			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jewelery has always been an essential feature of different cultures and civilizations. It has been used as a form of personal adornment, currency or even as a display of wealth. Whatever it&#8217;s purpose, jewelery is one of the oldest forms of shape adornment; recently uncovered beads produced from Nassarius (sea snail) shells are estimated to be 100, 000 years old and are thought to be the oldest example of jewelery. Historically, jewelery has too been worn as religious symbols towards Judaism, Christianity and Islam.</p>
<p>Towards recorded traditions of Islam the Prophet Mohammed permitted woman to wear jewellery for personal adornment however prohibited gold jewelery for men. Furthermore, any kind of depiction of animate objects towards art and jewelery was too prohibited.</p>
<p>Middle Eastern Jewelery during the pre-Islamic era was heavily influenced by the culture and rituals that were prevalent at the time. For example, jewelery designs towards Ancient Egypt was based in the superstitious belief that certain symbols could give the wearer a positive effect. Several standard symbols towards Ancient Egyptian jewellery included the beetle, serpent, falcon, additionally, the eye. The beetle, too known as scarab, was a symbol for good luck. Another symbol, the &#8216;Ankh&#8217; represented eternal life.</p>
<p>Pre-Islamic jewelery was known for its extravagance and intricacy. Whilst Islam abolished the idolatry and superstitious belief systems of the Middle East that inspired such creativity, thankfully it did not eradicate the unique craftsmanship possessed by the jewelery makers; instead, it was re-channeled accordingly that it did not transcend the new Islamic injunctions.</p>
<p>After the advent of Islam the Bedouins were heavily influenced by the arabesque form of decoration and became pioneers of Islamic Jewelery. It is an intertwined and over laced repetitive geometric designs that may be seen during the architecture of a lot of Islamic buildings across the Muslim World, including during the halls, rooms and courtyards of the Alhambra palace towards Spain.</p>
<p>By the end of the 8th Century CE the Islamic Civilization had spread its domain far and wide and now included North Africa, Spain, India and Central Asia. The local jewelery techniques of the Syrians, Egyptians and Persians were assimilated into Arab jewelery-making, thereby further evolving the fashion of Islamic Jewelery.</p>
<p>The earliest Islamic jewelery models alongside arabesque were developed under the era of the Seljuk Turks. This involved the use of silver to recreate Allah&#8217;s name, verses of the Holy Qur&#8217;an or the Shahada (article of faith) on pendants and rings. During the contemporary era these models have not lost their charms. A quick Internet search on Islamic Jewelery will bring up numerous modern items that continue the Seljuk method of crafting jewelery albeit with a contact of contemporary designs.</p>
<p>Several of the Islamic jewelery items are today created towards Turkey. It is interesting to note that Turkish Silver, the metal most commonly used towards Turkish Islamic jewelery, consists of 92. 5% silver and 7. 5% cadmium. This is unlike standard sterling silver which is 92. 5% silver and 7. 5% copper. This variation towards composition makes Turkish Silver lighter and more tarnish resistant.</p>
<p>Silver jewelery is too more recession proof than gold. Due to the rising price of gold additionally, the general economic climate, numerous people today would settle for cheaper silver pendants and rings as opposed to gold. And with this growth towards demand for cheaper, non-gold alternatives, innovative designers are making use of other precious metals such as tungsten silver to produce a new range of inexpensive Islamic jewelery. One such product that has recently hit the market towards Western world is the tungsten Islamic ring which arrives towards numerous variations, for example the Arabesque &#8216;kufic&#8217; fashion ring additionally, the &#8216;ring that has the &#8216;Shahada&#8217; inscribed on it.</p>
<p>The Islamic Jewelery items have managed to find a niche market amongst all types of individuals from the devout to the secular. Even several non-Muslims have shown a great deal of interest due to the fine work and wonderful models that are obtainable. Also there is a growing appeal of Islamic items amongst the younger generation.</p>
<p>Accordingly what may we expect from the Islamic Jewelery market during the future? It seems this industry is willing to challenge the stereotypical impression of Islam. It yearns to provide a creative brand to convey the right Impression during the Islamic &#8216;halal&#8217; product market for numerous as buyers or admirers.</p>
<p>Accordingly may we expect further innovative and enchanting new ranges of items during the Islamic Jewelery market? For that we will should wait and see, however the answer has to be almost certainly &#8216;yes&#8217;.</p>

