I have read about famous jewelry designer from Japanese named Saori C. little turn of events in her life that motivated her to design jewelry is not only inspiring but motivates one to explore themselves as well. Like her own webpage explains how she came in to this field was a sudden yet fine coincidence. She was born and raised in Japan where she discovered her passion for classical music and piano.
She was very inspired by the traditions and culture of America and Europe thus she attended Miyazaki University in Japan where she had American subjects as her majors. The developing interest in American and European culture made her come to Washington D.C. and take an admission in The Evergreen State College in Olympia. Her life suddenly changed when one Christmas instead of buying a present for her friend she made one which was a bracelet. The appreciation she got opened new doors of opportunity for her by adopting this as a profession. She later on took some professional training from Lynn Hull who happens to be a metal smith that polished her skills even more.

Every year tens of thousands of people walk up the steps made famous in the series of Rocky movies—the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. As they walk through that museum, they have an opportunity to view a special jewelry collection. The fashionably modern and artfully practical pieces in that collection were created by the skilled hands that created all of the C. Linea jewelry.
Some of those who stare at the geometric shapes in the C. Linea jewelry might wonder, “Who is this C. Linea?” Others who take the time to study the blended colors in the same jewelry could well ask themselves, “How can one learn more about this C. Linea?” The fact is that there is no biographical material about someone who goes by the name C, Linea.
All of the C. Linea jewelry was created by Cara Tilker. Early in her career, Ms. Tilker realized that her jewelry had distinctive lines. She thus decided to include mention of that characteristic in the name for her jewelry. The word “linea” is Italian for line. Cara Tilker selected the name “C. Linea” for the many varied shapes in her ever-expanding line of jewelry.

Those familiar with stereo equipment have probably examined some “high end” equipment. The pieces of jewelry found in stores with Carolee Jewelry are viewed as examples of “high end fashion.” What does that mean?
In Beverly Hills, California that means that the owner of such a store needs to become familiar with a number of different cultures. A customer in a Beverly Hills jewelry store might want a string of Carolee pearls to wear on a black dress. The customer might then say that she plans to wear that black dress at a wedding.
If that jewelry shop owner has taken the time to learn about the cultures of the various Beverly Hills residents, then that shop owner will not bat an eye, upon hearing the customer’s intentions. Beverly Hills has a fair number of Iranians. In Iran, women often wear black at weddings. No Iranian would look askance at a wedding guest decked in black, especially if she also wore some Carolee pearls.

Every week, in OK Magazine, Max Azria offers readers what are called “Style Tips.” During one week in April of 2008, Azria wrote about what he felt could serve as a “good day-to-night look.” He suggested a simple black shift dress.
Why did a recognized fashion expert suggest use of a rather common fashion item? Here is what he said about that simple dress: “[It] can take you from the office to a night on the town with a quick change of accessories.”
While Azria did not mention Krysta Mari jewelry, he certainly underlined the benefits provided by such jewelry. The creator of Krysta Mari jewelry understands the important role that jewelry plays in the world of high fashion. Readers of the “Images” section on Sundays should expect to read about Krysta Mari jewelry.

In colonial Philadelphia, one could find a man who knew that by heating potash with soda he could make glass. That man was a glassblower. He might have made glass for the old Tun Tavern on King Street. He might have had his shop in the area of the City near Independence Hall.
Today, Joan Strott-Alvini Jewelry is found in a shop near Independence Hall. That shop is one of many shops on Jewelers’ Row in Philadelphia. Joan Strott-Alvini, like the old glass blowers, has become familiar with the methods for transforming potash and sand into glass.
Joan Strott-Alvini makes customized, enamel jewelry. Enamel is colored glass that contains silicates. When potash, combined with soda or lime in the proper proportions, has been used to make glass, the result is called “flux.” As a clear substance, “flux” can serve as an attractive coating for copper. Once poured onto copper, “flux” takes-on a tan-like hue.

Many people don’t know that jewelry is part of the fashion industry. However, most people who wear jewelry of any kind know that a piece of jewelry is very special to the wearer of that piece of jewelry. In other words, every piece of jewelry has a special meaning to the person wearing it. So it should come as no surprise that both engagement and wedding jewelry, especially engagement and wedding rings have very special meaning and significance for the couples that exchange vows and rings on their wedding day. Plus, engagement rings mean much to the bride and groom to be because an engagement ring is often a statement of long lasting love from a man to a woman. Therefore, it is very important to pick out the right rings to start your lives off together. I recommend that couples check out the website scottkay.com for all their engagement and wedding ring needs.
Scott Kay is known as a world renowned jewelry designer. This is due to the fact that Scott Kay creates and designs both modern contemporary engagement and wedding rings and vintage engagement and wedding rings.

When a member of the baby boom generation sits down to write a review of Bon Mar jewelry, his or her review might demonstrate a tinge of envy. When those same boomers were younger, they might have had a parent who was constantly misplacing his or her glasses. A number of those parents hesitated to buy a glass chain, a chain that detracted from their effort to retain a look of youthfulness.
Back then there was no Bon Mar jewelry. Bon Mar jewelry has provided glass wearers with a useful and attractive accessory. Today’s children can take pride in giving their parents such an accessory.
Bon Mar jewelry recognizes the fact that not all glasses have a thick stem. Some have a very thin stem. The loops on the Bon Mar glass chains fit well on any type of glass stem. When a pair of glasses has been attached to one of the Bon Mar chains, the glass wearer does not have to worry about the glass stems stretching or breaking.
