Moissanite hoop earrings,Moissanite earings

Moissanite Earrings, The Modern Brazilian Beetle.

The history of earrings is a varied history indeed. And the latest in the long line of female body adornments known as earrings are Moissanite earrings. Moissanite is taking the jewelry world by storm and moissanite earrings are no exception.

Moissanite earrings, well earrings in general anyway, are a fashion with a long history. They are believed to have originated around 3000 BC. Fashioned often in gold, silver or bronze, numerous examples of earrings dating from around 2500 BC to the time of Christ have been unearthed.

Many fascinating examples have been uncovered from the royal graves in Iraq!

Earring styles have varied enormously over the last 3500 years. Earrings were often buried with the dead, as were many other forms of fashionable jewelry of the time. This is fortunate as it allows us to determine exactly what earrings were popular at various times in our history.

Around 1350 BC hoop earrings were popular which fitted inside a larger hole in the ear than would normally be the case. We can only imagine what it would have taken to produce the hole in the ear in the first place! Probably a small hoop earring at first, followed by larger ones as time progressed.

Earrings had styles and motifs which fitted the times. For example in Greek society around the second century BC earrings often displayed motifs of the gods of the time. And precious stones also adorned the ears of the wealthy women of the time to display their riches.

From around the third to the tenth century AD earrings were overtaken by head adornments which often covered the entire side of the face. And then for a few centuries after that long hair styles and high collars covered the ears and earrings lost their appeal.

Earrings took a back seat for quite some time, but re-emerged unscathed around the sixteenth century. At the time women’s hairstyles crept up exposing the ears again and by the seventeenth century earrings were back in fashion.

Earrings then were often long and heavy and extended use resulted in women suffering permanently stretched ear lobes. This can be clearly seen in pictures of Queen Victoria, a dedicated earring wearer. Perhaps she had a lot to do with the fashion of the time.

Earring fashions varied with hairstyles. When the hair was worn on the top of the head the ears were prominently displayed and so earrings were essential, however from time to time the hairstyles favoured covering the ears, and earrings went back out of fashion.

All sorts of exotic earring materials were used including in the late 1800s, of all things, Brazilian beetles for their attractive green color.

Back then it was Brazilian beetles, now it’s moissanite. The newest of the modern earring materials, moissanite earrings are taking the earring world by storm. Why? Simply because moissanite earrings look as good as diamond earrings but without the price tag.

Moissanite earrings feature moissanite stones, a modern alternative to diamonds which offer all the qualities of diamonds but at a fraction of the cost.

Whether it’s simple round cut moissanite stones set into white or yellow gold to produce stunning moissanite stud earrings, three stone moissanite earrings in gold or solitaire moissanite earrings with lever back settings, any would complement the ear of the modern woman.

Since time immemorial, diamonds have been presented as the greatest symbol of love. They’re a woman’s best friend, so in line with this we at Diamond Safe have come up with a very special collection to show love to women everywhere and help those with breast cancer.


wholesale pink ribbon earrings
Studies have shown that breast cancer is the number one cause of death in women. This year alone, more than 200,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with this disease, which mean that every 2 minutes a diagnosis of breast cancer will be made. It could strike anyone, regardless of race, creed or social level.

Yes, it is a frightening prospect, but medical strides have made it now possible to beat the killer disease. And with early detection, the survival rate over 5 years can reach up to 98%, with a growing rate of breast cancer survivors each year - 2 Million to date.

This collection includes a limited edition line of gorgeous pieces, with rings, necklaces, charms, pins and pendants with inspirational names such as ‘band of Courage’, ‘Optimism Earrings’ and ‘Conviction Pin’.

Diamond Jewelry- Diamond Earrings

When selecting diamond earrings it is important to know a bit about diamonds in general. Just remember your 4 C’s clarity, cut, carat, and color. Clarity is how clear or how many flaws are inside the diamond. Diamond earrings are not a center piece like a diamond ring so getting diamonds with a few flaws is ok. Color is the tint of diamond, yellow is considered dirty, so the whiter the better. Cut, refers to the style and quality of how the diamond was cut. Most traditional diamond stud earrings use either princess or round cut diamonds. Carat is the unit in which diamonds are weighed, but it doesn’t refer to the size. Most earrings come in weights of .25ct, .5ct, 1.0ct, 1.5ct, 2.0ct etc. If you can find odd weight earring like .66ct then you often save money on the diamond earring set with out losing size.

Diamond Jewelry- Engagement Rings

Pay attention to her and notice what she likes. When choosing and engagement ring make sure you get something that matches what she likes.

What type of metal jewelry and rings does she wear now? Most women have a clear-cut preference. If she loves yellow gold, don’t even look at a diamond or other stone mounted in a platinum or white gold setting.

What jewelry style does she wear now? Is it modern-looking, with bold styling? Does she prefer vintage style engagement rings? Or would you say that the jewelry she wears is classic, resembling those timeless pieces that never go out of style?

The best hint about her tastes is the jewelry she wears all the time, not items she only wears occasionally, because it’s the jewelry that she wears everyday that she is most comfortable with.

We hope these hints have been helpful, and we would love to answer any of your diamond jewelry questions.

Jewelry, non-pierced earrings,pierced earring backs

Find more about body jewelry, both piercing and non-piercing jewelry.

Body Jewelry - Body Piercing and Non-Piercing Jewelry

Body Piercing

The trend of body piercing is catching on and so is the variety of body jewelry that is worn by people all around. There is more innovation applied towards the designing of body piercing and non-piercing jewelry. Unlike earlier times, nowadays, different unlikely parts of the body are also being pierced and that has consequently led to the invention of newer designs to suit the shape of that place.

