18k Yellow Gold Stackable Rings

18k yellow gold stackable rings is a neat concept. Being “stackable” means that you can buy different rings that are all good rings on their own that can be worn singly, but you can add to them and wear them all together. The 18k yellow gold stackable rings sit neatly next to one another on the finger to combine to make what looks like a larger piece of jewelry. You can collect additional rings of your choice and make a unique ring, rather like you can collect charms for a charm bracelet.

18k yellow gold stackable rings are available at Etzy.com and can even be handmade to your choice for the same price of around $165. Plain band type 18k yellow gold stackable rings are also on sale with smithandsilver.com, but they retail at around $330. Both styles of ring are stylish and fun. The idea of building up a ring of your choice by adding more “stacks” as time goes by is a good one. You could add a ring for your partner for each year you had been together or for other anniversaries. The rings are also available in white gold or platinum.

If you really liked this idea and wanted to start your own collection of stackable rings, a good place to look for them and save a lot of money on retail prices would be at Bidz.com. This online auction site offers a vast array of jewelry of all styles to suit all tastes. The difference at Bidz.com is that you bid in a $1 no reserve auction and you can pick up some real bargains and save many dollars over the usual retail prices. Just imagine how quickly you could build up your jewelry collection of versatile and tasteful rings by shopping at Bidz.com.

Filigree Aquamarine Rings

The term filigree is used to describe delicate and intricate ornamentation. It can be applied to lace in particular as this gives it the delicate and open effect of the fine threads of silk or cotton. In the jewelry world the filigree technique can be applied to making ring settings for precious stones in gold, silver, or platinum. The technique of working in filigree dates back to the 3rd century.

Filigree Aquamarine Rings are particularly lovely; the delicacy of the setting enhances the subtlety of the color of the stone. Traditionally the birth stone for the month of March, a filigree aquamarine ring would be a great present for someone with a birthday in that month.

The styling of some of the filigree aquamarine rings available echoes the designs of the Art Deco period, when filigree was particularly popular. The antique rings show the skilful design and craftsmanship that went in to the production of this type of jewelry. The antique jewelry in the filigree style is just beautiful. The lacy effect of the setting in yellow gold, or even better in white gold or platinum is stunning and for anyone who likes delicacy and refinement in their jewelry a filigree aquamarine ring would fit the bill.

Obviously, rings like this don’t come cheap, but if your heart was set on one, you could try Bidz.com where a great collection of jewelry is available.

Blue Nile Aquamarine Rings

Blue Nile Aquamarine Rings are very stylish, especially with their white gold setting and diamonds next to the aquamarine stone. The aquamarine is traditionally the birthstone for the month of March and a ring like this would make an ideal gift for someone with their birthday in that month. The beautiful subtle blue of the Blue Nile Aquamarine Rings shows their quality. The stones are cut to give of their maximum, catching the light to make them sparkle. They are renowned for their clarity. 

Blue Nile Aquamarine Rings don’t look garish or cheap and the delicacy of the color is the key to this quality look. These rings would be complemented by matching earrings and bracelets, such as the aquamarine bezel set bracelet available from Bluenile.com. Prices here are not cheap but there is a good choice of matching sets of jewelry and you could build up your collection bit by bit if you had the time to save your money.

One of the difficulties would be waiting to save enough to buy all the pieces you wanted. When you see a Blue Nile Aquamarine Ring you can just see what quality it is and you know you would normally have to pay a premium price. This can be a real pain; saving up is not a strong point for me and most women want their jewelry and they want it now. A great place to look online would be at Bidz.com as they offer an online $1 no reserve auction facility for all kinds of jewelry. I am sure I would find what I wanted but I would be spoilt for choice as Bidz.com has such a wide range of items on offer, but at the prices at auction, maybe I could treat myself to more bracelets or earrings to match.

Bracelet Charm Silver Vintage

Silver charm bracelets – just how charming are they? Charm bracelets in silver have been popular since Victorian times, but have had their moments of going out of fashion. The days of the early 1960’s when a heavily charmed silver bracelet was something to be envied, gave way in the 1970’s to twenty years or more of silver charm bracelets being out of fashion. Now, with the vintage silver charm bracelet market going from strength to strength with the passion for anything retro the silver charm bracelet is back with a bang.

For a while bracelets with only one charm were the fashion but now it is popular once again to collect charms of various types to adorn your bracelet. It is particularly cool if you can build up a collection of vintage charms to adorn a silver charm bracelet. Charms are popular as presents for people so that the wearer can build up their assortment of charms. Various web outlets offer charms. Charmworks.com; jewellryboxx.com and then there is Squidoo.com, which is particularly dedicated to vintage silver charm bracelets and the history of charm bracelets.

Giving charms or small bracelets with a charm attached as wedding favors is a wonderful idea and really cute as you could match the charm to the wedding theme.

Men’s 1/4 Carat Diamond Ring

I am not at all sure that I like men who wear diamond rings. I think they look much better in plain jewelry, much more in keeping with a suave look. That smooth image would be ruined by a man wearing a men’s ¼ carat diamond ring. You don’t see James Bond wearing a men’s ¼ carat diamond ring. I think that diamond rings for men seem to be more associated with men who are on the seedy side of life. They think they have something to prove and try and look flashy with diamonds on their fingers (and sometimes in their teeth too!) – not a good look.

A large selection of men’s ¼ cut diamond rings is available at Diamonds-USA.com, many of them are over $4,000. There are different designs; some two color gold, and I can’t believe just how vulgar they look. These and diamond stud earrings on men must just be the worst look possible. The only exception to that would be if a man is lucky enough to be as stunningly good looking as David Beckham. Now, he can wear diamonds wherever and however he likes and get away with looking really cool. But then he is just class.

If you really wanted to try and see if you have got what it takes to wear men’s diamond jewelry, then you could not do better than to try to buy it via the online website Bidz.com. This site offers a fantastic choice of all types of jewelry from rings, bracelets and earrings to necklaces and beyond. The auction is on a $1 no reserve bidding basis and you could pick up a real bargain as the price you will pay will be well below the retail prices that you would have to find at other jewelry outlets.
