| Wedding Jewelery to match your budget | | Posted Thursday, February 02, 2006 2:56:29 PM by Kate Grant | Finding the exact shade you want may be a quite a task especially when it comes to jewelery. Who said you need to wear pearls or diamonds, or even crystals? You don't have to match the color of your dress to the color of your jewelry. 
We say, go for color! You'll find that getting the wedding jewelery for you and for your bridesmaids will come cheaper, if you'll make them on your own, maybe even on your wedding shower. You can buy beads to match the bridesmaids dresses, and string them, making them in a different shape for each one.
If you're going to have jewelery in your hair, try gluing some fake diamond or pearls to a comb or hair clip. At least you'll know, that if you lose them, they cost only a fraction of the price of real wedding jewelry. Sometimes you can even find great discount on wedding jewelery, especially on line.
Remember, wedding jewelery doesn't have to be expensive to make you look like a million dollars... The only things that have to be real are your engagement ring, your wedding ring, and the love you share.

| | | Wedding event showcases trends, tips | | Posted Tuesday, January 09, 2007 1:15:39 PM by Blog57 Team | | Bling: In weddings, it's not just for the ring finger on the left hand anymore. Today's brides are studding their bouquets and even their wedding cakes with rhinestones. Yes, that's right flowers are and bakery products are now wearing jewelry. Brides are snapping up specially designed bouquet jewels or floral gems. These jewels can be found online and locally jewelry made of Swarovski crystals, rhinestones and precious stones. "A lot of the time, it (the bling) is picking up the sparkles in the dress," said Nichole Campbell, owner of Petal Pusher, 1303 S. Webster Ave. The bling in the bouquet will often mimic the detail in the bodice of the (wedding) dress in beading, crystals or metallic thread, she said. One online site calls the gems "crystal sticks" basically crystals on a wire to be inserted into a bouquet.... | |

"The suspects then locked both Gordimer and her domestic worker in a storeroom and fled the scene," Tsunke said in a statement.

| | | THE GOLDEN YEARS OF THE BABY BOOMERS | | Posted Tuesday, August 22, 2006 9:15:55 AM by Blog57 Team | | Summer holidays are great to keep up with ones reading and, picking only materials by perennial optimistic and good humored authors, I selected some of the recent reviews by my colleague Ken Gassman. Earlier this month, he noted good news for jewelers who target the bridal market. Gold wedding bands have been stable since 1993, when the World Gold Council began keeping statistics. Gold wedding rings are just the proverbial tip of the iceberg for jewelers. Ken then projected that the bridal market will grow by at least 30 percent over the next decade as a new population bubble the children of the Baby Boomers, called Millennials get married. Forecasts call for the number of annual weddings in the U.S. to rise to nearly 3 million annually from a run-rate of about 2.2 million for the past several years.... | |

| | | Gold Gains in London as Weaker Dollar, Higher Oil Spurs Buying | | Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 11:00:22 PM by Blog57 Team | | Aug. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Gold rose in London as a decline in the dollar against the euro and higher oil prices spurred investors to buy the metal as an alternative investment and a hedge against inflation. The dollar headed for a weekly decline against the euro on speculation a U.S. report today will show weakening consumer confidence. Crude oil rose from an eight-week low as the U.S. vowed to push for United Nations sanctions to pressure Iran to curb its nuclear program. Gold has risen 19 percent this year as the dollar slid 8.3 percent against the euro and oil prices surged to a record. ``The dollar is down and oil is up; some investors are using this as a good buying opportunity,'' James Moore, a precious metals analyst with TheBullionDesk.com, said today.... | |
