Some Jewelry Details at Emmy 2012

As the Sunday event draws to a close everyone started discussing the jewelry that sparkled on the red carpet. While Sophia Vergara impressed with her 175 carats jewelry but there were a few stars who opted for colored gemstones for this special occasion.

One of the most impressive display was of model Heidi Klum who wore an Alexandre Vauthier frock with a daring low-cut and a thigh slash. When asked why she chose this dress she replied that she was drawn to this outfit for its 'sea foam' color. According to her stylist Oribe Canales the inspiration for having an intriguing mix of the Seventies and Nineties.

It reflects a unique combo of soft but severe and decadent but sweet. As for the jewelry she had a good selection of gemstones including black opal along with vivid natural pink diamond. But the real highlight of her jewelry ensemble was the Paraiba drop earrings. It is important to take note that The Paraiba tourmaline is among the rarest and most valuable gemstones in the world due to several combined reasons. This due to a few reasons like this type of tourmaline was found in two places on earth which have been mined out. So these mines produce very small yields making the mining processes were costly. Besides this she wore two rose-gold, diamond and Paraiba rings.

Another star who opted for some colored gemstone is Jane Krakowski. She opted for an onyx and emerald gemstone ring for this event . Which she paired with a pair of platinum, diamond and emerald earrings. If Krakowski opted for emerald ring, Sarah Paulson picked out sapphire bangles. Paulson looked really chic at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards in platinum gold, two-drop diamond earrings with over 50-carats of diamonds. Along with this she she had a white rose-cut diamond bangle which gave an excellent contrast to the two platinum gold, black diamond and blue sapphire bangles.

If these stars opted for emeralds and sapphires can Ruby be left behind so here we have Sarah Hyland who wore a classic platinum, diamond and ruby earrings that she paired with platinum, diamond and natural ruby ring and a platinum and diamond bracelet.

5 Questions to ask when buying a Colored Gemstone

1. Are the stones natural or synthetic?

When you are buying a jewelry with colored gemstones, it is very important that you know if the stone is natural or synthetic. While the synthetic stone look good and are genuine too, they are not natural and hence they cost much less.

2. Is the color natural or enhanced?

Many gemstones that we find in the market are given various kinds of treatments to enhance their color. Lot of them are permanent colors, while some are are only temporary and they tend to fade away with time.

3. What do the names mean?

Be careful of the misleading names. A lot of times gemstones are not what their names suggest. Such as Brazilian Sapphire is actually blue tourmaline, Bohemian rubies are garnets, Rangoon diamonds are zircons. So, whenever a stone is described with a qualifier, it is important that you find out if the stone is genuine or not.

4. Do you like the color?

First, you need to learn how to critically look at the color. Which color is that particular gemstone is considered the best. But then at the end of the day, what matters is the color that you like. You might like the not so rare color which might not even cost as much as the rarest one.

5. How good is the clarity of the stone?

Colored gemstone often come with inclusions. Inclusions are like fingerprints of nature inside the crystal structure of a gem. However, too many inclusions can affect the color of the gemstone. Sometimes inclusions can even reduce the durability of the gem.

Birthstone Jewelry – Does it really work?

I was somewhere reading about Birthstone Jewelry and that it has become quite popular concept these days. So many people these days are gifting birthstone jewelry to their friends and family on special occasions.

Birthstone Jewelry, it said makes a great personalized gift

So I decided to research a bit on Birthstones. I always thought that birthstones and birthstone jewelry were relatively new concept, more like a marketing strategy. But then I found that their birthstones and their history actually go more than few century back.

For thousands of years birthstones have been coveted for their influential powers and the ability to bless and protect its wearer. However, various cultures had a different list of birthstones and they also had a different ways of defining a birthstone.

Finally in the year 1912, Jewelers of America created a standard list of birthstones that they named as the list of  Modern birthstones. And, that is how the current birthstones list that we hear about often came into existence.

 

Personally, I don’t know which stand to take. How much do these birthstones actually influence its wearer. I have heard of many stories from people where they said that since they started wearing their birthstone, they life has changed and that too for good.

I have never tried it myself  so can’t really say. But then come to think of it again, till the time you feel even a bit that the birthstone will have positive affect on your life. Then you should go for it. After all, isn’t it just the way you look at it.

What is your take on it? Do you think Birthstone Jewelry actually works?

Fashion means – Clothes or Jewelry

Fashion is not all about clothes; Jewelry too plays an important role

What would Angelina Jolie look like if she wouldn’t have worn emerald jewelry at Oscars? How would have Venus William’s blue kimono gown looked without the silver necklace at ESPY Awards? Do we ever think that how dull our clothing will be without any jewelry? Jewelry not only adds zing and glamour but also give an elegant look to the wearer. This very well verifies the importance of jewelry in the world of fashion. Not only clothes, but jewelry trends too change with time. From diamond jewelry to gemstones, silver to gold, every piece of jewelry is worn differently depending on one’s attire and choice.

When a piece of jewelry is well coordinated with the dress, it not only creates an impact but also looks classy. A pair of gemstone drop earrings and pendant when coordinated and worn with any color, looks simple and elegant. It’s just you who will have to decide, what suits your taste and blends well with what you wear. Also keeping things simple and graceful is in vogue nowadays so overdoing with your jewelry is a complete no no!!

Sapphire jewelry to match your mood

No, this isn’t crazy. You can actually have your jewelry speak your mind. Check out how my jewelry expresses my moods.

When I am cheerful I prefer dangling earrings in dark blue sapphire with diamond accents or white sapphires. The pretty earrings brighten up my fac

e and bring more radiance to my smile. I wear light makeup to let the earrings be the focus.


For a sophisticated look I prefer sapphires and white diamonds. I think nothing matches luxury better. Days when I feel like not dressing up at all sapphire studs do justice to my subtly elegant look.

So don’t just wear jewelry to match your dress, try and match your jewelry to your mood also. You’ll see the magic it does to your overall look.
