These sensational Tacori pendants are going to be perfect for celebrating those major milestones in life, including the birth of children, anniversaries and birthdays.

These exquisite pendants will be ideal for the woman who already has a Tacori ring and would like to accessorize. These Tacori pendants range in styles and designs from traditional elegance and simplicity through to highly intricate designs that would be appropriate for a formal event. Many of these pendants would stay around your neck forever.

All Tacori pendants are displayed in their catalogs in 18K white gold. However, many of the pendants can be customized in platinum or colored 18K gold. Some diamond pendants have been created along the same concept of the Tacori rings, where once you have found a design you fancy, then you select a diamond individually to be set in the central position.
Customized Tacori heirloom pendants are all handmade. Depending on your particular requirements and specifications, delivery time can vary from immediately available to four weeks.
For anyone seeking an heirloom diamond pendant, the Tacori "Birth of your Child" is the ultimate. This is an engraved circle diamond pendant with 12 carved crescents cut out of the circle, and each crescent represents a calendar month. When your child is born, a diamond is set into the crescent marking that particular month. These pendants can have additional diamonds added for each child. These heirloom pendants would be ideal for any woman who is looking for a significant gift to celebrate the birth of her child. This Tacori pendant would be a fantastic gift for any new mother who already possess an eternity ring (which is often presented upon the birth of the first child).

Tacori have also released a diamond monogram initial pendant. These are not your standard letter set with a few pave diamonds, but a highly intricate square setting with involved engraving. The Tacori crescent silhouettes setting is in evidence, along with their famous engraving. At first sight, these fabulous pendants look like an Art Deco diamond pendant. It is only when you take a close look that you realize that there is a letter of the alphabet cleverly worked and set with pave diamonds in the center of the pendant. These pendants will become firm favorites with mothers and daughters, the subtlety of the initials allowing them to be worn by others who do not share the same initial.

This diamond pendant is a round pendant set with pave diamonds and featuring a large solitaire diamond in the center. This diamond pendant also has matching diamond stud earrings for the complete Tacori set. This pendant features Tacori engraving and the carved crescent silhouette setting.

This is a custom made piece of jewelry and will generally take a few weeks for your order to be completed.

Pandora Bracelet Charms

By Dan L'Heureux
Most women (and even some men) have a weakness for jewelry. They like being given jewelry as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. Or they don't need a special occasion at all, but just like to be surprised with a sudden gift. A great idea for a gift is a Pandora bracelet. These incredible items are customizable and it is fun to collect charms to add to the bracelet. Having a variety of charms adds to the aesthetic appeal of charm bracelets. Pandora is a chain of jewelry stores that sell a nice variety of bracelet charms. Pandora bracelet charms make a great gift for anyone who loves jewelry.
Pandora bracelet charms are available in a plethora of colors, shapes and materials. There are gold, silver, glass, wood, and enamel charms. They are also available with or without a stone. The gold charms tend to be more costly, but are much worth the price. The gold charms are all 14 karat gold, and come in different varieties and designs. Some of the gold charms have a charm, and some are mixed with silver. One example of such is the flower basket charm, which is made primarily out of silver but has a 14 karat gold bow. Another beautiful gold and silver charm is the gold and silver dragonfly charm with golden dragonflies. The touch of gold amongst the silver makes for a great contrast.

Pandora bracelet charms also have some creative designs. As mentioned above, there are the flower basket and dragonfly charms. Other fun designs include the solid gold Queen Bee, the cute Teddy Bear, the endearing Angel of Hope, and the 14 karat gold Girl and Boy. These charms have both a novelty effect, and a sleek elegance. The cute shapes make them fun to wear but their composition of solid gold adds the extra sophistication to these charms.

Aside from gold and silver, Pandora bracelet charms are also set with stone. Of course, there is the classic Zirconia. Charms include blue Zirconia, Salmon Zirconia and Cubic Zirconia. There is also no shortage of diamonds amongst Pandora bracelet charms. Quite a few of the designs are set with diamonds. One charm that stands out from the rest is the Dice Charm, in which the black dots on the charm are replaced with diamonds. No matter what number is rolled on these dice, there is always a winner. Another endearing charm is the heart diamond, on which a diamond is placed in the middle. There would be no better way of showing love to someone than this charm.

