Summer Wedding Jewelry Trends
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010Wedding Gift Ideas for Your Wedding Party
Sunday, September 26th, 2010The bride and groom are the center of the wedding ceremony, but there are others in the wedding party that also contribute a significant amount of time and effort to help make your ceremony all that you have dreamed. In addition to the bride and groom, a wedding party typically includes bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, and ring bearers. Wedding tradition says that the appropriate time to give a wedding gift to your wedding party is just before the ceremony. If the wedding gift is something the individual will use during the wedding, you might want to give it to your wedding party at your last rehearsal or dinner, if you have one planned.Gifts for FemalesSince you too are a female, you will probably have the easiest time choosing a wedding gift for the women in your wedding ceremony. Just think, what type of wedding gift would make you feel appreciated? Common ideas for an ideal wedding gift for a bridesmaid include jewelry, handbags, and wedding dress accessories. If you have known your bridesmaids for many years, you may want to opt for a wedding gift that reflects the nature of your friendship. Are you creative? Try writing a poem dedicated to each bridesmaid. You could place the poem in a special photo album containing pictures of you and the bridesmaid. Gifts for MenMen tend to be less fussy than women about the type of wedding gift they receive. While women treasure a sentimental wedding gift, men favor a wedding gift that is useful or fun. A wedding gift that would past muster with a groomsmen would include a money clip, pocket watch, and beer mug. These items are great as an individual wedding gift or for a group of groomsmen. To personalize a wedding gift for a groomsmen you can easily engrave the gift.Gifts for ChildrenChildren are precious in a wedding ceremony. Don’t leave them out when you are considering giving each member of your wedding party a wedding gift. If a child is very young, you have to be careful that the wedding gift you give them doesn’t keep them from doing their wedding duties. A good option is to give a wedding gift that the child can use during the ceremony or something that is not a toy. Make it PersonalThere is no rule that says that you have to buy everyone the same wedding gift. It’s very likely that you are closer to members of your wedding party than others. In this case you can give a wedding gift that matches your sentiments. Use your best judgment when giving a personal wedding gift. You don’t want a heated situation to develop before your ceremony over a wedding gift! An alternative is to give each person the same wedding gift and add personal flair by giving a wedding gift with each person’s name or initials. This way you steer clear of favoritism and a last minute riot.
Mens Black Rings and Black Wedding Rings
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010If you come from the world of fashion, every year you can expect to hear about another color that is considered the “new black”. I think last year it was purple… or was that the year before? Anyway, while the fabric merchants scramble for an alternative to basic black, jewelers everywhere are welcoming black like never before. Men’s black rings are perhaps the most exciting new development in men’s jewelry that I’ve seen in a decade; and it looks like this is one trend that’s here to stay.
Believe it or not, men’s black rings are not entirely new. They actually have their roots in ancient cultures, dating back to the days when Greek artisans carved spectacular rings from black onyx. Roman craftsmen followed suit with their elaborately engraved cameo-style black onyx rings, which were often used as seals. Today’s methods of making men’s black rings are based on more scientific techniques, but each type of black metal has its own unique qualities.What type of men’s black rings are available, and how do they get so black? • The deep “midnight black” of black titanium is made through an alloying technique that involves the application of high temperatures to the base metal. Not only does this process make the ring a deeper black, it also becomes extremely durable and scratch resistant. • Another popular black ring style is a two-tone titanium ring. These striking rings are made with a mixture of black and grey titanium. • A less expensive option, black stainless steel rings are usually coated with a permanent black tint that makes them even more durable. • Like titanium, black tungsten bands are made with an alloy process that adds to the raw strength of tungsten carbide and stands up to daily wear and tear. What are the most popular styles in men’s black rings? Men’s black rings have been gaining in popularity for quite a while, and have even made their way into many wedding band collections. But not all of these rings get their black color from the metal. One of the most popular styles on sale today is a titanium ring with a black carbon fiber inlay. This handsome ring combines the sparkle of polished titanium with the modern texture of carbon fiber, making it a truly unique and handsome wedding band or fashion ring. Some other best-selling men’s black rings include a stainless steel black crusade cross ring, and a sophisticated black stainless steel wedding band with a stripe of brushed stainless steel around the center. For simpler tastes, there are several conservative-style bands made from black titanium, tungsten and stainless steel. As more jewelry manufacturers start to show men’s black rings in their collections, black wedding rings are emerging as a new symbol of eternal commitment. The natural strength of the industrial metals, paired with rich black tones, adds power and certainty to that commitment.
