Rappers And Very Expensive JewelryPosted Jun-24-08 18:57:31 PDT Updated Jun-26-08 14:31:09 PDT In the world of fashion, there are a lot of things that are hot right now, but this is mostly true for very expensive jewelry. When it comes to hip-hop, right now everyone is all about showing off the “bling.” If you have never heard of this word, it pretty much stands for very expensive jewelry. This can mean anything from necklaces laced with diamonds or watches covered in gold. It does not matter what kind of jewelry you pick out as long as it's big and expensive. This is a trend that is growing by the day, and it shows no signs of dying out any time soon. If you are into hip-hop (or rap), there is a good chance that you know that very expensive jewelry is in. This kind of jewelry is called “bling.” The bigger your bling, the more it costs. The more it costs, the more powerful and cool you are. That is just the way it works. It does not matter what kind of jewelry it is, as long as it is big and expensive. A lot of people have gold watches, platinum teeth, and many other things. However, the most common jewelry that people use to show off their expensive taste are their necklaces. The bigger and longer your necklaces, the more respect you get (mostly because the longer necklaces cost more money, and if you are wearing one, that means your are loaded). A lot of the time, this very expensive jewelry is almost out of control. A lot of people take this idea a little too far. If you have been to your local mall, or watched a rap video anytime recently, you know what I am talking about. In the rap videos nowadays, the rappers wore necklaces that hang down to their belt lines (some times lower). However, the “bling” really does not have too much to do with how long it hangs. It has more to do with what is on the end of your necklace. The pendants that they hang from their necks are usually huge, and are solid gold laced with different color diamonds. That's right, nowadays not even normal diamonds are enough to show off your very expensive jewelry. You have to have different colored ones. In fact, right now the in thing to do is to have your pendant be the colors of the American flag (red, white, and blue). However, the “in” thing changes almost weekly, so there are not many people that can afford to go out and buy a new pendant every day (unless you really are an up and coming rapper). The prices of these necklaces are off the charts! Most of these necklaces cost more than what people make in a whole year. They can range anywhere from thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on your make and model. I mean, that costs more than most high dollar cars! So the next time you are thinking about going out to get some very expensive jewelry like the rappers have, you better make sure you save your pennies and dimes. That is why you see so many people walking around with the fake jewelry on, or sometimes called the knock off brands. The good thing about these is that most people can not tell the difference between the fakes and the reals. However, there will always be some that can, and that is why some people will not wear that kind of stuff.

In other words, if people wish tom show off their playful side then, they might wear an amethyst butterfly and if they wanted to illustrate an air of royalty then, they might desire wearing a pair of amethyst earrings or a beautiful amethyst ring. However, if people wished to illustrate their dark and mysterious side then, they might fancy a piece of onyx jewelry or too. Let’s look deeper into onyx and onyx jewelry. What is dark, black, and mysterious that almost every jewelry lover would find pleasure wearing? The answer to that fashion accessory question is onyx. Did you know that some people see onyx as a bit of black magic? Did you also know that in both fashion and jewelry colors look brighter and crispier against a black background? This statement makes quite a bit of sense because the combination of black and white is simply exquisite. Plus, people can never go wrong if they dress from head to toe in black and white, including their jewelry ensemble. Wearing black and white clothing and black a white jewelry could be seen as a kind of status symbol that all people could relate to on a day to day basis whether black and white was worn in the workplace or on the beach during a play day.
Did you also know that in fine jewelry its black background was often supplied by onyx which is chalcedony quartz with a fine texture? Some onyx even has white bands or white ribbons in it and if the layers of this white ribbon of onyx are even it can be and often is used in the creation and in the design of cameo. This statement seems to make sense if the white face of a cameo is actually white onyx against a pink background. This seems to also suggest cameos are a part of onyx jewelry. Therefore, onyx jewelry also equates to romantic and mysterious jewelry. Did you know that onyx is often used in art deco jewelry pieces? In addition, onyx is often added to marcasite jewelry too. Onyx is a gemstone that is dark, alluring , and mysterious.

Why Do People Sometimes Use Silver Engagement Rings?Posted Jun-24-08 17:15:02 PDT Sometimes people do not use gold engagement rings for that very special piece of jewelry and there are many reasons for it. In its place people will sometimes use platinum engagement rings or silver engagement rings. Once again the reason for using something like a silver engagement ring can be as wide ranging as the selection of settings you can get with your silver engagement ring but rest assured that there is usually a very good reason why some people just do not use gold engagement rings and why some people prefer other precious metals for their very important pieces of jewelry.
There are many precious metals that can be used in different pieces of jewelry but people are always very particular about what kind of precious metal goes into their wedding jewelry and this includes the engagement rings. The standard precious metal to use on engagement rings is gold but for varying reasons a new crop of silver engagement rings is starting to make themselves noticed and many people are starting to see the benefits and values of a silver engagement ring versus a gold engagement ring. It is interesting to note the reasons many people are giving for the choice of a silver engagement ring and when you consider what everyone is saying it may start to dawn on you that a silver engagement ring may not be such a bad idea after all. One of the first things many people that choose silver engagement rings say is that they just do not like gold. To many people silver shines brighter than gold and when a silver engagement ring with its mounted diamond hits the sunlight just right it can give off quite a glow. Many people prefer the impact that the glitter and shine of silver can give over the pale complexion of gold and that is why they turn to silver engagement rings over gold. Some people, a startling number of people actually, are very allergic to gold and cannot wear any gold jewelry at all. It cause skin rashes and infections and can even make their skin turn different colors so whether they want to wear gold or not they just cannot because of their allergy so these people will always turn to silver when they need a precious metal. In some cases they may turn to platinum but platinum is very expensive compared to silver and extremely heavy and many people do not want their wedding jewelry, which they will be wearing all day long every day, to be so very heavy. So for these reasons people that are allergic to gold may prefer silver engagement rings over any other kind.
Many engagement rings are handed down from generation to generation and in those cases the engagement ring that is handed down could very well be silver. Getting married is a big step in someone's life and to get married using a family heirloom is certainly a way to get the marriage off to a great start not only for the couple but also in the eyes of the entire family. Of course a family heirloom like a handed down silver engagement ring is going to have a huge sentimental value and weddings are all about the emotion and sentiment of bringing two families together to become one. In some cases a silver engagement ring is a cost issue. Silver is simply less expensive than gold and many couples that want the large stones in their rings will cut costs by mounting them into silver instead of gold. Given the high gloss look of silver and the way silver can retain its beauty for many generations it is probably a safe bet that silver engagement rings are good investments for young couples on a budget. |
