6/25/2009 - Tiffany jewelry worn in the Bride Wars by Kate Hudson And Anne H
Tiffany jewelry worn in the Bride Wars by Kate Hudson And Anne H
I just spent the weekend to watch this movie Bride Wars by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Bride Wars is the story of two best friends, Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson), who turn rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day. Personally i think it is a great show. I Loved their fashion sense, especially the wedding dress by Vera Wang, with a full veil worn on the top of her head. Her bridal jewelry was simple and classic: a pair of pearl drop Tiffany Earrings. The character's pearl bridal jewelry was from Tiffany. I wish i would wear those during my wedding. The first thing i noticed in the show was Kate Hudson's engagement ring is a Tiffany Heart Novo by Tiffany & Co. This engagement ring's centerpiece is a diamond the size of a plump pea-more than five carats. This showpiece stone is shored up on each side by eight more diamond, which costs $388,000. The Premiere of Bride Wars was held at AMC Loews Lincoln Square in New York City on January 5th, 2009. As expected, the two girls were wearing Tiffany & co jewelry during this event. Anne Hathaway looked picture perfect in an all black Band of Outsiders ensemble consisting of split cuff skinny pants with double breasted blazer over a tank top. She accessorized with silver metallic Christian Louboutin platforms with jeweled top, Tiffany & Co. Atlas bar earrings and a chunky Tiffany Rings on her right hand middle finger, bringing focus to her red nail paint. Kate Hudson looked ravishing in a black and white fish scale patterned strapless Oscar de la Renta mermaid gown. She was accessorized with a Tiffany & Co. Mesh bangle . Her blond hair was loosely secured at the back with the bangs framing her face. Her smoky eye make up added to the mischievous look of her eyes. Click on the links to take at look at what they are wearing and maybe purchase it home if you like the fashion sense of Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. |

6/25/2009 - Tiffany and eBay Clash Over Sales of Fake Goods
Tiffany and eBay Clash Over Sales of Fake Goods
tiffany jewellry and eBay are in court over a major question for Internet commerce: At what point does the online auction house bear responsibility for fake goods sold on its site? EBay is a flea market, art gallery and advertising publisher, among other things. Last year, its 95 million users bought and sold 971 million items from luxury cars to trinkets. It says it defends against fraud through its "feedback" system, whereby buyers and sellers rate one another publicly. And it allows companies to shut down sellers they say are violating their intellectual property rights. Eight-thousand companies have participated under the program, said an eBay spokesman. On its own, eBay also removes auction listings that are in obvious violation of intellectual property laws, he said. Despite these efforts, online auction fraud is at the top of the list of thousands of complaints received annually by the Federal Trade Commission. Tiffany and Co. is complaining, but not to the FTC. The luxury goods manufacturer has sued eBay in the Southern District of New York in Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay Inc., accusing it of trademark infringement by facilitating and promoting the sale of tens of thousands of pieces of counterfeit Tiffany jewelry. The fakery has eroded the reputation of the 150-year-old Tiffany brand, the company says. The "overwhelming majority" of jewelry items sold and offered on eBay's Web site using the tiffany Rings name are counterfeit, the complaint says. Its research has found that 95 percent of the items are fakes. The issue comes down to whether eBay knew that the items offered for sale at its online auction house were forgeries and what it did to prevent fraudulent sales. The outcome of the case would have obvious major implications for eBay and the owners of well-known brands, if it is tried to a conclusion. An eBay spokesman said the parties "are in communication" but declined to elaborate. EBay's answer to the complaint is due this month. Tiffany's claims fall into two categories: direct and contributory trademark infringement. Direct infringement arises from advertising links that eBay purchased on the popular Internet search engines Google and Yahoo. When users search for "Tiffany" or "Tiffany's" with these search engines, eBay's links appears at the top of the pages. These links, tiffany Heart argues, lead to sellers that offer counterfeit goods on eBay's site. By advertising them, eBay is violating Tiffany's trademark, it argues. Contributory infringement is more tricky. "If someone is knowingly facilitating a counterfeiter, they can be sued as contributors," said Thomas Morrison, a trademark expert at Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler. Legally there seems to be no question that eBay must remove a known fake from its site. It regularly does so, acting on the word of the manufacturer of the goods in question. It also pursues recidivists, sometimes bringing court action. But it does not screen auctions for counterfeits, leaving that to manufacturers. Trademark law bans auctioneers, flea market organizers and others from knowingly facilitating the sale of counterfeits. But there is little case law that bears on the specific issue of who should monitor the goods sold on Internet auction sales to learn whether they are counterfeits: eBay or brand name manufacturers. Although Tiffany is apparently the only company to sue over the issue, it is not the only one that has had problems. The Callaway Golf Co., which makes high-end golf equipment, was plagued by counterfeit clubs sold on eBay. It worked with the auction company to bring criminal charges against a suspect. "We get excellent cooperation from eBay," said a Callaway spokesman. Trademark owners like Callaway that find or suspect a forger contact eBay, which then shuts down the suspect listing. Callaway also receives the seller's contact information if it wishes to file a lawsuit against the infringer. The process works almost perfectly, said the Callaway spokesman, with few sellers complaining they were wrongly shut down. Sometimes, it leads to a prosecution as was the case with a man found guilty for selling counterfeit Callaway golf clubs in upstate New York last September. On a typical day, Callaway receives reports from its investigators of three to six suspects operating on eBay. "We watch the Internet auction sites religiously," said the spokesman.

