silver jewelry has become a most sought after thing and a big style statement. Right from young school or college going girls to older women and even men, silver is THE in thing for jewelry today. Forget the average style conscious person on the road, even the high flying movie stars, politicians and top corporate leaders-all are getting universally charmed by this soft, shining metal.

For both Men and Women
Just like Gold, Silver jewelry also comes both for men and women. However, there is one thing that makes it different from the Gold jewelry. While the men's jewelry in Gold is mostly old fashioned and has traditional, repetitive designs, if you take one look at the range of Silver jewelry available for them you will surely be impressed. There are rings, bracelets, chains, pendants and even ear studs or rings for the more fashion conscious ones. All of these come in really eye catching, off beat and modern designs and sure make a big impression of your style.

As far as women's jewelry in silver is concerned, there really is no end to the possibilities. There is ethnic silver jewelry, tribal silver jewelry and modern, minimalist silver jewelry to choose from. You get rings, bracelets, bangles, anklets, ear and nose rings or studs, as well as neck pieces. The variety in these is really huge and it may baffle you for choice very easily.

Ethnic or Modern
While silver jewelry for men mostly has a modern element to its designs (as that is what would suit the most to our urbane studs), jewelry for women has a more varied look. You could choose from a string of ethnic or even tribal designs that really add drama to your outfits or decide upon a simpler, modern design with clean lines and neat look.

Silver jewelry also comes in combination of semi precious stone or crystals that makes it look all the more breath taking. The latest that is catching up on the tribal silver jewelry is the use of thick, colorful treads to put the unusual silver pieces together in a jewelry article like a bold neckpiece.

Moonlit Attraction
The ancient Egyptians compared the metal to the moon and gave it the symbol of half moon to depict it. The moonlit sheen of the metal makes it extremely attractive and at the same time very soothing too. It is a metal that gets along with most of your outfits and instantly lifts them up with timeless grace and elegance. Silver jewellery is really catching up fats on the world's fashion map too and especially Indian Silver jewelry has started selling like hot cakes everywhere.

So if you have seen a lot of your friends wearing a chunky piece of silver and have admired it too, it's high time you owned up some of your own and created some silver magic!

Showing skin with jewellary

Metal cut outs are a creative way to dress up any outfit. They are delicate, beautiful and feminine to look at, providing an understated yet whimsical feel.

Of all the trends on the market today, metal cut outs seem to have a presence everywhere. The pendant necklace cut out is very hot right now, with many designers catering to this style. Pendant choices include natural elements such as: flowers, butterflies and leaves. The butterfly is especially favored this season, as the most coveted and beautiful insect. Other cut out symbols such as hearts, shamrocks and crosses are other chic possibilities.

Cut out cuff bracelets are extremely hot, with the focus on very wide designs. The width of the bracelet balances out the delicate design of the metal. This type of bracelet also acts an alternative to a solid bangle, as it can be molded around your wrist or upper arm, and is very lightweight.

Cut out earrings are another lightweight option that can be used to dress up a simple sundress or blouse. Available in a variety of colors, including soft pastels, sterling silver and classic gold, there are many ways to wear these earrings. The rose or rosette design is especially in demand and has been featured in magazines from People: Style Watch to Cosmopolitan.

With cut outs especially, the pieces look fantastic as jewelry sets. They don't compete with each other, yet instead offer a complete and complimentary look. Keep in mind that the pieces do not have to be the same size, yet instead can be paired as a large set of earrings and a small necklace. Since this is such a fun trend to wear, it's really about enjoying yourself. The key is to keep other items simple, thus letting the jewelry set be the center of attention.

Diamond wedding ring best fit for your life partner

The wedding ring is perhaps the most romantic gift of starting one’s conjugal life. For most people it is the symbol of eternal and everlasting love. And a diamond ring is the best fitted one for this purpose. In earlier days it were only the kings and the nobles who were able to gift diamond rings because of the lack of supply of diamonds. But today with the progress of technology and the discovery of new mining fields, the cost has been lowered a lot and many can afford a diamond ring. And as because this is a one time event therefore most of the people want to make it special.

It is not that the couple should wear similar wedding rings, but in many cases it is seen that they prefer that perhaps to show the bonding between them. The diamond wedding rings were not very much usual about 500 years ago until the science of diamond cutting was invented. However as stated earlier wearing diamond wedding rings was not that much popular. Earlier people used to wear simple gold bands or rings with cheaper gems. But with a diamond wedding ring the ring ceremony certainly becomes something special.

Though diamond is the hardest matter still diamond rings need to be taken good care of. Not only because it is precious but also because they may not get damaged any way or the cut of the diamond does not get harmed. The cut of a diamond is the most essential thing therefore it should be taken good care so that it never get damaged or else the shine may get dull. And also it should be kept in mind not to keep your diamond wedding ring with other jewelry or else, hitting each other and chipping may spoil the edges of the stone.

The brilliance of the diamond is in its shine but dust, oil from your skin and other tainted substances can lessen the stone’s glow. Keep your ring clean by using soap water every now and again and let it dry in air and polish it with a soft fabric. If the diamond has accumulated dust, then brush the diamond with a worn, soft-bristle toothbrush from time to time, to remove dirt from between the crevices and keep its sparkle unaffected. If any way the stains get more resistant then have a weak solution of ammonia (one-fifth) and water (four-fifth) and brush the diamond applying a soft brush.

You can also get the help of professional maintenance for your precious wedding ring. They use steam or ultrasound methods for cleaning. And also you should take care while purchasing your diamond wedding ring, to ask your jeweler to guarantee that the diamond settings are secure and fit to prevent the gemstones from falling out. The purpose of any diamond ring setting is to hold the diamonds firmly in the mounting and at the same time allow light to enter the diamonds for maximum brilliance. It should always be kept in mind that the wedding ring comes with the oath of life long faith and love for your life partner. Therefore no negligence should be there in taking proper care of the ring after marriage.
