A Look At The Years of Celebrities Wearing Jewelry
A Look At The Years of Celebrities Wearing Jewelry
For as far back as one can remember famous celebrities have been wearing the jewelry made by famous jewelry designers. Through out many eras and many styles the celebrities and jewelry designers have held a close bond. Who better to display your beautiful pieces than a beautiful celebrity that has already captured the audiences attention.
Elizabeth Taylor will always be remembered for her glamorous and beautiful look. I cannot remember any time that I have seen Elizabeth without her jewels to adorn her. This was a lady with a fashion style like no other. From gorgeous pearls adorning her face to beautiful diamonds adorning her neck. She knew how to make a fashion statement!
Ava Gardner was a woman with a glamorous fashion style that did not go unnoticed. Whether she choose to wear her best diamond earrings or her favorite Trifari necklace she always looked spectacular. There are many of us who could pick up a few tips from Ava’s flare!
Joan Crawfard and Joan Collins are another two that simply can’t be outdone. One must wonder how a women so easily learns to be that refined and beautiful at all times. Like Cleopatra it seems to be bred deep within the soul.
Let us not forget about royalty. Although not perhaps celebrities as we think of them still important figure heads that are within the public eye. How about the gorgeous jewels of the Duchess of Windsor or Umbero II of Italy. Then there was Princess Mary of Great Britain who was seldom seen without her jewelry adornments.
To more modern times, what about that beautiful engagement ring that Camela Parker Bowls was seen wearing. An outstanding piece of jewelry on a women that quite commonly presents herself in a very traditional refined style. No glamour here except for that drop dead gorgeous ring!
Whether we are talking about Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, or Katie Holmes celebrities give us the opportunity to see jewelry designs in play. They instantly help develop a desire for a certain jewelry piece or look.
We’ve got plenty we can learn from the styles of celebrities. And once these designer jewelry pieces grab hold it isn’t long before someone is making a similar piece that our pocket books can afford.

April Celebrities Share The Diamond Birthstone With You
If you are still young enough to admit you have birthdays and your birthday falls in April then you already know the diamond is April’s birthstones. Celebrities who already have a love affair with diamonds are even more apt to be seen wearing diamonds if their birthday is in April. There are many April celebrities that share the diamond birthstone with you.
But did you know that the diamond is also deep in mystical powers from ancient times? It is said to enhance ones competence, trust and love relationships.
Diamonds also have a long history in their medicinal qualities. During ancient times diamonds were believed to heal illness. Diamonds were first placed into the bed to warm the diamond to enhance their healing qualities.
It is even said that over the centuries Cupid’s arrows were tipped in diamonds and thus it earned its reputation as the perfect gift of love.
The white and brilliant hues diamonds signify life, joy and innocence. But really diamonds come in a wide range of colors other than white which includes shades of gray, brown, yellow, blue, red, and green.
Pre 1400’s diamonds were only available to those of royal blood who were the only people able to wear the symbol of courage and invincibility. During the mid 1400s The Archduke Maximillian gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy beginning the long tradition of diamond engagement rings which is still carried on today.
The practice of wearing a diamond engagement ring on the third finger often referred to as the ring finger began in Egyptian times because it was believed the vein of love ran through this finger directly to the heart.
Besides being the birthstone for April there is no gift that is more symbolic of love than a diamond and no more convincing promise of eternal and everlasting love.
Ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars that had fallen from the sky making a visit to earth. Others revered to diamonds as Gods Tears or dew drops. The origin of the first diamond has never been solved and remains a mystery to geologists and sciences even today.
Initially geologists thought that India was the first river-bed source for mining diamonds. The ancient Hindus called the diamond Vajra which means lightening. It earned this name because of its incredible strength and the light rays it emitted. Besides being the most beautiful gem they are also the hardest substance found on earth. Diamonds have been mined Botswana, Australia, Russia and South Africa, and recently Canada has been added to that list.
April does have an alternative birthstone which is the opal. Unlike diamonds which are simply crystallized carbon, opals are found deep within the earth where the intense heat develops this beautiful stone.
So even though there are many April celebrities that share the diamond birthstone with you the diamond is a celebrity and star all on its own. Recognized back to ancient times for its symbol of love and its beautiful brilliance.

