Savvy Brides Know What’s Old is Definitely New Again when it Comes to Wedding Jewelry
(ContentDesk) August 3, 2006 -- Styles from other eras arent a new concept, but nowadays more brides are boldly mixing styles to create their own unique look.
Traditions are part of what adds meaning to wedding ceremonies, says Allyson Rainer, head designer at Razzle Dazzle, an on-line vintage-inspired bridal jewelry store, but more and more were seeing brides who arent afraid to mix traditional styles with their own individual style. Before a woman walks down the aisle, shes spent some amount of time dreaming of her big day.
Shes flipped through any number of bridal magazines, pursued family photo albums, and envied the glamour and glitz of celebrity weddings.
And now, a bride can pick elements from it all to create a style no one else will have.All these options allow a bride freedom to choose jewelry that suits her personality.
Savvy brides know Grandmas pearls look fabulous with a funky pair of chandelier earrings and that dreamy designer knock-off looks even better with a custom-made tiara of pearls, crystals and tiny bright-colored flowers, says Rainer.Jewelry trends
- like all fashion
- change constantly.
This year fashion is leaning toward styles
from the 80's so if a bride is really in love with that look shes definitely in luck.
But most women find beauty and style from each era.
Today a bride can create her own look by mixing vintage-inspired, handcrafted pieces from the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's.
The beautiful thing is that weddings are no longer just about fashion or tradition, Rainer says, but a true expression of the bride. Razzle Dazzle is located in Richmond, VA and specializes in
handcrafted, custom-made jewelry for your wedding.

Bewitching Jewelry -- Amulets, Talismans and Charms
Throughout the ages, men and women have used gemstones and crystals in personal ornaments and body decorations as bewitching jewelry. Wearing them as charms, talismans or amulets, they were believed to possess the power to ward off evil spirits (or attract benevolent ones), keep one safe from harm, or to find love. To this day, many people of all ages and from all walks of life believe in the magical power of certain gems and make bewitching jewelry part of their everyday attire.Take pearls, for instance. In the olden days, if a maiden wanted a man to fall in love with her, she would put pearls ground into a fine powder into a glass of wine and somehow get him to drink it. A pretty costly way to catch a man, that method.
Nowadays, wearing pearls is believed to enhance one's inner character and bring about peace and serenity. Gold is another example of bewitching jewelry. Since time immemorial, it has captured the fascination of all people, and is one of the cornerstones of the...

Wolf Jewelry: Dances With Vogue
When shopping for jewelry, one can see two extremes in any motif lineup: the delicate, feminine extreme, and the strong, masculine extreme. Among the "strong" extremes, wolf jewelry stands out as a common favorite -- it is, after all, the symbol of virility and independence, rebellion and complete self-possession. When one wears the most common types of masculine wolf jewelry, one is virtually saying, "I'm tough; don't mess with me."But nowadays, a greater diversity of designs exists for jewelry themes, even wolf jewelry. For example: the popular fantasy comic Elfquest's artist Wendy Pini has popularized the use of delicate wolf motifs, which are smoothly curving, streamlined and sensual without compromising the impregnable visage of the real-life wolf. Pini's wolf designs symbolize neither male nor female, but nature as a whole.Kevin Costner made a smash hit with his appearance in the romantic period dramatic film "Dances With Wolves." In that movie he celebrated the qualities that...
