Designer Jewelry for a Paltry Amount of Money

By Vince Paxton

Everywhere you look for jewelry you will notice that there is a lot of colorful jewelry out there. Just twenty years ago the choice of jewelry was much less; you only had sapphire, emerald, pearl, opal and ruby jewelry. Today you can get much more colorful designs. If you want to buy some more unique jewelry designs then it can be difficult to find a shop to buy interesting designer jewelry from.

Styling Events

The easiest way to find a piece of designer gemstone jewelry is to visit one of the many styling events that are often publicized in your local newspaper. You can attend these at your local jewelry stores. During these you will get to see a wide variety of different types of jewelry that you can choose from. These styles are often very different to jewelry which is available from a shop. You can get a beautiful setting for your gemstone.

These gemstones are only available for a short period of time, this means that you will get a unique piece of jewelry which nobody else will have.

Custom Design Jewelers

Another way to find the perfect piece of designer jewelry is to visit your local jewelry store, most of these design jewelry in house. Most of these stores have a wide selection of loose gemstones which can be fitted into any mount. These stores have a different selection to any event that you would visit, but it may take longer to find the right stone. If you can't find the gemstone for you then these jewelry stores will only be too happy to help you find it.

Buying from a jewelry store allows customers to have more choice. Normally at styling events the designs which can be created is limited by the number of mounts and settings available. In a jewelry store however you can create pretty much any design you wanted. Most of these stores have casting areas which allow you to create pretty much any design.

If you want colorful jewelry without the common designs which you find everywhere then you should investigate the idea of creating your own jewelry. It's fairly easy to create your own jewelry by simply making an appointment to discuss your design options. By creating your own designs you can create unique jewelry.

A Very Spiritual Tattoo

By James Beckett

Putting an image on your body is something that is very much your decision. There are many reasons for getting a tattoo such as using the tat to get a sense of closeness with a romantic interest or some other family member or to use the tattoo as a way of connecting to a group or movement that we feel strongly about. And the tattoo does build that powerful almost spiritual connection to the person or cause because it becomes part of who you are physically and it is always there.

If you are like lots of us, you may feel a draw to the spiritual world and that interest is in you even if you are put off by religion like a lot of people are. Many people find that the image of angels seems to touch that side of us that wants to contact the spiritual world. In fact, angels have become common in culture including the movies and TV because these spiritual creatures seem to speak to people from all religions and to people with no particular religious affiliation at all.

There is something comforting about even having a figurine or a picture of an angel nearby. From what we know as angels, they are capable of being servants of God and mankind to connect us to the greater world beyond us. And they can serve as guardian angels to watch over us when sometimes we cannot watch over ourselves.

So if having an angel statue or picture bring spiritual peace, an angel tattoo may feel right as a next step in your spiritual journey. The angel you pick to be represented in the tattoo you get probably won't be one specific angel like Gabriel or Michael. But the image represents that spiritual angel you know is there to help you feel more connected both to the spiritual side of life and to that part of you that is spiritual which we sometimes call the "soul"

An angel tattoo can be a guardian not only to keep spiritual evil away from you but to remind you to think about the eternal world and attend to your soul from time to time. In this busy world, its good to have a helper with us all the time to point us the right direction and remind us that we are spiritual beings and we should seek to live up to that part of ourselves. Your angel tattoo is in a perfect position to do that reminding because if she is in the right place on you physically, she will never be completely out of your sight or you out of hers.

The universal hunger for answers to spiritual questions may be one reason angel tattoos are quite popular. When you start looking for the angel tattoo pattern that fits your feeling about these spiritual creatures, the variety is large. You can find sweet peaceful angels, strong powerful archangels and even warrior angels who can live in that tattoo and defend your soul against spiritual evil.

Another reason people select an angel design for a tattoo is to create a connection to a loved one who may already be in that spiritual world. Your angel can serve as a connection between this world and the next and between you and that loved one. And while you will not be able to communication with him or her like you used to, just the comforting presence of that angel "on your shoulder" is a reminder that one day you will see that loved one again when you cross over to the next life too.

Now we know that there are lots of reasons you might want a tattoo other than spiritual satisfaction including to look good and to enjoy the popularity of tattoos right now. But because there are so many cool angel tattoo designs, you can have all of those priorities satisfied in one tattoo and you will have a constant spiritual companion and a really cool tat to show as well. In fact, an angel tattoo is another way of telling people who you really are and it may serve to connect you to other spiritual seekers. If so, that angel did her job of not only keeping you in communications with the spiritual world and "God" but of bringing you closer to other spiritual creatures right here and now. That means your angel is doing her job taking good care of you for sure.

Bearing The Image Of The Dragon

By James Beckett

If you go to any tattoo parlor to get ideas for the kind of tattoo you might get, its easy to notice the prevalence of dragons in the designs. But if you did some research or inquired a bit more, you would find out that the dragon tattoo designs you are most commonly seeing date back centuries into Chinese culture and come to us from that very old Asian country.

In western lore, the dragon is most commonly associated with King Arthur's times and our popular media has made dragons fun, silly and childlike. But in Chinese culture, dragons bear very deep spiritual and cultural meanings and the diversity and authority of dragons is rich with history and tradition.

While we in western cultures like to think we do not have a lot of mythological icons in our history, we really do. And we are the kind of people that love to observe the reverence and take part in the joy that ancient cultures such as exist in China have for a figure like the dragon. That is one great reason to think about getting a Chinese dragon tattoo. It comes with a lot of history and lore that make for great stories when people get curious about your tattoo.