Celebrities Are Choosing Blue Sapphires For Jewelry
Has anyone noticed what gem the celebrities seem to be wearing allot of recently? Blue Sapphire!! So I thought now would be a good time to share some info on the sapphire.
The island once known as Serendib, now known as Sri Lanka is where Sapphires were first mined. The ancients believed the power of wisdom was held by the sapphire, and that wearing a sapphire would allow you to make the correct decision when challenged by obstacles. The spectrum of color offered by sapphires is wide they come in many shapes and sizes providing a vast amount of variety.
Sapphire gems have been treasured for thousands of years, symbolizing truth, wisdom, and faithfulness. Mythology states that a sapphire worn by a wicked or evil person will not shine. The word sapphire comes from the Latin word sapphirus . Sapphires are one of the earliest colored gems known to man.
The intense medium dark blue is the most sought after color for Blue Sapphires. Sri Lanka, and Burma produce very fine pure Blue Sapphires, So does Cambodian but these are sometimes slightly darker.
Australian Sapphires have more of a green overtone. Intensity, uniformity and purity of color are the most important considerations when making a decision about the purchase of a Blue Sapphire. Fine Blue Sapphires should not contain any overtones or secondary colors. The overall beauty of the stone will depend on the cutting. Blue Sapphire jewelry remains one of most sought after jewelry and represents a good investment.
The most valuable sapphires are a rich blue with almost a violet hue. Quality sapphires will maintain their brightness under all types of lighting. Sapphires with minimal or no visible flaws are most valuable. Kashmir sapphires often have a velvet softness rather than being transparent which enhances the richness of the blue. Inclusions and color zoning are very common in sapphires and do not affect their beauty unless they are extreme. Sapphires are second in hardness to diamonds.
Clean your sapphire with warm soapy water. Ultrasonic cleaning is also safe. You can use a touch of ammonia in the warm soapy water to remove any film and increase sparkle.
Blue sapphires should be worn by women or men that have a well balanced life style, a sense of spirit, and who are open to new ideas.

The Best of the Best Five Years Ago
September 19, 2000, Forbes set out to find the best Web sites in its Best of the Web issue, which hit newsstands at the beginning of September. Forbes reviewed hundreds of sites, including 15 in the retail jewelry category, and the results provide helpful information to retail jewelers already on the Web or planning to be there.
According to Forbes, the best jewelry retail sites offer detailed images, educational content and airtight return policies. Others go the extra mile and offer chat and forums. Here are the sites ranked as best in jewelry along with a little bit of insight into what Forbes likes and dislikes:
* Adornis.com – Forbes loves its multiple close-up views of the products, the A-Z encyclopedia of jewelry terminology and the articles like "Jewelry and Royalty." The site's only downfall, according to Forbes, is its gift suggestions aren't specific enough.
* AntiqueAndEstate.com – Sharp pictures that show detail of each product and the update page that features the newest products caught Forbes' attention. However, the small product selection left Forbes wanting more.
* Denmans.com – Despite the short item descriptions, Denman's selection and fun features like a slide-rule that tells you what gems are available in each price range put it in the best of the Web.
* Ebay.com – Forbes had to mention the great selection and simple and efficient search features of this site, especially in the huge jewelry section. Beware of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the product images and the lack of guarantees on merchandise.
* Miadora.com – Miadora topped the picks because of its generous suggestions area, detailed search function, online chat with sales representatives and the option to find companion pieces for most products. Its only downfall is the lack of multiple product views.
* Mondera.com – The learning center filled with information to help any shopper stands out at Mondera, but Forbes finds some of the site content, like "20 ways to pop the question," a little corny.
* Tiffany.com – Although the product images weren't large and engagement rings were nowhere to be found on the site, Tiffany made it on the list with the best because of its good use of Flash design, helpful jewelry-buying tips and simple navigation.
* BlueNile.com – This Internet-only jeweler was picked as Forbes' favorite in the jewelry category. Forbes' editors liked Blue Nile's "Design Your Own Ring" feature, but they would have liked to see recommendations for gifts to buy for men.

According to Forbes, the best jewelry retail sites offer detailed images, educational content and airtight return policies. Others go the extra mile and offer chat and forums. Here are the sites ranked as best in jewelry along with a little bit of insight into what Forbes likes and dislikes:
* Adornis.com – Forbes loves its multiple close-up views of the products, the A-Z encyclopedia of jewelry terminology and the articles like "Jewelry and Royalty." The site's only downfall, according to Forbes, is its gift suggestions aren't specific enough.
* AntiqueAndEstate.com – Sharp pictures that show detail of each product and the update page that features the newest products caught Forbes' attention. However, the small product selection left Forbes wanting more.
* Denmans.com – Despite the short item descriptions, Denman's selection and fun features like a slide-rule that tells you what gems are available in each price range put it in the best of the Web.
* Ebay.com – Forbes had to mention the great selection and simple and efficient search features of this site, especially in the huge jewelry section. Beware of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the product images and the lack of guarantees on merchandise.
* Miadora.com – Miadora topped the picks because of its generous suggestions area, detailed search function, online chat with sales representatives and the option to find companion pieces for most products. Its only downfall is the lack of multiple product views.
* Mondera.com – The learning center filled with information to help any shopper stands out at Mondera, but Forbes finds some of the site content, like "20 ways to pop the question," a little corny.
* Tiffany.com – Although the product images weren't large and engagement rings were nowhere to be found on the site, Tiffany made it on the list with the best because of its good use of Flash design, helpful jewelry-buying tips and simple navigation.
* BlueNile.com – This Internet-only jeweler was picked as Forbes' favorite in the jewelry category. Forbes' editors liked Blue Nile's "Design Your Own Ring" feature, but they would have liked to see recommendations for gifts to buy for men.

