That’s why brands like Lola Rose and BoBijou are so successful that they offer the real jewellery with hint of fashion at affordable prices.

 

In order to make the successful appearance wearing beaded jewellery, you need to find the right colour and style to key in with the latest fashion trend. Choose the right colour of pearls and stone, try to wear chunky colourful statement pieces with only one piece of beaded jewellery, to avoid too many clashing pieces.

January 8th, 2010 Designer Jewellery No comments

Bridal jewellery is a very old custom that dates back to medieval times and this practice is still continuing. In earlier times, bridal jewellery was supposed to be the privilege of the rich and the wealthy, but as time passed by, it became the right of every single bride, rich or the deprived. Nowadays, one of the main attractions of a wedding is the bridal jewellery and the worthy holder of the jewellery is often the centre of attraction in a wedding ceremony.

Bridal jewellery made of gemstones is a pretty new fad and for this type of the jewellery people often use diamonds, pearls and other expensive and attractive stones. The bridal jewellery is having the distinctive responsibility of enhancing the charm of a bride on her wedding day and it also compliments the attire of the bride. People often look to come up with gorgeous, yet affordable set of dress and jewellery and this involves a lot of planning, especially about price range of the bridal jewellery. On a wedding day, jewellery is not only for the bride but also for the other people who attend the occasion and hence this is a big market for the businessmen to pursue.

A practice of more recent origin is self designed bridal jewellery, where the bride herself takes on the onus of designing the jewellery that she has to wear on her wedding day. They meticulously choose the right gemstones for adorning the bridal jewellery and this chosen stones would also match the wedding attire in colour, lustre and magnitude. But professional jewellery designers are always there for those brides who havenâ??t got the unique skill of designing their own bridal jewellery.

Over a period of time different styles of bridal jewellery sets have emerged and presently there are umpteen numbers of collections available with different styles and fashions for the bride to choose for her wedding. She can have the luxury of using costly stones like pearls, diamonds, ruby or sapphire and if she aspires so, she can also go for bridal jewellery made of the very expensive metal, platinum. So the bride can choose her jewellery based on her personal taste and affordability, for this is the most auspicious day for her.

Wedding is a very unique occasion for a lady and hence there should not be any stones left unturned to ensure that she is going to have a very memorable event in all senses of those words. Bridal jewellery is a very important aspect of this very special day and therefore it is very much important to give due care to buy them from distinguished brands like BoBijou, that offers marvellous range of bridal jewellery collection which is rare and trustworthy.

A pearl is a hard, rounded object produced by certain animals, primarily mollusks such as oysters. Pearls can be used in jewellery and also crushed in cosmetics or paint formulations. Pearl is valued as a gemstone and is cultivated or harvested for jewellery.

There are two types of pearls, one is natural or true pearl and other is cultured pearl. Natural pearl is formed without any human intervention at all and these are very rare. Cultured pearl is one that has been formed on a pearl farm with human aid. Pearls are generally white or cream, but the colour of pearl can vary according to the colour of nacre in the various species of mollusk used. Pearls can be black, dyed yellow, green, blue, brown, pink and purple.Value and Use of Pearls in Jewellery

The value of the pearls is determined by a combination of the luster, colour, size, lack of surface flaw and symmetry. Natural pearls are very rare jewels, thus very much costly. The valuation factors include size, shape, surface quality, orientation, and luster. Luster is the most important factor of pearl quality.

Pearls come in different shapes. They can be round, semi-round, button, drop, pear, oval, baroque, and circled. Perfectly round pearls are the rarest and most valuable shape. Semi-rounds and button pearls are used in necklaces. Popular use of button pearls is in single pendants or earrings. Drop and pear shaped pearls are referred as teardrop pearls and are used in earrings, pendants, or as a center pearl in necklaces.Grading and Quality

Unlike diamonds there is no universally accepted standard for grading pearls. There are, however, universally recognized grading criteria. Pearls are unique among gemstones because they are natural, organic products of living creatures, so they have different grading standards. Six factors determine the quality, value, and beauty of pearls: nacre, luster, surface, shape, colour and size.Care of Pearls

Pearls are organic substance made of calcium carbonate. It’s very important to care for your pearls. They can be damaged by cosmetics, perfumes, hair spray, or any chemicals, even natural acids contains in body oil or sweat can damage lustre of pearls. So, you should put your pearl jewellery at least 30 minutes after applying such cosmetics containing chemicals.

The important thing is to understand the importance of your jewellery, to know about their proper handling, maintenance, and timely cleaning.

There are few handy tips regarding handling of jewellery:

1. Respect the preciousness of your jewellery. Never wear jewellery when doing household works, like cleaning, cooking or gardening. Wear jewellery for proper occasions or celebrations, which are special for you.

2. Avoid any kind of chemical contact with your jewellery. Your nail polish removers, perfumes, hairspray, and other cosmetics can be harmful for jewellery due to presence of chemicals. These chemical can reduce your jewellery shining caused by polishing.

3. When not in use, place your jewellery items in the boxes or cases specially made for them, which are provided by your jewellery manufactures at the time of buying jewellery.

4. Clean your jewellery at a regular time interval. This will keep your jewellery items clean, shining, and always new. Ask your manufacturer for a proper cleaning solution for your jewellery. They will provide you cleaners, but not all jewellery products should be cleaned with same cleaner. It depends upon jewellery type. Diamond jewellery, pearl jewellery, and gold jewellery all are having different natures, so different cleaners should be used to clean them.

5. Avoid wearing jewellery when swimming in a pool. The chlorine in pool water can be harmful for your jewellery.

Gold especially 22-carat gold is one of the softest metals, and it can get scratch easily, so try to protect your jewellery from scratches. Visit your jewellery manufacturer time to time for proper cleaning, polishing and complex maintenance tasks like pearl beads cleaning.
