  • The Most Expensive Red Carpet Jewelry Ever

    Okay so maybe there are no red carpet events in our future (though I do have a red wine stain on my carpet. Close enough?). That doesn’t mean we can’t live vicariously through stars lucky enough to don the most expensive jewelry at the top awards ceremonies. Be prepared to “oooh” with a little “ahhh” on the side.

  • How to Change the Critical Voice Inside and Radiate Beauty Naturally

    When we have an issue with our body image, we tend to focus on physical ways in which to improve it, like joining a gym or cosmetic surgery or buying new clothes and jewelry. But in reality, an inside out approach is a much more sound way to increase your inner worth which eventually spills outward.

    So the next time you’re feeling that your appearance is somehow not quite enough, try these quick and easy tips:

    List your top 3 personality traits. This is often easier to do than listing our favorite physical attributes. Maybe you think you’re naturally funny or genuinely kind. Write out these traits in as much detail as possible with a few examples to prove your own point.

    Practice inner peace. When we’re feeling that we’re not quite enough, its because we’re often subject to a thousand voices in our head, critiquing and judging. By taking 5 or 10 minutes out of the day to simply mediate or pray, we calm those inner voices and radiate a different type of beauty–one that can’t be bought.

    Embrace imperfections. Think of the people in your life whom you love. Undoubtedly you’re not very hard on their imperfections. Often its those little “flaws” that make them so endearing. When you begin to realize the natural, raw beauty of imperfections, you go easier on yourself and that ease translates into prettiness from the inside.

    The time has come to stop reaching for a level of perfection that simply can’t be attained. It’s an endless race that leaves us exhausted and never feeling quite enough. So practice these internal suggestions and give yourself a beauty break!

     

  • Jewelry that’s Just Right for an Interview

    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.

    22 Carat Engagement Ring

    “This 22 carat fancy yellow radiant cut was a special piece Raymond Lee brought in for the Palm Beach Jewelry show, and everyone around the office (and at the show) couldn’t stop trying it on and admiring it! The large white diamond trillian side stones are softer than I usually see, with bulging shoulders. It’s not often you see side stones that require 4 prongs, but this ring demands it!” – Raymond Lee Jewelry Blog

  • The Apple Watch – the Next Big Thing?

    Today’s a big day in the tech world. The Apple watch will be previewed Monday at a press event in San Francisco. Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to lead the presentation, followed by other Apple execs and developers who will explain apps they’ve created for the watch.

    So will it take off? Doesn’t your smartphone do the job of an Apple watch even easier? Only time will tell (get it? Time? Watch?)

    Here is Apple’s video on their specialty watch:
