Fall Trends 2009

As I was out shopping I noticed layered necklaces continue to be a popular look this season. Multiple chains, often strung with charms and beads, are one version of the style. Just as popular are multi-stranded necklaces made from beads of varying gemstones, shapes, sizes, and colors. The necklaces might be
ready-made for layering, but don't hesitate to mix and match your own jewelry. Raid your jewelry box and stack a few necklaces around your neck.
Want to wear something a little more simple yet bold try conversation starting chandelier earrings.
You will never hear the end of how great you look. Who doesn't love attention?

What To Look For In Silver Jewelry

Charming Life Designs is in the business of designing and manufacturing handcrafted jewelry and specialty charms. All of the collections are created using only quality materials including genuine gemstones, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals and precious metals (sterling silver or 14K gold fill).

Many jewelry designers, including Charming Life Designs, use silver extensively in their collections due to its durability, beauty and its affordability.

When purchasing silver jewelry, what should the consumer look for? The standard for high quality silver jewelry is sterling silver. Since pure silver is very soft, it is combined with copper to create a metal that is both strong and durable. For centuries, sterling silver has been 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Today, jewelry that is sterling silver must be stamped with 925 indicating that it has been made with 92.5 percent silver.

Sterling silver jewelry is beautiful, durable and affordable. One can be assured, when purchasing sterling silver jewelry from Charming Life Designs, the quality of workmanship is unsurpassed.

Enjoy,

Safety Pin Jewelry Trend

I saw Avril Levine on tv showing off her new line of kids fashions. One girl was wearing a heavy chain necklace, actually two strands of it, and the longer one had two giant safety pins holding the chain together. I wonder if giant safety pins are the new trend in jewelry? Keep your eyes open for what people are wearing these days. I'm curious what will be popular this year.

Day One

Here we go. The creative team of jewelry designers at Charming Life Designs has decided to start a jewelry blog. Our goal is to share our years of jewelry design experience, business know-how (things to do and not to do when starting your own small business), fashion trends, tricks of the trade, and helpful information that we have gathered through the years. Day One was consumed with setting up the blogspot. Barbara thought it was be an easy task, but hours later she is finally ready to sign off.