The prices on this jewelry can range from the less costly at $75 to the more expensive at $750. No matter the price, the charms are just as high quality as the next. Jewelry need not be expensive to have a great sentimental worth. With all of the different designs, everyone is bound to find one that is perfect for themselves, or a special person in their lives.

The reason we developed this website was to help anyone who is interested in purchasing Pandora Bracelet Charms to give away as gifts to special people in their life.

Charm Bracelets Make the Perfect Gifts


Perfectcharm Number 21 Charm (Bold Face Design) - 9Ct White Gold





By Charles P Thompson
If you are looking for a unique gift that a girl can cherish for the rest of their life, you need to look no further than a charm bracelet. It is one of those classic pieces of jewelry that goes beautifully with just about anything. Even if the girl is not prone to wearing jewelry on a regular basis, she will appreciate what it symbolizes and keep it with her in her heart wherever she goes. The personalization is where you find the true value in a charm bracelet. Each piece is carefully selected to represent a characteristic, quality, or event for the wearer.

Charm bracelets used to be something that nearly every girl had. They would gather more and more charms throughout their life, and then pass it down to their daughters as a keepsake of their life. It has become less of a tradition these days, but it holds no less value. This is a great gift idea for a girl's 16th birthday party, a graduation present, or even a wedding present. Just make sure that you choose a bracelet that will last throughout the years. You don't want it to start losing charms or rusting them.
If you are going to start the girl's charm bracelet, you should find a charm or two that symbolizes who she is and then one to symbolize the day she is receiving it. For example, if you are giving it as a graduation present, find a charm of a cap or diploma. But then also include a charm that represents her as a person, such as a paintbrush for her love of art or one that symbolizes your relationship to her such as "sister" or "daughter. " That way you are also representing your love for her when you present her with the gift.

Imagine the story that bracelet will be able to tell after several years or decades. As other people get word that she is creating a charm bracelet, they may start adding to it as well. Her bracelet will tell the story of graduating, exotic vacations, getting married, her children, her hobbies, and much, much more.


While other pieces of jewelry may be beautiful and meaningful, nothing will ever surpass the Rhodium Plated Charms  that tell the story of her life in the way she wants to create it. Not only will she always remember you as the one who started it, she can also add all the people she loves to it as they give her charms as gifts as well.

The author has spent a lot of time learning about charms and other jewelry related topics.

Elegant affairs call for elegant jewelry. After all, those types of social occasions require dressing to the nines, don't they? So it's important to choose just the right jewelry - pieces that will give off spectacular sparks as well as the right impression.

At a formal sit-down dinner, start with the hands. After all, you'll be close to people, so they will notice your fingers all the more. The Sterling Silver 1.50 Carat Green & White Diamond Leaf Ring is an excellent choice for this type of affair. Polished sterling silver in a double leaf design is a classic look. Outlined with round cut heat-treated green diamonds, the leaves are filled with white diamonds. The way this ring is designed, it will give off sparks that can be seen, no matter where your dinner companions are sitting.

A formal dance is also a wonderful occasion to show off a spectacular ring. The 14 Karat Gold 1.00 Carat Green & Blue Diamond Three-Stone Look Ring is a ring that will complement a colorful gown or one in basic black. Three circles form the design of this beautiful ring. Round cut irradiated blue diamonds form the center of each circle, and are surrounded by elegant green diamonds. The settings are plated in black rhodium to give them depth, while the yellow gold shines with subtle elegance.

Adorn your wrist with diamonds for a dinner party. Choose the Sterling Silver / Black Rhodium Plated 7.5 Inch 3.00 Carat Black Diamond Bracelet for understated elegance. Polished rhodium and black rhodium plated sterling silver give this bracelet its presence, while 40 round full cut black diamonds add the sparkle. The total diamond weight is approximately 3.00 carats, making this a truly valuable piece of jewelry. The bracelet secures with a slide insert clasp to keep it securely on your wrist all night long.