What Type Of Engagement Rings Does Your Favorite Celebrity Choose
What Type Of Engagement Rings Does Your Favorite Celebrity Choose
Whether we like it or not current trends in engagement rings say bigger is so much better. Just have a look at what style engagement rings celebrities are choosing. And of course what’s good for them is good for the rest of us.
J Lo’s engagement to Ben Flick also started an interesting trend of consumers seeking out pink diamonds. In no other time in history have pink diamonds been as popular as right after J Lo placed that pink diamond engagement ring on her finger.
Do any of you remember Marilyn Monroe sexily purring “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend?” Do you have any idea what that did the engagement ring market.
Guys are still paying for that statement. Sure back in the 50s women knew it wouldn’t be sensible to wear such a large engagement ring but that didn’t mean a gal couldn’t yearn for it.
Today a women wouldn’t feel in the least bit guilty about wearing such a diamond, in fact there are many a women that judge how well they are loved by the size of the rock they are wearing because they “know” what Marilyn knew, that “diamonds are infact a girls best friend.”
When we see the engagement rings worn by stars like Madonna or Catherine Zeta-Jones we take notice and their choices influence the trends that follow. Celebrities are the leaders in setting fashion and jewelry trends.
Madonna with her Edwardian engagement ring and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s antique styled 10 carat diamond ring has revived the desire to own a beautiful antique engagement ring. In fact it’s one of the hottest engagement ring styles in 20 years.
The size of the diamonds in current styles has also grown from the average one carat to over three carats. That’s a pretty big rock that’s going to set you back a bit. But girls know they deserve it!
If you aren’t sure whether bigger is better than have a look at the jewels at this years Oscars which are said to total over $50 million dollars in value. Wonder how many vaults it took to keep those locked up for the night?
With bling being the in thing one has to stop and wonder how the heck normal average working guys plan to pay for these rings. When their fiancés are asked the standard answer is “doesn’t matter I’m worth it.
That’s great if your guy is earning a 6 figure salary but wait what if he’s not. What if he’s joe average living from pay day to pay day. What should he do move into the bush and give up his home, perhaps take up walking and sell his car?
Wait guys maybe you can get away with a really good quality cubic zirconia. No guarantees but it might be worth a try. Most of the high end ones can only be identified by a quality jeweler. Then again maybe she won’t care as long as it’s big and impressive.
Okay girls lets be real here. Dreaming and lusting for that big 5 carat rock is just fine. No problem with dreaming, but when it comes time for your man to buy that ring remember that the ring is not what you are marrying so perhaps it’s time to consider the quality and quantity of the husband to be rather than the ring.
Big diamond or little diamond it doesn’t matter as long as the two of you are blissfully happy. Let the celebrities wear their big diamonds and let them sparkle and shine in the lime light. It doesn’t matter because you got your man! That’s what counts!

