THIS IS HOW TO OWN JEWELRY DURING A RECESSION
The going can be incredibly hard during a recession. Unemployment spreads far and deep, crime runs rampant, there is little hope in sight and everything seems utterly depressing!
Following some tested strategies, you might, however, be able to catch the silver lining! It is no secret that people usually resort to selling their possessions to make ends meet during times of economic crisis and with the right planning, you might actually be able to lend a helping hand while also ensuring your own safety and peace of mind.
Here is Irit Zeevi with some very sought-after tips! Have a look
- Buy pewter – Pewter has become very popular and is a fast growing niche in fashionable jewelry. A combination of tin, copper and antimony, pewter affords buyers the look of silver jewelry while costing considerably less than both silver and gold. In many cases, pewter jewelry is lead free, which also means its tarnish free. Cross pendants as well as other stylish men’s jewelry are now available in pewter. Buying jewelry made from pewter makes both money and fashion sense.
- Versatility – Whether you are buying jewelry simple because of its beauty or using it to create style, choosing jewelry that is versatile in purpose is a win-win situation. Consider buying pieces that match the majority of your outfits. For example, men’s leather necklaces and bracelets are suitable for creating a casual and sophisticated style and are equally the perfect addition to a dressier look.
- Affordability – Buy only jewelry that you can afford! A recession is a time of financial stress. It is an awakening of sorts when consumers are forced to choose between what they need and what they want. While you may prefer the Tiffany & Co. styles, at the time, it may or may not be financially feasible. Instead, search for an alternative piece of jewelry that looks the same but cost significantly less. If you only have eyes for expensive jewelry, sales and promotional events are great times to buy jewelry at a fraction of the cost.
- Choose quality over quantity – No longer does quality mean higher prices. Over the years, the quality of fashionable jewelry has increased making jewelry ownership more affordable and accessible. A financial wise decision would be a leather necklace that is suitable in creating many styles over a handful of multicolored necklaces that are limited in both style and versatility.
- Estate sales – Estate sales are wonderful venues for finding rare pieces of jewelry. Vintage as well as other unique styles make up the majority of jewelry pieces found in estates sales. The classified section of your local newspaper is a great resource for finding estate sales in your area.
- Pendants – Pendants, pendants, pendants! Oh, my! In the world of jewelry fashion, pendants are hot ticket items. Why? Not only are they highly affordable, pendants are versatile as well. Popular with both men and women, pendants are available in a wide range of styles and metals. Owning a handful of different styled pendants gives you the opportunity to create several different looks. Popular men’s pendants include the Celtic cross pendant as well as other statement pendants. As an alternative to expensive diamond cross pendants, women have created a niche for Swarovski crystal pendants.
- Budget your time and money – We have all heard the idiom time is money. Your time is extremely valuable and before you buy jewelry, it is best first to decide on a budget. Do not spend countless hours looking at jewelry you cannot afford. Consider this important question: What’s the absolute highest price you’re willing to spend on a particular piece of jewelry? After you have made your decision, do your best to avoid the temptation of buying outside of your price range. Stick to your budget and only look at jewelry choices within your price limit.
- Be resourceful – When life gives you lemons, it is time to get creative. While having less money may temporarily curb your appetite for buying expensive jewelry, it does not mean you have to stop buying jewelry all together. Consider borrowing jewelry from family and friends. Since everyone’s taste in jewelry differs, you are sure to have endless opportunities when considering the jewelry of others.

SILVER HOOP EARRINGS AND WHY YOUNG GIRLS SHOULD WEAR THEM
Hoop earrings! Ah, well, shall we take a glimpse at their history? Hoop earrings originated substantively among different ancient cultures – there was just something bout wearing big round metal ornaments that appealed to all civilizations. Concurrently, the hoop earrings made quite a ripple in the fashion industry in the ‘70s when they resurfaced as oversized hoop earrings that not only impacted the culture of that era but also set in course the elements that would form today’s fashion culture.
Needless to say, hoop earrings have had one of the biggest impact on our fashion senses in ancient and recent times.
Caitriona Lui thinks that, of all jewelry items, young girls should be encouraged to wear silver hoop earrings. Here is why
There are various earring designs on the market today that one can purchase for a young girl. Silver hoop earrings have over the years become some of the most popular and widely worn. This is due to the fact that there are various benefits that a girl can derive from wearing such. If you are wondering what these benefits are, then move on and learn the reasons why a young girl should wear them.
The primary reason why it would be nice for a young girl to wear these rings is the fact that they are simply lovely. It does not take a jewelry specialist to notice that they are effective in bringing the best out of them. This enables look great at all times, with that perfect pair of silver hoop earrings dangling from her ears.
Some people might be concerned that these earrings may be too heavy for the tender ears of a young girl. Contrary to this belief, they exert close to no weight on the earlobes. This is due to the fact that they are made using light materials that ensure that their weight is kept to a minimum. The wearer, therefore, does not feel uncomfortable or weighed down in any way.
