an inspired quote suddenly hit me like a flash of light. Here it is.
"Fashion is the art of making eloquent statements without opening your mouth."

What Made The Difference?

Dear Lady,

What  Made The Difference?

Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes this kind of difference in people's lives? It isn't always native intelligence or talent or dedication. It isn't always that one person wants success more than the other.

The difference lies in what each person knows and how he or she makes use of that knowledge. And, that is why you are in this page right now reading this. You need to know. You need to have that knowledge. Knowledge that will set you apart from the rest.

Do you know what the other young woman did to help her become president of the company she worked for? She acquired knowledge that made her among those who are a cut above other women.

She learned about jewelry, and she learned how to adapt them to her unique body chemistry. She learned all the proper nuances of wearing jewelry that would compliment her looks rather than kill it.

She knew.

But perhaps, the most powerful knowledge that she now had was this:

Expensive jewelry does not a beauty make.

No, matter how many millions worth of diamonds you wear if you do not know how to blend them with your unique personality, they would be just as worthless pieces of rocks weighing you down. And, make you look plain.

But, our successful woman knew. And, she knew where to look.

Knowledge indeed is power.

While her friend became content with what she had become, a simple housewife, this more successful woman has  learned to develop an image that was uniquely hers. An image that she could put a stamp on as hers and only hers. 

This gave her all the self-confidence she needed to move ahead.

And, she had no need of expensive diamonds to look beautiful.

Because of her knowledge, she can create exciting jewelry ensembles that would fit her every mood. Jewelry pieces that would be a perfect match to any occasion.

Because of her knowledge, she could look her sultry best and maintain her mystique without straining her bank account.

And she would stand out. Anywhere. Anytime.

You want that knowledge too, because you need to.

The Source

Dear Lady,

Beaded fashion jewelry as an expression of what you are as a woman?  What about diamonds? Well, what about them?

Let me share with you a story of two young women.

On a cool beautiful afternoon, one late spring, twenty five years ago, two young women graduated from the same college. These two young women  were very much alike. They were both better than average students. Both were pretty and personable, and like most young women, both were  filled with ambitious dreams for the future.

Recently, these young women returned to their college for the 25th reunion. They were still very much alike. Both were happily married. Both had three children. And both, as it turned out, had gone to work at companies engaged in the same line of business.

But, here the similarities ended.

One of the young women became manager of a small department in her company. The other became the president in hers.

Metals or Stones?

Chandelier Earrings

Beaded fashion jewelry : or metals and stones?  
                                                           
Jewelry is one of the oldest form of ornamentation that enhances one's inner beauty.  It could be said to be a woman’s best friend. It highlights the feminine aura and marks her repute in her own circle.

Some jewelry forms have been expressed as charms. For centuries, charms signified a lot of things to different people. Royalties wore them to show their rank. Women wore them to highlight their beauty and stature in society. Men wore charms to signify strength and power over others.

Nowadays, more and more women prefer body trinkets as they are easy to wear. However, it is not always easy to choose which ones would match a woman's peculiar body chemistry. But of course, choosing is all part of the fun.

There is no woman who does not desire to own a well-crafted beaded trinket. If you are one of them, then make your passion work for you and witness the dawning of the new you, enhanced by the inimmitable charm of a beaded body ornament.

Beads are getting to be the "in" thing nowadays as compared to jewelry made of precious metals and stones. Beads are more than an ideal substitute not only because they are beautiful but, also because they are very attractive. And, owning one wouldn't you cost an arm and a leg.

Chokers and necklaces are two of the best expressions of beaded jewelry. Chokers are especially elegant on women with a swanlike necks.

Another good expression of beaded jewery are bracelets. Bracelets work well with both women and men. So, if you are looking forward to making a statement to those around you - particularly your friends, or even just in the circle where you move, beaded fashion jewelry is the way to go.

Beaded Fashion Jewelry - Cultivating a Sultry Exotic Look

Drop Earrings

When we think beaded fashion jewelry, we normally think of bracelets, anklets, hair ornaments and necklaces. But, what about beaded earrings? Well, earrings are mostly made of metal, enamel and precious stones. Some of us think earrings are fancy and expensive!

Fortunately, earrings don't have to be flashy, or expensive, or made of just one extravagant material -- or a combination thereof.  Considering the wide array of exotic bead materials in the world, it only takes ones imagination to come up with a jewelry piece that's just right for any woman. A woman can then be elegant without spending a lot of money, and she can be sultry without looking so metallic!

Beads had been around for a long time. American Indians used to create very elaborate beaded jewelry for different purposes. Among them were dream catchers -- ritual items placed on cradles and other sleeping areas in order to drive away bad dreams -- and obviously, beaded earrings for the women. A common stone involved in the making of bead jewelry is turquoise, which is said to lend strength of conviction and character to the wearer.

Some beads are made of semi-precious stones, and as such make for beaded earrings that are comparable to earrings made from other kinds of exotic materials -- like hemp. Beads come in virtually every hue of the color spectrum, so it is no problem to find one to make beaded earrings to catch one's fancy.

To achieve the natural, native look, go for beaded earrings. They are certainly unique and attention-catching. Choose from a variety of multicolored or monochromatic designs, mix and match according to your clothing, and existing jewelry. If you already have beaded necklaces or bracelets -- or even beaded shirts! -- why not wear beaded earrings to match?

Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Marie Osmond and "Law and Order" actress Elisabeth Rohm have all purchased and sported beaded jewelry at one time or another, and it has worked very well for them indeed!

Beaded earrings are easily very colorful and elegant, with a touch of that old world charm. If you want a change from the traditional metal-and-stone ensembles in most jewelry outfits, beaded accessories are the way to go.