Celebrities Like Their Pearls
Pearls never go out of style – they are always a classy and traditional wardrobe accessory that will never disappoint you. But this year they are a “front and center” fashion statement! Just ask celebrities like Sandra Bullok, Jennifer Anistan, or Courtney Cox.
So with more people in the market for pearls now is a good time for some “pearl talk.”
The pearl has always been a rather prim and proper piece of jewelry – classic and seeped in tradition. Well things they are a changing! The pearl is has had a very glamorous make over!
Yes, the classic strand still exists as it always will. But we warned we are seeing some vary daring looks from the pearl this season. Extra long lengths, tasseled multi strands, pearls with semi precious stone accents, pearls on gold or silver chains. The pearl has been transformed into a fun and fashionable accessory.
So if you’re going to be in the market for pearls this year here is what the Celebrities say you should know.
· The glow or radiance of a pearl is the most important quality. Avoid pearls that are chalky or dull as they will be weak and may crack or peal.
· The surface of the pearl should be blemish free – no bumps or cracks. Inspect under a bright light. Baroque pearls are the exception to this rule – their charm is in their irregularities.
· Pearls are measured in millimeters. The larger the pearl the higher the cost. A 6 mm pearl is going to be much less than a 12 mm pearl
· The least expensive pearls are the freshwaters which mainly come from China. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Average size is around 7 mm
· The best way to care for your pearls is simply to wear them. The natural skin oils keep them moisturized. Do not put them on until you are done with your cosmetics. This includes hair, facial, and perfume. The residues from these products will ruin your pearls. Do not wear your pearls in the water – chlorinated and salt water will damage them. Polish with a soft cloth and never use jewelry cleaning products on your pearls.
Quality pearls are not cheap but they will last a lifetime. Freshwater pearls are becoming very affordable. Not all of us will be in the market for “Real Pearls” and lucky us there are plenty of options. Swarovski makes a crystal pearl that is of the finest quality and quite difficult to tell from a true pearl for a fraction of the cost and they are available in a variety of colors.
There is an endless supply of imitation pearl or costume jewelry pearls on the market. These are offered in a wide variety of styles and colors. Great fun at affordable prices. Do you think Jennifer Garner wears the real thing for bumming around?
So you ask what’s “In Style” this season? Well I’m glad you asked!
· Pearl rings get the green flag – from low settings to monster large solitaire pearls, they are all the rave. A pearl ring can go from romantic and simple to sleek and stunning.
· The Bib Necklace makes a very dramatic statement. A broad necklace that tapers towards the back just like a baby’s bib [thus the name]. They range from extremely wide to as narrow as a ½”. This style works great with a simple black dress or strapless neckline.
· The multi-strand necklace is ever so preppy. They range from 12” to 18” and pearls are usually small to medium. The object of these necklaces is for every pearl to be in perfect placement. Very versatile and fashionable.
· The opera length necklace simply never disappears from the fashion scene. They measure 36” or longer and they can be worn as a long single lean line, doubled up, tied in a knot, wherever the moment takes you. These long strands are terrific for dressing up a pair of jeans or semi casual look.
· The tassel necklace from the footloose and fancy free1920s has made a come back, and rightly so! Today tassels are often made from tiny seed pearls or irregular baroques. They range in length fro short at 16” to navel length at 36”. The tassel necklace swings and sways with your movement making it a must have for those night of dancing.
· This season for first time, we are seeing pearls mixed with colored gems such as amethyst, peridot, or topaz. They compliment each other nicely – pearls with their soft and subtle shades mixed with semi precious gems with their vibrant and bold color. Picture it – what a fashion statement!
· Pearls mixed with silver is also new this season. Long silver chain dangle earrings accented with pearls, or freshwater droplets set on silver.
· This season the pearl is all about the color. Pearls are available in many hues but this season the “hot spot” is “lavender” and the lavender family ranging from pale iris to plum.
If you already own a beautiful classic pearl necklace its very easy to transform it into something from this season. Try adding a group of charms or pendants, fastening a vintage brooch or clip[ on earring at the bottom. You could mix various lengths or sizes of pearls together or entwine a silver or gold chain. How about mixing your real pearls with your fake pearls? The options are as endless as your imagination.
Remember when you freshen your wardrobe for the spring, freshen your costume jewelry too and Make Your Fashion Statement!

· This season for first time, we are seeing pearls mixed with colored gems such as amethyst, peridot, or topaz. They compliment each other nicely – pearls with their soft and subtle shades mixed with semi precious gems with their vibrant and bold color. Picture it – what a fashion statement!
· Pearls mixed with silver is also new this season. Long silver chain dangle earrings accented with pearls, or freshwater droplets set on silver.
· This season the pearl is all about the color. Pearls are available in many hues but this season the “hot spot” is “lavender” and the lavender family ranging from pale iris to plum.
If you already own a beautiful classic pearl necklace its very easy to transform it into something from this season. Try adding a group of charms or pendants, fastening a vintage brooch or clip[ on earring at the bottom. You could mix various lengths or sizes of pearls together or entwine a silver or gold chain. How about mixing your real pearls with your fake pearls? The options are as endless as your imagination.
Remember when you freshen your wardrobe for the spring, freshen your costume jewelry too and Make Your Fashion Statement!