6/25/2009 - The 3 C's of Sterling Silver Earrings
The 3 C's of Sterling Silver Earrings
Earrings, which date back to ancient times, are known as ornaments for the ear. Although they are very rich in history, these popular jewelry items are very much a part of the modern day accessories that every woman loves to own. In this article, we will examine three essential C's of earrings: classic, comfortable and contemporary. Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings. Ok ladies, we all know what hoop earrings are. For many of us, they are our signature look. They're a staple in our jewelry wardrobe, easy to wear and, most importantly, they are classic. If you were to look up the term -classic in a dictionary, you would probably see that it is used to identify a work of art, something that has been determined to be of the highest quality over a period of time. When it comes to earrings, hoops have certainly maintained their status through the years. Whether you prefer large hoops, which are ideal for women with long hair, or smaller styles that give your ear just a touch of pizza, nothing keeps you in the ‾circle' of fashion better than a hoop earring. Sterling Silver Stud-Style Tiffany Earrings. These earrings are designed to be small and dainty, but still give the ear plenty to sparkle about. From cubic zirconia styles that are designed to imitate diamonds to ball studs and other designs, stud earrings are lightweight and comfortable. Because they are designed to sit on the earlobe, they do not dangle and you never have to worry about your hair getting entangled in their design or your lobes being pulled down as some heavier styles can often provoke. Most sterling silver stud tiffany jewellry feature a post with butterfly back for easy removal. Sterling Silver Chandelier Earrings. When you think of a chandelier, what's the first thought that comes to your mind? A beautiful crafted light fixed with extending branches of bulbs? Chandelier earrings are much the same in that their design features dangling portions that capture and reflect light in a way that few other earrings can do. This, alone, makes the chandelier earring a very contemporary style. These earrings vary in length and in form, but they all have one thing in common; chandeliers are designed to be noticed. Whether you are going out dancing in your favorite black dress or find yourself at the grocery store while running a few afternoon errands, you can easily incorporate the style of the chandelier earring into your wardrobe. From denim to dancing, your ears will be the focal point. Each of these styles are popular for a reason and, in their own way, they are very different from one another. Hoop rings are the classic style that you will turn to time and time again, while studs offer a comfortable way to add some sparkle to your face and chandelier earrings will be the contemporary design that you will look to whenever you need a more noticeable presence. Because these styles are so very popular, they are easily found in the world of jewelry. If you want to find each of these designs in one convenient location, you will find them at Almost Diamonds, a popular online cheap tiffany jewellry retailer offering sterling silver rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. From cubic zirconia (both clear & colored stones) to genuine gems, the designs are fresh and the quality is nothing short of spectacular. In fact, Almost Diamonds is one company that is what they sell: classic, comfortable on your wallet and very contemporary. |

6/25/2009 - Innovative Tiffany has grand plans for its store in Ross Park Ma
Innovative Tiffany has grand plans for its store in Ross Park Ma
Tiffany & Co. "Bird on a Rock," showcasing the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond, one of the world's largest yellow diamonds, is on permanent view on the main floor of Tiffany's New York store. NEW YORK-The name Tiffany hasn't always conjured images of dazzling diamond Tiffany Rings and blue boxes the shade of a robin's egg. In 1837, when Charles Lewis Tiffany and business partner John Young opened the first store on Broadway in lower Manhattan, Tiffany & Co. specialized in stationery, silver flatware and fancy gifts-and generated headlines with non-negotiable prices. But the nature-inspired rings and Tiffany Necklaces that came later are what made Tiffany America's preeminent jeweler and one of the most respected luxury brands in the world. And as the luxury goods sector of the U.S. economy enjoys a sustained boom that runs counter to the current slowdown, new Tiffany stores continue to open at the rate of five to seven per year. The Pittsburgh store opening Oct. 10 at Ross Park Mall is the third of four domestic store launches this year, with Columbus, Ohio, becoming the last in November. It will be the first time Tiffany goods are available locally, other than through online orders. Company executives decided to open a Tiffany in Pittsburgh based on activity from local customers on its Web site. They don't expect the new store to underperform because of online buying. "Often, customers will browse online and find something they like and go into the store to buy it," said Tiffany spokeswoman Linda Buckley. "They complement each other very well." At the Ross Park Mall store, merchandise will be displayed atop counters rather than inside windowed cases. At 5,700 square