Types of Olive Oil

Olives

The level of acidity is a key factor in choosing olive oil

By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone,

Nope, we are not talking about Popeye's girlfriend but a condiment some describe as liquid gold. Olive oil is highly-prized not only for its health benefits, but also for its wonderful flavor.

The best olive oil is a blend of oil from a mixture of red-ripe (not green and not fully ripe) olives and a smaller proportion of oil from green olives of a different variety. Cold-pressing, a chemical-free process using only pressure, produces a higher quality of olive oil which is naturally lower in acidity.

When purchasing olive oil, it is important to check labels for the percentage of acidity, grade of oil, volume, and country of origin. The level of acidity is a key factor in choosing fine olive oil, along with color, flavor, and aroma.

Taking Care of your Jewellery

Swarovski jewellery are easy to take care. Jewellery that made from glass and plastic materials are easy to clean and maintain. To keep the shine and glitter, use a piece of damp sponge to wipe off any dirt or grime that has accumulated overtime. But make sure the sponge is not dripping wet! Then allow the jewellery to dry naturally near a window or under a low heat hair dryer.

Although glass crystal beads are durable and pleasure to use in jewellery craft, they are also quite fragile. These beads do get broken or chipped if not handled properly. To keep the crystal jewellery intact, encase them in the jewellery boxes when you are not wearing them. Avoid getting your bead jewellery in contact with chemicals like perfume, hair spray, soap and etc.Therefore apply make-up, hairspray, perfume and other products FIRST, before putting on your jewelry.

As a general rule, jewelry should be the last thing you put on before you leave the house, and the first thing you take off when you get home. This cuts down on the wear and tear, and will help it last a lifetime.

Swarovski Family Member Launches New Brand

DALLAS (AP) ― Dec 29, 2008

As a member of the famed Austrian crystal family, Vanessa Swarovski Piedra grew up around beautiful sparkling objects. Now she's creating a few of her own.around beautiful sparkling objects. Now she's creating a few of her own.

Swarovski Piedra, the great-great-granddaughter of Swarovski Corp. founder Daniel Swarovski, launched a jewelry collection this fall featuring Swarovski crystals under her own brand, VSP. And plans for the brand extend beyond jewelry, including candles, crystal-studded pashminas and throws and crystal-adorned furniture.

It's an extension of her family's heritage, but also a fresh take on a storied tradition.

The Swarovski story goes back to 1892 when Daniel Swarovski, a glasscutter in what is now the Czech Republic, invented a machine that improved the process of crystal-cutting. The invention led to a bountiful business of both original designs and collaboration on jewelry, clothing and housewares with designers around the world.

Swarovski Piedra grew up near the Swarovski headquarters in Wattens, Austria, located just outside of Innsbruck, surrounded with that tradition everyday: Her father is currently chief executive officer of Swarovski.

At the age of 14 she spent a summer learning goldsmithing at the Design Institute of Rome.

"When you're around it so much, you just grow up looking for it," said Swarovski Piedra, 40.

After graduating from the University of Southern California, she went to the Gemological Institute of America to became a certified gemologist. She worked for a diamond company in New York and at Swarovski's gemstone division in Austria before moving to Vero Beach, Fla., in 1997 to open a jewelry store where she sold the works of several designers, including her own designs with gold and diamonds.

While in Vero Beach, she met professional baseball player Jorge Piedra. A couple of years after their February 2001 marriage, she closed down her store as his baseball career took them to several different cities.

About four years ago, the couple and their two daughters -- 6 and 2 -- settled in the Dallas area, and now she is ready to go out in her own direction.

The collection is playful and young: Shimmery bracelets featuring tiny crystals that can link together to create necklaces or belts; crystal pendants hanging from cords; even children's pieces.

Bob Maxwell, who has carried VSP jewelry since November in his Warwick, N.Y., boutique Style Counsel, said that the pendant -- which comes with or without a diamond -- makes a bold statement, but isn't overpowering.

"It can be dressy or they can wear it casually with jeans and a white shirt," he said.

Another line features crystals backed with faces from Old Master paintings. "It's such an untraditional use of the product. You're wearing art," said Colleen Brennan, creative director of VSP and a partner, who came up with the idea.Read More....

VSP, which debuted this fall at the Dallas Apparel and Accessories Market Show, is already being carried by several boutiques across the country and this spring will be available in Macy’s Herald Square location in New York City, Swarovski Piedra said in an interview with an AP writer.

The pieces range from about $60 to $600. Swarovski Piedra isn’t too worried about the effect of the ailing economy, saying that crystal jewelry allows people to get a quality item without the cost of more expensive fine jewelry.

