Published by in Ankle bracelets, Bracelets, Jewelry on May 14th, 2012

In the coming months you are going to start seeing a lot more sunshine and a boost in the temperature. Soon you are going to want to make a few trips to the seashore for the boardwalk or the beach and when you do you need to look at least somewhat stylish. Sure, you can wear your bathing suit or jean shorts with flip flops but you are going to want to look a little unique, right? That’s where anklets come in.

Ankle bracelets are a great accessory for warm weather because they are loose fitting and comfortable. They add an extra layer of flair to an otherwise simple outfit and they make you stand out just enough to be considered an individual.

And the other great thing is that many anklets comes with an easy clasp so you can take them off to go in the water or to scoop your feet in the warm sand. Simply unclasp it and put it in your bag for safe keeping until you’re ready to wear it for dinner or drinks out with your friends later that night.

They make excellent spring and summer accessories too because they aren’t heavy.They come in very light-fitting designs that won’t scrape your ankle or feel too hot and they won’t cause chafing from being too tight.

Enjoy the wide selection of ankle bracelets at the Heavenly Treasures online store.

Jewelry For Mother’s Day

Published by in Bracelets, charm bracelets, Jewelry, Necklaces, Rings on May 8th, 2012

What Mom doesn’t love getting gifts– no, better yet, what Mom doesn’t love jewelry? With Mother’s Day in a few days you better know what you’re getting her. She’ll appreciate the sentiment and the effort you put in getting her something nice like jewelry for the special holiday. So, here’s a quick little gift guide to make your shopping experience for Mom easy.

The first thing to do is narrow down the selection by what your Mom normally wears. What does she already own versus what she doesn’t have. Then from there determine the style of the jewelry she wears; the design, the metal, the kinds of gems, etc. Does she like bracelets or necklaces more? Does she wear a favorite charm bracelet that you could maybe buy some beads for?

Sometimes Moms just really love the sentimental stuff. Family bond jewelry is always a big hit. Anything featuring the birthstones of her and her children is enough to melt her heart. You could find plenty of pendant necklaces, Claddagh rings, or bracelets featuring family-related things such as hearts, hugs, and sayings.

Choose your mother’s gift with care– after all, this gift is a token of appreciation for all that she has done for you.

Birthstones In Your Jewelry

Published by in charm bracelets, Claddagh rings, Jewelry, jewels, Promise Rings, Rings on April 30th, 2012

Sometimes jewelery is selected because of its beauty and fashion-savvy sense, sometimes because of sentimentality, and sometimes because of both. When birthstones are used in jewelry, it tends to be for both of those reasons. Unlike in most cases, the person does not choose the gem when it is a birthstone– it is given to them based on the month of their birth.

The twelve primary birthstones in order of month are garnet, amethyst, aquamarine, diamond, emerald, pearl, ruby, peridot, sapphire, tourmaline, topaz, and tanzanite. June has alexandrite as an alternative to pearl, October has opal, November has citrine, and December has zircon and turquoise.

Birthstones can be found in any jewelry of choice, however they are most popular in rings, pendant necklaces,and  charm bracelets. The rings you might find them used in are graduation rings, promise rings, and Claddagh rings. Being very personal touches, parents may choose to include their children’s birthstones in jewelry alongside their own. For many, a birthstone is a representation of identity and pride. Others find them soothing– a reminder of where you came from and how far you will go in life.

Whatever the reason for selecting jewelry with birthstone settings, they make lovely items. They’re some of the most personal kinds of jewelry on the market.

Smoky Quartz: A Mineral To Showcase

Published by in Jewelry, jewels on April 23rd, 2012

Smoky quartz is an interesting piece to add to jewelry. It’s darker than most other forms of quartz but it is just as elegant. It gets its composition from SiCO2 (silicon carbon dioxide).

Amazingly enough, quartz minerals are the most abundant minerals on Earth. They make up around 12% of the Earth’s crust and can be found in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock. Quartz is divided into two categories: macrocrystalline and cryptocrystalline. Smoky quartz is macrocrystalline– meaning you can see individual crystals with the naked eye. It is included in the same category as amethyst, ametrine, cat’s eye, rose quartz, and others.

But what this really all means is that it holds very pleasing features for jewelry. Historically it known as morion when it is very dark brown or black. If it has a chocolate brown appearance then it is sometimes called Cairngorm, named after the mountain range in the Scottish highlands.

Essentially smoky quartz is sought after not only for its beauty but its supposed crystal therapy. It is said to alleviate stress and to remove negative energies from its wearer. It has always been revered as a mysterious mineral.