<p style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvcdrLVQUIs&amp;feature=channel_video_title">Watch Repair</a></p>
<p>The Datejust (Ladies model) has survived and enjoyed several transformations and irritations throughout the many years it has been around, and it has become no less than one of Rolex&#8217;s most wanted watches. Its sleek design, elegantly petite case and classic femininity ascetics have aspired women all over the world to adorn their wrists with this stunning wristwatch. The Rolex ladies Datejust&#8217;s radiance is only matched by its near perfect time keeping abilities. This model could never have garnered such a following by relying on its resplendent looks alone; Rolex ensured that every Rolex Datejust was created with one of the most sophisticated and precise self-winding movements on the market.</p>
</p>
<p>Due to its popularity ever few years Rolex will release a special edition of this watch, these special editions tend to forgo elegant simplicity for an provocative intricacy. And this year is really no different at all! Rolex has released the 2011 Ladies Datejust Special Edition encased for the first time ever in 18ct Everose gold. This bold new edition features a brand new dial design and materiel, creating an extraordinary one of a kind look.</p>
</p>
<p>One of the first new design change that really caught my eye was the 18ct Everose gold case, bezel and bracelet. The Datejust can be typically found in 18ct yellow gold with stainless steel that has a timeless air to it but will not &#8220;pop&#8221; the eye like the Everose gold. This sweet and seductive gold breaths into this watch a true personality of its own; mixing peacefulness and vitality it can be no wonder that the special edition has watch enthusiasts crying out for more.</p>
</p>
<p>The most significant change is the Datejust&#8217;s dial which has been transformed into truly outstanding piece of art. The regular dial was replaced with a Gold dust dream dial which is a mixture of mother-of-pearl and gold dust. The gold dust cast the most stunning iridescent reflections which allow the mother-of-pearl features to shimmer in any and all rays of light that hit it. The dial design has also been updated with an angelic display of gold vines and leaves; the new dial is a complete departure from the customary Rolex models which normally have very stark and simple dials.</p>
</p>
<p>Additionally, it features a bidirectional self-winding movement and a oyster five piece link band. It also features bidirectional self-winding movement and a oyster five piece link band.</p>
</p>
<p>At Raymond Lee Jewelers, we offer luxury Watch Repair, as well as a wide selection of both ladies and mens Datejust Rolex wristwatch models.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One jewelry addition that comes and goes in terms of popularity is charm bracelets. Once again, this unique style of bracelet has become very hot. There are several reasons for the appeal of charm bracelets.</p>
<p>Some of the appeal is attributed to each person&#8217;s memories and milestones in life. Symbols provide an important connection between the events in our lives, providing a sense of continuity. Consider the following points about charm bracelets.</p>
<p>There are tricks that can help you determine authenticity if you are drawn to antique, period, or vintage jewelry. The Tiffany charm bracelet is often forged and it can be difficult to tell the real from the fake. A forged Tiffany&#8217;s charm bracelet will be made from much lighter metals. You would notice that the Tiffany&#8217;s charm bracelet is much heavier if you were to hold a real and a fake one in each hand. You can bare discern the seam where the links of the Tiffany charm bracelet were soldered together. Forgeries don&#8217;t have solders seams anywhere near that quality. </p>
<p>You can find some truly rare treats in the huge vintage charm bracelet niche. But a word of warning for those that are going to shop for authentic vintage bracelets. As with any other vintage jewelry, you need to wary of faux vintage pieces.</p>
<p>Some sellers have made an honest mistake, but there are others who will deliberately try to deceive you. Know that not everything that is marketed as being &#8220;vintage style&#8221; is an authentic vintage charm bracelet. With some serious research, you can learn about the particular indicators that will help you tell the difference.</p>
<p>We&#8217;d recommend choosing an overall theme and sticking with that concept with your bracelet if you&#8217;re new to charm bracelets. Consider the type of materials you want your charms to consist of. Charms are available made from precious metals like gold and silver. Some charms are made from brightly colored enamel. </p>
<p>Charm bracelets give you a way to record some of the most important events of your life, which is part of the fun. In doing this, you can actually create a wonderful heirloom for your family.This information was brought to you by <a href="http://all-about-contact-lenses.com/">http://all-about-contact-lenses.com</a>, your source for all things related on <strong><a title="soft contact lenses" href="http://all-about-contact-lenses.com/">soft contact lenses</a></strong>.</p>