feet, the store will be the size typical of those outside of New York City, but there won't be enough space to display all of Tiffany's products. Products will range from high end to low end, and anything not on display can be delivered to the store. Tiffany executives said all of the ingredients are in place for the Pittsburgh store to do well. "Pittsburgh is such a great American city with its own great history. It seems to be a perfect match," said Ms. Buckley, noting that pop artist icon and Pittsburgh native Andy Warhol designed Christmas cards and window art for Tiffany. Through the ages Tiffany's history reveals more than a tradition of fine jewelry. Tiffany designers in 1885 redesigned the Great Seal of the United States that is printed on every $1 bill and they created the invitations for the opening of the Statue of Liberty at Ellis Island in 1886. The following year, Tiffany introduced the six-prong setting, the first ring design to elevate the jewel above the band to better showcase its brilliance. Tiffany has been the source of elegant White House china for generations, with Lady Bird Johnson commissioning a service in 1968 that featured 90 flowers. When honorees receive the Medal of Honor, they become owners of a Tiffany design. Tiffany also created the NFL Super Bowl's Vince Lombardi Trophy, and the company makes the World Series trophy for Major League Baseball along with occasional awards for championships in golf, tennis, auto racing and other major sports. Tiffany has introduced four gemstones to the world, including tanzanite. The company also has exerted significant influence on domestic commerce, developing its own silver and platinum quality quotients that later were adopted as national industry standards. Many tiffany jewellry pieces are based on designs by master jewelry designer Jean Schlumberger, who opened his salon in the store in 1956. He designed for Tiffany until his death in 1987. Other baubles are the fruit of longtime collaborations with an exclusive handful of designers. Tiffany has partnered with Elsa Peretti for 34 years, Paloma Picasso for 28 years and architect Frank Gehry for the past two years.Tiffany also has collaborated with prestige watchmaker Patek Philippe for nearly 160 years. It's time for Tiffany to initiate another design collaboration, said Stan Herman, a fashion designer and past president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America."They're very consistent," he said. "But their consistency is far from boring. They've never peeked over the edge, but they've always reached for the stars. They've always done what they felt they could do well. If ever there was an iconic label, it's Tiffany." By LaMont Jones, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |

6/25/2009 - Tiffany in the Life
Tiffany in the Life
Tiffany & Co. issued a disappointing profit forecast Friday and reported lower U.S. same-store sales over the holidays, signaling that shaky consumer spending was taking a toll on the luxury sector. The Tiffany Rings retailer, whose shares tumbled 11%, said it was analyzing sales and earnings expectations for its fiscal year beginning next month, given lackluster demand at its U.S. stores and consumer wariness. "We believe a recent pullback in U.S. spending likely reflected a more cautious attitude among customers about the near-term direction of the economy and related factors," Chief Executive Michael J. Kowalski said in a statement. Best Buy Co., the largest U.S. consumer-electronics chain, and Restoration Hardware Inc. also said holiday sales growth slowed as rising energy costs and high debt led consumers to trim purchases. "Holiday sales of Tiffany Bracelets were much lower than expected and a total train wreck," said Howard Davidowitz, chairman of New York-based retail consulting firm Davidowitz & Associates Inc. U.S. retailers' holiday sales gained 2.2%, the slowest pace in five years, the International Council of Shopping Centers said Thursday. Consumers grappling with declining home values and $3-a-gallon gasoline have limited purchases. "The consumer has never had more debt; they have tremendous negative wealth effect from housing and huge inflation on energy and food. All of this has reflected itself in a retail debacle," Davidowitz said. "The consumer is completely underwater." Goldman Sachs analyst Adrianne Shapira wrote in a note to clients that tiffany jewellry shares probably would remain under pressure until the New York-based retailer issued an achievable earnings outlook for the new year. The stock fell $4.52 to $35.80 on Friday. Tiffany cut the top end of profit estimate for the fiscal year ending this month, indicating fourth-quarter results will be less than spectacular. It now expects earnings of $2.25 to $2.28 a share. In November it forecast $2.25 to $2.30 a share. The estimate excludes a gain from the sale of its Tokyo flagship store and charges for a contribution to the Tiffany & Co. Foundation and a recent deal with Swatch Group to make Tiffany-branded watches. Tiffany cut its full-year sales growth forecast to 14% from 15%. For the fourth quarter, it forecast a profit of $1.19 to $1.22 a share, excluding the Swatch charge, and sales growth of 8%. The company said it did not see any change in sales trends in January, which can make up 15% to 20% of quarterly revenue. |

6/21/2009 - Are Tiffany Co Bracelets or necklaces better?