Another lovely bracelet for an elegant affair is the Sterling Silver 8 Inch Removable Diamond Wing Charm Bracelet. The bracelet itself is sterling silver that is plated with polished rhodium. A lovely wing-shaped charm dangles from the links, its twenty-six round single cut diamonds glittering brilliantly. A simple lobster clasp secures the wing to the bracelet, and is easily removed. Another lobster clasp secures the bracelet to your wrist, where it is sure to catch admiring glances.
Other charms are also available to dangle from your bracelet.

 Consider the 14 Karat White or Yellow Gold Diamond Star Charm with twenty round single cut white diamonds. The 14 Karat White, Rose or Yellow Gold Diamond Fleur-de-Lis Key Pendant is another great choice, with its twenty-two round single cut white diamonds. Or perhaps you want to show your playful side with the 14 Karat White or Yellow Gold Diamond Martini Glass Charm. Eighteen round single cut white diamonds in prong settings sparkle on this fun charm.

Don't forget your neck. The most elegant choice for a formal affair is a solitaire, and the Platinum 1.00 Carat Diamond Solitaire Pendant with Chain is one of the finest examples. Polished platinum makes up the eighteen inch chain and surrounds the single round full cut diamond. Sitting securely in a prong setting that is also rhodium plated, this is a simple but beautiful necklace that will give you just the right amount of glitter on that special night.

Another necklace that is sure to charm onlookers is the Sterling Silver 24 Inch 1.00 Carat Diamond Station Necklace. Rhodium plating over sterling silver gives this necklace its sheen, while 228 round cut diamonds in prong settings give it glitter. A lobster clasp keeps this beauty securely in place whether you are dining, dancing or simply socializing with friends. The necklace is approximately 24 inches long, so it will accentuate many types of gowns.

Don't forget your ears. The 14 Karat White Gold Quality 8-8.5mm Akoya Cultured Pearl Drop Earrings feature a pair of round cultured pearls that are quality. But diamonds accent these lovely pearls as well. They are of high quality at a total of 0.25 carats, giving this lovely pair just enough sparkle.

The 14 Karat White Gold 1.00 Carat Diamond Hoop Earrings are a truly stand-out pair for any elegant affair. The white gold is studded with eighty-six round cut diamonds in prong settings. A hinged snap backing keeps these earrings in place. You'll love wearing this elegant pair, no matter what type of affair you're attending.
Wear your heart where people can see it when you go out for that special evening event. The Sterling Silver/Yellow Rhodium Diamond Heart Pendant with Chain will do the trick. Polished and textured sterling silver combines with yellow rhodium plated accents to create a striking pendant and chain. The pendant is heart-shaped, and it and the bail beam are filled with 88 single round cut diamonds, each in a pave setting. The rolo style chain features other bail beams in silver and yellow every few inches of the total 36 inches. Whatever the affair, elegance calls for diamonds. Choose your favorites today!

Pandora Style Charm Bracelet System

"Family" Spacer - Silver Plated Charm Bead - fits Pandora, Chamilia etc style Bracelets - SpangleBead 

Pandora Style Charm Bracelet System

By Joan Ellerby

Charm bracelets have been fashionable and worn throughout the ages.
Shells, animal-bones and clay were used to make jewellery charms by prehistoric man and as early as 75,000 years ago, there is evidence from Africa that shells were used for adornment.

 Even Queen Victoria wore charm bracelets that started a fashion among the European noble classes!

The Pandora style charm bracelet system, which originated in the Norrebrogade area of Copenhagen in 1982, is a brilliant and modern version of a charm bracelet.

Instead of hanging the charms and beads, they are drilled with a central hole and screw or slide onto a snake-chain bracelet. They are also interchangeable to allow wearers to create their own look.


The metal bracelet is divided into 3 or 4 segments, and fastens together with a bead shaped box clasp which closes seamlessly over the ends of the chain, and looks just like any other bead on your bracelet.

There are special beads called stopper clips which may be used to conceal the additional raised sections on the chain. They clip onto the raised sections and fasten similarly to the box clasp.
A Safety Chain may also be used for added security.

There are numerous other types of clasps used for the Pandora style bracelet which include a lobster claw clasp or toggle clasp.

