Prices At The Mall Higher Than Online Jewelry Stores

My teenage daughter received a gift card from Hot Topic for Christmas so of course, we needed to head to the mall as soon as possible for her to spend it.  Spend it she did.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like she got too much for her gift card even with all the sales and clearances posted in the mall.

While waiting for her to finish shopping, I did some checking of my own on silver jewelry and costume jewelry prices at the mall versus an online jewelry store.  For just about every item I looked at, the price was much cheaper online - including shipping charges if any.  Many online stores offer free shipping for orders over a certain amount of money or jewelry coupon codes that will discount the order 5, 10, or eve 25% off the regular price.

The moral of the story is just because the store says their items are reduced or on clearance, often times your better buy is through an online store that doesn’t have the high rent and overhead of a mall store.

Selecting Bridesmaid Jewelry For Your Bridal Party

Jewelry is an excellent gift to give your bridesmaids. Not only can they wear it at the wedding, but they will be able to treasure it for years to come. It doesn’t have to outlandishly expensive to say “thank you for taking part in my special day.”

There are many inexpensive yet very tasteful options available for bridesmaid jewelry. Gift sets that include a necklace and earrings and maybe even a bracelet can be purchased in a variety of styles. Something silver or gold and classic in style will go with most anything. You can also find sets that utilize colored stones to match the colors of your wedding. For example, a Christmas wedding might call for a stunning ruby red jewelry set. Pearls are always a great choice for wedding jewelry as well, because of their timelessness.

The styles available in wedding jewelry are wide in variety. Chokers, Y necklaces, teardrop pendants, lariat necklaces, vintage or costume jewelry, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, floral vine necklaces, teardrop or chandelier earrings are just a few of the options available. There is something to suit anyone’s tastes.

A few things you might want to keep in mind in selecting the style of jewelry are how it complements the dress, both neckline and color. A V-neck works well with a pendant, choker, or single strand of pearls. A sweetheart or halter neckline or a strapless gown often look better with no necklace and simply a stunning pair of chandelier earrings. White gowns look better with silver, platinum, or pearl. Ivory pearl jewelry sets looks best with gold or pearl. So, if you’re going to have the bridesmaids’ jewelry match your own, then take the color of your gown into consideration.

Jewelry is a quality gift that will be worn again and again (possibly unlike the bridesmaid dress!) Hopefully, each time your bridesmaids wear your extraordinary gift they will look back with fond memories of your special day.

Bridal Jewelry Accessories For The Modern Bride

Trying to decide on bridal jewelry and bridal accessories for your upcoming wedding? One way to never go wrong with jewelry for wedding is wear a classic look or design such as pearls. Beautiful pearls coordinates with all gowns, ivory, white, or even something as radical as black or red. Pearls look great in a gold setting or a silver setting; this includes white gold and platinum.

If you’ve decided to have your hair styled in an up-style, consider a unique bridal jewelry set for your wedding day like a Triple Row Pearl Necklace and Earring Set. A beautiful necklace set of this design will make the neck seem longer and add simple elegance to it while earrings drop down and frame the face just slightly. The Triple Row Pearl Necklace has four pearls dropping down from the necklace to relax against your collar bone (or just below your neck, depending on how tight it’s put on) to draw attention to the base of your neck and dress.

Another beautiful necklace for a up-style hairdo is Victorian Bridal Jewelry Set. This is a more elaborately designed bridal jewelry set but it still shows off the curve of the neck and makes it seem longer than it really is. The teardrop effect is a favorite giving the base of the neck more attention and showing off how nice the collar bone looks.
