Resolutions in Action Part 1

1/16/13 Jewelry Tip of the Week

 

Well, the most popular New Year resolutions we have seen are to be healthier, lose weight, and quit bad habits. This translates to the jewelry world in a myriad of ways. 

You can be healthier and lose weight if you walk more often. When out shopping for jewelry for instance, consider not parking in the closest parking spot and taking a stroll from your car to the store. Or better yet, if something is within walking distance, leave the car at home! 

How about “losing weight” in your jewelry box? Now is a good time to get rid of that excess baggage of old or outdated pieces. Consider redesigning old favorites or scrapping your gold for cash.

 As far as the resolution of overcoming bad habits, definitely choose to get rid of bad habits that are damaging to your well- being. Replace the old bad habit with a positive alternative. 



Don’t overlook the correct care of your precious jewelry. A bad habit that needs to be broken is hanging pearls and chains – better to keep them in jewelry rolls. This also helps separate the different metals for optimum protection for your valuables. 





Out with the old and in with the new! Next week there are more resolutions in action!

sterling silver initial necklaces great for stocking gifts. 

 



Corded sliced stone bracelets are an affordable and colorful choice for a stocking – only $35. 

A perfect idea for anyone is a Grand Band money holder. They come in various designs and colored bands for men or women and can be personalized. 

An inexpensive ($8) and useful stocking stuffer is a dazzle stick used to clean gold and diamond jewelry. Or how about a jewelry cloth to polish up your favorite pieces? 




 

Always popular and just the right size for a stocking is a gift card. 



 

Especially for the young, or the young at heart, are the colorful Lego watches in many styles including Star Wars figures.








You have your ideas, so now, stuff those stockings!

Holiday Lights

Light up your style for the Holidays!

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is lit! This year's tree is sparkling with color for the holidays!

Just as you may be decorating your tree and house with Christmas lights, dress yourself up too! From bright holiday colors found in gemstones and gold to jewelry that sparkles, you can deck yourself out as well as your halls! 

Consider the sparkle of diamonds for that special holiday party, such as drop or dangle earrings. The traditional solitaire diamond or gemstone pendant is always an appropriate classic for the occasion. 

For everyday wear or a less expensive alternative, the sparkle of cubic zirconia adds dazzle to any outfit. 

 So turn up the lights on the house and adorn yourself with the brightness of special holiday jewelry and enjoy the season!
