A lot of time and effort goes into choosing the perfect prom jewelry sets . From head to toe, you primp and prod, making sure that everything from your manicure to your hair is just right. Your prom jewelry is critical to completing the outfit and pulling your look together. Ideally, your jewelry will be like the icing on the cake, adding to the glam factor of your dress.

The best starting point when choosing your jewelry is to think about two things: your dress and your hair. These two things will dictate the type and style of jewelry that you wear.

The dress With a myriad of style options from which to choose, finding the perfect dress can sometimes be daunting. Once youve got it, accessorizing is the fun part. If you choose a simple black or monochrome dress, then you have the freedom to be bold with your accessories. Large chunky crystal necklaces, bold printed bangles or large beads give a great focal point to an otherwise average look. Up the style quotient with a multi-strand long beaded pearl necklace. Add a matching statement cocktail ring for added glam.

If your dress is covered in sequins, or beads, keep jewelry simple and sparkly, such as a pair of delicate drop earrings. For lace dresses, vintage or art deco pieces look fabulous and chic. Try a pair of stunning chandelier earrings or a jeweled choker to complete your look. Be careful not to wear jewelry that may snag or catch on threads from your dress.

The hair Sometimes, your hair style may be a deciding factor in what type of prom jewelry you wear. If you’re wearing your hair up and you have a strapless or one-shoulder dress, draw attention to your collarbone with a pair of great earrings or a short necklace. If youre going for au natural hair, earrings may get lost, so think about pulling hair to one side, or wearing a half up-do that will showcase your great gems.

A woman that exudes confidence and authority; that is First Lady Michelle Obama, clearly she matched his husband Pres. Barrack Obama’s equally influential persona. Since his husband assumed in his position as a president last January 2009, Michelle Obama had been a favorite subject of paparazzi, often photographed just to scrutinize the first lady’s fashion sense and her much talked about charms jewelry. I find it quite absurd, but then on the other hand, knowing her role as the wife of one the most powerful man in the world, then indeed it is inevitable. Go First Lady, show your dignified style.

Noticing the First Lady’s pictures, she is always photographed with personalized necklaces, her necklace with a HOPE dog tag pendant in particular. There had been rumors that it’s her necklace charm that made Obama the first African-American president in the history of America. But I doubt it, Obama won because he was elected by people, charm and magic has nothing to do with it. Mrs. Obama had been supportive during his husband entire campaign rallies from state to state.

Though, she was not born on the month June the public just cannot ignored the First Lady’s penchant for pearls. During her speech at Emily’s List gala during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado her 36 inches pearl necklace that can be wrapped a couple times marked as one of her fashion statement.

Her dedication as a mother was known to public with the credits coming from paparazzi. One notable candid picture about the first family is when the president playfully raised his younger daughter, Sasha into the air with his both hands while Michelle and Malia were pictured laughing heartily while the family is about to board a private plane in Pueblo Memorial Airport. Despite the couple’s tight schedule they continue to attempt to schedule family time and date nights.

Pearl’s versatility make it an indispensable accent to any mothers jewelry. From necklace, bracelets down to earrings, name it, you can find any jewelry made and accentuated of pearls. All mothers’ regardless of his social status deserves gift. This holiday season take time to find a special gift only jewelry can deliver.

Weddings are a grand affair in India. Not only do they celebrate the commitment of the bride and groom embarking on a life-long journey together, they also symbolize the coming together of two families. Indian weddings are steeped in tradition, rituals and customs, some religious, and some cultural. These traditions extend even to the attire of the bride, where each item of clothing or jewelry holds a special significance. It is easy to understand then, why any wedding would be incomplete without Indian bridal jewelry.

Jewelry plays an important role in enhancing the beauty of the blushing bride, more so when it holds a traditional and cultural significance as is the case with Indian bridal jewelry. For instance, the set of 21 ivory bangles, called ‘chooda’, worn by North Indian brides are gifted to them by their maternal uncle. Worn anywhere between a period of 6 months to a year after her marriage, they serve as a reminder to the family that she has married into, that she is a new bride and must be treated as a princess. ‘Klira’, or the long adornments that hang from the ‘chooda’ of a bride, are also gifted to her by her maternal uncle. They perform much the same function as the ‘chooda’ and make physical work an impossible task, preventing the new bride from doing any household work during the festivities. Although now seen as a fashion statement, a ‘nath’ or nose ring symbolizes the purity and innocence of the bride.

Anklets or ‘payals’ are more cultural adornments and hold little religious significance. With every step taken by the bride, the anklets chime, announcing her arrival and ensuring that all eyes are on her on her big day. ‘Bichua’ or toe rings are worn on the second toe and symbolize the married status of a woman. While all these pieces of jewelry hold significance for a bride, perhaps the most significant of them all is the ‘mangalsutra’. Derived from the term ‘mangal’, meaning ‘auspicious’ and ‘sutra’, meaning ‘thread’ or ‘bond’, the mangalsutra is a chain of black beads with a gold medallion. Tied around the neck of the bride by the groom, the mangalsutra is believed to ward off evil forces and protect the sanctity of the institution of marriage, thus creating a bond between husband and wife. These also act as visible signs of a woman’s marital status.

Brides these days have a wide range of choices to choose from. The market for Indian bridal jewelry is ever expanding. Creatively designed, innovative pieces are making waves in the world of bridal jewelry. These provide the bride with pieces that are essentially traditional in nature with a contemporary twist. While traditionally, gold and diamonds are the preferred choice for Indian brides, the Indian bridal jewelry market today is open to experimentation, as are today’s brides. This has led to the inclusion of not only new designs in jewelry, but also new jewels themselves.

In India, it is believed that there are 16 adornments, or the ‘solah shringar’ that a woman must wear to become the complete bride. Jewelry plays an important role in the ‘solah shringar’. Add to this the religious and cultural significance attached to each ornament and it is clear that Indian bridal jewelry acts as pieces of collective history and tradition.
