New Jewelry Trends

The diversity found within a collection of biker jewelry seems to suggest that bikers have a broad range of different views, in relation to the subject of good and evil. In addition to the varied types of crosses found among biker accessories, one can discover pieces with a skull, a dragon or a pirate’s symbol. By the same token, one can find an item that displays a carved eagle.

All bikers love to get out on the road. That fact has not escaped the makers of jewelry for the biking crowd. They have provided bike riders with the chance to buy and own a Route 66 ring. Some of the rings for bikers have a gemstone in them. Still, you will not find a diamond or ruby within any collection of bikers’ accessories. Citrine, amethyst and topaz are the three gemstones that have gained a nod of approval from the typical bike rider. As bike riders stare down at their handle bars and their hands, they often take pride in the fact that they can see one or more bracelets. Some of these “tough guys” like to wear chain link bracelets. Others prefer to have what is called a “ball-in” accessory on the wrist.

Bikers do not make a habit of hanging their heads, but they do like to have jewelry hanging on their necks. They prefer pendants to chains. The variety among these pendants underscores the varied interests among any one gang of motorcycle lovers.

Today, a traveler in West Virginia can expect to find artists at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs. The Artist Colony has become a recognized part of that Resort. Should a traveler in West Virginia also expect to find nature lovers and thrill seekers at that resort?

Artists, nature lovers and thrill seekers all play a part in the search for and the marketing of West Virginia Gems. Historians too have contributed to the history of West Virginia Gems, a company that features a gemstone in most of its jewelry. Those gemstones come from the farms and streams of West Virginia.

Historians know how geological changes transformed the forested land in the region that takes-up part of present-day North Carolina. They know how the elevation of one mountain once sent a stream of water downhill. Because that elevation occurred on the north face of the mountain, the water ran into the region that is now West Virginia.

The water that flowed into a future West Virginia flowed in and out of many narrow passages. The rapid rate at which the water flowed in those passages has now led to the creation of a tourist industry – the rafting industry. Some of those rafter steer their craft past rock that contains agate.

Agate is the gemstone that is featured in many of the jewelry pieces created by West Virginia Gems. The makers of West Virginia Gems usually content themselves with white, brown or gray agates. Only a tiny section of the West Virginia land holds agate that contains touches of lavender, red or yellow.

Two young filmmakers, Jennifer Jessum and Simon Josesph have recently completed work on a documentary. Their informative movie is called “Finding God in the City of the Angels.” It examines Los Angeles in a manner prescribed by the film’s producer. That produces wanted a piece that viewed Los Angeles “through the eyes of scriptures.”

This new documentary highlights the similarities and the differences amongst the various faith groups in Los Angeles. Since a passage from some sort of sacred scripture is often read at a wedding, this documentary includes scenes from different L.A. based weddings. Before those weddings took place, the eager young couple normally looked for a wedding ring. They probably shopped in the area that is home to the loose diamonds in Los Angeles.

Maybe they visited the shop owned and operated by Adiamir of L.A. All of the diamonds in that shop have been certified by the American Gem Society (AGS) and the Geological Institute of America (GIA). Each of those diamonds features a recognized shape. Each has a distinctive cut, and each has a pronounced clarity. All of those diamonds can be viewed by visitors to the Adiamir facility, a jewelry making center and store in downtown Los Angeles.

Perhaps those couples that were about to be wed visited the shop associated with this phone number: 1-800-Loose Diamonds. Gem experts have said that this shop offers the “ultimate in custom jewelry.” Their showroom, located in downtown L.A., contain more than 8,000 products.