In jewelry it looks fantastic with formal dinner attire and casual evenings. It can be used to complement blouses, dresses, and spring skirts.

Reasons Why Charm Bracelets Are So Popular

Published by in Bracelets, charm bracelets, Jewelry on April 2nd, 2012

Charm bracelets have stood the test of time. They are not only enchanting, they are customizable. Their convenience and versatility makes them a fierce piece of jewelry for your spring wardrobe. They reflect your sense of self– your style to be more precise. They are an item that can be found at all levels of fashion and they seem ubiquitous in warmer weather.

One defining characteristic of charm bracelets is that they act as the balance for retro fashion. They are iconic as a vintage piece but they adapt very well to changing fashion trends and the individual charms are reflective of the current state of affairs. Vintage stuff is all the rage, especially if it can be brought back.

Another reason is that it really is incredibly customizable. You can interchange the pieces to match your current outfit. This allows you a lot of leeway as to with which clothes you pair this jewelry. With enough pieces your friends may even think you have two or more completely different bracelets– so all-in-all you’re saving money while being fashionable.

And on top of everything these are some of the most low maintenance pieces of jewelry you will ever wear. They’re comfortable and very easy to clean. Since the pieces are removable you can easy polish and clean them individually. The main bracelet can then easily be cared for as well.

What’s not to love when they’re just so… so charming.

Wear Ankle Bracelets With Your Spring Clothes

Published by in Ankle bracelets, Bracelets, charm bracelets on March 26th, 2012

It’s that time of year again. The trees are turning green, the weather is warming up, the birds are singing. It’s spring! That means you are going to start wearing shorts and flip flops with tee shirts and short sleeve dress shirts. That also means that you will need some really nice spring-worthy jewelry.

When it comes to spring accessories you are going to want plenty of lightweight and colorful things. Ankle bracelets are some of the cooler ones you can select. They’re a great accessory to wear for a day out to the park or beach. They’re super cute and a nice complement to shorts.

For short sleeves you might want to wear bangles or charm bracelets. They add a little more interest to an otherwise bare arm. In the case of the charm bracelets pick charms with a spring and summer theme. Sunshine, beach umbrellas, waves, sunglasses and sandals are all popular charms. You might also choose things like butterflies or flowers– they’re pretty popular too.

These are only a few options too. Pair spring wardrobes with hoop earrings and some nice gemstone rings as well. You can mix and match accessories as you see fit, but make sure that you have at least some common theme or design trend.

Spring Jewelry Trends 2012

Published by in Jewelry on March 19th, 2012

This year you are going to see a varying degree in accessory trends. Expect to include anything from tribal influences to light pastels/”sorbets” and anything very feminine, lady-like touches such as flowery patterns. Also, futuristic themes will play heavily too. Expect to see a lot of metal. These themes will be present not only in bag and shoe fashion, but in the jewelry as well.

With the lighter colors present this spring season, you will want to accessorize with sterling silver and stainless steel wrist and ankle bracelets.  Make sure that the design is light so that it doesn’t get caught on or tear the gentler fabrics. These metals work with the pastels and futuristic themes very well. You might even be able to test out a few gold bangles and hoop earrings.

With the more feminine and natural themes you will want to aim for gemstone detailed pieces. Also, anything with hearts and fine details works very well. Make sure that the colors match the ensemble so there’s a sense of continuity– the outfit should work as a collective not a random scattering of elements.

These are themes that will come around again, so don’t worry that you’re investing in jewelry that will collect dust once the season ends. On the contrary, these themes are continually re-emerging.

Rubber Men’s Bracelets Are Pretty Awesome

Published by in Bracelets, Men's Jewelry on March 12th, 2012

Men’s accessories are just as vital to an outfit as they are for any women. A guy with the right hat, messenger bag, belt, or bracelet could look super cool. Men’s casual accessories especially should be given more love. They’re great for a night at the bar with friends, for a date, or for a concert. And who doesn’t want to impress at these events, huh?

Some really cool bracelets are comprised of rubber and metal. These come in a variety of styles that you can wear for just about any casual outing. Take for example an ID plate men’s bracelet. With a rubber band, the central piece is metallic and often made of a stainless steel or rose gold. The piece is simple but very defined. It has a modern edge to it but ultimately features a traditional design.

Two edgier pieces would be a cable men’s bracelet with rubber center or a rubber bicycle chain link bracelet. They look a bit rough around the edges but these comfortable bracelets are quite easy to get on-and-off with their clasp closure and release buttons. They are the coolest accessories for that rock concert and look like they totally fit in with the underground scene.

And these are only a few of the excellent choices you have at Heavenly Treasures. Take a look at their complete selection online.
