Even Barbie is Wearing REAL Diamonds!

     Okay, I saw this article and basically just re-posted it. Barbie is dripping in diamonds. We love this!!!!!!
     The Barbie diamond jewelry is created by Stefano Canturi, an Australian designer of Italian heritage. His diamond design for the barbie is describe as “an openwork variously-cut diamond collar necklace, centering upon a cut-cornered modified square-cut fancy vivid purplish pink diamond (approximately of 1.00 carat) and a diamond ring , a perfect matched between strapless black gown with a one-carat square cut pink diamond choker”.

       The Barbie diamonds jewelry is the real diamond if you don’t notice it. It was designed to celebrate the iconic Barbie doll, whose popularity has grow over years. This special Barbie is not only for the girls, but it is actually design for the grown up womenfolk, who are still in love with the Barbie dolls. With the real jewelry on, the auctioned for this Barbie is definitely high in price and also for the unique of this Barbie in the market. With the diamond value on the Barbie, the price is reached at $302,500 for the auction held in New York last week.

      An interesting thing about this auction is that the money from the auction will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the funds would be utilized to help the cancer patients as well as their families. This great Barbie model is not just only a mere doll, but it also represented people feeling about the cancer patients. This way adds a little more charm to this special doll.

      For this Barbie diamond jewelry design, Stefano Canturi need to search back into Barbie history to find inspiration for this design. The special design is always part of Hollywood history as well as the American culture. Canturi was invited by Mattel to create this iconic Barbie and he was done a great job for this special design.

      The Barbie, is not only for little girls now. With her beautiful outfits and elegant accessories, she has join in many events for the grown up girls and some women. You can see from the present of beautiful collections of silhouette Barbie head necklaces, mainly target to the grown up. These collections were designed by Layna and Allan Friedman. The necklaces collections in classic sterling silver in white, rose and yellow gold with a ponytail Barbie are also available for anyone who wants to have Barbie necklaces in her own collections. Another collection is the Luxe version with Pave set diamonds Barbie which anyone who love the Barbie can go for any collection that suit them the most.

Evil Eye Jewelry Isn't Evil after all :)

                    Okay, for the most part, I am not trendy, but I do, however love the evil eye motif.  It stretches all cultures and it's a huge celebrity trend right now. These clever incarnations of this mystic symbol are popping up all over the fashion sites. This kind of jewelry does not discriminate and is easily adaptable between fashion personalities.
                 Firstly, we should acknowledge that wearing the evil eye is not an evil act at all. This is no up side down cross my friends! In fact, wearing evil eye jewelry is supposed to be a protective measure. That little evil eye symbol represents ill wishes from others who are giving ‘the evil eye.’ Ooooh spooky! They say this is especially true for feelings on envy from other people, casting out negative energy when they often do not even realize it. So, as a protective measure, you wear the evil eye jewelry to mirror the ill wishes back at the gazer! So clever and USEFUL when you are an eye catching fashionista like all of our readers.
                Without taking this too literally (hey, this is fashion after all), we are currently in love with rocking this little symbol in the most backwards of ways! Colored in powder pink, stuck amongst a collection of miss matched charms and especially given as gifts to frienemies. This is a fun trend with a very distinct look. And here in the United States, the evil eye doesn’t have much of a religious or superstitious vibe. Or, rather, it has been very diluted.
            These little evil eye jewelry pieces can be found in every store, from the $5 Forever 21  to the pieces which are diamond encusted and in the thousands.  As the saying goes, if you want it badly enough… you can find it online .

The Golden Age is now.

The golden, gilded age is now & the power of knowledge is always immeasurable. The time to sell gold and silver is current. Begin by briefly understanding the process of the quality of gold you own.
Gold is one of the most exquisite and valued metals in the world. Found in bodies of water and the earth’s shell, gold jewels have been eternally popular. Naturally gold can varies in its forms, there is an arranging system designed to alert the buyer and the seller what value it holds in the forms of the term “karats.” This system is used to designate the ratio of pure gold a piece contains.
Ranging in titles from 10K to 24K, the number is also indicative of the worth of the jewelry. Twenty-four karat is too soft to use for jewelry, so other alloys are added to strengthen the gold. Although pure gold is yellow, it can also vary in color. When mixed with certain metals, a rose, green, white and even a two-tone hue. This allows for beautiful variations in style and color, but also affects value. Certainly, as the purity of the gold decreases, the alloy in the jewelry increases.
Geography and the karat number of the gold are also linked. In Europe, the most popular are 18K and 14K. In the US, it’s 14K and 10K. In Australia it’s 18K and 9K. In India, the Middle East and South East Asia it’s 22K. While in China and Hong Kong the most popular is 23.76K, nearly pure gold.
Pure gold, or 24 karat gold, is soft and yellow. As aforementioned, the karat determines the ratio of gold to alloy. Eighteen karat gold is 75 percent gold, 14 karat gold is 60 percent gold, 12 karat gold is 50 percent gold and 10 karat gold is 40 percent gold.
