A hand engraved version of our Fleur de Lis solitaire

When going on a job interview, the focus should be on you and your amazing mind, not on your fashion choice or accessories. With that said, a few choice pieces of smart jewelry can enhance, show taste, and add a touch of professional bling guaranteed to send the right message to your lucky employer-to-be.

Acceptable Job Interview Jewelry

• Wedding ring or a small band.
• Small, thin necklace.
• Small, non-religious pendant made of metal, pearls or a muted color.
• Single bracelet or professional watch.
• Earrings (studs, small hoops, or dangle earrings that do not draw attention).

You do not want your jewelry to take attention away from your face. Any jewelry that is bright, gaudy, large or odd should be avoided.  (Source: Every Day Interview.)

We like our Classic Solitaire necklace for the job.

Most of us know firsthand the power of genuine self-esteem. It’s that sweet, intoxicating feeling that we radiate, regardless of what we wear and how we look on the outside. We often search for beauty elsewhere when we secretly know the real answer.

Here are three fast and free ways to feel pretty, not found in any department store:

1. Stand up straight and proud. Think of the prettiest woman in the world. Every hair in place, make-up perfect and the sexiest outfit imaginable. Now imagine her slouching, as if she had the weight of the world was on her. Not so beautiful anymore, right? While the days of standing straight in a military style are gone, gently pulling your shoulders back and keeping your head high are and enough to send that powerful and pretty message of self-pride.

2. Drink a cup of gratitude. Sure, you’ve heard it before. Write a gratitude list and all will magically fall into place. While that may or not be the case, being in a state of gratitude for all that you’ve been given softens the rough edges and makes you appear pretty to the world…simply because you’re mirror the prettiness that surrounds you every day.

3. Clean your thoughts. Most of us have thoughts whirring about in our head every moment of the waking day. We’ve forgotten how to be present. Or worse, our thoughts are laden with worry and anxiety, making us feel like there’s a constant grey cloud above our heads (how pretty is that?).

Take some moments to hit the reset button. Breathe deeply and be present, even if its for a few moment. This type of clarity and presence can be seen in our physical being. A clean and open mind radiates beauty that others can clearly see.

Not feeling particularly pretty? That’s okay too. Beauty ultimately comes from self-acceptance. So if you’re having one of those off days, allow yourself to be there. Tomorrow offers up all sorts of beautiful possibilities.

Beth,
I’m indebted to you forever!!! My ring came today and I love it! It’s all your fault! You took the time out of your busy day to advise me, a stranger. who knows little about jewelry on a selection that was a good one. Thank you so much for your expertise. I am one happy online shopper!

May God bless you today and everyday!!

You are special!

Note from Joe:  Judy did not purchase her ring from us. She presented a piece she found elsewhere and Beth advised her it was a good value.

Is it really gold?

Can you taste it?

Will it hurt your throat?

Goldschlager is a cinnamon schnapps that contains flecks of gold and the liquor in drinks like the Gingerbread Man, Liquid Cocaine and the Golden Delicious.

According to Gheek.com:

Is the gold in Goldschalger real?

 True dat. Goldschalger’s gold leaves are comprised of 24-karat gold, but don’t head to the pawnshop just yet. The actual amount of gold contained in a bottle is less than a tenth of a gram, equating to little more than two dollars.

Can drinking it hurt your throat?

Gold—known for its malleability and lack of sharp edges—probably won’t cut open your esophagus. But it sure does look pretty!
