Sure, your bridal gown carries a lot of weight fashion-wise, but let’s not discount the importance of the necklace you pair with it. Consider your jewelry the “cherry on top” bringing your whole finished look together and sends a powerful message since its so enhanced by the beauty of the gown.

Here are some smart necklace pairing tips for your bridal jewelry. (Remember: many of the same pairing tips apply with any outfit.)

Isn’t it interesting that we always seem to know when someone is in love? They seem to radiate a certain relaxed glow. No, jewelry, make-up or cosmetic surgery can replace it. Why? Because it comes from within.

You know what else comes from within? Relaxation. A relaxed face is a central component of beauty and is only a few easy steps away.

Intent.com suggests the following to keep your face looking young:

• Raise your eyebrows as high as you can and hold them for five seconds.

 

• Open your mouth as wide as possible and stick your tongue out as far as you can and hold for a few seconds.

 

• Using your three center fingers, press down on your cheeks and smile as hard as you can to raise your cheek muscles against your fingers.

 

• Move your nose as much as you can from side to side.

 

• Lift your eyebrows as high as you can, open your eyes as wide as possible and frown at the same time.

 

• Pucker your lips out as far as possible into the shape of an “O.” Then change your expression into a wide smile. Repeat several times.

 

• Sit in a comfortable chair and look up at the ceiling. Pucker your lips and stick your tongue out as far as possible to exercise your neck muscles.

 

Hi Joe, thank you so much. The setting gorgeous. I never want to take it off my finger! You were so great with communication and shipping was so quick that it made it to us before I left for my trip! Working with you has been an ideal experience.

Thank you again,
K

A touching and painful story about the lengths that people will go to hold on to a beloved piece of jewelry in the most dire of circumstances.

According to NPR:

From the outside, it looked like any of the other mugs in the Auschwitz museum.

But on the inside, this one had a secret — faithfully kept for seven decades.

A false bottom concealed a gold necklace and a gold ring inlaid with stones.

The enameled mug was one of more than 12,000 pieces of kitchenware that Nazis stole from people sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp in occupied Poland.”

Choker necklaces are a bold fashion statement  with a lengthy history.

Chokers appeared in 1798 as a French cultural jewel that was worn by wealthy ladies. in 1874 it was worn by ballerinas and in the early 1880s by queens.

Historically, chokers are associated with high fashion, but could take on different meanings under different circumstances. Ballerinas and the upper class in the late 19th century commonly wore certain types of chokers. However, at that same time, a plain, thin, red or black ribbon choker had ties to prostitution in the late 19th century, as seen in Manet’s Olympia (1861), while a plain black woven choker or ribbon could signify secret lesbianism in the Depression era.

But chokers are certainly not for everyone, especially if you don’t want to draw attention to your neck. Some can also border on the restrictive or uncomfortable, so if you’re the type who simply doesn’t like that sensation, then move on to different types of adornment.

For the ones who simply love chokers, here are a few mentioned in JCK’s latest article on the topic that our staff really liked.