Are Tiffany Co Bracelets or necklaces better?
I'm thinking of getting a tiffany keepsake for my birthday, something special. I would appreciate any comments about style, quality, durability, etc. I have a ton of Tiffany Jewellery, bracelets, Tiffany Co Necklaces, and Tiffany Earrings. You can't really go wrong with the quality-they are top of the line. However keep in mind, silver is kind of soft and after a lot of wear it can begin to show it. Don't get upset at scratches and dings even if you spend a lot of money. Nothing stays perfect forever. First of all, look at all the pieces. I have learned the hard way to buy the stuff that looks the plainest. Why? Because it can go with everything and you can wear it for years to come. No point in buying what is "cool" this season when you can spend your money wisely and buy something that is "timeless." Also things that have more bells and whistles tend to not last as long. I have one Tiffany Bracelets that was extremely cool, but after a certain piece kept falling off (the piece that kept the bracelet together) I had to exchange it for a completely different bracelet. They do stand behind their jewelry-thank goodness!!! They nicely explained to me somethings aren't meant to be worn on a day to day basis (which I wear my stuff daily to work and around the house). So when you go to buy something-ask yourself-will I wear this everyday, what type of wear and tear will it get, can this be worn to work-things like that? I would go and talk to them, tell them your budget, how it will be worn, and see what they have to recommend to you. Then go home and sleep on it. I didn't initially do this, but after the broken bracelet incident I now do that before investing in more tiffany jewellry. As someone mentioned, they will get tarnished if you don't clean them. That seems like a thing to me. When not in use, keep them in the pouches they provide you with and they should not get as tarnished as fast. Also buy a good silver cleaner (ask them to recommend you a brand) or take it back to the store where they will clean it for free. So I hope that helps, and I'm sure you will end up enjoying whatever you buy. Just take the time to buy something you will enjoy for a long time and not regret in the long run. |

6/21/2009 - Jewelry for Your Wedding
Jewelry for Your Wedding
On the most important day of your life, it's important that everything is just perfect, down to the last detail. Of course you'll want to look your absolute best for your special day. Bridal tiffany jewellry can do just that. It can help to compliment your dress and complete your look, while making you feel like a princess. Many brides go for a traditional pearl necklace, but there are actually a lot of other Tiffany Necklaces options from which to choose. Your bridal jewelry is your one chance to be extravagant and opulent, so why not take advantage and go all out? Cubic zirconia (CZ) set against sterling silver can really help you shine in person and in pictures. There are numerous options when it comes to choosing a setting for your Tiffany Pendants necklace. Choices include: teardrop (which is more narrow), peardrop, bezel set, brilliant cut or emerald cut. Alternatively, you can choose to go with a sparkling cluster effect, with a CZ bubble design. If you're not into massive amounts of sparkle, you can still get a beautiful effect with diamonds by the yard, which spaces the stones every few inches on a long chain. This type of necklace can be draped and worn in multiples, if needed. Once you've selected a necklace, there are still other baubles which may help to flatter and complete your ensemble. A delicate pair of chandelier earrings can help to pull everything together. Make sure that your bridesmaids are taken care of as well. It is your responsibility to provide the wedding party with guidance on what type of jewelry you prefer. To make it as easy as possible, offer to purchase necklaces for everyone as a part of their bridal party gift. This will ensure that you achieve a consistent and beautiful look on your big day. |

6/21/2009 - Why Men Should Consider Wearing a Wedding Ring
Why Men Should Consider Wearing a Wedding Ring
It has only been within the last two generations that most grooms have been exchanging wedding bands with their brides. Called "double ring ceremonies" this phenomenon slowly caught on after the Second World War and has been growing ever since. There were two reasons why a man wouldn't wear a wedding ring: cost and custom. The economic boom of the 1950s increased disposable income, which meant that people had extra cash available to buy treasured items including jewelry also up until that time, many men weren't that interested in jewelry, although a gold tie clip, watch, or money clip often made for an appropriate gift. As times have changed, so have customs. Jewelry designers, seizing upon the demand for gold, silver, and platinum, as well as precious stones, began to craft "his and her" wedding bands as customer tastes began to shift. By