Wedding Jewelry: Animal Trends
Advertisements
Do you have a favorite animal? No, I don’t mean your pet but a special beast that incorporates all those passion and wishes or special powers – the strenght of a bear, the wisdom of an elephant or an owl, the beauty of a peacock or the feline movements of a tiger.
You can add those to your look by wearing a special jewelry made to be exactly that – a magical animal that will bring with him those special characteristics. You all remember that fabulous collection made by Cartier – well we can’t all afford that type of jewelries but you can all try these fabulous picks.

There is something special about custom made jewelry, they have that magic touch that a jeweler gives to his most loved pieces. And you have to admit that like everything related to art those commissioned pieces are the ones that a creator loves the most.
And that love will reach you once your special designed piece reaches you. Well just imagine how a special piece like that will feel once you wear it to your wedding day. Yes, that’s how dreams are created and those incredible jewelries with thousand of years stories are born.

We all have in our family a special custom made jewelry, especially from our grandmothers, that have a lovely story behind them. I think we should start to do the same – yes, we love consumerism and a thousand jewelries in our jewelry boxes but we should also focus on those custom made pieces that will make history.
For a special experience I suggest Leon’s Beverly Hills – they will create magic and bring you the best piece of jewelry you ever dreamed of. Don’t forget to send us a picture after your commissioned jewelry reaches you.

The magic of silver
Advertisements
Gold or silver? Answer as quick as possible, as this is one of the main questions one must ask herself when it come to her ring! I would always choose a silver ring as most of my jewelries are made of sterling silver but for some of you gold could be the perfect option.
I have a recent special passion for Gabriella’s Petite Wedding Ring Set – Sterling Silver that I’ve discovered while browsing the internet in search of a good ring set.
This is the perfect example of mixing classic jewelries with a hint of glamour and fashion, wearing such a wedding band and silver engagement ring will help you be fashionable and trendy ( and a bit married as well). What do you say? Isn’t it the perfect combination?

Ultimate guide for your Diamond Rings
Advertisements
First of all please keep in mind that buying a ring together is as exciting as purchasing it single and offering it, as long as you both know the ring your fiance might surprise you with the proposal. I started with this because too often we get carried away with that Hollywood idea of being surprised and forget that many times engagement rings are a disappointment if not chosen correctly.
As for Diamond Eternity Rings, when you purchase an engagement ring you must keep track of the color you love the most – are you a gold or silver person? Do you prefer big stones or no stone at all? Even if you might like a ring then you must remember that you will wear it for the rest of your life. So you have to opt for a ring that fits your daily job, your passions and most of all doesn’t stop you from your daily job – can you imagine Jennifer Aniston and that huge rock she has in the park with the little ones?
If you are thinking of a special design or your are planning on adding a certain extra to your Diamond Wedding Rings you should choose a jeweler that offers these type of bespoke services. This way you will have that ring that you both have dreamed a lifetime. Special notes inside the rings are always a good idea and they bound the couple with a magic vow.
Buying a diamond ring must be a team work and you must choose with care and love as it will be a piece that will be in your family for ever, it will pass from generation to generation and will gather stories of love and passion.

Wedding Jewelry: Statement Necklaces
Advertisements
When you decide upon your wedding accessories you have to think of the photo opportunities as well. I know it sounds strange but remember that you will see your wedding pictures for the rest of your life, son you need to have something different and something that will draw attention even after all those years that have passed.
That’s why I always tell my brides to take a statement necklace with them as well. You can wear it the whole night through and surprise everyone else or you can simply wear it for the photo opportunities, keep it on an hour or two and later passed it to one of your bridesmaids to store. Here are my choices for this week: 1.Ashley Pittman – Mpira Braided-Bead Necklace, Light Horn; 2.kate spade new york – bauble dot long necklace; 3. kate spade – kaleidoscope floral necklace; 4. kate spade – electric gardens necklace; 5. Jose & Maria Barrera – Jet Black Crystal Necklace; 6. kate spade – on the town crystal necklace; 7. Devon Leigh – Fuchsia Agate & Ruby Quartz Necklace; 8. Kenneth Jay Lane – Teardrop-Beaded Statement Necklace, 9. Devon Leigh – Chrysocolla Coin Necklace

Leon’s – Beverly Hills Celebrity Jewelry
Advertisements
For a wedding look fit for a celebrity you should opt for glamorous pieces that look great in photos (remember that your wedding pictures will be there forever) but also draw attention to you. So choose statement pieces that tell an interesting story, the perfect option is a ring with a very special design that you will wear on your right hand – as you don’t want to draw attention from your wedding band.
Why a ring? Well a statement necklace or an impressive pair of earrings might overwhelm your look in the neck area so you’ll make a better impression by wearing a statement ring. But you can always opt for a less dramatic look using a more natural make-up or a less elaborate hairdo and let your diamonds speak volumes.