Initially it was either a stud or a ring that was made by the goldsmiths and silversmiths but now it comes in diverse shapes. The metals that were used are also different as gold and silver were the only metals used initially but now it is surgical steel, plastic, wood, horn, bamboo, stone, knitted jewelry, stone and many more. Here is a list of some commonly used jewelry.

  • Barbells- Barbells consist of a straight bar and a bead on each end. This description illustrates the name (barbells are used in weightlifting), though here in a jewelry barbell, one or at times both are beads are detachable. Most of the times, one of the beads is fixed. These are worn in the tongue piercing and come in various shapes and designs like skull, dolphin, frog, flower, snake etc and in variety of materials like Teflon, acrylic, glass, gold, silver and many other organic material. Straight barbells are only meant for tongue piercing and there are other shapes that are worn on the eyebrows as well but they are either flexible or banana shaped.
  • Belly Button Ring- Navel is also at times pierced with a barbell and when the wound heals completely a decorative jewelry is worn like a dangling pendant or a captive bead ring or naval barbell. Naval banana bells come in shape of dragon, iguana, lizard, Scorpio, butterfly, Rose, etc.
  • Eyebrow Silver Charm-banana barbells, captive earrings and curved barbells are the suitable jewelry in case of eyebrow piercing. The shape of these jewelries put the minimum pressure compared to all other shapes as places like eyebrows are sensitive and kind of jewelry is bound to irritate that place.
  • Nipple Jewelry- There are various kinds of jewelry that can be worn on the nipple though that’s dangerous. There are spiky nipple bar, which are UV react and made of silicon, there are other designs like space, rose and whirlpool.
  • Labret- This is worn on the upper lip or the bottom lip above the chin. A lip ring can also be worn.
  • Captive Bead Ring-In this kind of jewelry the captive bead has openings in it for the end of the ring, so that the end of the wire can fit into any of those small openings giving it a ring like look. Captive Bead Ring can be worn as naval, ear and eyebrow jewelry also.
  • Claw- Claw is piece of jewelry which almost looks like a horse shoe. Its ends are tapered and are usually worn on ear lobes. It is made of different metals like plastic, glass or a metal.
  • Spirals are made of colored glass and look really petite when worn on ear lobes.
  • Earrings are the most common type of jewelry and it can be of any shape and size. These are made of different things like gold or silver with stones embedded on it.

Non Body Piercing Jewelry

There are several kinds of non-body piercing jewelry which can give you the look as if the piercing has been done but then you can adorn yourself without having to go through the excruciating pain and this is not hearsay but experience.

  • One of them is the clip-on earring that can also be worn as a naval ring.
  • Ear cuffs are also curved metal bands that press against the ear and keep on pinching it. That is how it sticks to the ear.
  • Magnetic Earrings look very real and it seems as if the person is wearing a stud. The ear stud is visible in the front and is held back by a magnet that is on the back of the ear lobe.
  • Stick-on earrings have adhesive backs which stick to the ear lobe.
  • The hoop pinches on the ear lobe and give it a look which suggests that the ear is pierced.
  • Spring Hoops stick to the ear by means of a spring force.

Body Piercing and body jewelry might make a style statement but one should make sure that one takes proper precautions and proper care after the piercing is done and it heals up to prevent oneself from unnecessary hassles, pains and scars.

Chanel Logo Earrings,cc chanel logo earrings

CC Chanel Logo Earrings

Jewellery throughout the ages has always been popular with beautiful women, and it takes beautiful, well groomed, women to know how to enhance stylish and fashionable outfits. Chanel, as one of the world’s most elegant women, intrinsically knows how to finish a contemporary and modern outfit, whilst displaying the logo in an understated and attractive way. The popularity of Chanel logo earrings cannot be disputed. Women love them, and take pride in displaying them as one of the more favoured brands whenever possible. The very chique and elegant French Chanel has a reputation for beautiful clothing, accessories and perfumes, and the Chanel logo is often on tasteful display. Taste and style go hand in hand with Chanel.

The logo is presented in an artistic and subtle style, consisting of two interlocking c’s. This beautifully simple and elegant idea creates a stylish and popular earring. Some of our biggest film stars are proud to wear the Chanel logo earrings, and many of the earrings have now become a collectible item. Lift any outfit with these earrings, be it a classic cut suit or the simple but dressy plain black dress, whether you are Meryl Streep, or Irene Crawford, a simple, Repton housewife in Australia, and whether you are fine dining, going to the opera or simply having dinner with friends. These understated jewellery items will lift any outfit, simply because they are Chanel. They can be worn with anything, but it goes without saying that when worn with other Chanel clothing, they will stand out even more.
Many of the popular styles of these fashionable earrings consist only of the simple interlocking c’s, and, to make them more affordable, they have been created and styled using the less expensive rhinestone, making them accessible to all women. The same style is also offered using slightly more expensive, slightly rarer and extremely beautiful quartz crystals. However, whether you choose the attractive rhinestone, or the stunning crystal earrings, both catch the light and refract it in a most eye-catching way.

The Chanel logo earrings do come in a variety of styles, including the very popular hoop earrings, aimed to appeal to the widest possible audience. The Chanel logo is set in the middle of the hoop and became very fashionable in the 90’s, although it is still seen being worn by the young in 2008. Today, we see Chanel presenting the logo in the highly popular drop and dangle style. Beautifully understated, it takes a Chanel fan to recognise and appreciate them.

Chanel jewellery can be found in major department stores in most cities around the world or you have the option of being able to order and buy direct from the Chanel outlets. A major shopping arena in the new millennium has become the internet, and if you are not averse to second hand jewellery, it is here that you can often find the best price. The Chanel logo earring could well become something that you find addictive and start to collect! New and chique styles are being created and offered every year.
