You can buy <a href="https://www.copperreflections.com/" target="_blank">handmade jewelry online</a> to spruce up any of your outfits with some stylish handmade jewelry. Instead of spending more money on new outfits, accessorize the wardrobe you already have with wonderful handcrafted jewelry. Here are some useful tips to help you achieve the look and feel you want with almost any outfit.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8844140080,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8844140080,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8844140080?profile=original" /></a></p><p><br />Everyone loves to wear unique handcrafted jewelry, but few know that the shape and style of the handcrafted jewelry you choose can actually work towards enhancing your appearance. Those of you who are tall and want to take attention away from your height want to opt for handcrafted necklaces that are short or resting on the collarbone.</p><p>Choker necklaces work beautifully to make you look shorter.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8844141063,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8844141063,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8844141063?profile=original" /></a></p><p>Much like clothing, unique handcrafted necklace styles can work towards changing the viewer's perception of your height. If you are very short and want to give the perception that you are taller then you want to choose necklaces that are longer. Unique handcrafted necklaces that are V-shaped or Y-shaped can elongate your appearance. You want to pick necklaces that are longer but do not pass your waist. These shapes and lengths will make you appear taller.</p><p>Unique handcrafted necklaces can enhance the look of your shirt, sweater or dress by adding color, brightness, and beauty.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8844140660,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8844140660,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8844140660?profile=original" /></a></p><p>You can make your neck and upper body appear thinner by wearing certain types of necklaces. For example, if you have a solid colored shirt or dress with a rounded neckline wear a necklace of medium length that hangs in a V-shape. The V-shape will make the neckline appear narrow and will also draw attention away from the arms and shoulders. For a larger person with broad shoulders, this is a thrilling discovery! It is the easiest weight-loss program around!</p><p>When choosing necklaces you also want to think about the volume or chunkiness of the unique handcrafted necklace. A large boned or full-figured gal will want a necklace that is bigger and bulkier.</p><p>If you are petite, larger jewelry may not look right on you and you may want to pick something more delicate.</p><p>Unique <a href="https://www.copperreflections.com/handmade-earrings/" target="_blank">handmade earrings</a> can work towards or against the shape of your face. Depending on the shape of your face, you can use particular handcrafted earring styles to emphasize or de-emphasize flaws in the shape. When we talk about face shapes we are referring to the basic shapes of round, rectangle, heart-shaped, oval, or square.</p><p>Those with an oval-shaped face are the luckiest because they can wear pretty much any style and look good. If your face is round, you do not want to emphasize the fullness so you want to stay away from big button style earrings or hoops.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8844140692,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8844140692,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8844140692?profile=original" /></a></p><p>Long dangle earrings for square-shaped will help to elongate your face.</p><p>Heart-shaped faces are thinner by the chin and so you want to wear handmade earrings that can widen out your chin such as triangular shapes or chandelier earrings that are wider at the bottom. If your face is the long or rectangular shape you do not want to wear longer dangle earrings as this will tend to elongate your face. Pick smaller stud earrings to match your face shape.</p><p>A lot of times when you talk or when you are just sitting around your hands are up near your face so you want to pick your handmade bracelets and unique rings so that they complement your face as well as your hands.</p></div>Avail the handmade handbags and make the right choice!https://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/avail-the-handmade-handbags-and-make-the-right-choice2019-11-01T06:29:40.000Z2019-11-01T06:29:40.000Zjames smithhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/jamessmith807<div><p><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Online sites are offering different products to their budding customer so that they can add more customers in less duration of time.