<p style="text-align:center"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgoMekLmU-g">Engagement Ring</a></p>
<p>Nothing is more potentially fun or dangerous than shopping for <a target="_blank" href="http://raymondleejewelers.net">engagement rings</a>! It&#8217;s always a rush for a client to shop for a ring that will potentially change their lives forever. There is certainly no more risky purchase when you stop to consider that there&#8217;s a chance the lady may not &#8220;fall in love&#8221; with the ring. Can you imagine, the feeling that would come with seeing her wince when she first sees the ring. Yikes.</p>
<p>Some good news is that through the years of coaching nervous men through this, we have pretty much developed a little talk that helps, so we would like to go ahead and write it on the web.</p>
<p>When you are shopping for your ring, you are going to need to take your own taste in jewelry out of the equation. Just think of yourself as a courier. You are there, in a manner of speaking, to simply pick up the ring and deliver it to her. Try to forget you&#8217;ll be the one who is proposing, and just play the role of the courier for now. As a &#8220;courier&#8221; of the engagement ring, you&#8217;ll probably find that you know what she wants whether you know it or not&#8230; whether you know it or not~As the &#8220;courier&#8221; for your engagement ring, you have knowledge about what she wants already, after all you have been going out with her for a while&#8230;believe it or not~As a &#8220;courier&#8221; (just hand in there with me for this role playing exercise) of this special ring, you&#8217;ll already have a lot of knowledge about what she wants&#8230;believe it or not}~believe it&#8230; or not}~As a &#8220;courier&#8221; of the engagement ring, you&#8217;ll most likely find that you know what she wants whether you are conscious of this or not&#8230; whether you know it or not~As the &#8220;courier&#8221; for your engagement ring, you have knowledge about what she wants already, after all you have been going out with her for a while&#8230;believe it or not~As a &#8220;courier&#8221; (just hand in there with me for this role playing exercise) of this special ring, you might possibly have a lot of useful knowledge in that head of yours&#8230;whether you believe it or not}~ believe it}. You&#8217;ve seen her wearing jewelry for quite a while probably and you know a lot about what she likes and what she doesn&#8217;t like. So, all you really have to do is just look for the ring that would look good with her jewelry. If you have any doubts in your ability, try this.</p>
<p>Take with you to the store, a photograph of your intended (or a whole pile of pictures) so that a salesperson will be able to see her necklace, rings, ear rings or other jewelry. When you show this to a really savvy jewelry specialist like the kind you meet working in a jewelry store, they are going to be able to match up the ring to her taste with ease.</p>
<p>All the best luck with this magical moment you are preparing for. We hope these tips can in some way help you have a successful day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you prefer a little gla,mour in their lives with the palm of one&#8217;s hands, obtain a few from Swarovski. Hot fix crystals are basically rhinestones that could be attached to fabric with heated glue &#8211; as well as the only limit will be the creativity of the designer.</p>
<p> Hot fix crystals are in fact safer than gluing Swarovski flatbacks, that do not effectively as easily stick to the fabric. Materials employed for this kind of accessory are plastic or glass.</p>
<p> Now, the sort of accent crystal you want actually features a strong adhesive that may be factory applied on their sparkly backs which are flat &#8211; hence the name: Swarovski flatbacks. By using an applicator wand, it properly bonds towards the surface of your material and becomes a permanent fixture. Speak about stand out ensemble and accessories, rhinestones can readily make your shirt, purse or gown look more stylish and expensive than it truly is.</p>
<p> The variety of the crystals is simply dictated from the cut and shape of used. For instance, you will find the cuts like rose, cabochon, drop and baguette Swarovski flat back and more. Besides size and shape, gleam wide choice of colors of hot fix crystals. Clear rhinestones that resemble a diamante include the most favorite color of this sparkler. Original gem-like colors also include transparent peridot or lime green, blue, red, green or yellow. Paler ones are just lighter variations in the original colors of hot fix crystals.</p>
<p> The wonder and colour of the Swarovski flatbacks crystals is dependent on the light that strikes then. The prismatic effect of these stones makes them very unique.