Birthstone Jewelry Beliefs and Celebrity Birthdays
Wearing birthstone jewelry is very popular today. Not only is it fashionable; somehow, it also makes the item feel more personal and part of the wearer’s personality. Almost all gems are believed to be imbued with some special sort of power and this is one of the reasons why it is considered lucky to wear birthstone jewelry. Let’s look at some of the mystical properties and beliefs about these special gems and some famous people who would wear them.
January’s birthstone, the garnet, is believed to have blood purification properties and to protect against poisoning. Actress Faye Dunaway and supermodel Kate Moss are two celebrities who were born in January.
The amethyst, the gem of the month for February, is a symbol of serenity and peace. In addition, it’s reputed to protect the wearer from intoxication. Princess Stephanie of Monaco, singer Roberta Flack and actress Drew Barrymore have amethysts in their birthstone jewelry.
March’s birthstone is the clear blue aquamarine. Perhaps because of its color, it is sacred among sailors, who believe that it will protect them from the perils of the sea. NBA player Shaquille O’Neal, heartthrob Freddie Prinze Jr. and singing legend Liza Minnelli are among the celebrities who are under the protection of the aquamarine.
The eternally stylish and elegant diamond is April’s birthstone. Believed to symbolize true love, it is the most popular gem used in wedding rings. Among the notables having diamond birthstone jewelry are England’s Queen Elizabeth II, actress Jessica Alba and tennis player Andre Agassi.
May’s birthstone is the enigmatic emerald. Some people believe that emeralds are magic and had the ability to make the wearer psychic. Famous people having the emerald as their birthstone include British Prime Minister Tony Blair, socialite Bianca Jagger and singer Janet Jackson.
The simple and classic pearl is the birthstone for June. It is viewed by various cultures as a symbol of power, love, purity and chastity. Pearl birthstone jewelry celebrities count sex symbols Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie among their numbers.
The red ruby is July’s birthstone. It is believed to help in matters of love and to enhance sexual prowess. Hollywood actor Tom Cruise and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, are among the celebrities born in July.
Birthstone jewelry for August includes the lime green peridot, is traditionally believed to give good sleep and protect the wearer from nightmares. Oscar winner Halle Berry and Grammy winner Whitney Houston are two of the women who count the peridot as their birthstone.
Sapphire is the birthstone for September. It is believed the give the power of precognition and is also linked to joy and peace. Two glamorous figures who can be poster babies for sapphire birthstone jewelry are actresses Brigitte Bardot and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The delicate opal is October’s birthstone. Some cultures believe the opal brings bad luck, while others associate it with innocence and purity. Tony-winning actress Julie Andrews and U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton were born in October.
The topaz is central in November’s birthstone jewelry. Medicine men and women in some cultures used ground topaz in their concoctions to heal asthma, and the birthstone was also reputed to have a calming effect on the quick-tempered. The late Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco and Hollywood actress Demi Moore are two examples of famous November babies.
Finally, we have turquoise as December’s birthstone. The Indians of North America revered this gem because of its power to warn the wearer of danger and because of the luck it brought. Pop princess Britney Spears and film director Steven Spielberg celebrate their birthdays in December.
Wearing birthstone jewelry is a popular tradition that continues to this day. Necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, brooches and many other dress accessories adorned with these gems are not only fashionable but also more meaningful for the wearer or for the recipients of such gifts. Also, having birthstone jewelry is a reminder that you have at least one thing in common with celebrities!

BIG DIAMONDS at Justice Jewelers
I just saw an ad in the paper for Justice Jewelers advertising how they OWN BIG DIAMONDS which saves us money. I guess Woody buys them from the cutters instead of a bunch of middle men and not on memo or anything like that. Woody buys the diamonds saving him a premium and he can then pass those savings on to us and save us BIG money on these BIG diamonds! The ad had diamonds as big as 6 carats!! Everything was priced so low I couldnt believe it.

Justice Jewelers Company History
Company History:
Justice Jewelers began in August of 1982 when Woody Justice, a GIA Gemologist and instructor, opened an office in the Corporate Center in Springfield, MO and began doing appraisals and selling jewelry by appointment. After a couple of years, Woody realized that the
In 1984, Woody decided to move to a more traditional retail store, and opened Justice Jewelers at 1308 E Sunshine. In 1989, Woody began his famous radio advertising, using late-night radio to advertise engagement rings to the younger couples. Now, there is no one in
In 1990, Woody moved his store to the
Then, in 1994, Justice Jewelers had simply outgrown its location. It was overcrowded, they had a lack of show space, and they were unable to broaden their product lines to attract any new customers.
The decision was made to move to a new idea in Jewelry Retail. Justice Jewelers began building a new home, on Highway 65 and Battlefield, which would allow them to grow even more. In May of 1996, Justice Jewelers' new Superstore opened with a 9,500-sq. ft. building, 5,000-sq. ft. showroom, and approximately 320 lineal feet of showcase space. The new site also included much larger repair facility, with room for 6 goldsmiths and a watchmaker. A drive up window in the shop has made the repair services very convenient.