He has been creating glass works for over forty years and is a prominent name in the contemporary art world. Dale is viewed as a highly successful artist and his net worth has been estimated at $10 million. His work can be seen in many different galleries across the country and even internationally. Known for his bright colors, large-scale projects, use of light, and love of nature, Dale’s body of work provides a profound experience for many. </span></p><p><u><span>Education</span></u></p><p><span>Originally from Washington, Dale attended the University of Washington in Seattle where he earned a B.A. in interior design in 1965. From there he continued his education with an M.S. in sculpture in 1967 studying glassblowing under Harvey Littleton at the University of Wisconsin. Dale received a full scholarship to study with Littleton who had established the first glass program in the United States. Following his MS degree, Dale received an M.F.A. in 1968 from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and went on to receive a scholarship to work at Venini Fabrica in Murano, Italy.</span></p><p><span>After he received his MS at the University of Wisconsin, Dale started teaching a summer class at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, which he continued to do for several summers thereafter. In 1969 Dale returned to the United States from Italy and created the first RISD glassblowing program as well as cofounded the Pilchuck Glass School north of Seattle in 1971.</span></p><p><u><span>Artistic Method</span></u></p><p><span>Early in Dale’s career, he created a new model of glassblowing after sustaining injuries that required him to create his art with a team of people. This collaborative environment was unheard of at that time in the glassblowing world.</span></p><p><span>Dale was involved in a car accident in London in 1976 that propelled him out of the windshield causing severe lacerations on his face and left him blind in one eye. He later sustained a shoulder injury while bodysurfing in 1979 leaving him unable to hold the pipe required to blow glass.</span></p><p><span>Due to these physical limitations, Dale’s creative process evolved into that of an artistic director. He has said that once he took a step back from his role as the creator, he found that he enjoyed being able to see and control the artistic process from the outside looking in. He is able to manipulate the glass and art in ways that he otherwise would not have working on his own. Not to mention the large scale installations his team helps create, pack, ship, and assemble once on location.</span></p><p><span><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8844094673,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8844094673,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8844094673?profile=original" /></a></span></p><p><u><span>Where Is He No</span></u></p><p><span>Dale is now almost 80 years old and is still actively involved with creating art. He has expanded over the years to many mediums and continues to produce paintings and sculptures out of a variety of materials though continues to work mostly in glass. You can find his work in a plethora of museums worldwide and many of them nationally. His work and exhibits continue to be a huge success and he remains a significant part of glass art history.</span></p><p><u><span>Influence</span></u></p><p><span>Dale was a huge influence on LeightWorks artist <a href="https://leightworks.com/pages/about-us"><strong>David Leight</strong></a> as a student at Pilchuck Glass School where David started creating glass sculptures. David’s work eventually progressed to the <a href="https://leightworks.com/"><strong>handmade crystal jewelry</strong></a> that he sells today. Based in sunny San Diego, David creates the <a href="https://leightworks.com/collections/pendants"><strong>crystal pendants</strong></a>, <strong>earrings, bracelets, and rings</strong> all with the concept of using light to create beauty. Dale continues to be an inspiration today for David’s handmade crystal jewelry and David reflects fondly on the time that he spent at Pilchuck.</span></p><p><u><span>Permanent Exhibitions:</span></u></p><ul><li><span>Oklahoma City Museum of Art</span></li><li><span>Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)</span></li><li><span>Chihuly Garden and Glass (Seattle)</span></li><li><span>Los Angeles County Museum of Art</span></li></ul><p><u><span>Galleries</span></u></p><ul><li><span>Arthur Roger Gallery, New Orleans, LA</span></li><li><span>Imago Galleries, Palm Desert, CA</span></li><li><span>Sandra Ainsley Gallery, Toronto, Ontario, Canada</span></li><li><span>Halcyon Gallery, London, United Kingdom</span></li><li><span>LA Louver, Venice, CA</span></li><li><span>Schantz Galleries, Stockbridge, MA</span></li><li><span>Whitestone Gallery, Hong Kong</span></li><li><span>Whitestone Gallery, Taipei City, Taiwan</span></li></ul></div>4 Reasons To Buy Handmade Jewelry Ringshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/4-reasons-to-buy-handmade-jewelry-rings2018-03-08T09:43:10.000Z2018-03-08T09:43:10.000ZKristen Whitehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/KristenWhite962<div><p>Are planning to ask your loved one for their hand in marriage?

