The Promise Ring: A Sign Of Love And Commitment

The Promise Ring. It is like a title of a movie or a nice romance novel that will sweep you off your feet if you are the romantic kind. It is neither a movie nor a novel. It is a jewelery though that conveys the commitment of two lovers in their relationship. It is a "promise" of loving each other for as long as they can; hence, it is called the Promise Ring.

The Promise Ring can be mistaken as an engagement ring because both signify love and commitment but a promise ring is that - a promise or an understanding about each other's commitment, whereas an engagement ring depicts the progression of the love and relationship into the next level, which is marriage.

The Promise Ring is totally not new. In fact, the millennials have embraced this type of symbolism to depict a promise that is to be kept true and honoured by the receiving party. Oftentimes, it is given as an exchange ring to the other party in the relationship or whomever the promise ring is presented to. It can be customized or made into personalized promise ring, engraved with the giver and recipient's name like the picture below.

This type of ring can mean many thing. Although, it is commonly used by lovers, even parents can present a different form of a promise ring to their child to symbolize the promise of being pure, as it is called Purity Promise Ring.

What ever the promise ring is used for, it shows the symbol of love and commitment entered to by both the giver and the recipient.

Holiday Gift Idea From Soufeel - Christmas Charms Bracelet

** I have received this beautiful charm bracelet from Soufeel complimentary in exchange of my honest review.

I am a woman who is fond of wearing charm bracelet and necklace. I even have another accessory that I wear often even to work. It has tiny charms inside the pendant and I could change it depending on my mood that day. And this time, I have the opportunity to review something I fancy!

I already own a Soufeel Charm bracelet which I also reviewed previously. This time, I have the holiday edition courtesy of Soufeel. I like many things about this jewelry accesory. For one, it costs a lot better than the well-known brand in the market. It also has plenty of charms to choose from which can be interchangeable. You can also select various designs of charms and bracelets depending on your preference. And what is so good with that is, if you feel like dressing up, you can select beads with gems or if you are feeling adventurous or cute, you can fill your bracelet with whimsical charms that reflect how you feel about yourself that day or for whatever the occasion is.

I am very happy with my selections. The charm bracelet is not chunky and not heavy when worn. I really love the intricate details of the little Christmas charms. I like them a lot especially the Santa sleigh, reindeer and the small Christmas log house. The fine details show whether you are viewing the charms from the top profile or at the back.

The charms and bracelets are made of fine sterling silver, Murano glass beads and the others have Crystals from Swarovski in some of their charms/designs.

Finding the right person to spend your life with was the hard part. Finding the right engagement ring can prove much simpler. There are many factors that go into selecting an engagement ring, from the color to the cut and the style. Knowing the choices available to you will make it easier for you to find the best possible engagement ring.

Shape

The first factor to consider when picking out a ring is the shape of the stone. Many people have preferences about which stone they prefer, so asking your fiancee will help you in this crucial decision. There are several shapes to choose from. Round stones are the most commons shape and the majority of diamond rings have round diamonds. Emerald cut stones are clarity enhanced and have a rectangular shape that give off an elegant appearance. Princess cut stones have extra radiance and brilliance and are gaining popularity in the engagement ring arena. Stones also come in pear, diamond, round and oval shapes.

Settings

Once you have settled on a shape, you can choose the best setting for your ring. There are several to choose from, and some work best with specific types of stones. Three-stone settings and baguettes are popular, with many people choosing multiple stones for their rings. Channel rings, in which a cluster of stones are bunched together to form a solid circle of stones, are also gaining in popularity.


Buying Methods

Some couples choose to shop for engagement rings together. This eliminates any confusion about whether you are getting a ring that your fiancee will love. It also destroys the element of surprise and the joy of knowing that you selected the perfect ring that you knew she would love.

If you do choose to surprise your fiancee, take steps to figure out what style suits her best. You can find out whether she likes yellow gold or white gold, large diamonds or small stones. You can do a little digging and ask her friends and family, or simply look through her jewelry box to get an idea of her taste. Make sure anyone you talk to knows that you are trying to keep your ring buying a secret.

Buying an engagement ring is a pivotal moment in many men's lives. There are many choices when it comes to selecting the right ring, and there are many options for a dazzling ring. Find your best engagement ring today.

Find A Jewellery Store Online

Jewelery can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. For a man, a nice watch or a gold ring on his finger can signify that he has a lot of money and wants people to know about it. For a woman, it could mean that she likes to show off and call attention to herself by wearing as many shiny objects as possible.

One of the most recognizable forms of jewelry is the wedding ring. It signifies that you are in a committed relationship with a man or woman who you love and cherish. The ring may come with an inscription on it that means something to both yourself and the person who you are married to.

Jewelry can be quite valuable depending on the size, cut and material that it is made from. A large piece of gold could be worth several thousands of dollars while a silver necklace could also be worth a large sum of money depending on how the silver market is doing.

If you are in the market for a ring or a new pair of earrings, you should find a jewellery store online or go to a local retail mall where you can find a large selection of jewels for sale.

Dip In Gold Price

I have noticed the dip in the gold price here in the UAE for the past few weeks. It is a great news for consumers who love to invest in gold jewelry but not much for traders.