Interestingly enough, while in our culture dragons are generally enemies for our wizards and knights to slay, in Chinese culture, the opposite is true. In that society, dragons are the protectors of children and those in need of a strong spiritual guardian similarly to how we see guardian angels in our culture. The role of the dragon in Chinese history goes as far back as the very first emperor or China, Huang Di. It is said that when he passed away, he actually became a dragon himself and flew into the heavens to become part of Chinese spiritual life forever. So it's easy to see why the dragon has become so special to the Chinese people and that they love to celebrate that image in many ways in their art and festivals.

There are many different types of Chinese dragons to choose from when you decide to incorporate this powerful image into a tattoo. If the dragon figure has horns, that means it is powerful. A heavenly dragon is a protector where the spiritual dragon controls the rain and weather and the yellow dragon brings knowledge and wisdom. So you can incorporate a value you wish to enshrine in your tattoo with the appropriate Chinese dragon who rules that area of life.

In many cultures, powerful mythical creatures like the Chinese dragon have influence over weather events and freak occurrences in nature. It seems that the Chinese dragon in particular has a strong connection with different aspects of water. So within the context of Chinese culture, the dragon has a lot of control over the seas and rivers and even over waterfalls. Water spouts are often said to represent the surge of the great dragon from his lair. What a wonderful and exciting tattoo image that would make.

You can see that you will have no trouble getting conversations going about your Chinese dragon tattoo and you will get plenty of compliments on your tat because these patterns are so often elegant, classy and beautiful. When you browse the tattoo parlors, you will notice that there are dozens of Chinese dragon patterns in every imaginable situation and position. So you could chose a benevolent dragon enjoying a festival with the people, an angry dragon snarling at an enemy, a playful dragon crouched and ready or a sleeping dragon blessing us with his peace. Whatever design you pick, the chances are it will be a tat that has a special personality of its own and not one you will see duplicated very often if ever.

When considering a Chinese dragon tattoo, it's obvious because they are so artistic and gorgeous that you will want this tattoo to be in a place of honor such as your stomach, your calf, your back or your chest so it can be easily seen an admired. For the men, a Chinese dragon that is the perfect expression of strength and confidence is perfect. For the ladies, an elegant design that is as beautiful and artistic will assure that your dragon tattoo will also fit wonderfully with your fashion choices and give you great colors to coordinate with your outfits and accessories. This variety combined with the rich lore and history is without a doubt the reason that the Chinese dragon tattoo pattern has become one of the most popular forms of body art there is.

The Perfect Female Tattoo?

By James Beckett

One of the fun things about tattoos is seeing other people check them out. Sometimes that tattoo is only for a sweetheart or someone who can see it in a private location on your body. And other times you want that tattoo out for the world to see because it says something about you or makes a philosophical statement for the world to know about. That is why it's good to do some research and find out the meaning and cultural significance of many of the popular tattoo designs that we have to choose from.

Seeing a fascinating tattoo on someone naturally makes you want to find out more about the design and what it means to that person. And when someone uses an oriental design, those patterns are so exotic and beautiful that people naturally are drawn to learn the meaning of the tattoo. So of the many oriental tattoo patterns to choose from, the orange blossom is one that meets our goal of being stunning to look at and rich with meaning and symbolism as well.

The cherry blossom is a beautiful choice for a feminine tattoo for a lady. Tattoos for girls can be a delightful decorative statement and the cherry blossom fits that description well. In Chinese culture the cherry blossom is a symbol of femininity, sexuality and strength. So by displaying a tattoo of the cherry blossom, not only is the tattoo itself visually appealing, it's a gentle statement of womanhood, independence mixed with the femininity and sexuality that is what it means to be a woman.

When we add the symbolism that the Japanese culture puts on the orange blossom, the pattern becomes a great choice for guys or gals because in Japan the orange blossom speaks of the spiritual and philosophical hunger of a seeker of truth. In nature, the orange blossom is perfect but only for few days and as such it's a perfect artistic symbol of how short the beauty of life is and that we all must value every day we are given of this wonderful world.

Tattoos are aptly called body art because they are often very artistic. And a cherry blossom tattoo has what it takes to be true art including beauty and deep meaning that can take the viewer into new realms of reflection. From Japanese lore, the cherry blossom that lies on the ground is a symbol of how quickly the beauty of youth passes. And in many expressions of art, the simple image of an orange blossom in the snow can be moving and symbolic of the changes of life, the transience of youth but the hope of new life each spring. By using the orange blossom design, your body art inherits all of that symbolism.

Another unique image of beauty and power of male youth is the artistic presentation of the Japanese warrior. No wonder in museums we so often see the striking image of the powerful soldier or warrior shown in artistic form. In oriental art, the orange blossom is the symbolic equivalent of the beauty of the strength of young men because the blossom bursts into the world boldly and courageously full knowing its time of perfection will quickly pass.

Because the orange blossom is such a simple and elegant statement of fallen youth, it is often a way of honoring the passing of a particular youth, perhaps a young person whose time on earth was too short. But another approach to this use of the orange blossom tattoo is to honor ones own youth which was beautiful and delightful for a short time and then it too "passed away" to yield to the gentle beauty of age.

One reason getting a tattoo is such an adventure for many of us is that there are so many great patterns to choose from. And as we develop our list of choices for that next tat, the orange blossom pattern is a great candidate to make your short list because it is so deeply symbolic and a great design for men and women alike. As a woman's tattoo, it's tasteful and stunningly pretty while making a statement of your womanhood. And for a man, the orange blossom is a way of connecting to the warrior in you in an artistic and symbolic way as well.

Girl Tattoo Designs: Tips for Getting the Right Design

By Reese Lanter

It's easy to find girl tattoo designs in online tattoo galleries and catalogs. Knowing where to find the right tattoo is not so much of an issue, therefore, as compared to knowing how to choose or pick the right one for you. Here are some basic tips for finding the design that you would love to keep for the rest of your life.

