Tucson Gem Finds

Claire Guilfoyle — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:19:28 +0000

If you have seen my Facebook page, you know that I went to my FAVORITE trade show and gemstone immersion experience – The 56^th Annual Tucson Gem Fair. It is absolutely a trade show, but so much more. If you had been with me, we would have seen the town of Tucson taken over by jewelers, miners, rock hounds, fossil hunters, crystal collectors, buyers, sellers, tons of kettle korn and dust. Every hotel room was booked, the motel rooms were converted into showrooms and parking lots became sales floors. It is intense.

For example, a miner from Brazil may work all year to bring his entire yield of Citrine to this show, and then do it all over again next year if he is lucky. T

The rising price of gold might have you thinking twice about buying new baubles (unless, like a post-modern Midas, youre hoarding for the end of days, in which case give me a call), or considering selling the ones youve got (please, please, please go to a reputable jeweler), but theres something else that should be at the forefront of your mind: are you properly insured?

Are Rihanna and Chris Brown Back Together?

Ruby Salting — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:12:10 +0000

It’s all the buzz these days – Celebs Rihanna and Chris Brown tweeting back and forth. It all began when Chris accidentally tweeted a message to her publicly that read “[You] got that pic I sent you?” Of course, this sent Rihanna’s fans into an uproar. The post was deleted quickly, making it seem as though he meant to send it to her privately. The Barbados singer told her fans not to take their communication so seriously, but in a more tempered manner.

“Its f***in twitter, not the alter! Calm down.” She Tweeted.

Rihanna started following her ex-beau on Twitter last month, and he did the same. Brown has been trying to better his image since the big incident a few years ago. It hasn’t been looking too great for him, especially with all of the outbursts and spats he’s been having on television (Good Morning America) and online. The restraining order that Chris Brown had was lightened up to a level one order, which allows some contact between the two. She lifted it, so that they can attend similar events, and it looks like they have gladly accepted these new terms.

Rumors have been going around that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together. Sources reveal that the two have indeed been seeing each other, through a mutual friends. This is what they had to say:

“Ri-Ri’s always loved Chris—that never changed. They’ve texted and Skyped each other a lot recently and met up at a mutual friend’s house in Los Angeles after the restraining order expired.

“Chris has said he’ll be as patient as she needs him to be but after being slammed on Twitter for just following him, she’s begun to worry that they may never get to be together in public.”

New and Exciting in the New Year: Charming Resolutions

Claire Guilfoyle — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:30:58 +0000

What does a New Year mean to you? Is it saying “Goodbye,” or is it saying “Hello?

No matter how I look at it, it’s a time to reflect upon what’s been accomplished and what’s to come. No gloating. No regrets. Only gratitude for what has been, for being here now, and for moving on toward new and exciting things.

And then there’s what we call a “New Year’s resolution.” Now this is an interesting concept because annually, we circle around the idea of self-improvement and what we can do to become better people. I don’t know about you, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s my time, and that life is fleeting. The kinder and gentler I a

To Care For Silver Jewelry

Tayla Seppelt — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 06:26:40 +0000

With gold and platinum prices at all-time highs, lots of folks are buying sterling silver jewelry instead. Did you know that silver is the whitest metal, even whiter than platinum or rhodium? Thats why a flat, polished silver surface makes a perfect mirror. Some silver jewelry is plated with rhodium to prevent tarnish, so you should NOT polish this type of silver, because it will remove the plating! Though rhodium is a platinum-group metal, it is not quite as white as silver, so there are some advantages to leaving the silver au naturale, and we will talk about that in a minute. By the way, the Viridian Gold Jewelry Store will always tell you if one of our jewelry pieces is rhodium-plated, so that you will know how to care for it.

Tayla Seppelt — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:05:22 +0000

If youve got cool jewels, then you need someplace equally cool to store them. Finding great jewelry boxes in retail stores can sometimes be a challenge. A recent pictorial in InStyle magazines special Makeover 2011 issue has loads of storage ideas, from the simple and practical (acrylic organizers that can be had from the Container Store, Amazon, Bed, Bath Beyond, and ConsumerCrafts.com) to the eclectic and creative (earring trees from Anthropologie; stacks of white trays from Ikea; and a simple hangar on a hook, which can be had practically anywhere).
