  • Mana Bernades and Her Amazing “Trashy” Jewelry

    “Multimedia artist and designer Mana Bernardes finds pure poetry in the flotsam of our lives and consequently is able to incorporate seemingly unusable materials such as PET bottles, phone cards, toothpicks, hair clips, plastic netting, pearls, silver, and gold into Mana’s handcrafted collection. She has also joined forces with community education social projects at the Museum of Rio de Janeiro and the European Design Institute of Sao Paulo, where she works with teenagers and students teaching jewelry making and entrepreneurial design skills.”

  • Sharing the Rough [A Clip]

    A beautiful clip from an amazing documentary. Sharing the Rough gives a unique view of the process of a gem’s journey from mine to finished jewelry.

    The documentary follows the life of one gem (the type will remain secret until release) through the whole process–from the hands of the East African miners, to the gem cutter before finishing with the designer that brings it to life in fine jewelry–and looking at the relationships formed in between.

  • Types of Earrings from Hoops to Huggies

    Buying jewelry online requires as much knowledge as possible. No one likes to be surprised when receiving that special box in the mail!

    So this little handy chart found on eBay helps you understand your earring choices better.

    Teardrops

    True to their name, teardrop earrings are shaped like a teardrop or dewdrop. These earrings are generally made from solid gold, silver, or gemstones. They are designed to dangle below the earlobe. Teardrop-shaped earrings that feature extensive surface adornment are usually sold as dangle earrings.

    Dangles

    Dangle earrings are those pieces which dangle below the earlobe. They may be composed of beads, rounds, squares, curved pieces of metal, or die-cut metal designs. Dangle earrings are available in both wide and narrow styles. Pay close attention to the width of a dangle earring as different widths are suitable to different face types.

    Studs

    These classic earrings are composed of a single stone, ball, or small design that sits directly on the earlobe. They feature traditional earring posts. Pearl earrings that sit next to the ear may be described as stud earrings. These styles look good on every face type.

    Chandeliers

    Chandelier earrings combine the design elements of stud and drop earrings. These earrings feature a decorative stud that sits on the earlobe and a component that dangles below the earlobe. Many of these earrings widen below the earlobe and then taper back to a small point.

    Hoops

    These classic earrings are made from rounded or flat pieces of metal or plastic that run from the front to the back of the earlobe. They are available in a wide variety of circumferences and widths.

    Huggies

    Huggie earrings are very similar to hoop earrings but are usually much smaller. These earrings generally have a wide, small hoop that clamps onto the ear with a post or clip-on mechanism. They are made from both plastics and metals.

    Cluster

    Cluster earrings sit on the earlobe but feature clusters of gemstones, rhinestones, or other decorative elements that may extend beyond the bottom of the earlobe. These earrings are best suited to dressy events as they tend to be very flashy.
