So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Buying A Custom Designed Jewelry

By Lora Jones


Jewels are precious possessions worn either on the neck, arms or fingers. Traditionally, they were usually worn by those with wealth and power. The trend is different today as jewels are can be used by anyone for beauty. They are created from a variety of materials and also in varying designs. Custom designed jewelry are normally those pieces that have been cut, mound and joined together according to the specifications of a client.

Known to boost ego and self-esteem, most customized jewels are unique and designed to individual specifications. Also referred to as designer jewels, they come in unique and original designs. In certain circumstances the materials used define the kind of jewelry to be created in the end. Some designs also depended on the intended purpose of the jewel being created.

Preparations for designing starts with a creation draft of the required image or design. A consideration for the materials to be used should be taken into account at this point. This is because materials have different properties in terms of their weight and durability. The cost of these materials also varies accordingly. These properties necessitate different handling and preparation tools as well as methods.

Jewelry can be created by use of various materials. The choice is highly determined by the cost of the materials and the ease in searching for them. Precious stones and gems including gold, diamond and bronze among others are the most expensive. Bones, skins, husks, and teeth from animals can also be used and are relatively cheaper. All these materials require proper preparation before they can be used. Others include dry seeds and plastics.

Custom designing is used to create a number of jewels for various uses and purposes. For example wedding and engagement rings are designed depending with the specifications of the parties involved. This may include the engraving of their names or the dates of their memorable occasions. Customization can also be done on gifts, ornaments and badges.

Simple jewel creations can also be done at home by using locally available materials. One can therefore make beaded necklaces and rings easily. It will only involve a simple weaving process and some joinery techniques. However, to undertake this process, the necessary requirements must be in place.

There are various professional craftsmen who are available for creation of various designs. They operate shops from where they create the designs by use of special machines and equipments. Other craftsmen operate online shops from which orders can be placed for designing. They also provide information on the type of orders they can handle from these websites. Finished orders are then packaged and shipped to the respective clients. They can also be found locally from their shops or by sourcing their contacts from local directories.

Custom designed jewelry normally has varying prices depending with the design itself as well as the material to be used. Those made out of precious metals are more expensive as compared to those made from locally available materials. This is because of the technicalities involved in designing and crafting of the jewel.
