Sarah Perlis Jewelry diamond ring Among some of the really lovely jewelers who make ethical jewelry is Sarah Perlis Jewelry.  The website can be found here http://shop.sarahperlis.com/ She works with brilliant diamonds, as seen here, and with diamonds in the rough as well as with other stones.  Her pieces use simple lines an da mingling of vintage looks and modern flair.  I love the clean lines and natural look of the jewelry on her site.  This is a great, ethical option.  As with all jewelers who make an effort to be ethical, Sarah Perlis jewelry explains where the stones and materials come from.  Transparency is key and she does a decent job showing where the raw sources come from.  Definitely worth checking out! I think a definite great website if you want to by ethical, eco-friendly jewelry but also want classic-looking or trendy engagement and wedding rings is brilliantearth.com.  They have a collection of engagement ring settings to choose from ranging from ultra-trendy to ultra-modern to classic and vintage styles.  They also have a choose your diamond feature and, from my looking around, most of the eco-friendly, ethical diamonds they sell are of Canadian origin.  I have to admit I’m not sure what their policy toward gold is but overall this is a great site.  They also have a fabulous collection of sapphire engagement rings and wedding bands. GreenKarat.com is another excellent source for eco-friendly and ethical wedding jewelry.  They definitely have a smaller selection than brilliantearth; however, they also seem somewhat more devoted to the cause of eco-friendliness.  Perhaps, however, that is simply me falling for their advertising ploys.  I can only describe their jewelry as looking eco-friendly.  The first time I perused the engagement and wedding rings available on this site I was unimpressed by them (despite being impressed by the guiding principles of the company).  However, having revisited this company and the jewelry they offer, I’m more impressed this time around.  As an aside (from the perspective of a reader, english major, future teacher and overal bibliophile–they have some beautiful rings titled after F

When we meet at a little Japanese tea house in Vancouver, I recognize Canadian artist, sculptor, designer and Yogini Sonja Picard by her striking auburn hair.  It’s an apt complement to her infectious smile and vivacity, yet belies the layer of serenity that lies just beneath.  Having enjoyed an active career as an artist and sculptor, Sonja began a study of yogic philosophy in 1996, and was inspired to create and design pieces of jewelry as an homage to this knowledge.  In 2000, she launched her eponymous jewelry line, the Sonja Picard Collection (SPC) that now has over 350 pieces crafted in silver, gold, gemstones and Canadian diamonds and celebrates the yogic and tantric traditions of adornment. Today, Sonja puts her sculptural background to use as she first hand-carves each original piece in wax, adding a unique, sculptural organic and tactile quality to her jewelry.  As Sonja launches the newest addition to her work, the SPC Bridal Collection , Yogue chats with her about Yoga, creativity, the eco aspects of her design process and of course bridal inspired yogic jewelry.   Also, read on to get a special offer on SPC jewelry just for Yogue Readers. Sonja Picard, Yogini, Artist and Jewelry Designer Yogue: Tell us a little bit about this new collection.  Your vision for it… SP.  The bridal line was created by several insights: First – there were not any bridal collections within the market that had any ‘divine’ meaning or inscriptions, mantra’s on or inside the ring, unless you commissioned an artist/ jewelry designer to specifically make you a ring.  A wedding/commitment ring is such a sacred step between two people, along with the rings being a symbol and meaning of their commitment to one another.

By Bethany   Spring is officially here, and it’s time to lockdown your overall look for your summer wedding!  So you have the dress and the shoes, but what jewelry are you wearing and how will you decorate your hair?  First decide if you want to simplify your look or make a statement.  This depends on your gown, your personal style, and the setting of your wedding.  If the gown is heavily embellished, you might want to keep the accessories to a minimum.  When you have simple dress you could keep the overall look simplistic or let the accessories stand out.

Last week I went to a holiday party and spoke with Lauren F. from Miami.  I have known Lauren for many years and she has always rocked the latest fashion and trends.  That night, I was wearing the jet black cuff .  Lauren and her mom were so into it. Lauren was telling me that she loves cuffs and that’s all that she wears.  The great thing about making jewelry I am able to customize it to the buyer’s style- the colors and the event play into that.

Cuff It Up

By Bethany M&J Bridal Salon Headpiece It is important that a bride stands out at her wedding and that everyone knows that she is, in fact, the bride.  Statement accessories are special pieces that stand out from the brides overall look.  The key to wearing a statement piece is to make sure the rest of the accessories do not compete with it.  Also, a statement piece should be placed strategically to draw attention to your best features or create a visual illusion.  For example wearing a wide, chunky headband can draw the eye upwards and make you appear taller.  A bold necklace can highlight a beautiful collar bone, just like dramatic earrings bring attention to the face.  Whichever type of statement accessory you decide on, make sure to keep the rest of you jewelry to a minimum.

Kids and young people are consistently keen to imitate the appearance and look of their hero, particularly from the world of music industry. With hip hop & rap musicians helping to glorify the bling appearance of jewelry, many youngster and young people are keen to imitate this appearance and look. Of course it isn’t that cheap to be able to imitate the style of a pop star, when a pop star can have the means for latest or bling jewelry sell for many thousands of dollars.

Today’s inquiry is from a friend of mine, Rachel, who’s trying to make decisions on her bridal jewelry and would like some suggestions.  Her hair will be up and her dress is this strapless Pronovias beauty: I am of the opinion that jewelry can often take over a look; too much of it, especially if your dress is already embellished with beading, looks like you fell in a bucket of crystals.  I mean, you’re getting married, not going to your coronation, unless you’re Grace Kelly, and I suspect you’re not.  If you’re going with a very strong piece, whether it’s a hair piece, necklace, or earrings, it’s best to choose just one and find either very subtle accents or forgo others entirely. Hitting all the traditional pieces is overrated