the 1970s, double-ring wedding ceremonies came into vogue and, today, the vast majority of American weddings have bride and groom exchanging Tiffany Rings while they exchange their vows. Still, some guys are resistant to change thinking that a wedding ring isn't manly enough or that they're just not comfortable with wearing jewelry. Designers understand the difference between men and women, and have crafted matching rings that look feminine on a woman's hand, yet masculine on the man's hand. In addition, jewelers make sure that when a guy tries on a ring that it fits right and looks good. After all, he'll be wearing a wedding band for the rest of his life - he might as well look and feel good wearing it! Brides are appreciative when the groom heartily agrees to wear a wedding ring. Women value symbolism, seeing wedding bands as an expression of mutual love, a visible commonality uniting husband and wife together. When selecting a wedding band, you'll be shown rings containing the following precious metals: gold, silver, or platinum. Usually, the metal selected matches the bride's engagement ring, therefore if you chose a white gold or yellow gold ring, then the same metal should be chosen for the wedding rings. If you already own a gold watch, then a yellow gold ring would match that perfectly. Many wedding bands contain stones, specifically diamonds. Not many men want to wear diamonds, while most women do. Therefore, when choosing Tiffany Necklaces and rings the style of the band can be the same, while allowing the bride to have hers embedded with diamonds. Most men's wedding bands are wider than the woman's too; therefore there is no mistaking which is the guy's ring and which is the gal's ring. The most difficult part of shopping for wedding rings is traveling from store to store in search of the right pair. Fortunately, the internet has revolutionized t tiffany jewellry buying by putting entire stores online. Go ahead and make that one visit to a favorite mall jeweler to look at rings up close and to try some on. Why purchase online? Well, it certainly beats several trips to the mall and traveling through traffic eating up time and gas. In addition, with a lower overhead and, in most cases, no sales tax to pay, you could save a big amount of money by shopping online. These days we're all looking to save and she won't mind as long as the wedding rings match her expectations. Once you've shopped from the comfort and convenience of your own computer, you'll be in a better frame of mind to choose a pair of wedding rings everyone will be happy with. Shopping online is fast and convenient, just the way us guys like to shop in the first place! |

6/21/2009 - Tiffany's Engagement Rings - What's In That Little Blue Box?
Tiffany's Engagement Rings - What's In That Little Blue Box?
When it comes to jewelry stores, no store comes close to the brand name reputation and brand image that Tiffany's and Co. has built. The company has made girls across the globe swoon over their Tiffany Bracelets,Tiffany Rings,Tiffany Pendants, Tiffany Earrings,and Tiffany Necklaces and dream of receiving the little blue box that it comes in.
The company has benefited from this "brand image" and is able to charge astronomical markups because of it. Many people walk into Tiffany's because they figure they are the best. Why settle for anything else, right?
I can't argue that Tiffany's has built a fantastic business. Looking at it strictly as a businessman I love what they have done.
But from a customers viewpoint I cringe at the thought of buying from them. When you shop at Tiffany's, you are buying a name.
The diamonds that Tiffany's carries can be found elsewhere for a fraction of the price. I'm talking 40% off.....even as high as 60-70% less if you know what to look for. It's insane how much money these guys ask for their jewelry.
And to make things worse, Tiffany's now grades all their diamonds in-house. When you buy a Tiffany's engagement ring, the grading report for the diamond is issued by Tiffany's themselves - not an independent lab or appraiser. This makes me very uncomfortable! Tiffany's claims they are as strict as AGS or GIA(the two grading labs with the strongest reputations), however this has been reported to not be the case when diamonds from Tiffany's have been sent to GIA or AGS for examination. Obviously, they know that the higher grades the diamond receives - the more they can charge.
The jewelry at Tiffany's is beautiful. I rarely see a Tiffany's engagement ring that I don't think is stunning. However, what is even more stunning is that they get away with charging the prices they do.
There is a ton of money in the diamond industry and Tiffany's is certainly making the most of it. If you are shopping for an engagement ring, or any diamond for that matter, make sure you take the time to do a little research.
I put together a guide (available at my website) to make it easy. It goes over plenty of ways to save cash and make sure you find her dream diamond. Hopefully it helps.