You can probably find a Macy’s or Nordstrom at your nearest mall, along with lower-priced fast fashion outlets. But boutiques and other smaller clothing companies are growing more and more popular with consumers.</p><p> </p><p>What makes these smaller businesses so appealing for finding new clothes? There are three reasons that stand above the rest.</p><p> </p><h2>To Get Something Unique</h2><p>If you’re the type of person who appreciates fashion and developing your own personal style, then a boutique is the perfect place for you. When you shop at a boutique or a small company for clothes, you can find pieces that very few other people have. You’ll have people asking you where you got your clothes simply because what you’re wearing stands out.</p><p> </p><p>The same can’t be said for large clothing stores. Since these stores need to focus on selling a high volume, they tend to stock items that a wide variety of people will like and buy. You may end up buying something that thousands of other people are already wearing.</p><h2> </h2><h2>To Support the Community</h2><p>When you shop at a small business, the money you spend goes to the owners and their employees, all of who likely live in the local area. You get to do business with your neighbors in the community. It’s also good for the local economy, as the business’s owners and employees will likely put that money back into the community in some way.</p><p> </p><p>Compare that to shopping for clothes at some giant corporation. Your money is just part of their profit margin, and much of it will likely go to executives in another city.</p><h2> </h2><h2>To Find Handmade Products</h2><p>You’re far more likely to find high-quality, handmade clothing when you shop at a small business. The people who own <a href="https://www.overunderclothing.com/collections/performance-tees">small clothing companies</a> usually do so because they have a passion for clothes and enjoy making them. It’s an art form to them.</p><p> </p><p>At larger stores, it’s all about producing as many clothes as possible at the lowest cost. That leads to cost-cutting measures, such as using lower-quality fabrics and manufacturing clothes by machine instead of by hand.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>Next time you shop for clothing, you can probably get the lowest prices at a huge national store. However, if you want a unique, high-quality handmade product that also allows you to support your community, consider stopping by a boutique.</p></div>Quality or Fashion: Choice is yourshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/quality-or-fashion-choice-is-yours2017-08-05T07:30:00.000Z2017-08-05T07:30:00.000ZAngela Jeyhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/AngelaJey<div><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843763297,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="700" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843763297,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8843763297?profile=original" /></a></p><p>Trends and fashion are what define today’s world. We see everyone being driven by the trends and talking about them, giving them so much importance over anything. We live in a world of trends and fashions which are driven by corporate sector or celebrities. In the following article, we will discuss whether the hype is worth it or we should go with quality over fashion:<br /> <br /> <em><strong>Fashion Changes Everyday</strong></em><br /> <br /> We see fashion changes every day. Like we see, one thing comes in for a day and then it is replaced by a new thing and while this happens, there is a new thing in and will take over the world of trends. Fashion is dependent on time and is pretty obvious to change when a new trend takes over.<br /> <br /> Fashion is driven by a mass of people and is vulnerable to abrupt changes that may put quality at stake. Today, Fashion is being promoted without knowing how much we have lost quality in the name of Fashion. Quality is independent of time, like if you are going to see a quality thing that was made 100 years back, and it won’t also change today. <br /> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843763078,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="700" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843763078,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8843763078?profile=original" /></a><br /> <em><strong>Time and Quality go hand in hand</strong></em><br /> <br /> If one wears the hand-woven garment, his style will win over the fashion of a factory embroidered sweater just because being into something doesn’t really mean you are good at it. A person wearing an in-fashioned eyewear that doesn’t look great if measured by a man who weighs quality and style over being modern. That simply means that the person wearing that may look up to date but doesn’t look sober and nice.<br /> <br /> We know that great leaders did things that were great, but they were also followed due to their aesthetic sense and their great choice of wearing. So, if one wear something that is in fashion but not a great choice of quality, then it may look good for a day, but since it not based on quality, then how can it compete with something that has been made on the principle of quality. By quality, we mean that it has the customer care and stuff in the house.<br /> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843763673,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="700" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843763673,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8843763673?profile=original" /></a><br /> <strong>Being Vintage and Traditional is Good</strong><br /> <br /> So, if you think that quality is important than fashion and that it should be made into practice also, then you should be looking forward to our store. <strong>We, at Angela Jey, support sustainable and eco-friendly fashion, in which we use handloom, organic and recycle fabrics and use so free and vegetable dye</strong>. We work closely with the artisans and weavers to make sure they get fair wages for their hard work so that more families are getting the benefit of our growth.

