NOVEMBER - CHILLY BUT SUNNY

NOVEMBER - CHILLY BUT SUNNY

Before the 20th century, all gems in the brown, orange, and yellow colour range were called topaz. Modern gemology was only recognized as a science in the 1930s.

NOT A WAITRESS

NOT A WAITRESS

Ever have that feeling when you're wearing black and white ( I frequently do ), that whilst it's timeless and classic, it's also occasionally, boring? Spice up that look with a bold necklace in a punchy colour. Put on that red lip, keep everything else neutral and you're out the door.

MARCH - ALLURING AQUAMARINE

MARCH - ALLURING AQUAMARINE

Nearly all Aquamarines on the market have been heat treated to enhance the colour. In meeting with the consumer preference for aquamarines in deep blue, the stones are heated near 800 degrees Fahrenheit, which causes the blue colour to emerge and the yellow/green tones to disappear.

A LITTLE BIT OF CANDY........

A LITTLE BIT OF CANDY........

There are a few jewellery blogs that I follow, because in addition to what I do here with Lustre, I must confess, I love ALL jewellery. Fine, fun, vintage, semi precious, ALL of it. And the funny thing is, the older I get, the less I covet it to actually own. Looking at it is almost as much pleasure most of the time.
