Many times people will shy away from a piece of costume jewelry or designer inspired jewelry when they find out it is coated with a layer of  rhodium.   Rhodium is actually a shiny, highly reflective, silver metal with a finish like Mercury and is consistently used on white gold to  restore the shine. Sterling silver is actually very soft but the rhodium finish is very strong  and  mimics the brilliant finish of freshly polished silver.  It also protects the piece from natural tarnish.   So, purchasing a piece of jewelry coated with a layer of Rhodium as a finishing touch provides  shine for a longer time plus it prevents scratches and tarnishing. 

Stacking bracelets of various styles and colors is nothing new.  The women of Rome wore bracelets made of twisted coil with lion head ends paired with knot bracelets.  The Greek women wore bracelets with fleeing dogs combined with cuffs designed in palmetto or berry patterns.  Stacking several bangles of different designs, a cuff with a bangle, or perhaps two cuffs turned opposite ways is a great way to spice up any outfit.  So come one girls - start stacking! 

Don’t have the dollars for jewelry to go with every outfit?  Few of us do and that’s why chains  are such a necessary staple in our jewelry collections.  Wear your chain with a bold slider one day and then with a smaller more dainty slider the next.  Two totally different looks.  Or, if you are really in a time crunch and don’t have time to decide what looks best, wear the chain with the clasp in front.  Another great look! 

Have you recently admired someone’s beautiful diamond ring only to have the wearer shyly confide that it wasn’t real? It was probably a sterling silver CZ ring. Not only do these rings look fabulous, they are affordable and practical from a safety point of view. A 4 CT. solitaire on a sparkling sterling silver ring never looked so good!