Know What You Want

Tattoo should be more than skin-deep. Remember that tattoos will stay on your skin forever. You should pick a design that you personally want and that is significant to you. Do take note though that various designs may not have the same universal meaning as you would think. Flowers for example are definitely feminine but some particular kinds of flowers may also signify jealousy, flirtatiousness, unfaithfulness and folly. You can ask an experienced tattoo artist for design definitions. You can also research for them online. Decide on a design only when you like it very much and you know what it means.

Pick the Right Spot

There are no hard and fast rules for body tattoo placement. Some parts of the body however are more ideal than others. Your choice of tattoo spot will depend on your particular purpose for wearing the tattoo. If you want something that can be seen, then you can settle for arm or facial tattoos. If you wan to be more discreet, then you can choose spots that can be hidden by choice. These include the lower back, foot and inner wrist.

Some areas on the body are also more common compared to others. These areas include the lower back and the arms. If you want to be more original, you can choose to have a tattoo on the foot, although this may hurt more than usual.

Size Matters

Girl tattoo designs come in all shapes and sizes. There is however, a big difference between designs for males and females. Those for ladies are almost always smaller than their male counterparts. There are big designs for women. These however are typically more delicate, dainty and refined. Tattoo artists may recommend designs for you but the final decision is always yours. If you want a tattoo that will make you seem more feminine, then opt for scaled down designs.

Get the Tattoo for Yourself

Get a tattoo because you want to. Getting one because someone else wants you to is never an option. You have to be certain that your permanent body symbol is your personal choice. This is especially important because tattoos are not universally appreciated. Some people tend to view tattooed women as tramps or sluts. If you make getting a tattoo a personal decision, you wouldn't worry too much about criticisms.

Pay for a Good Artist

The final key to the right design is the artist. Reputable artists will always beg off from a design that is not feasible. They will also carefully counsel you about a bad design or tattoo spot location. You should settle for an artist who is experienced but who can be honest with you.

You just can't pass up great girl tattoo designs. You should always be careful with your design choices though. Make sure you get your design right the first time. A botched up tattoo may be hard to fix.

Jay Strongwater: More Than Jewelry

By Fabian Toulouse

In 1981, Jay Feinberg, a twenty-one year old sophomore, stayed his mother's hand as she was about to purchase a necklace. He wanted to design something especially for her. A trip to the local craft store yielded some big macram beads, black, and gold paint. He made for his mother a series of necklaces which she wore about town. When a boutique owner liked the jewelry and requested some pieces for her shop, a career was begun!

Jay Feinberg spent his summer making the big, colorful jewelry that characterized the 1980s. He finally took his creations to "Open Days" at the higher end New York department stores and soon had many orders for his work. He quit school and pursued his new calling, landing an important position working with Oscar de la Renta making jewelry to be worn by his beautiful models.

Opening up a partnership under his own name, the business closed and Jay Feinberg lost the right to produce his work under his own name! Taking his mother's maiden name, he went on to make it famous: today Jay Strongwater's work is known and sought after globally.

Selecting a Designer Diamond Jewelry

By Clinton Maxwell

When it comes to buying designer diamond jewelry, then there are many options open for you. But like any thing else there are certain designers, whose designed diamond jewelries are more worthwhile than others. It is their designs, which we are going to discuss further in more details.

Best Options In Designer Diamond Jewelry

Tiffany is the first name that comes in mind when we think about buying designer diamond jewelry. Based in United States, Tiffany is a Jewelry and Silverware company. Two friends - Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young, formed this company in the year of 1837 in New York City, New York.

The goodwill is this company is because of their good quality and elegant designer diamond jewelry, of which they offer quite lot collections. Jewelries made by Tiffany are the first choice of many celebrities, and the company's name is mentioned a lot in television shows and films.

Having just been to the mall to buy a keurig one cup coffee maker, I came across Kay Jewelers. In this field, Kay Jewelers is another company whose name is very famous for designing finely crafted diamond jewelry. It is really significant that for decades, they have sustained the position as one of the leading brands in the United States. They are a division of Sterling Jewelry Inc., and together with are Signet Group, their London based parent company. They are known as the largest retail jewelry in the whole world. Another reason why they are so appreciated, is their fully commitment for providing a superior shopping experience, both in their stores spread worldwide and also online.

Things You Should Keep In Mind While Buying Diamond Jewelry

Not considering the designer's tag or the company from where you are interested to buy your diamond jewelry, there are a few things that you should take into consideration before getting into the purchase procedure. When you are in a jewelry showroom for buying designer diamond jewelry, you would feel as if you are in between a cluster of glittering stars. At this time, it is really very difficult to find the right one out of so many. In such condition, the best way to choose is by comparing in between the quality, price and service provided by different companies.

You should also check a company very well before buying anything from them, and this means asking about the company's refund and return policy. Checking for the hallmark of the company on all the metal jewelry is very important as it specifies the genuineness of the jewelry. Also make sure that the jeweler writes all the important details of the jewelry such as gem's weight or the gem's carat on the sales receipt.

When you are confused about the new jewelry stores around you and really bored of the kind of designs your familiar companies manufacture, then it will be a good idea to go through organizations such as the Better Business Bureau. They will provide you the all the important details about the company, such as its reputation in the market, history and the type of customers usually visit them.

The Brilliance of Yellow Sapphires

By Andrew W John

Belonging to the corundum family, which is a form of crystal aluminum oxide, yellow sapphires and their equally showy cousins are really something to behold. Yellow sapphires are as rare as are other color variants among the sapphire family - in fact, many are unaware that these colors can exist in these stones. When iron is present in the aluminum oxide crystal forming a sapphire, a yellow sapphire is the result.