Tiffany's isn't going anywhere. People will continue to pay inflated prices for their tiffany jewellry and to be truthful, many will be happy with their purchase because they don't know any better. However, I suggest you don't fall into this category! You can find far better jewelry at a fraction of the price.

6/21/2009 - Buying a Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band Tiffany Ring
Buying a Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band Tiffany Ring
When you decide to marry, one of the most important decisions will be about your ring. Traditionally, gold, white gold, silver and platinum have been used in wedding bands. But today, the selection of metals is broader, reflecting the change in our tastes and lifestyle. Tungsten carbide is one of the new metals from which tiffany jewelry designers have begun to craft wedding band rings, offering a wide variety of styles and designs that fit every taste and budget. What is Tungsten Carbide? On its own, tungsten is a very hard and dense metal, with the highest melting point of all metals - 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit. Alone, tungsten is vulnerable to scratches and damage just like any other metal, it gains its extreme hardness by being combined with a carbon alloy, transforming it into tungsten carbide, with a hardness between 8.5 and 9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. The strength of tungsten carbide has made it widely used for decades in industrial applications - it is four times harder than titanium, twice as hard as steel and almost impossible to scratch. The resulting metal can be designed into wedding band rings that are both visually stunning to please the eye and durable enough to withstand everyday use. These rings can only be damaged through extreme measures, such as abrasion from diamonds or being struck with a hammer. Choosing Your Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band Tiffany RingsMake sure you ask your Tiffany jeweler which metal was used in the finishing or binding process. Many manufacturers of tungsten carbide wedding band rings use cobalt as a binder, mostly because it is cheaper to produce. The problem with cobalt is that it bonds with oils in the skin and leeches out of the ring resulting in oxidation. The oxidation appears similar to tarnished sliver, but cannot be removed by polishing or grinding. The better choice is nickel-binder tungsten carbide which is chemically inert, will not oxidize and because it is hypoallergenic, there is no danger of irritation to the skin. Be careful about dealing with a jeweler that doesn't specify that their tungsten wedding bands are made with the nickel binder alloy. Many tiffany jewelry stores do not know which alloy they are selling, and if they don't know, it is most likely cobalt alloy or pure tungsten, which lacks the hardness of tungsten carbide and are easily scratched. Because of tungsten carbide's extreme hardness, wedding bands made from this metal cannot be sized like gold, silver or platinum rings. When you are ready to purchase, make sure that you take extra care in determining the proper size. In regards to engraving a tungsten carbide ring, it is possible, but the results will be very faint and difficult to read. Finally, since your tungsten carbide wedding band ring is not indestructible, it makes sense to get a warranty, especially against breakage. Under normal usage there should be little or no wear on both the polish and the textures of your tungsten carbide wedding band ring and you will never need to use your warranty. |

6/16/2009 - 10 Unique Gifts for Mom for Mother's Day
10 Unique Gifts for Mom for Mother's Day
10 Unique Gifts for Mom for Mother's Day Every other day of the year Mom's in charge of holidays: she decorates the house, buys the gifts, and plans the parties. But the second Sunday in May is her day to sit back and let the celebration come to her. Don't let the party end after breakfast in bed. Chances are one of these unique gifts will be just perfect for your favorite mom especially if you've been looking for a very special and unusual gift for her. Deeds to the USA --what's your mom's secret wish? To live in a beachfront Hawaiian condo, a B&B in Vermont, or a loft in San Francisco? Give her a tiny piece of her dream with a legal Deed to a one square inch parcel of land in the state that you know she loves. Deeds are available for all 50 states in the US, one state at a time, or all 50 states on one Deed. They're individually numbered and Mom's name will be inscribed on it. What could be a more unusual gift than land? US Postage - Photo Stamps--Even bill-paying can be fun when you have familiar smiling faces looking back at you from personalized postage stamps of Tiffany Bracelets. But chances are she'll use them on notes to her friends about the cutest grandkids in the world. No grandkids? Don't fret! Upload a photo of Fido, the family cat or even a picture of dear old Dad. Wine Gift Baskets -- This is my favorite way to buy wine. Why? I'm not sure what which wines are better than others and quite frankly, I'm not sure my mother would know either. And when I told my hair stylist, he jumped up and down with joy, saying that he'd get wine baskets for his mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. That's a lot of wine! Cheers. Canvas on Demand--she framed your entire school picture declaring you looked wonderful (even though it was the bad hair day of the century). Make up for all those goofy Tiffany Rings photos with a custom canvas made from a digital or scanned photo image. And it can be ready in a week! Even the most average photo looks great on canvas from these master craftsmen at "Canvas on Demand". Gift of the Month--Want a chance to remind mom every month that she's the greatest? Maybe even the "sweetest" With summer approaching what