Men everywhere are embracing stylish accents and jewelry to compliment everyday apparel, bringing back the timeless element of polish to their work, casual, and formal wardrobe. With this trend in fashion, there also is possibility of acquiring fine men’s rings that can be handed down to future generations or gifted to beloved family members, which brings up the issue of quality when buying jewelry. There are some really wonderful sites and online retailers that offer quality rings that merit such legacies, yet that won’t break the budget of the wearers buying the pieces.
When shopping online for masculine rings, remember to look for quality metal finishes that will last over time. There is nothing as frustrating as a surface texture that wears and fades with use. Also, if shopping for stones on a limited budget, go with intriguing faceted semi-precious stones which will give buyers more bang for their buck. Rather than imitation precious gems or inferior clarity in high-end rocks, go with a less expensive stone that may be of higher quality or that offers unique details. Most buyers will be more satisfied with this approach, than they will with facsimiles of their desired stones such as diamonds or emeralds.
I am a huge fan of necklaces, especially unique and very cool-looking necklaces or pendants. So, when I received a lovely necklace from Spark of Amber for a review, I was thrilled! I loved this necklace! Spark of Amber sent me The Firefly necklace, which …
I have to admit something. I am a watch-o-holic. I do not know why or when this has happened but it has been occurring over time. I think it started when I used to sell jewelry and I would order one for a sample, then …

Back in early May of this year I finally got engaged to my long-time boyfriend of 8 years. After a short discussion, we set our wedding date for September 6th, 2014. While that may seem a long time off, we know that our special day will be here before we know it.
A few weeks ago my mom shared a photo here on her blog of me trying on my wedding dress. I did decide to go with that dress and now that I have the dress, it’s time to get my bridal jewelry.
While browsing around online I found a fabulous store called WeddingSparkles who sells affordable bridal jewelry that is simply…gorgeous! When you shop at Wedding Sparkles you will find bridal jewelry for men, women, the groom, the bride, bridesmaids and flower girl jewelry too.
The company sent me one of their #1 best sellers to review for all of you. Once I had it in my hands, I knew the necklace and earrings set was perfect for me to wear with my wedding dress!
The Annabelle White Faux Pearl Vintage-Styled Wedding Jewelry Set comes in gold-tone or silver-tone. For the review, I selected the silver-tone and I am really happy with my choice…it looks like white gold! The set comes with the necklace and the pierced earrings which perfectly match one another.
Annabelle is a vintage styled with white faux pearls on a silver-plated 19-1/2 inch chain – adjustable down to 16 inches. The matching earrings are approx. 2 inches long and would be perfect with any length of hair or with up-do’s.
One of the many things I love about this set is that it’s not too over-the-top, not too much bling and it’s very sophisticated & classy in it’s look. While it’s done in a vintage style, it’s very modern looking and works with today’s bride.
It’s absolutely beautiful and none of the photos in this post do it any justice! It’s even prettier in person and when the light hits it…you can see it sparkle & shine. Another reason I love this necklace is that it lays very nicely around the neck. It doesn’t twist all up and stays perfectly in place. Once the wedding is over, I can pair it up with a simple pair of pearl studs and wear it into the office which I think will look nice too!
You can head on over to Wedding Sparkles and take a look around. Even if you are not getting married, their jewelry is beautiful and affordable. You can pick up a few pieces for yourself or do some of your gift-shopping at their store!