Beautiful Bridal Bracelets

2009-01-07T20:29:00.000-08:00

By Laura Firenze

When choosing your suite of bridal jewelry, it is not only the necklace and earrings that are important. The ensemble is not truly complete until you have chosen a bracelet to wear. Bridal bracelets can be dainty or bold, subtle or striking; it all depends on your taste.

There are many styles of bridal bracelets available. You can select one that is an exact match to your wedding necklace or choose one that goes without matching for a more eclectic look. For example, if you have chosen a delicate crystal drop pendant, you can complete your crystal bridal jewelry with a chunky bracelet with large crystals all the way around. Sometimes brides who are not comfortable with strong jewelry by their face enjoy a bold wedding bracelet.

Multiple bracelets are also a great look. Choose two or three similar pieces to stack up on one wrist. It looks better to wear several bracelets on the same wrist than to wear one bracelet on each wrist. The weight of them will feel really good, and they make a pleasant jingling sound. Mix it up with crystals, pearls, and cz accents.

Your bridal bracelet is a great place to be playful with color. Let's say that your bridesmaids are wearing apple green dresses. The bride can tie into her color scheme by ordering a wedding bracelet that is handcrafted with peridot colored Swarovksi crystals combined with white pearls or clear crystals. A smaller version of the same style can be created for the bridesmaids. Custom bridal jewelry makes great bridesmaid gifts.

Bridal bracelets are usually worn on your right wrist to let your engagement ring and wedding band be the star of the show on your left hand. An exception would be if you have a strong tanline from your watch on your left arm - wear the bracelet on that side to help cover it up. (It should go without saying that a bride does not wear a watch.) Bracelets are also a beautiful way to cover up a wrist tattoo, should you (or your mother!) so desire. If a bride is wearing gloves during the ceremony, she should wait to put on her bracelet until the gloves are removed during the reception. Wearing a bracelet over gloves will make you look like the Queen Mum.

One of the wonderful things about a bracelet is how easy they are to wear again after the wedding. There may be days when a full set of crystal bridal jewelry would feel like too much, but a sparkling bracelet would be just right. A pretty bracelet is a great way to add pizazz to a simple outfit, be it a suit for work or jeans and a dressy top for a night out with your husband.

A bridal bracelet is a terrific way to complete your bridal jewelry set. Whether you are wearing crystal bridal jewelry, pearls, or simple sterling silver pieces, you are not fully dressed until you slip on a bracelet. Choose one or two that you really love, since you will enjoy wearing them for years to come.
Laura is interested in wedding planning and wedding trends including jewelry, receptions and gifts. Crystal bridal jewelry bracelets are a fabulous finishing touch to your wedding attire.

Reasons To Use Swarovski Bridal Jewelry

2008-10-06T00:29:00.000-07:00

Most couples set a budget while planning their special day. Soon enough, the bride realizes that what she wants is a far cry from what she can actually afford. When planning a wedding, compromising comes with the territory—this is true for marriage as well. Some compromises may be easy to make, while others are more difficult.

If you had your heart set on diamond bridal jewelry, but cannot afford it, have no fear—you will not have to make any compromises in this department. Swarovski bridal jewelry is the perfect alternative to diamonds and it is not only elegant and beautiful, but it is also significantly more affordable than bridal jewelry made of precious metals and stones.

There are many reasons why you should buy Swarovski bridal jewelry as opposed to other types of wedding jewelry. First of all, Swarovski bridal jewelry is stunning. These brilliantly cut crystals will please any brides' taste and budget. There are a plethora of other forms of wedding jewelry on the market that are made of lesser quality. While they are even more affordable, than Swarovski crystals they lack superiority and are not nearly as elegant.

Swarovski bridal jewelry shows up well in bridal portraits. Many other types of jewelry and stones do not have the reflective value that Swarovski crystals have and they do not shimmer as well. Another reason to buy Swarovski bridal jewelry is because there are many styles available. No matter what kind of wedding dress you have or the type of wedding you are planning you can find the perfect Swarovski bridal jewelry to complement your wedding dress and your big day.

Remember, you can also buy jewelry made of Swarovski crystals for your mother, the mother of the groom, as well as your bridesmaids as thank you gifts for participating in your wedding. Since Swarovski crystal is more affordable than precious stones you will certainly be able to afford some gorgeous gifts for the women in your wedding.

When you want to look your best, you must have Swarovski bridal jewelry to complete your look. Any bride will love the way that Swarovski bridal jewelry complements her wedding dress and makes her the beautiful bride she has always dreamed of. Go ahead and forget about diamonds being a girl's best friend and think of how beautiful Swarovski crystals will make you look and feel on your wedding day.

