The thought of losing Jewelry

In many shows and movies, losing jewelry can shift the story to a new direction. A individual who lost the item will start panicking and cause a dramatic shift to the whole story. The transition from the state of normal behavior transforms so rapidly that they would worry before they think where they might have placed it. The feeling of losing something would make someone feel fragile. They will feel so confused and start searching throughout the house or apartment.

If, on the other hand, you purchased cheaper jewelry like, cubic zirconia rings. The pain you suffer from losing it, will not be as painful compared to gold or silver. Due to the economic downfall, less people are willing to purchase high quality stones. CZ rings are similar to diamond rings but cost 1/10th the price. If I were to lose one ring, I would choose the cz ring over the diamond ring. The feeling of losing something so costly is intolerable.

How would you feel if someone lost your clip on earrings that cost $15? How about if someone lost your diamond ring that cost $15,000? Perhaps, the person that lost your $15 can be forgiven, but it’s that much harder for someone who lost the $15,000 ring to be forgiven. It is completely understandable because of the value of the jewelries. One might say that value doesn’t come in price. It depends on how an individual value it. Therefore, losing something irreplaceable can also cause someone to feel depressed and miserable. I’m sure most people have come close or felt like that when they are missing something. That feeling can bother an individual throughout the entire day.

Trendy Earrings - Jade

Jade is a very significant type of gemstone. It is a well-known gemstone around the world. It was very popular in ancient China because it was considered to be the “imperial gem”, China identifies Jade to be more valuable than silver and gold. In my opinion, I would say that silver and gold still holds the “greater” value. Silver and gold are heavier and more dazzling when being seen with one. Nonetheless, Jade still holds a vital value to the people who takes pleasure in its significant meanings.

When wearing big fancy earrings, particularly gold earrings the size of a thumb, it is astounding. People will start thinking that you are boastful. This style is more for a fancy high class ballroom dancer or some musical award ceremony. However, something more subtle like jade earrings can form a more calm and passive look. It is more casual and formal. Jade has been important to Chinese people and to the Chinese history. It is a virtuous gemstone because it symbolizes hardness, durability, and beauty. For example, they would think jade can protect them from evil spirits. A lot of people would believe this to be true and buy jade for that reason. Jade earrings usually come in different designs. They can come in different colors and sizes and shapes. There are hard and soft jades as well as different shades of jade. Gold earrings, on the other hand, are only different by their design and karats of gold. Majority of gold looks the same but has different designs. I would say jade has more variety.



Gold and jade clip on earrings are not as popular as regular earrings but are still used throughout the world. It seems to me that the more people who gets familiar with jade, the more people want to put their hands on some. When I saw jade in real life, I felt that I needed to get one. Although it's not the most shimmering and glittering gemstone, I felt a connection, like nothing I felt before. It also makes me feel a little more confident.

How to Wear Cuff Bracelets for Fall

With cooler weather approaching, it’s time to start thinking about sweaters and tunics, blazers and boleros. And you might be wondering which bracelets to transition from summer to fall and which new pieces to pick up that will best compliment your current closet full of cold weather clothes.
Cuff Bracelets
If you already own a plain blouse in a solid color, use this as a foundation for adding gold cuff bracelets. You don’t have to go for solid 14K gold either. Instead, for more wallet friendly pieces, try gold plated or gold tone bracelets. These are perfect office-friendly accessories.

If you already own a 3/4 length sweater or a boyfriend jacket where the sleeves can be rolled, take the opportunity to sport a statement bracelet in a great design. Gold bracelets reign supreme for fall and you can’t go wrong with a classic cuff or bangle in a twisted rope design. Or, try a few thin bracelets that mix metals like sterling silver and yellow gold.
Cuff Bracelets
Although statement jewelry is in, cuff bracelets don’t always have to be over-the-top. Keep it in perspective and wear things that have small interesting details like braids, chain link or studs. These pieces are wearable to work or for play and won’t limit you to one season of wear.
Cuff Bracelets
The most important thing to remember when selecting your accessories is to wear pieces that you like. No matter what’s in or out or what the magazines are ranting and raving about, be conscious about what you are spending and how much wear you’re going to get out of it. Take a popular over-the-top trend and put your own spin on it. After all, fashion is about personal expression and individuality, so show off yours by wearing bracelets that you adore. You’ll look great and feel even better with this confidence.