mom could resist the Ice Cream Club? Or the Chocolate Club? Or maybe when you look at your mom you think: candles, flowers, tea, or will it be wine? Better than gift baskets. Enroll mom for three, six, nine or twelve months of surprises delivered directly to her at home or work. She'll thank you and thinks of you every time she receives your special gift well past Mother's Day. Wish Upon a Star -- What makes your Mom a star? Is it her delectable apple pie, a voice that should win American Idol, or just the fact that she was brave enough to teach you to drive? Make it official by naming a star for Mom and registering it with the Universal Star Catalogs Database. She'll receive a certificate and the stellar coordinates so, with the help of a telescope, she can gaze upon her very own star. Personalized T-Shirts for Mom and Grandmother - If you have a new or a to-be-grandma in the family help her announce it with a Forgotten Generations t-shirt. But moms come in all shapes and sizes and so do the t-shirts at Cafe Press. Personally, I think my mom would enjoy an "Empress" t-shirt. But maybe your mom is "Groovy Grandma", "Hot Mama", or "Super Mom". Tell the world what makes your mom unique with the perfect shirt, cap, or tote bag. What Happened on the Day Mom was Born -- When asked (and sometimes even before she's asked) Mom is happy to remember the day you were born right down to the car she drove to the hospital in and what song was playing on the radio. But what was happening the day Mom was born? Get a fun glimpse into her life with an original issue of a major newspaper from her birthday. Give Mom Tiffany's Stock -- One Share, anyway. Maybe mom's always harbored a secret wish for one of those little blue boxes that scream to the world "Tiffany's". Or you could just buy her Tiffany's. OK, only one share of Tiffany's stock but technically she's still an owner with her own framed stock certificate and voting rights. With One Share your Mom can own a little piece of Sak's, Krispy Kremes, Martha Stewart, or hundreds of other fun companies. And don't forget that Tiffany Pendants may be good gifts. Yoga Gift Set--My mother is very cool. She knows all the current songs and rock groups, knows all the current jargon as well as knowing all the current trends, all the time. She's just getting into Yoga so this "Yoga to the Rescue" booklet will show her how to relax using 48 poses (with illustrations, thank God). It also includes some ways to cheat and do easier versions (double thank God). I've got the yoga magnet with illustrations slapped up on my filing cabinet. They got me through a few frantic phone calls involving a boss with deadline issues. So I'm certain my mother will be able to use this when, well at those times when she's not so cool. |

6/16/2009 - Tiffany Knock Offs Increasing Popularity-Even in Hollywood
Tiffany Knock Offs Increasing Popularity-Even in Hollywood
The widespread acceptance of Tiffany knock offs has now reached Hollywood where stars abound. Don't be surprised if that famous star you see strolling down the red carpet is in reality donning a replica and not some fancy high priced designer piece. As we all know stars going to big public gatherings are more often adorned in brilliant tiffany jewellry, what everyone does not know is that not all of them are donning the authentic jewelries. Why stars have the need to wear amazing novelties on events like the Golden Globe or the Emmy? Well, everything points back to 1943, during the Oscars, Harry Winston lent some very beautiful, very expensive diamond studded jewelries to actress Jennifer Jones and she ended up winning the Best Actress award that night. So from then on, it became a tradition in hoping to replicate history that big stars now wear brilliant bangle including Tiffany knock offs to these events. People still ask why would these female stars still need to wear Tiffany knock offs instead of having some expensive designer Tiffany Bracelets. As the tradition of re-enacting the historical lending of diamonds in the 1943 Oscars, well-known jewelry designers from all over the world lend their fabulous designs to some of the most famous faces. However, there are only limited designers and too many emerging stars, those unable to borrow design pieces will still need to go in style and Tiffany knock offs became the most favored option. Although all of these stars have the capacity to buy luxurious jewelries, they probably have lots of them locked up in some safe deposit boxes. It's just that its a fact that it takes a lot to go in style, trends appear and disappear swiftly, specially in jewelry fashion that it's just not practical even for high income people like movie stars to keep buying high priced jewelry they can't wear everyday. Now it became widely acceptable for these elite people to even wear jewelry replicas like a Tiffany Rings knock off. With all the available jewelries available today why have stars chosen Tiffany knock offs? The answer is rather simple, they are well crafted, elegant looking, made of high grade, 925 sterling silver, they are as impressive as the real thing and the designs are always up to date. The best part is that its price is but a mere fraction of the cost of designer jewelries that even plain Jane can afford to wear Tiffany knock offs. Tiffany knock offs are so affordable even individuals like you and me can appear elegant. It is not like those cheap plated jewelries that don't last, Tiffany knock offs which are made of .925 sterling silver are intended to last a lifetime. |

6/16/2009 - A Surprising Visit to Tiffany's
A Surprising Visit to Tiffany's
We at Here Comes The Guide recently returned from our big annual meeting, where we regroup and make plans for the next year. We were privileged to stay at the gorgeous Woods Hole at Pebble Beach. What a place to think creatively, and we did.