Crystal has fascinated men and women from the time we discovered its beauty, radiance and brilliance. It has always lent a touch of elegance and brightness to our jewellery. Crystal can be worn embedded inside jewellery of of gold, silver, platinum or any other material. Or it can also be worn as a pendant hanging from a necklace or a neck chain, a bracelet, an anklet or an armlet. No matter where we wear it, crystal brightens up our look and appearance and makes us look ravishing.

To enhance the beauty of our body parts, a great way to go about it is by defining them with crystal. For instance, petite and soft wrists can look all the more elegant and appealing with small crystal pendants hanging from a well crafted bracelet. And similarly, if you are wearing skirts, shorts or short trousers, and your tender ankles are visible, then you can make one of them look more graceful and bewitching, you can take the help of a shapely crystal.

The crystal is known for its shine and reflection. So when you wear crystal jewellery, even a small ray of light can make your crystal coruscate and that will brighten up your limbs. A crystal pendant can also spell magic and make you look quite admirable. You get crystal in different colours, so you can match your jewellery with your outfit and look quite lovely and fine.

Not just jewellery, crystal can also make various kinds of accessories look gorgeous. Belts, bags and purses can be made beautiful in an instant with crystal and stones. Many women like crystal embedded foot wear and they look quite fashionable in high profile parties and social gatherings. Crystal can make your life quite interesting and beautiful too. And the best thing is – you can wear them in any way you want to.

Swarovski – The True Synonym for Crystal

2008-08-21T01:10:00.000-07:00

Introduction

Daniel Swarovski established the first crystal cutting factory that uses hydro-electricity for the process of grinding the mineral which contains about 36% lead i.e. a special metallic chemical coatings that gives the surface a rainbow-like appearance but also makes crystal jewellery look slick.

By: Paul Shane

Invariably one of the most popular brand names in jewellery, Swarovski was founded by Daniel Swarovski in the year 1895. However, the idea was first perceived in 1892 when he invented an automatic cutting machine for crystals.

He established the first crystal cutting factory in Wattens and used hydro-electricity for the process of grinding of the mineral. This site is now home to an indoor theme park that is based on the theme of crystal.

Headquartered in Zurich, the company is today regarded as the leading manufacturer of precision-cut lead crystal glass products. All its products are embossed with its logo – a swan. This logo was changed from the original one of an edelweiss flower in the year 1988.

The crystal manufactured under this brand name contains about 36% lead – a technique that helps in maximising refraction. Their product range includes crystal sculptures, jewellery, couture, chandeliers and home decor items. Also available are beads and rhinestones that are usually be bought other jewellers and sold in their own designs.

To allow the refraction of light in a rainbow spectrum, Swarovski uses special metallic chemical coatings in some of its products. This coating not only gives the surface a rainbow-like appearance, but also makes it look slick.

The popularity of crystal jewellery has boosted the prospects of this brand over the years. With people showing tremendous interest in crystal, jewellers have done their best to cash in on this development. A number of online stores now offer this brand in their product range.

When you decide to buy Swarovski online, go for a trusted source. You will easily get a wide variety of products to choose from. Scan the web for some of the popular online jewellery stores and then surf through their sites to pick the best available designs. Finally, go for the item that is unique and easily fits into your budget.

Swarovski: Setting The Standard In Brilliance

2008-08-06T01:21:00.000-07:00

Available in jewelry, ornaments and figurines, the pieces make a brilliant addition to any collection. Boasting an extremely broad price range, the pieces are made to suit any budget. They also make a great gift that is sure to please anyone on any occasion.

The collection began in 1892, when Daniel Swarovski created a machine capable of cutting crystal with a precision unlike any other. Over the years, the name came to be applied to several things including grinding tools and optical instruments, such as telescopes and binoculars.

The crystal figurines are available in innumerable designs. The silver crystal collection consists mainly of animals and birds, as well as fable and Disney characters. For new or money-conscious collectors, the miniatures provide higher quality, yet inexpensive figures, including small-scale designs of flowers, insects, animals and so on.

The hassle-free designs available in jewellery made up of Swarovski crystals are great for such occasions. Not only do they set you in the mood to relax and enjoy life, but at the same time they make you look stunning by enhancing your beauty.

These were just the normal day-to-day life situations. Girls today prefer Swarovski crystals even in special occasions in their lives, like on their wedding day. Experimenting is the name of the game. Brides are experimenting with the colour of their wedding gown – they are going for colours like pastel shades, cream, peach, light blue and baby pink. Matching Swarovski crystal jewellery not only complements the dress and the look, but makes the bride look absolutely stunning.
