Will You Love A Stack-Rings?

In western cultures, male or female of any ages, on any fingers, thumbs or toes, can wear them. Rings are often made out of precious metals, like gold and sterling silver. Many popular styles of rings are made out of stainless steel or other base metals, wood, bone or shells. Rings speak of love and friendship or are worn just for beauty and fashion.

If you prefer to wear 3-4 rings on one finger like me, you will love stack-rings, which are two or more rings designed to fit on one finger at the same time.

Normally, each ring is just two mm. width so it will still be comfortable for you to put them on your finger.

Stack-rings, especially ones that made of sterling silver can be a good choice when you are looking for wonderful and not too expensive gifts.

The majority of people’s skin tone is more suited to silver or a mixture of silver and gold than just the plain gold – Moreover, the glows of silver or sparkles of any kinds of gems can create this fashionable and fascinated ring…

Paloma Picasso

Anne Paloma Picasso was born on April 19th, 1949 in Vallauris, France. She is known professionally as Paloma Picasso. She is a French/Spanish fashion designer and businesswoman, best known for her jewelry designs and signature perfumes. She is the youngest daughter of famed 20th-century artist Pablo Picasso and painter and writer Françoise Gilot. Paloma literally means ‘dove’ in Spanish. She currently lives in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Her jewelry career began in 1968, when she was a costume designer in Paris. When she created some rhinestone necklaces from flea market finds, this brought attention from critics, and she enrolled in a jewelry course. Not long after, Yves Saint Laurent asked her to design accessories to accompany one of his collections, and by 1971 she was working for the Greek jewelry company Zolotas.

In 1980 Picasso began designing jewelry for Tiffany & Co. of New York. The success of the pieces Picasso produced for Tiffany & Company encouraged Picasso to design and market items ranging from fashion accessories to china. These items, including eyewear, cosmetics, and leather goods, may be identified by their bold shapes and brilliant colors, and are sold and appreciated throughout the world. Picasso’s face is just as easily recognized. Posing in glossy magazine advertisements with her perfume, Paloma Picasso, the designer is, according to Hispanic, “her own best model.” While Pablo Picasso transformed aesthetic standards in the fine arts, his trend-setting daughter has independently introduced fresh perspectives in fashion design.

Later, she branched into new areas of design when in 1984 she began experimenting with fragrance, creating the very successful ‘Paloma’ perfume for L’Oréal. Her husband, Lopez-Cambil, developed the visual image for the perfume with red and black packaging and shaped bottle. In the New York Post Picasso described it as intended for “strong women like herself”. A cosmetics and bath line including body lotion, powder, shower gel, and soap were produced in the same year.

Unfortunately, but predictably, she lost interest in designing following the death of her father in 1973. At the time, she was an actress, playing Countess Erzsébet Báthory in Polish filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk’s erotic film, Immoral Tales, receiving praise from the critics for her beauty. She has not acted since.

She also lost interest in designing. “I had given up designing when my father died in 1973,” she recounted to the New York Times. “I didn’t feel like doing anything. I just looked at all the paintings, and there was the sense of being overwhelmed.” Picasso’s father had left no will, and his illegitimate children, Paloma, her brother Claude, and her half-sister Maya, brought suit for their share of the estate, which was valued at $250 million. When Paloma Picasso finally won her share of the inheritance, which was estimated to be close to $90 million, she chose some of her father’s works. As the French government had also received a huge sum and a collection of works as taxes from the estate, Picasso consented to assist in the creation of the Musée Picasso in Paris.

In addition to Paloma Picasso boutiques in Japan and Hong Kong, Picasso’s accessories are available throughout the United States, Europe, and the Far East. Paloma Picasso creations in Europe also include cosmetics and fragrances for L’Oreal in France, sunglasses and optical frames for a German company, hosiery for Grupo Synkro in Mexico, and bed ensembles, towels, bathrobes, and dressing gowns for KBC in Germany. As in the United States, home design has become a new era of creation for Paloma Picasso, with collections of bone china, crystal, silver, and tiles for Villeroy & Boch and fabrics and wall coverings for Motif.

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!!!!

My Design My Bib Necklace….

Bib Necklace is the new hot trends for the Sexy, Active, Independent Women…Lets create your own design by yourself – have fun and enjoy!!

Tips…

You can actually make your own by simply using a fabric base, or even a wire base to attach your beads to. Sew beads on with fireline and thread, or you can wire wrap onto a wire base. Add a bit of chain or ribbon for the back to use as a necklace strap, and you’re home free. I guess the hardest thing to choose is what to use on the bib itself, since your choices include everything from feathers to beads to buttons to whatever your mind can fathom. It’s a free for all! Call me crazy, but I always look way ahead when I see designs like this…  to the days when they become vintage and someone like me is browsing around in an attic or antique shop and stumbles across a few.