The price went down to several notch like the price drop last end of May. The gold per 10 grams had a drop of 70 AED from the price. And now, the price drop is due to the Dubai Summer Surprise where everything from food to apparel to jewelry to electronics are up on sale. So, if you want to get your hands on that gold that you have been eyeing for sometime and get it for discount jewelry at a very smashing price then now is the time to buy jewelry if you are in the UAE.

Quick Shopping At Double Tap Jewelry At Instagram

I fancy accessories so much but I also enjoy a good bargain. I found these nice affordable pieces of funky, unique, classy and playful accessories at Double Tap Jewelry in Instagram. And yes, I had an online shopping experience while browsing through the numerous lovely pieces of accessories in their Instagram profile.

Before you proceed with shopping, you have to register at http://dtsales.co to get started. Once you are done registering your contact/shipping info and mode of payment details. You can now proceed to Double Tap Jewelry's profile in Instagram.

The selection is not quite vast yet but there are enough to choose from. Once you've decided on what to buy, click on the photo and on the description, it will be mentioned how many they have on the stock. I am just a little concerned about that aspect since Instagram is not interactive and probably not designed to handle e-commerce to track inventory. I am not sure if someone will regularly update the description of the picture when someone actually buys it. However, the whole experience is so convenient. I just hope there's a dynamic ticker that will indicate how many "actual" stock is left.

This could have been the easiest and fastest way to do a transaction. I enjoyed the selection process and really appreciate the fast transaction which is just to leave a comment "sold" on the picture you want to buy with your email address. And that's it. They will ship you your order and charge your card details which they have in the file when you registered in http://dtsales.co.

The whole shopping experience took me less than 10 minutes. I think that's a good amount of time to spend on an online shop for accessories.

College Ring

It's been ages since I last wore my college ring. It's been gathering dust in my jewelry box and I don't know when I can wear it again. It needs to be repaired because the back side of the ring broke. I must have jammed it in the jewelry box when I was sorting stuff.

I like the simple design of my college ring. My mom had it custom-made with an emerald right in the middle. She consulted several brochures of university class rings and found the one that will best represent my alma mater.

I graduated from De La Salle University and it is famously known for the green color of the theme it uses. So, incorporating an emerald in the design was a great idea.

I miss wearing the ring now. It doesn't fit me anymore and I wonder if I can have it re-sized without losing the shape because I don't like bulky college rings. If that doesn't work, I can have it re-done again but I still want the same design my mom made. It's very special to me.

How about you, do you wear your college ring? What design do you prefer?

Accessories For Me

I am not a keen jewelry person. I am happy to wear any kind of accessories even if they are not gold or silver or diamond-studded. I can simply wear threaded and beaded necklace or steel necklace or even the recycled ones as long as they add flair to my style and outfit.

I think my husband is quite lucky because I don't ask for fancy stuff when it comes to jewelries. I am so content with the affordable ones as long as they go well with my outfit.

Jewelry for Masons

If college alumni have their college rings, the same goes with Masons. They are a fraternal organization which helps foster communal unity and provides charitable services and donations to some organizations whether they are Masonic in nature or not.

Members of the Freemasons wear their masonic jewelry which shows the various signs and emblems of the group. Although it is not a mandatory requirement to wear their masonic jewelry, many Masons prefer to show their allegiance to the group by sporting the various masonic jewelry they can purchase or have custom-made.

Fashionable Accessories

I am fond of accessories more than the real deal. I only have jewelries and most of them were from my mom and gifts. I think, I only bought two gold jewelries out of whim.

I enjoy accentuating my outfits, whether they are for office or casual wear with chunky chamilia beads. Some of my long necklaces are wooden and made of glass beads. I have few Swarovski crystals but the rest are made of glass beads and faux-gems.

I really don't mind wearing inexpensive accessories. I think they can be sophisticated too.

Beads and More Beads

My daughter received a nice jewelry making supplies with lots of glass beads for Christmas. She eagerly opened it and started with the project over the weekend. She took my neck measurement and asked for my preferred colors amongst the selection. I happily obliged because she was making me a bead necklace. She knows how much I love wearing accessories rather than the real deal.

Her project is progressing well. She even asked me to try it just to make sure her beads are aligned and the length is enough for me.

She really enjoys doing arts and craft. She is following my footsteps and I am so proud of her. I hope she continues to make use of her God-given talent and creativity for the good.

A Cross with Rose

I have been blogging for sometime now and have never rewarded myself with something special. I saw this website that offers beautiful pieces of cross pendants which I find very interesting.

I have already mentioned before how I normally don't buy myself jewelry because I am not fond of wearing one. However, this cross pendant I found in www.applesofgold.com is truly remarkable. One look and I knew, it was the one I wanted.

The cross pendants in the site's collection are really beautiful. I had to browse through 12 pages of cross pendants for women. The gold cross with rose which I have posted above is the one that truly captivated me. The intricate flower and leaves design is unique. I have not seen a cross pendant like that before.

There are other sites offering similar products which I have visited but nothing compares to this particular site. Their presentation is very straight-forward and clean. The return policy and shipping charges are clearly mentioned by clicking on their respective links. You can also track the status of your order and enjoy the flexibility they offer in terms of payment. The only thing I will suggest to further improve this site is a disclosure of their company's address apart from the toll free numbers mentioned there.

Maybe rewarding myself with a cross pendant is worth all the time and effort I spent blogging. I know it is something that will be very close to my heart at all times.
