Each year, on fashion runways from New York to Paris, Milan, and Toyko, sterling silver is “new again” as designers interpret it in new and exciting ways. What makes sterling silver a fashion perennial? The answer is clear: when it comes to beauty, versatility, durability, and affordability, sterling silver jewelry is unsurpassed.

In the hands of talented artists and designers, sterling silver is constantly “reinvented” to suit the evolving tastes of the women who wear it. But whether as a ring, a necklace, or bracelet, standing alone or presented in combination with gemstones and other precious metalsÂ…sterling silver is always in fashion.

Here’s a look at what’s “hot” this year:

Peace of Silver

In 2004, many Oscar presenters and recipients wore gracefully and simply designed “Dove of Peace.” pin. Embraced by such Hollywood luminaries as Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Drew Barrymore, and Leonardo DiCaprio, it has also been seen on the Dali Lama and Nobel Peace Laureates Oscar Aria Sanchez, Betty Williams, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, and former UN Assistant Secretary-General Gillian Sorrensom.

Now non-celebrities may purchase the pin in sterling silver pin to demonstrate both their commitment to peace and their fashion sense. The 2005 sterling silver interpretation was designed by award-winning American jewelry artist Henry Dunay to resonate the energy of Picasso’s “Dove Of Peace.”

Silver Screen

With the enormous popularity of the “Lord of the Rings” series, it comes as no surprise that designers have created jewelry based on the elaborately crafted pieces in the films. Based on the actual pendant worn in the Lord of the Rings film, the Arwen Evenstar Pendant is crafted in sterling silver and comes in a wooden gift box. Measuring 2-1/2 inches in length with a 18″ sterling silver chain and a Swarovski crystal stone, each piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, adding long-term value to its other charms.

Works Like A Charm

Charm bracelets are both wonderfully retro and extremely cutting edge. Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Avril Levigne, Hilary Duff, and other high-visibility high-fashion celebrities are wrapping their wrists in silver bracelets with the hip L.A. brand “Eldorado Club.”

The “Girlie Charm Bracelet” is adorned with charming femme-friendly charms including a cat, a cocktail glass, and a kitty.

Sterling Silver – Always In Style for Your 25th Anniversary

No matter what list you consult — traditional, modern or the now popular “ultra-modern” (which includes items like clocks and appliances) — silver is the 21st Century gift of choice for a 25th wedding anniversary. Whether it’s silver’s durability, its strength, its flexibility or its unparalleled beauty, sterling silver is an exquisite memento of 25 years of loving commitment between a couple.

Topping the list of this year’s “What’s Hot” in silver wedding anniversary gifts, women say they want charm bracelets, hoop earrings, and hair ornaments. For wives who would like to present their husbands with sterling silver tokens, the “top of the charts” picks are cufflinks, tie clips, money clips, neck chains, and I.D. bracelets.

But #1 for him AND her — a classic sterling silver Tiffany keyring.

Because I am an expert jewelry designer and marketer, I am approached often by my clients about making earrings. Whether you want to make a pair for yourself to match that perfect outfit, as a gift for a friend or to sell at a craft show – Whatever the case may be, here are a few simple steps on making earrings.

Step 1 – Pick out the Findings

What component would you like to use? There are hoops, studs, hook earwires, threads and even clip ons. I would recommend going to your local craft or bead store, or even a large chain like Michaels for the materials. Or if you are an online enthusiast I would HIGHLY recommend the online wholesaler Firemountain Gems as they have loads of decorative earring components that are inexpensive. If you are having trouble deciding what style you want to make, I would look through a magazine or catalogue or find a pair that you have in your jewelry box to model your pair after.

Step 2 – Make sure you have the supplies.

-2 pairs of round nose pliers (I use 2 pairs simultaneously but you can also substitute tweezers)

-2 Head pins (Eye pins will work if you want to make an extra fancy drop on the bottom. The headpins are also available decorated)

-A few jumprings depending on how long you want them to dangle

-Some crystals / gemstones / beads / charms (This is where you can be very creative and chose the style and color you are looking for)

Step 3 – Chose the Style Earring

Decorated Hoop

For a first timer, I would chose the simplest which would be a decorated hoop. You can purchase the sterling or silver plated hoop in the size you want, and then just bead the gemstones, pearls or crystals on the hoop. Once you are finished, you just take the round nosed pliers and bend the clasp to secure the beads from sliding off.

Hoop with Charm

Follow the instructions above, but you can add a charm in the middle. If the charm does not have a ring, just use a jumpring to attach it to the hoop.