It is also a known fact that these earrings are some of the most varied in terms of designs and structure. It, therefore, means that one has a wide array of options to choose from. You do not have to feel limited by the same kinds of designs as there is always something new that you can choose from to go with whatever clothing they are wearing. The rich variety means that in many ways, you are spoilt for choice. Furthermore, they come in a rich variety of shapes and colors that makes it possible for one to get something appropriate regardless of their tastes or preferences.
One thing that makes such earrings very convenient for young girls is because they are available in forms that can be worn by those whose ears are pierced and also those ones whose ears have not been pierced yet. Therefore, one of the least concerns that you should have is whether to have their lobes pierced or not. You can be able to get your hands on one that can be held on the ears by a simple mechanism yet offering the same lovely effect.
Another thing that makes these types of jewelry very popular is the fact that they can be worn both by girls whose hair is short as well as those who have longer hairs. This is due to the fact that they can be able to style their hairs in such a manner that would leave the pieces of jewelry dangling and exposed at all times. In addition to this, they can be worn by any type of clothing regardless of whether they are casual or formal. This makes them the perfect choice for any ensemble.
Apart from being extremely stylish, hoop earrings are simple, well-balanced and look good on any face shape. Buy high quality earrings at the most accessible prices at Wyatt Austin Jewelers.

PERSONALIZED JEWELRY: ENGRAVINGS
Personalized jewelry is not only more intimate but tends to increase in value with time. Unique, personal and inexhaustible, engravings add a touch of reality and intimacy to any item of jewelry. No matter what your jewelry item of choice, engraving it with words that are personal and speak to you will only increase its appeal and value.
To support this argument, here is a beautifully concise piece from Eiseman Jewels.
Add a Personal Touch with Engraved Jewelry
Giving the gift of fine jewelry is always a good way to let someone know how much you care. But if you’re looking to go above and beyond for that special someone, consider having a personalized message engraved on a pendant, watch or ring. A sweet note of love, appreciation or friendship is just the thing to take a piece of jewelry from lovely to extraordinary.
Read on to learn a few ways you can leave your mark on a special piece of jewelry.
Wedding Bands
Adding a special engraved message is the perfect way to add that touch of romance and personality to your wedding bands. You might choose to engrave your wedding date, the coordinates of your wedding venue or a certain sentiment that means a lot to you both — the options are only limited by your imagination. Some couples take things a step further and use jewels as spacers between the month, day and year of their engraved date.
If you’re no longer newlyweds but are instead celebrating an upcoming wedding anniversary, you can choose to have your wedding bands engraved in honor of the many happy years you’ve spent together. Engraving your wedding bands is a romantic gesture and a lasting expression of love between you and your spouse. Engraved rings are likely to become family heirlooms that will be passed down from generation to generation.
Watches
Engraved watches are timeless gifts for marking a special occasion for grooms, groomsmen, graduates and fathers alike. A beautiful watch is a fashionable yet practical gift that a man will use throughout his entire life, and adding an engraved sentiment will transform that timepiece into something that’s uniquely him. It will remind him of that certain milestone — whether it be a birthday, anniversary, promotion or holiday — and that special someone who was there to share it with him.
Pendants
Once you’ve found a special piece of jewelry for a special person, turn it into a one-of-a-kind gift with an engraved message. Personalized pendants make thoughtful, meaningful gifts that will be cherished for years to come. Give an engraved pendant necklace for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries or even “just because.”
Jennie Ma from The Knot shares some brilliant tips and ideas for jewelry engravings from how and when to get your rings engraved to ideas about what you could and should have a jeweler engrave on your favorite jewelry pieces including popular inscription ideas from France and China! Have a look
How to Do It
Make the request to get your ring engraved by your jeweler when you order the ring. If the jeweler can’t do it, he should be able to refer you to an engraver. Be sure to double-check the spelling of the requested inscription before you pass it on to the engraver, and check it again when you receive it.
When to Do It
Engraving can be done as quickly as while you wait, or it can take up to one month. Ask your jeweler how long yours will take and plan ahead.
Unique Ideas
If you can’t edit your sentiment down to a mere few words or want to use a stanza from a poem or song, consider engraving your message around the rim of the stone itself. The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) can laser-inscribe a microscopic message or even a graphic. The inscription is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen with a magnifying glass, so it can be a romantic secret between the two of you. Inscribing a message on your diamond also serves as a foolproof “birthmark” should the stone ever be lost or stolen.
What It Costs
The cost is usually based on the number of characters in the inscription, the font used, and whether it will be engraved by hand or machine. Machine engraving tends to be cheaper, on average $25 for 15 characters, while hand-engraving is usually pricier, at $75 for 8 characters, but adds a special hand-forged feel. The price of the inscription on the actual diamond varies depending on the carat weight of the diamond, but prices start at $15 for graphics or 15 characters.