The charms can be made from various types of metal, ranging from alloy to sterling silver; silver plated to gold plated, and come in many different shapes, such as prams, animals, teapots, four-leaf clovers and many more. There are charms called spacers which are usually plainer and can have embedded stones, and/or enamel colours.

The glass beads have a single or double central core which measure approximately 4cm - 5cm. They can be made from alloy, sterling silver, silver plated or gold plated. They come in a wide variety of styles, including but not limited to ceramic, faceted, cats eye, silver and/or gold foil, Rondell, Murano glass rhinestone, metal and dangle charms.

The Pandora style bracelet system is a great gift idea for friends or loved ones. They can expand on their collection, buying additional charms and beads to create their own combinations, or in memory of special times and occasions in their lives.

Joan lives in Queensland, Australia and operates a small jewellery business specialising in Pandora style beads, charms, bracelets, lariats and watch-bracelets.

Described as having a passion for beautiful jewellery in particularly Pandora Chamilia Biagi Troll European styles, Alphabet & Number Charms and like to make it available at a reasonable price.

Personalized Name Bracelets - Make Your Own Mother's Day Gift


Personalized Name Bracelets - Make Your Own Mother's Day Gift



By Kathy Hickok


Handcrafted, personalized name bracelets become cherished gifts for mothers, grandmothers and more, especially when you create it yourself. With sterling silver alphabet beads and a few other key ingredients, you can make your own mother's bracelet, deployment bracelet, awareness bracelet, or just about any other theme you can imagine. 

Visit your local bead store or hobby shop or look online for the supplies you will need. With these simple instructions, your creation will be a great gift for Mother's Day or any other occasion.

What you need before you start:
1. Flat Beading Pliers (needle nose pliers will also work with care)
2. Wire Cutters


3. Stringing Wire (I prefer Beadalon® Bead Stringing Wire, Nylon Coated Stainless 
Steel, .46mm, Black)


4. Two (2) Wire Guardians (not required, but good for longevity of the bracelet)
5. Two (2) Crimp Beads
6. Lobster Clasp or Toggle Clasp
7. 4mm Jump Rings
8. Alphabet Beads to spell out the name


9. Other beads to match your theme, birthstone color, etc. Swarovski crystal beads and small round silver beads are great additions.

STEPS:


1. Measure a bracelet you (or your gift recipient) already own to get the right size, or use a piece of string around the wrist to mark and measure. Make sure that it is a little loose. Cut a length of stringing wire that is the desired bracelet length plus at least 2" extra. (If you want a finished bracelet that is 8", you'll need to start with a 10" piece of wire.)

2. The next task is to make a loop. String a crimp bead on the piece of cut wire. Slide the wire through the wire guardian. Take the end of the wire as it comes out of the guardian and slip it though the crimp bead as well. Pull to tighten so that the crimp bead is tight against the wire guardian, and you don't have excess wire hanging out of the crimp bead. Use the beading pliers to squeeze the crimp bead closed.

3. Begin stringing your beads. Try alternating colors or using round spacer beads in between the alphabet beads. It's also a good idea to plan out and lay out what beads you want to use before you start. That way you'll know exactly how many beads you need to end up with a symmetrical bracelet.

4. Once you're happy with the design, place the second crimp bead after your last decorative bead (you should have approximately 2" of wire left) and then slide the second wire guardian on just like before. Carefully take up the slack, being sure not to pull the wire too tight, so the bracelet can move and bend, but also not so loose that you see the wire between the beads. Now squeeze the crimp bead closed and then trim any excess wire away.



5. Now you can attach the lobster clasp or toggle clasp to the right side of the bracelet using jump rings. You can also attach a 1" extender chain on the left side to allow the wearer to adjust the bracelet for comfort. (This is especially a good idea if you think the bracelet might end up being too small.) Attach a charm or two to the extender chain with jump rings to add even more of a personal touch.



You're done! You've just made a name bracelet for your mother, a mommy to be, or even just for fun. All it takes are some alphabet beads, silver wire, colored beads, some patience and a few more supplies to make a great Mother's Day gift.