Of course, no one wants to live under constant threat of a disaster. </span></p><p><span class="font-size-4"><a href="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0313/9629/products/Joy_Ella_Gemstone_Earrings_Lila_Clare_Jewelry_78f5aeda-edc5-4b7c-8ed5-6a5a19069772_1024x1024.jpg?v=1415819314" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0313/9629/products/Joy_Ella_Gemstone_Earrings_Lila_Clare_Jewelry_78f5aeda-edc5-4b7c-8ed5-6a5a19069772_1024x1024.jpg?v=1415819314" class="align-full" alt="Joy_Ella_Gemstone_Earrings_Lila_Clare_Jewelry_78f5aeda-edc5-4b7c-8ed5-6a5a19069772_1024x1024.jpg?v=1415819314" /></a></span></p><p><span class="font-size-4">Thus, it is only right that we start to reclaim our lives by making changes in our everyday routines. The smallest and most insignificant of things can contribute to this. One need not take drastic measures; one can take small steps towards reducing wastage. These steps can add up to have a considerable impact on the toxicity that surrounds us on a daily basis.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><em><span class="font-size-4">In this scenario, what does one do if one is a consumer at heart and desires ‘things’ like jewelry?</span></em></p><p></p><p><strong><span class="font-size-4">It’s quite simple.</span></strong></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-4">There is no need to completely abandon one’s desires: not only is that next to impossible but also ill- advised if done in a hurry. Instead, one can find ways to conflate these wishes with eco- friendly ideas. This way, one need not feel guilty about indulging oneself.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-4">This trend of making eco- friendly jewelry at home, instead of buying regular silver, gold or <a href="http://lilaclare.com/collections/joy" target="_blank">compact silver sterling handmade jewelry</a> is gaining lots of popularity. It reduces wastage and is very light on the pocket. Moreover, it takes minimal effort and acts as a quirky and thoughtful style statement.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><em><span class="font-size-5">Let us look at some ways in which one can make eco- friendly jewelry at home:</span></em></p><p><em><span class="font-size-5"><a href="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0313/9629/products/Mia_Small_Calla_Lily_with_Leaf_Earrings_1024x1024.jpg?v=1422401892" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0313/9629/products/Mia_Small_Calla_Lily_with_Leaf_Earrings_1024x1024.jpg?v=1422401892" class="align-full" alt="Mia_Small_Calla_Lily_with_Leaf_Earrings_1024x1024.jpg?v=1422401892" /></a></span></em></p><p><span class="font-size-4"><strong>Reuse</strong>: The first step towards crafting your own jewelry is to reuse stuff. It is the best way to ensure that this costs you almost nothing. The beads from your previous necklaces, the hangings from the earrings, scraps from other such things should be kept and creatively put together to make new pieces. For instance, the designs of a broken pair of earrings can be used as pendants or even attached to bracelets. Or, cut your broken necklace short and create bracelets and anklets. This way, you have new jewelry without paying for it.</span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-4"><strong>Recycle</strong>: This is the basic tenet of addressing wastage. You can recycle a hundred different things around the house to craft into little pieces of eco- friendly jewelry. For instance, the pop- tops from soda cans can be great bases to create earrings with beads or stones attached to them. Similarly, buttons are a great way to make jewelry, be it bracelets, necklaces, earrings or the likes. You can also paint them or cover them with colorful threads to make them vibrant.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-4"><strong>Try Multi- Functionality</strong>: It is always a great idea to extract a lot of functions from the same thing. This way your jewelry is new and serves more than one purpose. For example, you can use bobby pins to create a necklace, simply with thread and different colored pins. It looks great with dresses and also serves the basic purpose of a bobby pin.</span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-4"><strong>Go Eccentric</strong>: Making eco- friendly jewelry gives you a huge window to up your quirk factor. For instance, little circuit boards from discarded appliances make for awesome earrings. Similarly, tiny pencils, sharpened to the maximum, can be made into eye- catchy earrings. </span></p></div>9 Things To Consider When Purchasing Handcrafted Jewelryhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/9-things-to-consider-when-purchasing-handcrafted-jewelry2015-08-04T10:28:21.000Z2015-08-04T10:28:21.000ZRobi Kanhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/RobiKan<div><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843525480,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843525480,original{{/staticFileLink}}" height="268" alt="8843525480?profile=original" /></a>Image from <a href="http://www.greennbrown.com/eco-fashion/eco-jewelry/" target="_blank">GreenNBrown.com - handcrafted jewelry shop</a></p><p>For as long as humans have inhabited the earth there has been jewelry. When humans first started to produce clothes and making primitive tools items of jewelry were fashioned from the natural resources available; this may have been bones, stones or even animal skins. More recently jewelry involves the use of beautiful, and often precious, gems set into gold or silver bracelets, rings or necklaces. One thing has been true throughout history, wearing an item of jewelry is a personal matter and the item worn will be a reflection of the person wearing it. <br /><br />There are an abundance of handcrafted items available on the market, although jewelry remains one of the most popular choices. Before purchasing any item it is essential to consider the following points:<br /><br />1. <strong>Type of Metal</strong><br /><br />Handcrafted jewelry can be made from a wide variety of metals and even from non metallic products. Every item of jewelry which is made from a precious metal should state this and be able to prove that this is the case. Gold and silver are the most commonly used metals, although titanium and stainless steel are also popular choices. It is important to consider which metal has been used to produce the jewelry as it will need to match the other items that the recipient usually wears. Many fashion jewelry items are made from cheaper materials although this does not mean that they are any less of a gift. Particular attention should be shown to how well the article has been finished.