Playing second fiddle only to the diamond on the Mohs scale (weighing in at 9), all sapphires are extremely hard gems. Yellow sapphires, just like other fancy sapphires are beautiful and rare as they are strong. A yellow sapphire stands up well to wear and tear while losing none of its luster. It has been somewhat easier to find these stones in recent times as they become more popular in jewelry.

Yellow sapphires are mined in eastern Africa (Tanzania), and on the isles of Madagascar and Sri Lanka. Synthetic sapphires are becoming more and more common nowadays because of the rising popularity of these gems and their relative rarity in mines. Synthetic sapphires are no less a "true" sapphire than those mined, and have all of the luster and properties of those from underground, but are a bit cheaper.

Price depends on on the color, size and clarity of the gems. The cut of the gem is also an important element in determining price. A stone which has been expertly cut will sparkle, even out of the sunlight. Mined stones will be more expensive than synthetics and stones that have been heat treated (this enhances their color).

Reputedly, yellow sapphires will bring people together and create friendships. Other properties are said to include sharpening the mind, bringing luck in business and improving depression. In folk medicine traditions, the lungs and liver are said to benefit. There are also traditions bearing on where a yellow sapphire ring should be worn, though this is generally disregarded these days.

Many people find the sunny color of this gemstone lends an air of elegance to jewelry. It doesn't matter if it is mounted in gold or silver the regal sight of a yellow gem makes one think of royalty. Yellow sapphires are no different. Yellow sapphire rings especially catch the eye as they sparkle with each movement of the hand. If you're looking for a very special, unique engagement ring, a yellow sapphire may be the perfect choice. It is a stone that you don't see very often, and should garner compliments everywhere you go.

If you don't yet have a yellow sapphire in your jewelry collection, get one. This beautiful gem is just too unique to pass by.

If you are looking for a special and unique piece of jewelry, consider yellow sapphire rings. These are truly spectacular gemstone beauties that will make all your friends envious.

Buying Modern Designer Jewelry can Change your Life!

By Jack Blacksmith

Many separate events have changed and influenced the designs that modern jewelry designers produce. If you look at these designs carefully you may notice their inspiration from other world events. If you look at jewelry around a century ago you may notice that the designs were influenced by the atom bomb. There are many star burst and diamond spray designs available at this time.

Jewelry For Daytime And Nighttime Use

If you are interested in buying some modern designer gold jewelry that you can wear in the daytime you may want to look at mesh, Florentine finish and foxtail chains. Another popular form of daytime jewelry is a simple but elegant string of pearls around your neck. Cultured pearls were particularly popular throughout the 50's.

The sixties saw very different designer jewelry being created. Quite often hybrid jewelry were the post poplar and fashionable. As well as gold, platinum and diamonds silver and gemstones came into fashion. The jewelry design was influenced by flower power, the stones were brilliantly cut, abstract and interesting designs became more popular. A lot of jewelry was made from metals without any stones. The meaning of a lot of jewelry changed during that period and saw the evolution of many different types of engagement rings.

Nothing stays in fashion forever, trends will change every now and again.In the seventies the focus was on the women's movement, this changed what women wanted to buy. The jewelry in this period was much more personalized, exactly how women wanted them. New materials were commonly being used for jewelry including wood, crystals, coral and ivory. This made a nice change to the precious stones and metals of the previous eras.

The eighties and nineties saw people getting more prosperous, in this period designer jewelry became more glamorous and extravagant. The jewelry in these periods were shiny and sparkly. You'll notice another change in style when princess Diana got married, at this time sophisticated elegant jewelry was popular.

Since the new millennium designer jewelry has become popular in hybrid and also using semi-precious stones and metals. New techniques has been developed to create beautiful pieces of multicolored jewelry using diamonds and pearls. PMC (Precious Metal Clay) is used to create jewelry along with synthetic gemstones. These synthetic materials allow designers to create unique designs that are interesting.

I can't wait to see what will happen next in the jewelry design world, it's continually evolving and changing every day. The only thing to do is wait and see what happens.

Girl Tattoo Design: What Designs Mean

By Reese Lanter

A girl tattoo design differs greatly from men's designs. With women's tattoo, you can't just pick a design based solely on your personal preference. The first thing you have to look into is the tattoo meaning. A tattoo may look cool, cute or exquisite but you wouldn't want to get stuck with a tattoo that isn't significant to you. In worse cases, some people get stuck with tattoos that have negative meanings. Here are some designs that you might want to consider:

- Floral designs typically symbolize femininity. You should be careful though because different flowers may have different meanings. Roses for example can have a variety of significances ranging from love to infidelity depending on the flower color.

- Stars are also common designs for females. They can however also carry a variety of meanings. Nautical stars typically give off the message of purpose and direction or the love for the sea. Other star designs are simply reflective of childish fantasies or hopes and wishes.

- Female's lower back would look awesome with tribal designs. A horizontal swirl of tribal designs can accentuate the sexy curves of a woman's back. Be careful though. Some tribal designs are created by artists with no particular meaning. Others however are taken from real tribes like the Maori, Polynesian and Native American tribes. Your girl tattoo design may carry a particular tribal significance that you may not be aware of.

- Some designs have more obvious meanings. Angels and crosses for example could communicate religious faith.

- Characters from foreign alphabets are quite popular. You can have a Japanese or Chinese character that stands for love, friendship, power and many more. It is very important though that you get artists who can really read these characters. You can also opt for translators who can help you with making the design. It is not uncommon for foreign characters to have a few missing parts here and there and end up meaning something else.

- There are also animal designs to choose from. Sleek felines like a puma, cheetah or leopard would look great on women who want to exude strength and empowerment. Butterflies however are an absolute favorite due to their delicate features.

