How do I get my match earrings

The color of your earrings is an important characteristic that you must match to your outfit.

A nicely colored pair of earrings can compliment your eye color and facial features, as well as your style. Try a lot of different colors with different outfits until you find the colors that look best with your complexion and that match the dominating colors of your wardrobe.

To Gem or Not to Gem

Should be based on occasion and your personal preference.
- Small gemstones are good for an added shine to everyday clothing.
- Large gemstones can be worn for special occasions.

Smaller or Bigger

Each sized earring highlights the features of the face, but not every sized earring is for every person.
- Overly sized earrings can draw attention to themselves and away from your face.
- Too small earrings won’t get noticed, your job is to find the happy-medium that works for you.

Remember - an earrings are accessories and they should match your outfit not the other way around, therefore, don’t buy earrings that you know will not go with any of your outfits.

Jewelry Today – What Woman Want?

What is it that women are buying and not buying today? The first thing they want is “Big” with a lot of bling. They are doing this by sometimes sacrificing the quality of stone for size, other times by choosing pieces with multiple diamonds that give the illusion of a big look. The days of women being satisfied with a plain gold wedding band are gone. Anything paved, basically small round diamonds set everywhere, with minimal metal showing is in hot demand.

And the second thing they want is color…lots and lots of it. In fact, They are opting for alternative semi-precious stones set around diamonds, rather then going for the traditional pricier precious stones. Sales of the traditional sapphires, emeralds and ruby stone jewelry have plummeted and have been replaced by the colorful and “cheaper” alternative semi-precious stone jewelry. All colors sell and the popularity of a certain color will vary with the season and fashion. Beryls, rubellite, rhodolite, garnet, topaz, citrine, garnets, jade, tourmalines, periodot, amber, carnelian, jade, the selection and colors are endless. Pink and blue-green are always hot colors.

Not only are stones big in rings but also gemstone bead strands have been the hot ticket item the last few years. Tourmaline, peridot, topaz, iolite, jade, lapis, onyx, beryl mixed with gold beads, pearls and accented with big centerpiece pendants have been popular. After enduring a decade of the white metal and diamonds minimalism look, women revolted and the “bigness” of size and color became the flavor du-jour for women’s necklaces. During the minimalist period where necklaces were all worn short, the necklaces of today have evolved to the belly button length. These necklaces are usually 32″ or longer and worn long or doubled for a layered look.

Additionally, women want versatility in their jewelry. They want jewelry they can wear to the office as well as go out to dinner and just plain live in. They want anything that gives her a feeling of change from day to night or that she can color coordinate with different outfits!!!!

Gems of Siam (Thailand)

The earliest reference to the gems of Siam (Thailand) was that of the Chinese traveler, Ma Huan, in 1408 AD (Phillips, 1887; Gühler, 1947):

A hundred li (twenty miles) to the S.W. of this Kingdom there is a trading place Shang-Shui, which is on the road to Yun-hou-mên, [possibly a canal between Chanthaburi and Trat Provinces in eastern Thailand]. In this place there are five or six hundred foreign families, who sell all kinds of foreign goods; many Hung-ma-sze-kên-ti stones are sold there. This stone is an inferior kind of ruby, bright and clear like the seeds of the pomegranate.

In Manual de Faria’s (1617 to 1640 AD) description of Portuguese Asia it is stated that Siam has “mines of sapphires and rubies” (Ball, 1931). Nicolas Gervaise, writing in 1688, also mentions what may have been an occurrence of sapphire in Siam:

…there are blue stones found in certain parts of the jungle in the uplands. This stone resembles the Lapis which is usually found in gold mines.

Gervaise, however, seemed interested more in gold than precious stones, for this is his only reference to gems (Gervaise, 1688).

Ulrich Gühler (1947) has given us an authoritative account of the history of gems in Thailand, unfortunately in an obscure Thai journal, beginning with Ma Huan. From the fifteenth century onwards, various travelers to Thailand mention, in passing, that rubies and sapphires are found near Chanthaburi. Also included are the sometimes humorous descriptions of the gems, as well as the local people and their customs. Witness the statements of early French missionaries to Thailand (Cartwright, 1908) from before 1770 on the former Thai province of Laos:

In the province of Laos from whence the kingdom takes its name, there is a deep mine whence rubies and emeralds are extracted. The King possesses an emerald of the size of an ordinary orange.

De la Loubère (1693), French envoy to Siam in 1687, described Thailand as “abounding in mines of rubies and sapphires.” He added that the stones usually found their way into the possession of monks, who were secretive as to the gems’ origin, and who employed them as charms. A handful of rough sapphire from Chanthaburi’s Khao Ploi Waen mines.