<br /><br />2. <strong>Type of stones</strong><br /><br />There is an even wider range of stones available which can be used in the production of handcrafted jewelry. These range from the beads used in costume jewelry to the finest diamonds. There are many different types of gems which are commonly used in jewelry and it is common for different color stones to be associated with different birth signs. Jewelry can also be made using alternative materials such as glass or even wood. This is something that needs careful consideration before you purchase as the right color and choice of jewel type is essential.<br /><br />3. <strong>Value</strong><br /><br />It can be very difficult to place a value on an item of jewelry. The more expensive, or precious the stone (diamond) the higher the value of the item; however, there are many products which use lower quality stones but still have high price tags. This may be because they are made by a famous designer or they are particularly ornate. In simple economic terms an item is worth what you are willing to pay for it, you should bear in mind the quality of the stones used and how well the jewelry has been crafted before committing to any price.<br /><br />4. <strong>Handmade</strong><br /><br />Before purchasing an item which is marked ‘handmade’ or ‘handcrafted’ it is essential to confirm that this is actually the case! If you are at a market or craft fair and dealing directly with the maker of the item then it should be easy to verify it is genuinely handmade. An item in a shop may be mass produced but made by hand, this is technically still handcrafted but it will not be unique and will not, necessarily, be of the high quality you were looking for. It is also possible that these products will have been made by exploiting children or even adults to work for nearly nothing. Of course, many handcrafted items are well made and ethically produced and are well worth purchasing.<br /><br />5. <strong>Ethnic Origin</strong><br /><br />Just as it is important to establish that the product you wish to buy has been handcrafted it is essential to confirm where it has been made. There are many businesses which are happy to exploit the cheap labor market in third world countries in order to make more profit. Items which have been made in these locations will not be subject to the same quality controls present here and you may need to consider how pure the metal used is or even if the stones in the jewelry are ethically mined. <br /><br />6. <strong>Environmental Issues</strong><br /><br />You should also consider the environmental impact of your intended purchase. Mining for gold, silver and diamonds has an impact on the environment and you should be concerned with how these products have been mined. It is still common is certain areas of the world to use children for mining diamonds; they work in dangerous conditions, with little pay and no holidays. Mining itself can cause huge amounts of damage to the earth, dirty gold mining is known to leave mercury and cyanide; both of which are harmful to the earth and to humans.<br /><br />7. <strong>Where to Purchase</strong><br /><br />The best place to purchase your handcrafted jewelry is either directly from a local producer; anyone creating jewelry at home will be able to craft the exact piece you require and will do it at a reasonable price. Another option is to purchase from a reputable online store, there are many businesses trading online which promise eco-friendly products. It is best to visit an online store which is known to be environmentally friendly; <a href="http://www.greennbrown.com/eco-home/bonsai/" target="_blank">www.greennbrown.com</a> is one site that specializes in eco-friendly products and offers a wide range of products, including handcrafted jewelry at reasonable prices. Most importantly the site has verified every product as being produced in an ethnically and environmentally friendly way. <br /><br />8. <strong>Unique Design</strong><br /><br />Handcrafted jewelry has a distinct advantage over any mass produced item as it is unique and can even be designed with your personal input. This means that your purchase can be tailored to fit your wishes and will blend perfectly with the intended recipient’s wardrobe and existing jewelry collection. Handcrafted jewelry is also made with love and attention as the maker puts their reputation on the line with every item they make.<br /><br />9. <strong>Allergic</strong><br /><br />A final, vital, consideration is the products which have been used in the manufacturer of the item. For several of the reasons listed above it is possible that the metal used in some jewelry is not pure and this can lead to issues for anyone who is allergic to certain types of metal, or even other materials. Before you purchase any handcrafted jewelry make sure you know that what you are purchasing is exactly what you think it is!<br /><br /></p></div>Evening Dresses Spring-Summer 2015 Trendshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/evening-dresses-spring-summer-2015-trends2015-06-16T10:35:10.000Z2015-06-16T10:35:10.000ZKevin Thomashttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/KevinThomas<div><h2>The Look – Metallic style Dresses, Shining evening dresses</h2><p><a href="http://www.sovacollection.com/dresses/occasion-evening-wear/metallic-effect-dress-with-sequins-sc300035e">Eveningwear dress</a></p><p><a href="http://www.sovacollection.com/dresses/occasion-evening-wear/one-shoulder-long-dress-sc300037e">Eveningwear dress one shoulder</a></p><p><a href="http://www.sovacollection.com/dresses/occasion-evening-wear/shimmering-matelasse-brown-dress-sc00024e">Eveningwear dress metalasse</a></p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SovaJKJewellery">Dress Wear Jewellery</a></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Sovacollection Evening wear Dresses</span></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843501275,original{{/staticFileLink}}" style="font-size:14pt;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843501275,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="676" class="align-left" alt="8843501275?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Wedding day ideas are covered by many resources around, so no point in trying to re-inventing the wheel!</p><p>All I can do is observe and report my ideals and trends that seem to seep into the fabric of our lives, visually by the media or the celebrities whether being photographed at a special event, red carpet, music awards, or a charity event.</p><p>Jewellery is a really important part of your whole dressing up routine, whether a wedding day event or a christening.