- Fantasy designs for women's tattoo have also been around for ages. They seem to have become even more popular these days because of famous fantasy shows and movies. Typical fantasy designs are fairies and unicorns. Other designs however may carry a more powerful meaning. The phoenix for example almost always means rebirth and rising from the ashes again.

- You could also have your own designs. Some artists would be more than willing to come up with designs that stem from your own personal experience. A personal code between you and a significant other and the face of your baby are some examples. This is the safest tattoo design option because you are sure of what it means. On the other hand, a tattoo artist may charge extra for the design. Making the design may also take some time.

Choosing a girl tattoo design should be a personal choice. It is important to remember though that you should know exactly why you would want a particular design. The significance of your tattoo matters a lot. It contributes to the impact of your tattoo.

Girl Foot Tattoo: Finding the Right Design For You

By Reese Lanter

Girl foot tattoo is becoming more and more popular with women these days. The foot is definitely one of the most unique place where you can sport a tattoo. Just like any other tattoo though, getting a foot tattoo is a major decision. Here are some important points that you should know about foot tattoos.

The Benefits of a Foot Tattoo

You may have your own reasons for getting a foot tattoo. You might still be unsure though about the advisability of getting a foot tattoo. Why would the foot be a great place for a tattoo? One major reason for this is that they aren't as common as lower back and arm tattoos for women. Although foot tattoos are gradually becoming popular, they are still comparatively uncommon. Getting a foot tattoo will make you feel more unique than other tattooed individuals.

Compared to other areas, foot tattoos are also less obvious. This is important for some people who want to keep their tattoos discreet. You may want for example to have a tattoo of something significant but do not want to flash it outright for the whole world to see. A foot tattoo would therefore be perfect. You can have a small design that you can show or hide at your own discretion.

Girl Foot Tattoo Disadvantages

Not all tattoo artists would consider doing foot tattoos. This is because there can be a couple of hitches to foot tattoos. This is also most likely why the foot isn't as popular as other tattoo sites. One major concern is that the ink on foot tattoos tends to spread, scatter or blur faster than those on other tattoos. You may have to get your tattoo re-inked more often than other tattoos.

Tattoos on the foot are also generally more painful. This is because of the foot's flesh being close to capillaries and bones. Unless you haven't noticed yet, most tattoos are located in areas with a lot of flesh. This minimizes the pain during the tattooing process. The pain of a foot tattoo can actually extend beyond the actual process. It shouldn't be a surprise to you if you feel some discomfort while using your feet.

Aside from pain, you have to think of recovery. It can make more than two weeks for a foot tattoo to heal. In this span of time, the tattoo has to be kept dry and clean. You also have to avoid getting your tattoo rubbed. This is very difficult to do with a foot tattoo. You may have to spend the entire time away from closed shoes.

Precautions

These challenges should not stop you from getting a foot tattoo, though. If you are really bent on it then the best thing that you can do is to find an experienced tattoo artist. Remember that not everyone does foot tattoos. You should therefore pick one who knows how to do it properly and with the least pain possible. You could also settle for smaller designs. These would be ideal for feminine feet. You would also have to deal with less pain and blurring.

Getting a girl foot tattoo is truly exciting. You have to be sure though that you are absolutely willing and ready to meet the unique concerns of a foot tattoo.

Affordable Ugg Boots - Where to get them from?

By Allison Thompson

This footwear originates from Australia but has become very popular the world over today. The reason for their popularity is that many of us see celebrities wearing them no matter their age. However as with anything worn by celebrities the world over today they come at a price.

All the same, if you were to implement a quick look for them on the internet you'd be capable of finding a pair for yourself at a fraction of the cost that you'd normally have to pay for them.

Although the pair of boots you are being offered at a price at somewhat less than you would pay at your local retail outlet. It is important to remember that they won't all be original versions of the boot. Rather these are likely to be counterfeit of imitation versions of the Ugg Boots you see the celebrities wearing.

The best way of buying a pair of original Ugg boots is by looking at the more reputable sites especially when they have end of season sales in place. By doing this you are more likely to be able to get hold of a pair of genuine ones as a good discounted price.

Likewise by going to one of the numerous website shops that today feature these boots on their site at an affordable price. They'll usually inform you whether the boots being bought is authentic or an imitation. A number of these websites you'll find in reality act as an affiliate for the company who make the boots such as "Ugg Australia" (this means that they've the right to sell these boots on their site).

A different way you could possibly get a pair of these really coveted boots is by exploring an online auction web site. Even so, once more be mindful that not all the boots being sold on websites such as these are authentic and there's some potential for these to be counterfeit ones. If you are unsure about whether they are genuine or not, then I'd advise you you not purchase them.

When it does come time for you to purchase your Ugg boots, whether from an auction site or online store then take a close look at their guarantee and returns policies. If you don't want to be left with a pair of boots you dislike or are unhappy with then find out whether you can return them and either replace them or get a refund. Therefore spend a little time investigating the seller of the item in question further before you make that all important purchase.

By keeping the preceding rules of thumb in mind hopefully you should be able to arrive at a more educated decision as to whom you will be purchasing your new Ugg boots from.

Modern Jewelry giving Spiritual Protection

By David R.

In the last few decades modern jewelry designers have been very aware of the events occuring in the world and they have made special designs inspired by those events. We only have to think about the first atomic bomb. This event has inspired modern jewelry designers into the creation of jewelry reflecting starbursts and sprays of diamonds. Jewelry design also implies taking in account the time of day or night when the jewelry is being worn. Daytime usually reflects gold jewelry while during the evening and night diamonds are the preferred choice

Jewelry you can use during the day and others for the night

So, if you are interested in gold jewelry items that incorporate a modern designer jewelry look and is worn in the daytime, you would find many Florentine finishes and mesh as well as foxtail chains and many other similar designs, while another alternative for daytime use is a string of cultured pearls that were most representative of modern designer jewelry that was most popular during the fifties.