Hook Earwire with Basic Charm

This is another VERY simple earring. All you have to do is chose a small charm (you can use a stone, a charm, a crystal whatever you like). If the charm has a ring or bale, you just hook it to the earwire. If it does not, you will need to add a jump ring to attach the two findings.

Hook Earwire with a Decorated Dangle

I prefer this style as it always fits someone’s ear. With studs, you risk the chance of the post being too short.

If you use a hook earwire, you have a couple options to work with. You can use a headpin (decorative ones look best) and you can bead the crystals, spacers, whatever along the headpin. Make sure you leave enough room at the top of the headpin to attach it to the ring at the bottom of the ear wire. Once you have decorated the headpin with the design you like, then use the pliers and bend the top piece into a loop and attach it to the earwire.

Basic Stud with Drop

This one is very simple as well because you can buy the stud already made with the ring along the bottom to attach the charm, crystal or headpin. Just make sure you purchase the stud with the built in jumpring and the drop (crystal recommended) has a hoop/bale at the top that can be attached with pliers or tweezers.

Chandelier

Ok so this one is a bit trickier and you may want to try the basic ones first before attempting the chandelier but with some practice, you will be on your way and it can look very expensive. All you need to do is purchase the findings of the chandelier earring that already has the rings along the bottom. Then you take your jumpring and attach the crystals, pearls or gemstones to each individual ring making it a chandlier. You can also get very creative and multi layer the piece creating an even more dramatic chandelier.

I hope you find these simple steps helpful and I wish you luck in designing your earrings!

No matter how many Mothers Day jewelry gifts you have ever given, be it the first or the fiftieth, Mom has never stopped loving her family or bringing her spirit of love and nurturing to be shared by all whom she touches. So how do you tell her how much you love her so that it seems new every moment of every day of every year? Look for something fresh. Look for something that you know will bring a smile to her face and that you can feel out of the depths of your heart, is a shared appreciation of all she gives and does.

Pearls Embody the Nurturing Quality of Mom

Mothers Day jewelry with pearls speaks of the endless love and nurturing of the sea. This time, to make them unique only to her, give her a matched set of a personalized pearl and silver bead necklace and bracelet with a sterling silver charm engraved with either a monogram, her name, or the name of her baby. Every time she places these gleaming creamy pearls around her wrist and neck, she will remember the love in your eyes and know how much she is appreciated.

To let her know without a doubt the essence of your message, give her a creamy white, fresh water pearl necklace that lies elegantly around her neck and spells out “L O V E” on 4 sterling silver charms interspersed between the largest pearls in the center of the necklace. For a new mom, for your beautiful mother, or the special woman in your life who has seen many generations of love be birthed, this simple but elegant Mothers Day jewelry will remind her for always.

Especially for the new mom, both pearl necklaces will coordinate perfectly with a gorgeous fresh water pearl and rose Swarovski crystal bracelet. When you snap closed the sterling silver heart clasp and she reads the name of her newborn child spelled out on the sterling silver alphabet beads, the endless embrace of the timeless ripples of the ocean will sooth and nurture this tireless mom, bringing great joy to the entire family.

Gold Mothers Day Jewelry Reflects the Source of her Strength

There is no one as strong as Mom. Her heart of gold soothed you when you had fever, sang to you when you could not sleep and held you when your heart first broke. Give her an adorable Mothers Day necklace of 24kt gold vermeil hearts imprinted with the foot prints of baby and the initial of her first born. They will rest, nestled against her own heart, and remind her of the tenderness in your eyes and the warmth of your embrace.

To compliment this necklace, wrap a gorgeous gold and silver baby name bracelet around her wrist as well. Handmade from champagne colored freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, 14kt gold beads, and sterling silver block alphabet beads, the sophistication of this Mothers Day jewelry can be carried anywhere by this very special Mom.

Like normal hoops but really small. I want really basic ones. I don’t want rhinestones or crystals, beads, ect. I don’t want the hoops to be like flat or anything. Just round and small.

This set gives you gorgeous options that will let you get color as varied as garnet, jet black, lavender, raspberry and chocolate brown Swarovski crystals.

The sterling silver that this piece is set with gives it an almost ethereal glow, and you’ll find that it is a subtly modern twist that even the most traditional bride can approve of.

Take some time and really plan out what your jewelry is going to be for your big day. Make a choice that really suits you and your tastes, and always remember to try on the whole set with the dress before the wedding! Traditional brides have plenty of options and you can’t go wrong with pearls!