I allow my thoughts to revolve around this little slice of paradise, which already makes me feel more at ease with my stressful life. Let me take you on a photo walk through this big fun party. I am sure that will make you wish it were Christmas every day.</p><p>PS <a href="http://www.jenbrial.com/">JenBrial Patisserie</a> (sweets jewelry brand as mentioned in the post) has launched their first freestanding store this month.

Handmade Jewellery Wearing Mistakeshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/4-of-the-worst-handmade-jewellery-wearing-mistakes2014-12-22T11:47:41.000Z2014-12-22T11:47:41.000ZJeniffer Pagehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/JenifferPage<div><p>Handmade jewellery pieces are, unquestionably, beautiful. The problem is, however, that the beauty of the handmade jewellery online that you invested in and love so much can be tarnished if you ever make any one of these four mistakes below:</p><p><br />1. <strong>Wearing Too Much Jewellery</strong><br />Handmade or designer, it doesn’t matter. If you have too much jewellery hanging off of your body, then not only is your entire “look” incredibly confusing, but you’ll come off looking tacky and cheap – both of which is a crime against handmade women’s jewellery.</p><p>The key here is to know what’s “stackable” and what’s not, what’s complimentary and what’s completely gaudy. A set of bracelets can be fantastic, but don’t go all out with a thick choker and rings on multiple fingers. Make one piece the focal point, and keep everything else as simple (yet stylish) as possible.</p><p><br />2. <strong>Wearing Pieces That Lack Of Focus</strong><br />As mentioned briefly above, when choosing the pieces of handmade women’s jewellery you’ll be wearing, make sure that you are absolutely clear on which piece will be the “attention getter”. Wearing a large bib-style resin necklace with chandelier earrings and an armful of bangles and bracelets is incredibly confusing and is doing your look no favours. Choose what you’d like to stand out from the lot, and then choose complimentary pieces that will draw attention to that piece.</p><p>TIP: When complimenting pieces, don’t be too “matchy”. Look for things like colour, texture, and metals used to compliment that focal piece, but don’t choose to wear an item that closely mirrors the appearance of that focal piece.</p><p></p><p>3. <strong>Wearing “Musical” Jewellery</strong><br />We all know the type, the daring individuals whose wooden bangles bangle so much that it sounds as if they should be part of a band. While it can be hard to determine whether a piece of fashion jewellery will be noisy prior to purchasing, just look at the weight, the purpose, and the type of material being used. Think about how it’ll move on your body, and then completely avoid any pieces that you think will crash or clang! to the point that you’ll annoy your family, friends, and co-workers.</p><p><br />4. <strong>Wearing Incompatible Materials</strong><br />Keep in mind that a lot of those who craft handmade women’s jewellery are not professionals. They do this at home after their children go to bed, or they do it on their weekends. While they love what they do, they may not all be fully aware of what materials “work” and which don’t. The gemstones and metals should coordinate and work with one another, sometimes to the point where they create a brand new and completely striking look.</p><p>Somewhat on the same topic is making sure that the pieces that you select match with your wardrobe. For example, a necklace made of heavy wooden beads likely wouldn’t properly compliment or work well with a blouse made of thin silk. The length of any necklace you choose should also compliment the collar (i.e. a choker compliments a deeper neckline, but not a turtleneck sweater).</p><p></p><p>Proudly based in Melbourne, <a href="http://www.elkaccessories.com.au" target="_blank">www.elkaccessories.com.au</a> offers original, contemporary designed fashion accessories and leather goods.