The colorful sixties marked a radical change in the use of materials by jewelry designers. Instead of using the traditional diamonds, gold and platinum these modern jewelry designers also started to make use of less noble materials like gemstones, silver, geode crystals and even regular metals like steel or copper. Women started to use these hybrid jewels because of their colorful designs

Trends are known to change very often so in the seventies the jewelry designs were influenced and inspired by the blooming of feminism and the womens movement. This lead to a complete different type of jewelry designs. Women started to have a major influence on the designing of jewelry because they expressed their likes and dislikes. Jewelry started to look as they wanted by incorporating new materials like wood, ivory, rock crystals and coral.

In the eighties and beginning of the nineties people tended to become more affluent which was noted by the jewelry designers and they started to create more glamorous, sparkling and glitzy styles of jewelry. When the princess of Wales, Lady Di wedded there was again an obvious change in the creation of designs , shifting to a more elegant and graceful touch.

From that moment until today there have been many changes in modern jewelry design especially the incorporation of synthetic materials, non-precious metals, hybrid metals, metal clay, PMC, synthetic gemstones, the coloring of pearls and multicolored diamonds. These new designs of the 21st century are more unique and special than ever before.

From ancient time when man started to be aware of it`s presence on this world and the acknowledgment of the existence of supreme powers the jewelry designers of old have produced amulets, talismans, jewelry for protection and sacred jewelry in many different forms and designs. This tradition of creating Spiritual Jewelry has never disappeared. Even today modern jewelry designers still make spiritual jewelry based on the ancient traditions. This spiritual jewelry is made to offer protection and blessings from God and Nature and their unique designs are precious and a worthy alternative to more classic designs.

Girl Back Tattoo: Highlighting Your Lower Back

By Reese Lanter

Girl back tattoo are in fashion these days. It's understandable if you would want one yourself. Having your own back tattoo however has advantages and disadvantages. Before you decide to get one, you should know these particular concerns. After all, you want to be permanently happy with your tattoo. You don't want to regret getting it.

Lower Back Tattoo

There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to tattoo placement on women's back. Women can choose to have any spot on their back tattooed. One good area would be the upper left or right shoulder. Tattoos on these areas can be easily appreciated by others when you wear sleeveless or off shoulder shirts. It cannot be denied though that even with these great back tattoo area options, the lower part of the back is still the most popular spot. When it comes to female back tattoos, a lot of women simply opt for tailbone tattoos.

Advantages

A lot of people simply love female tailbone tattoos. The lower back or tailbone is undeniably a sensual spot in the female body. Its natural curve and shape make it an area to drool over. Having a tattoo in this particular spot can highlight one's sexiness. The impression of sensuality is made even more distinct when a woman wears the right clothing. Low rise jeans and a tank top or baby tee can make you an absolute eye-catcher.

Choosing to put your girl back tattoo on the tailbone also has a practical side to it. Tattoos on this area are least likely to shrink, stretch and become skewed due to fluctuations in weight or skin quality. You can also easily hide a tailbone tattoo if you no longer feel like displaying it as much.

Disadvantages

A tattoo on the lower back may sound like the best choice for women's tattoo. There are however, a couple of disadvantages to it. The most major disadvantage is the negative impression that some people have for it. Although a number of individuals truly appreciate lower back tattoos, there are also some that call it tramp stamps. A number of men and women think these tattoos are trashy and indicative of loose behavior. This is despite that fact that many women of clean reputations choose this tattoo spot.

Think twice before you decide to get one. Your own strong personal preference is the only thing that can make you tough enough to face possible criticism. You should get a lower back tattoo first and foremost for yourself and not for someone else. You could regret the decision of getting a tailbone tattoo if you are only partially convinced that you want it.

Designs

Designs on the this kind of tattoo are limitless. The most popular are floral and tribal designs. These designs typically take a horizontal position on the lower back. This common position serves to highlight the curves of the back even more.

Other designs include Aztec, Celtic, hearts, wings and foreign scripts. You can also opt for a single flower, butterfly or a design of your own to be tattooed at the center or sides of the lower back.

A girl back tattoo is excellent for the woman's back curves. You have to be sure though that you are completely comfortable with the idea of a lower back tattoo.

Cubic Zirconia Jewelry: Creating Your Own and Designing the Shape

By Cebza Maseko

Creating your own jewelry can sound like a much more difficult process than it actually is. It will take some work, patience and resolve on your part to get the project through to completion. Now let's look at some of the steps to creating your own cubic zirconia jewelry.

You have to decide the type of materials you want to use. The stone color(s) you want and the type of metal. Gold or silver metal may be a little more expensive than you want to spend for you first effort at making jewelry. You may want to start off making your first attempts in something cheaper. Get the mistakes out of the way before you progress to the gold, silver or platinum stages. Stainless steel would be a good choice of a material to use on your first attempt to making your own cubic zirconia jewelry.

Gather all the materials you will need to make your piece of jewelry. If you need to make a list, don't start making your piece of jewelry until you have all the materials you need all together. You will hate getting to the "good part", so to speak, and have to stop because you forgot one item. Double or even triple checking all the materials is a good way to insure you have everything you need.

Designing the shape of your cubic zirconia

If you choose to have a piece of cubic zirconia jewelry custom-made, with a design of your own creation or a design chosen from a designer, you will want to choose the right cut of stone to enhance the design. A cubic zirconia stone will come in the same type of cuts you will see in a diamond. Diamond cutters are always trying to come up with new and unique cuts for the stones. These listed below are the most popular cuts of diamonds, gemstones and cubic zirconia.

