Snowflake Jewelry Shopping Tips
If walking in a winter wonderland adds a sparkle to your eye, or the remembrance of a special day on the slopes brings a smile to your face, or maybe the first snowflakes of the season make someone feel like a kid again, the perfect gift idea is right in front of you- Snowflake jewelry. Snowflake earrings, pins and pendants come in a wide variety of styles. There is surely one that’s just the right piece for you, and more importantly, for your special someone.
What is it about a snowflake that makes it such a perfect jewelry accent? Is it the thinly detailed lines and spokes that make the gold sparkle just like a snowflake? Is it the tiny diamonds that glisten just like the new fallen snow? Is it the fact that each snowflake is different from any other, each as unique as the recipient to your gift? Maybe it’s a little of this and a little of that, or a combination of all of the above.
First things first: you need to set yourself a reasonable budget that you can stay within. Don’t even tempt yourself by peaking at potentials with a higher price point than you can afford. The recipient of your gift will be thrilled with such an innovative twist on a timeless classic and will understand if you can’t afford the most expensive piece of jewelry in the store. Stunning, unique pieces are available in just about every price, from under $40 to over $4,000. And remember that there’s no rule about 2 months salary to buy snowflake jewelry!
Secondly, you should decide what sort of snowflake jewelry you wish to invest in. Pendants are very popular, especially those with genuine diamond accents. You may want to add a tiny splash of color, perhaps with blue, green, or champagne colored diamonds to contrast with the white. Yellow gold and white gold are the precious metals of choice for the majority of such pendants, maybe with a few extra details of diamond cut lines to add even more sparkle to an already radiant pendant.
And don’t forget about earrings! Dangles and studs are always popular, especially when they’re in the shapes of snowflakes, include diamonds, and come from someone special. The same basic types of styles are available in earring form as are in pendants; they’re just a bit smaller. Ultra-thin white gold or yellow gold bars crisscross, intersect and stem from their neighbors to create a luminous dangle to hang elegantly from a pierced ear.
Of course, if you’re unsure that any of these are the ideal token, rings and pins also make a fabulous gift for the right recipient; you just need to know the best place to buy them.

Help answer the question about jewelry shopping tips
any jewelry-buying tips?i have some money saved n i wanna get myself sth that has real diamonds, i went shopping today n i really liked a necklace with cute colored leaf-shaped hanging from it, i loved it as it looked really elegant, the problem was that when i tried it on it was just below my neck (kinda short on me), i'm tall and have broad shoulders, and quite a large busted, should this be taken into consideration when buying a necklace (and the piece that hangs from it – dunno what's it's called!)? or does an elegant necklace look good on everyone? if not, any advice for me? also, what do u think will look like cheap jewelry? childish styles maybe?

I also have broad shoulders and am big busted, so i know what it feels like! Try buying a big charm, on that is interesting. The piece will draw attention to the necklace rather than your shoulders. Also, try going for a color that will draw out your eyes, and match it with a cute outfit or dress! i promise it will work for you

You need to buy things that are comfortable to wear and that you feel amazing in! American Eagle mixed with Charlotte Russe would be perfect for your style! It's preppy with some edge. You could also try Lucky or Fossil. It would add some other style to your clothing. But don't try too hard to be anyone you aren't! High school is a tough place, and all you can do is be truth to who you are and what you believe in!!

Is this an old Zippo? If so, it is just getting broken in
You can use jewelry polish or silver polish to make it look like new again. Other than that, just fill er up and she's ready to go! I do think I have better luck with Zippo brand fuel than then generic equivalents but that might just be my imagination.
And, by the way, older Zippo lighters are collectible so you might want to check the value of what you have before you use it or do anything that might reduce that value.

For shoes try darker shades of red–like burgundy–for a change. If it's a professional job where you'll need to carry a briefcase or portfolio, find one that doubles as a purse–room for your cell phone, credit cards, license, etc. Some have change purses or checkbook covers you can get for an additional price. You might want to look in the T. Shipley or Levengers catalogs (they're on line also) for suggestions. Most of them aren't that expensive. You can get one a burgundy shade or a more traditional tan/brown or black.
Try bright (but not neon) colors for tops/blouses underneath the suits. Yellow and emerald green are good colors for gray. Yellow–if it's a subtle shade–goes well with navy. If you intend to keep the jacket buttoned, try camis with a little subtle lace at the neckline. Otherwise, blouses or tops that will drape nicely are good choices–you don't want something tight that will cling to your abdomen if that's a problem area for you if the jacket is undone.
Ruffles seem to be in this year. I noticed quite a bit in Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus. If you want one, try it on with the suit to make sure you don't look like a Tudor queen. It may make a full face even rounder looking. Personally I don't like ruffles at the wrist–they make you look like you're ready to go fencing. Plus they catch on things on the desk.
Pearls are always a nice choice–but make sure they're good quality so they don't "peel". Avoid pearls with diamonds since that's mostly an evening piece. Gold is in this year. Clunky seems to be on the way out.
Look for tops that go well with either the navy or gray outfits. Changing jewelry or adding a scarf or other accessory can make the blouse, etc. seem like a new piece of wardrobe.
Have fun shopping. Oh, and don't hesitate to ask for help–not necessarily a sales associate, but maybe a woman who is also shopping the same time as you who has a style that you like. If you're lucky enough to have a friend like this, invite her along.

I say visit and talk with other small business owners. Ask if they will share there ups and downs and what they did to make ends meet in the meantime.
Yes, I do believe the economy is making it harder for artisans. Folk can barely afford food and gas, let alone a deemed "unneccessary" item like jewelry and clothing and such. No offense to your craft, I am a starving crafter too.
