An absolute essential, find out how these tiny objects contribute in making your favorite pair look so pretty.

Ask any woman what her favorite variety of jewelry is and the unanimous reply you will get to hear is the same word, earrings. Yes it is true that no matter how many different varieties exist, she will always have a special affinity for these and even if she misses out on any other element of her dressing it is unlikely that she will ever leave the house without her favorite pair on.

You really can’t blame her for a pair of these pretty baubles can make anyone look lovely by adding just the right amount of color and glow. Besides the wide range of styles and designs offer so much in terms of variety and beauty that you simply cannot resist them and crave for more. A lot goes into making a pair look beautiful and of course in getting your attention and appreciation as well.

Apart from the design, metal, stones and setting the findings are a very vital segment that we most often miss not realizing that without these our favorite pairs would never be complete. The findings are always part of a pair whether attached or added later at the time of wearing but each of them manage to play a crucial role in holding the pair together and assuring their safety.

One such example is the fish hook that is also known as shepherd hook which is nothing but a metal loop with a tiny provision made at the bottom for the actual part to be put in. These are mostly used in danglers and drops and lend the right amount of length and twirl to your favorite pairs.

The ear post is yet another integral part that is a must for studs. Here a straight metal stem is open on one end and has the design on the other. This is mostly worn with a push mostly known as ear nut that holds the pair to the earlobe and doesn’t allow it to fall off.

Lever backs are an indispensable part of most pairs where due to the technique you simply snap the pair to your lobes and be assured that they won’t fall off. Some of them even come in very fancy designs that you are sure to love.

Clip on is something that deserves mention as it has a look that is simple and therefore attractive, for all you need to do is press it to your lobes. These are also perfect if you don’t have piercings and still love to wear your favorite pair. They are also perfect for little girls and babies but you need to ensure that they don’t playfully misplace them with a little tug.

Half ball and ball posts, ear threads and hoop earring parts are other components that happen to be equally important in shaping the perfect pair and ensuring its safety. So now you know how important these tiny metal objects are and what an important role they play in any given pair.

The wonderful colorful gemstones are very intriguing. There are many different and interesting tales about them too. The fascination for the gemstone is not a new phenomenon. It started way back almost with the start of human civilization. Now with time, these gemstones are getting even rarer and also very expensive. This article will help you in knowing your gems better.

We will start with some popular beliefs that our ancestors had about these gems.

The blue colored gem, sapphire was believed to produce heavenly visions, while the red rubies were seen as a stone celebrating the beauty and passion of life. According to historical account in the Roman era rings studded colored gems were viewed as the prized symbol of power. It is said that in those times the most powerful leaders used to wear rings on every joint of each finger!

Besides the trend of wearing rings as a sign of power there were also some innate magical powers associated with these colored stones. It was thought that these gemstones can bestow certain attributes to the wearer.

There were some interesting powers associated with different colored stones like emeralds were believed to improve the vision, yellow stones were used to cure jaundice, red gems were thought to stop blood flow from the wound. With time it was believed that gems have a different effect on man and woman. So, if a man wears ruby he will possess qualities like nobility, command, leadership and vengeance while when worn by a woman, ruby may bring to light her beauty along with a hint of pride and obstinacy.

In case of blue sapphire if worn by a man it indicates wisdom but in case of woman it symbolizes politeness and care. The green gem emerald is signifies joyousness and hope for men but for woman, it symbolizes change.

That was about the lores of these gems. But when you plan to buy a gemstone you should know that besides the natural stones market also has an option for lab created or imitation stones. But before you plan to buy any of these you have to understand the difference between these three. We all know that the natural stones are mined, the lab created gemstones as the name suggest are created in the laboratory. Usually they display the same physical and chemical properties but they will not display the characteristic inclusions of the natural gemstones. Lab-created stones are relatively less expensive than the natural gems. Imitation gemstones on the other had only shared the same appearance as the natural gemstones but otherwise they are only a piece of inexpensive glass, plastic or cheap stone.

Always remember the unit for weighing gemstone is the carat this equals to one-fifth of a gram. Carats are further divided into units known as points. For measuring the gemstones the common unit is millimeters. We hope that equipped with these details you will have a better shopping experience.