Radiant/Emerald - The radiant and the emerald are two different cuts, but a similar in various ways. They are both cut into a rectangle shape. They both have a very classic look about them. However, the radiant cut was not invented until sometime in the 1970s. The emerald cut had started loosing it's popularity in the early 1970s. The radiant cut has more complex cuts in the stone for the maximum reflection of light and brilliance.

Heart - The heart is a frivolous fun creation. The heart shape stones have been used in many different settings of earrings, necklaces and rings. Recently it has become more popular in rings especially engagement rings.

So when choosing cubic zirconia jewelry, you will have these stones to pick from as well as some unique cuts not mentioned here. Choose jewelry to enhance your style whether it is one of the well known cuts or a unique cut only owned and worn by you.

Steps To Take to Clean Your Ugg Boots Properly

By Allison Thompson

For all of us who now own a pair of Ugg Boots the biggest challenge we face is keeping them looking as good as the day we brought them. Hopefully the tips that we provide in this article will help to ensure that the Ugg Boots you own look as great as the day you first put them on.

As owners of Ugg Boots know these boots are extremely comfortable and so will wear them almost constantly. But the problem with wearing any kind of footwear constantly is that they are going to get dirty. So it is important that you know how to clean them. One such way of cleaning Ugg Boots is through using a cleaning producing which has been specially formulated for cleaning sueded and leather products.

The biggest problem that may stop you from buying such a cleaning product is the price. Certainly some of the ones that are advertised for use by boot makers can be extremely expensive. So rather than waste money on these we provide a number of steps to clean your Ugg Boots and ensure that they stay looking as good as they day they came out of the box.

Step 1 - You need to very lightly dampen the outside of the boot with some cold water. It is important that at no stage do you fully immerse them in water. Immersing them in water not only affects the lining of the boot inside but will also cause the boot to become misshaped.

Step 2 - Now you need to dilute a solution of cleaner that is appropriate for use on leather material. You should mix one part cleaning solution to one part water and then apply this over the boots using a wet sponge.

Step 3- Each time you apply some of the diluted cleaning solution on to the boot you should then immediately wipe it off using a sponge which has been placed in a bowl of cold water in order to rinse the solution off.

Step 4 - After you have finished the above steps you now need to take some paper towels and stuff these into the boots. You can if you wish use newspaper instead as long as you stuff in enough so that the boots shape is retained. Then place them in a place to dry. Do not leave them either in direct sunlight or close to a heat source.

Step 5 - Once your Ugg boots have dried out completely you now take either a suede brush or a towel that is lint free and use this to restore the nap on the outside of the boot. If you want to deodorize the inside of your boot take 2 tsp of baking powder and 2 tspn of corn flour and sprinkle inside the boot. Shake the boots around then let them stand over night before you shake out any excess.

Cycling Jerseys: A Popular Secret

By Fabian Toulouse

Cycling as a sport has been around for over a century. Almost as soon as bikes were invented, biking fans began challenging one another. The 1890's saw a sudden jump in the popularity of racing, and the era became known as the "Golden Age of Cycling." Huge events were held in the U.S. and Europe, and nearly all large cities had a velodrome for bike races. Everyone wanted a bicycle, and this newfangled means of transportation became a major form of recreation.

Today, cycling is still a huge sport as well as a means of transportation in many cities around the globe. Cycling races are popular, though comparatively not as followed in the U.S. as it is in other nations. The Tour de France, first held in 1903, however, has lately captured the attention of Americans thanks largely to the success of champion cyclist Lance Armstrong.

One of the trademarks of cycling is the bright, streamlined cycling jersey worn by racers. Adopted by cycling enthusiasts everywhere, these jerseys are made of state of the art fabric and hug the body, creating no wind resistance. The smooth silhouette accentuates cyclists' chiseled torsos.

There are hundreds of jersey designs available to both recreational and professional cyclists. There are cool "old school" jerseys available from Castelli, DeMarchi, and other companies, collegiate jerseys from colleges worldwide, and jerseys representing professional racing teams from all over.

Though cycling jerseys were designed for racers, they are commonly seen on riders just out for a spin on a Saturday afternoon. The comfort these form fitting jerseys provide has established their popularity among riders of all types.

What Are The Latest Ugg Styles?

By Allison Thompson

Now that spring is almost here Uggs Australia have chosen this time to release some great new styles. As you will soon find that, many of the latest Ugg styles that they are introducing are far removed from the traditional style of boot that this company produces. As you will soon discover Uggs have brought out a range of styles including wedges, ballet flats, sandals and espadrilles for you to buy.

Below we look at the three new styles of shoes that Uggs have produced and which are already gaining in popularity even though they have been released for a shortwhile. Of these three styles the cheapest pair costs no more than $30 and the others will cost you no more than $100.

The first pair that we are going to take a look at are those that come in the Amelie range. This is a beautiful of Espadrilles, which can add further height to any woman who wears them. The shoes themselves are made from suede and rope and although not fully lined with sheepskin they have this in the forefoot the shoe. So when they are being worn they feel extremely comfortable just like any Ugg shoes or boots normally feel.

The Amelie comes in a variety of different colors and you can select from either black, blue, chocolate, cream or my personal preference dusty rose. Each pair of shoes also comes with a long linen lace that allows you to choose exactly how you want to wear them. These style will look just right either with a long or short skirt or dress as well as with jeans.

The next latest style of shoes that Ugg have recently released and which we are looking at is the Florance range. This is a unique looking kind of ballet shoe and the upper part has been made from suede. The actual sole of the shoe is made from leather, however to provide it with good traction when being worn they have inserted a rubber Ugg Sun logo into it.

As with all Uggs shoes you have a number of different colors of shoes to choose from and they also have the same tie on the front as you would normally see on the front of a traditional pair of ballet shoes. The colors that you can select from are either black, cream, chocolate or blush. But which ever color you choose you are sure to find them a joy to wear.