Men's Jewellery making and beading are hobbies for just about everyone to enjoy. Charm Factory supplies sterling silver charms, charm bracelets, silver beads, alphabet beads and more to make your own bracelet, necklace or cell phone charm to give as a gift or as a treat for yourself.

Brown-Haired Penelope Cruz and Her Fashion



By Priyanka Arora

We all know how classy and beautiful long flowing brunette hair is. You can put it up in a bun to go for an elegant and sophisticated look, or you can pull it back by a ponytail if you?re going for a playful mood, or maybe make a braid if you want a casual elegance to your style.

One celebrity with beautiful long brown hair would be Penelope Cruz. Many say that Penelope Cruz is flawless on the red carpet. And thoug her everyday fashion can be classified as classic euro-chic. the looks she creates on the red carpet has always been of high glamour. She has been dressed by the best designers in the industry like Ralph Lauren, Oscar dela Renta, Chanel and John Galliano.

With her beautiful brown hair, she has always been seen with a unique flair for the dramatic. Her gowns were usually floor-length, solidly colored and strapless or with a plunging neckline.

Of course, brunettes have to remember to look very professional during work days and job interviews, so I suggest a feminine shirt layered with your favorite tailored suit. If you are wearing your hair on top of your head in a bun, add a girly touch like pale pink camisole with lace, so as not to look like a gaudy librarian.

During casual days, wear a skirt and a silk shirt, or even some dress pants that are of matching colors. You can wear your hair in a braid, which makes you look sophisticated, yet fun and still a hint of gentle softness.

On a night out with your girlfriends, you can tie your hair up in a fancy do, or just a ponytail and wear a short skirt with a cute tank top. If you want to wear a more daring top, then pair it with a comfortable pair of jeans.

Never forget about accessories. Because they can make or break one?s outfit. Because you are a brunette,Jewellery,silver and gold colors are your best bet.

Hearts Jewellery - Top Trends and Fashions

Hearts Jewellery - Top Trends and Fashions

Hearts are probably the most popular motifs in jewellery, whether it's fashion or high-end jewellery. The heart symbol, universally recognised as conveying love and emotion, has been used in jewellery for literally hundreds of years.

Whether you're looking for new and exciting heart necklaces, or wondering what the top fashion jewellery trends are going to be over the coming year, this quick 8-point guide tells you what you should be looking out for if you're buying, designing or making jewellery involving heart symbols.

1) Hearts jewellery is not just for Valentine's. Yes, it's a bestseller at Valentine's, but it continues to be given as gifts to sweethearts throughout the year - for birthdays, Christmas or just because...

2) Are you thinking that maybe Hearts are maybe just a little bit 'been there & done that'? It's true that there's some hearts jewellery that is stale and conventional. But there are also exciting new interpretations of traditional hearts motifs. For example, you don't have to go for conventional, symmetrical hearts. What about wacky and original heart shapes, jaunty angled hearts or oversized versions of traditional delicate forms?

3) If celebrity tastes are anything to go by, then heart-themed necklaces, bracelets and earrings are the business right now. With the likes of Halle Berry, Kate Hudson and Christine Aguilera all enthusiasts, this is one trend that's going to last.

4) Traditionally, hearts jewellery has been about expensive materials like gold or even diamonds. But there are plenty of contemporary designers working with interesting new materials like brass, antique copper, resin or even wood. It's about being different and original.

5) This might sound obvious, but hearts needn't be red! Men buying jewellery for their sweethearts often assume they have to buy red, but hearts can be any colour (or any material) you like!

6) A little secret: ask any major jeweller what their bestselling items are and I guarantee at least 80% will mention hearts charm bracelets. It's a simple equation: add the most popular motif with the most popular type of bracelet, and hey presto!

7) Another original aspect of hearts jewellery takes into account the way it has been made. Fair trade jewellery that's been ethically sourced in a non-exploitative way makes a great gift, showing you care about people and the planet, as well as your sweetheart.

8) Heart padlocks or lockets are always a winner, especially when they come with a matching key.
The sheer variety of hearts-themed jewellery available means it's not difficult to find something to cater for all tastes. Whether it's affordable fashion jewellery, fair trade jewellery or expensive diamond-encrusted hearts, there really is something for everybody when it comes to hearts jewellery!