But, you can't work constantly, right? So, my friends Jennifer, Julia and I took some time out to visit downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and do some window shopping. As we all know, Carmel is a sweet, charming, and very tony place to shop. And it doesn't get any tonier than Tiffany's.
Frankly, I was just a bit intimidated to casually walk into the famous jewelry store e.g tiffany jewellry, because I wasn't in the market for any bling, and I wasn't dressed to the nines. I thought the salespeople might treat us coolly if we were really just there to browse.
I could not have been more wrong! From the moment we entered the store, every salesperson was as friendly and warm as can be. Instead of vibing us when we confessed that none of us were looking to buy, they opened their cases and suggested we "play jewelry" (their words). What fun! After spending several minutes with us, they cheerfully wished us goodbye, having made us feel welcome to come back anytime.
Even though I didn't buy anything that day, I did fall in love with some aquamarine earrings I tried on while "playing jewelry." I plan to drag my husband back to buy those Tiffany Earrings or just to say "hi" to the delightful staff at Tiffany's Carmel.
My strong advice: If you're in the market for your engagement ring, wedding rings or any of your wedding jewelry, stop by a Tiffany's store. You might be surprised that "it's okay to look." 'Course, I can't promise you won't also buy something Tiffany Heart. Bring your significant other, just in case.

6/16/2009 - What is replica Tiffany Jewelry
What is replica Tiffany Jewelry
Sometimes a particular style or name brand can generate so much interest that designers make a special effort to duplicate the appearance of jewelry items at a lower cost. The goal, of course, is to put quality jewelry items in the possession of those who could not afford the original, often unique article. This is certainly true with the world-class Tiffany name. tiffany jewelry is so recognizable for quality and workmanship that thousands of people want to wear something from the famous source. Often, the thoughts along this line are nothing more than dreams because of the cost of acquiring an original Tiffany item. It is much more realistic for most members of the working class to add nice jewelry pieces to their collection by purchasing replicas cheap tiffany jewelry. This gives them the look of the original without the high price. It is a fact of life that jewelry from a renowned designer or store becomes so popular that it sets a trend. In addition, some designer jewelry items become classics and desired collectibles because of the art and materials involved. In this situation, jewelry makers around the world attempt to copy the design, using similar materials, then sell their work as replicas. These sources of replica designer jewelry have become so popular, in fact, that items are often mass produced to meet demand. Even those jewelry items that are not factory-made can be produced in larger numbers by skilled craftsmen working every day. The result is often an item of jewelry that becomes almost as desirable as the original, because of the talent of these lesser-known artisans. For many years, the Tiffany name has inspired makers of replica jewelry to copy design and form. The result has been the creation of a profitable business with a large clientele among those who want the Tiffany look. Many lesser-known designers and craftsmen have been able to replicate the luxurious style of Tiffany, using materials other than the quality diamonds and metals in the original. It all comes down to affordable Tiffany style without the Tiffany price. More people are now able to buy tiffany jewelry item that is a Tiffany replica, and those who see it will not know the difference. These replicas can surprise even the more knowledgeable among jewelry enthusiasts in the way the items mimic an original. Jewelry made from inexpensive materials such as "paste" gems and quartz often look surprisingly authentic, though the materials are certainly not diamond and platinum. Of course, buyers should be careful not to purchase an item that is marketed as a Tiffany original, only to discover that it is an imitation. This will be an expensive mistake. Some unscrupulous traders on the world jewelry scene don't hesitate to take advantage of the population's desire for Tiffany style. Keep in mind that authentic Tiffany & Co. items have the company engraving/signature mark. If this is not present, the item is not an original Tiffany piece. Some of the things to look for when trying to distinguish original Tiffany items from imitations: several sizes of one item; fake platinum will appear much too bright; rough edges; and a suspicious looking forgery of the trademark. Compare the offered item with other original Tiffany pieces, even in photos, to help evaluate it. The Tiffany look is so popular that it will continue to be imitated for decades. |