The final latest style of Uggs that we are now going to be looking at and which are the cheapest of all t he pairs mentioned in this article are called the Fluffie. These although much cheaper than the other shoes mentioned offer you the same high quality luxury and comfort that is synonymous with the Ugg name. But if you are looking for the shoes that everyone must have and wants this spring then the Fluffie is the one. You have a wide variety of color choices to choose from so you may find it a little difficult deciding which pair are best for you.

Discount Area Rugs From the Cradle of Civilization

By JD Theis

Although Oriental Rugs and Discount Area Rugs from Europe have a similar long history, that's where the things they have in common end. The experts suggest that this is not because the techniques are so vastly different between these rugs and their makers, but because each of these cultures has a very different idea of what makes up a nice decorative effect.

Spanish Examples: Some of the finest examples of the earliest area rugs come from places like Spain. Historians have evidence of carpet workshops dating back to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. A regulatory body was later instituted in Madrid that cut away from the social customs and norms that had been found previously in many of the discount area rugs of the time and a new European influence was born. In other European countries like France the first reasons to place emphasis on area rugs was economic. Although these first French masters attempted to set out and imitate the oriental rugs of the day, what they produced were a completely different version of the discount area rugs that were more akin to the ones we see today.

English Input: There were some area rugs made in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and because the earlier examples they worked from were imported , they were called Turkey works. Italy, on the other hand, took a different approach when it came to discount area rugs. The country was at the center of the Oriental Carpet Trade from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century. To this day there is a popular tradition of hand made carpets that exists today in Italy.

Finland has a tradition in discount area rugs that is refereed to as the Ryas, and these are the work of local artisans. The geometric and floral designs are rooted in the ancient traditions of the people there, and Finnish discount area rugs is a tradition that is virtually untouched by outside influences. As well, since the beginning of the sixteenth century there has been a tradition of embroidered discount area rugs in Europe that are both hand woven and machine woven.

Of course, the best of these discount area rugs have found their way to the modern world and North America and nowhere is this better demonstrated than with the Oriental Weavers Sphinx Collections and particularity the Artworks Area Rugs. These area rugs all boast geometric designs and looping patterns that will look great in any home.

Useful Cheap Area Rugs

By JD Theis

Although there isn't really a thorough way of finding out, experts believe that cheap area rugs were first invented by tent dwellers that were trying to keep the cold out. So, right from the start of their history, area rugs were useful. Like any in the past that had a purpose, those rugs later became a fashion statement as well. Back then, the whole family could roll up in them at bedtime and protect themselves against the chill of the night. Even the modern day designers have caught on to the insulating properties of cheap area rugs. They suggest the area rug is a perfect way to trap small pockets of warm air either on the floor or the wall.

Additionally, cheap area rugs protect the users from undue noise, especially where the person might have unprotected floors. City dwellers have long known that area rugs protect against noise complaints from neighbors. Cheap area rugs also serve another useful purpose that many people may not be aware of and that's to soften the sharp angles and textures of many modern homes. Of course many of us are familiar with the benefits of using cheap area rugs in sleeping areas as well. Many of us have known the benefit of a nice area rug beside the bed on a cold night when we need to get up to go to the washroom or get a drink of water.

Cheap Area Rugs also define space. In the modern home, the decision on what kind of cheap area rug to use is determined by many factors including personal preferences. A sturdy area rug can be used more for the season when the family schedule is more active, and it can be replaced by a more delicate rug in times with lighter traffic. Once you've decided on the type of function that you want the area rug to provide, then it's time to think about the designs on the cheap area rugs themselves. Remember that nature is one of the richest design resources and that plants birds and animals have appeared in area rugs designed throughout the centuries. Even paintings and sculptures can be reproduced in rug designs.

One of the best places to find these cheap area rugs designs is the Chandra Collection and specifically the Aadi cheap area rugs that are part of that division. These rugs all take 100% wool into a hand loomed construction and all these rugs display the Woolmark seal of approval.

Be Careful when Buying Designer Jewelry

By Rob Carlton

Most people would understand the frustration of ordering something only to find out that you've got something that's not as good as you imagined. With the internet it's even easier than before to order something that's completely different to what you wanted. Jewelry can quite easily be copied and imitated.

Designer jewelry can be very expensive, imitation jewelry can be designed to imitate this and is quite cheap. It could also be sold as fake jewelry, in other words pretending to be something that it's not. You must be careful when buying jewelry, otherwise you could end up buying something that isn't worth as much as you've paid.

Beware when buying

Everybody is out to make money, it's important to be aware of what you are buying and be careful. This is especially important when shopping for jewelry, you must be careful not to buy junk. You should be careful that you don't get conned into spending hundreds of dollars on something that is useless. You've worked too hard to earn your money just to let it slip through your fingers on expensive products.

You should not simply assume that just because the shop has been established for a number of years that they don't sell fake products. You should carefully inspect the pieces of jewelry to make sure that they have hallmarks on them. Buying from brand name stores can be a good way to ensure that everything is ok.

You should check the company name with the Better Business Bureau, this will help you avoid any scams. You should spend time checking otherwise you could end up spending lots of money on fake jewelry.

Checking the business credentials is especially important when shopping online. When you shop online it's even more risky than shopping at shops. You may struggle to return any products you buy from the internet, plus as you can't see the product it's easier to get conned. You could well end up finding that a piece of jewelry that you think is gold is actually made from base metals and plastic. If you are buying from an auction website then you should be extremely careful.

The trouble is that if jewelry becomes popular and in fashion there is more temptation to copy and imitate expensive jewelry. This makes it more difficult to find genuine jewelry.
