Jewelry Care And Cleaning Tips

Category: Bracelets | Tags: , | No Comments

The cleaning process that is right for each piece of your jewelry depends on the materials and the type and quality of workmanship that went into making the piece.

Properly cleaned and cared for, your jewelry will look great for a lifetime of wearing pleasure.

There are many commercial liquid cleaning solutions on the market. Most solutions are safe to use in most cases, but if it contains ammonia, it can attack cultured pearls and many of the materials used in costume jewelry. In addition, any solution containing bleach can pit gold alloys. Your best bet is to purchase an ammonia free jewelry cleaner.

Most costume jewelry cleans well with mild, soapy water and a soft brush. When cleaning, use a few drops of mild detergent mixed with a little warm water. Don’t soak glued pearl or gemstone jewelry or any pieces of jewelry made with rhinestones. Remove jewelry when you are done cleaning, and dry off with a soft cloth.

There are three important guidelines to follow in caring for your jewelry: separate it, avoid jewelry contact with perfume, hair spray and makeup, and don’t wear it during a vigorous activity.

Most jewelry comes packaged in soft sacks, boxes, tissue paper, or zip-lock plastic bags. There is a good reason for this individual packaging: jewelry is supposed to rest against your body, not other pieces of jewelry.

When something hard, such as a diamond or glass, rubs against something soft, such as gold, pearls, or plastic, the softer materials come out the losers. That’s why it is a poor idea to toss your rhinestone earrings in the bottom of your jewelry box right next to your string of cultured pearls or sterling silver bangle. Separating your jewelry in individual boxes, bags, or the compartments in your jewelry box will help it to last a lifetime.

Put your makeup, hairspray, and perfume on first and then put your jewelry on. The chemicals in these products can damage costume jewelry when applied directly onto them.

Finally, no jewelry holds up well under hard physical activity. Whether you are doing heavy chores, playing a set of tennis, or taking a dip in a chlorinated pool, your jewelry isn’t strong enough to go with you. Removing all jewelry before beginning physical activities can help prevent a disappointing damage or loss later.

Ankle Bracelets: Accessories to Pamper and Adorn Your Feet

Category: Bracelets | Tags: , , | No Comments

Feet are among the most the most beautiful parts of a woman’s body. This fact is often overshadowed by modern media, which highlights women’s faces and torsos, and little else. Yet throughout history, the delicate shape of women’s feet have been paid great respect and attention, as proven by classical literary works by D.H. Lawrence and Lord Byron, to name only a few. In “Double Indemnity,” the hero Walter is so entranced by the ankle bracelet worn by a woman named Phyllis, that he mentions it several times in the course of the movie.

In ancient China, it was such a big deal that women had small, delicate “moon-shaped” feet (that is, with deep insteps) that an entire custom dedicated to foot-binding was developed. This was extremely painful for the women, but the standards for lovely feet back then helped greatly in setting standards of overall attractiveness; women with small feet were considered noble and aristocratic.

Nowadays we have done away with painful practices, knowing that women’s feet are beautiful naturally. The sensuous instep and curve of the ankles call for accentuating jewelry. This is part of why ankle bracelets are increasingly in demand.

Ankle bracelets — “anklets,” for short — are lightweight and fancy decorations for the feet. Many come with tiny charms, which usually include variants of a favorite symbol, like cats, hearts, stars, and bells — the variety is endless. Bracelets worn on the feet are in fact very similar in make to bracelets worn on the wrists, which is why for many, bracelets and anklets are interchangeable.

For the most part, ankle bracelets are casual accessories: they are best worn on an ordinary day out having fun. Multicolored anklets woven from fibers or threads look great with casual sandals or flip-flops. However, ankle bracelets made of fine-spun gold and silver make a beautiful tandem with fashion shoes, and look great for formal events.

Moissanite Bracelets

There is an amazing selection of moissanite bracelets available on the market today.

There is an amazing selection of moissanite bracelets available on the market today. A cursory glance at the brochures and websites of select outlets gives one a choice of styles ranging from Four Pronged, Box Channel, Half Bezel, Florentine Wave, Eternity Love Bangle, Round Cut and Tennis bracelets. There are further distinctions between the Antique/Vintage and New Wave styles. 14 Carat gold, either white or classic yellow, seems to be the preferred anchor for the brilliant moissanite featured on these bracelets.

With prices ranging from $1000 to $3000 and above, it is evident that moissanite bracelets are worn by a cross-section of jewelry lovers, far larger than the diehard \”diamond set\”.

Besides being the most ostentatious(the wrist is almost always in motion and on display), the bracelet is a piece of jewelry that takes far more punishment than most other kinds. The fact that moissanite are as scratch proof, unfading and color-consistent as diamonds goes a long way in making them the stones of choice for this accessory.

Owing to the repeated wrist motions we engage in at any given time, a moissanite bracelet puts the stones fire and brilliance on spectacular display. Moissanite, it must be remembered, has a refractive index (brilliance) of up to 2.69 as compared to that of diamond (2.42) and a dispersion (fire) of 0.104 over a diamonds 0.044. Furthermore, its luster or the amount of reflected light usually exceeds that of a diamond by as much as 2.3%.

The process involved in creating a moissanite involves subjecting silicon carbide or SiC to as much as 1200 degrees of heat and up to 50,000 atmospheres of pressure. The resulting stone is much larger than naturally occurring diamond and can be far more intricately crafted. A moissanite bracelet, when chosen by a discerning buyer, is therefore a matchless wrist adornment.