Pearl and opal designer jewelry is beautiful as well as very delicate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of us love to play with our appearance by hanging jewelry off of our ears in the interest of beauty and individuality. The history of ear adornment dates back thousands of years and includes a wide range of civilizations.  Warriors wore plugs to greatly enhance their fierceness and women wore gold hoops to boost their desirability. Sailors used earrings to signify that they survived a ship wreck and many people simply wore the earrings simply because they liked the way it looked.</p>
<p> Like a Christmas tree together with its ornaments, our ears require something to greatly enhance their desirable characteristics. Bone, plastic, wood and precious stones can be hung off the ear or pierced through the actual cartilage of our outer ear. If a person doesn&#8217;t want a piercing but enjoys the look of the studs or plugs then they may take a look at fake ear piercing.  Absolutely no need to worry about how you can cover up for work because when done with them simply take off the glued-on stud or plug.</p>
<p> Outlining the ear can create a nice fashion statement. One particular system of piercing encircles the outside of the ear with multiple hoops, loops and studs. This type of piercing produces a lacy metallic border effect that compliments the contour of one&#8217;s ear. A number of people will insert very small size pearls that go up the ear lobe and contour the cartilage lining the basic ear. This choice of piercing produces a stylish statement of fashion.</p>
<p> Clip-on earrings are generally clipped to the ear with screws or clips without putting holes in the skin. Ear cuffs are generally a genuinely easy way to outline the ear without the need of really piercing the ear. One particular such cuff has recently been witnessed in the design of a long, very small lizard that draped itself around the upper tip of the ear and curled around the edge of the lobe. The lizard looked so real that the person wearing them had men and women asking how she could wear this kind of creature on her ear.</p>
<p> There are as many styles of earrings as there are actually people who wish to wear them. The large hoops from the hippie times, which made excellent kitten and baby toys, can still be discovered hanging around as a style statement. Current day industrial style piercing dangles a bar through the upper cartridge of the outer ear.</p>
<p> Not surprisingly there are even now the clip-on types from the past that are easy to use and do not call for any piercings. You are able to cover your ears in piercings or simply have an individual pair of earrings dangling from your ears; whichever you decide on, you may make any fashion statement.</p>
<p>Looking for great <a target="_blank" href="http://www.insassyjewelry.com/earrings/pearl-earrings.html">pearl earrings</a> to give to that special person? Be sure to visit my site to find <a target="_blank" href="http://www.insassyjewelry.com/earrings.html">cubic zirconia earrings</a> and a wide variety of other elegant jewelry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The majority of men choose to wear a wedding ring throughout their marriage, and oddly, this is the only piece of jewelry that most men own at all. Understanding this can give you a clue as to just how important the man’s wedding ring is, and why it’s so very important to shop around until you find just the right one. Simply put, a wedding ring has to stand the test of time, and to make sure it does, you need to pay close attention to quality as well as style when picking out a ring. The following information is designed as a helpful tool to help ease this process for you.</p>
<p>The design of your ring is perhaps the most important decision you will make when it comes to buying a men’s wedding ring. With literally thousands of styles to choose from, the possibilities are endless, but keep in mind that your wedding ring is a “long-term” piece of jewelry—something you will wear for many, many years. Even though you think you may prefer a more modern looking ring today, this might not be the case 20-30 years down the road. Once you decide on a style—traditional versus modern—the rest is pretty easy.</p>
<p>We all know that gold is the traditional wedding metal, but surprisingly, these rings can be made using several other materials as well. Platinum rings for example, although a bit higher in price than traditional gold, feature a gleaming white surface that will really stand out each time you wear it. Titanium is a strong and durable metal and is much lighter than rings of other material. Even if you opt to go with gold there are many subtle color decisions to be made. Once you have the style, design and metal you’re looking for, you’re now ready to hit the stores and go shopping.</p>
<p>Nothing is more nerve-wracking than having to shop on a deadline. Whatever you do don’t wait until the last minute to shop for a ring. You need to allow a bit of time just in case you have difficulty finding the perfect ring—or in many cases, a ring in your size. Allowing yourself at least two months to shop for your wedding ring will give you more than adequate time in the event your ring has to be special ordered.</p>
<p>So let’s review. There are a number of decisions which will invariably have to be made prior to purchasing a men’s wedding ring. First, you’ll need to decide on the design or style of your ring—traditional versus modern—and the precious metal it will be made of. Next, you’ll need to allow yourself an adequate amount of time to shop for your ring so you don’t run the risk of delays. Following these tips can help finding and purchasing a men’s wedding ring a snap.</p>
