Minerals and Crystals Part 1 of 2 Those of us who incorporate gemstones in our jewelry designs are well aware of the Moh’s scale of mineral hardness . It’s a relative scale which rates how scratch resistant one mineral is against another. It is but one of several ways to define hardness and classify minerals in material science – the modern ones are much more precise.This old scale was named after the German mineralogist, Friedrich Mohs who created it in 1812 but the idea of comparing relative hardness dates back to the ancient world.

So don’t be surprised if her favorite piece of jewelry is a family heirloom or a special gift from someone dear.

Sun kissed skin deserves gorgeous designer jewellery, and bare arms are just crying out for stunning bracelets. This summer it’s all about the bracelet , and stacking is the big news this season, so pile them on! The easiest way to do this is to do this is by choosing co-ordinating or matching bracelets by style or colour. So if you’re looking to create a vintage style selection of bracelets, perhaps choose something like this gorgeous Art Deco style marcasite bracelet in antique finished Sterling silver and mix it with some freshwater pearls . Our gorgeous ‘kissing’ pearl bracelet would look great, I would choose the soft pink shade as it will also work well with the nude trend that’s set to continue next season too. These exclusive Swarovski crystal bracelets are perfect for stacking. Wear several of them together in co-ordinating colours; try this lovely blue & green mix , bracelet with the turquoise blue and olive green versions. These are one of our best sellers and come in 10 colours, along with matching necklaces’ and earrings. Or mix them with plain silver bangles like the ‘ Triple L ‘ bangle, 3 bangles for the price of one! Another way to work the stacking trend is to choose different styles of bracelet in the same colour. Try mixing this ‘Grace’ vintage styled black onyx bracelet with our black onyx ‘Honor’ bracelet and the gorgeous ‘ Ava’ bracelet, also in black onyx. The black onyx in each of these bracelets is faceted so they shimmer when they catch the light, subtle but oh so sophisticated. They say two heads is better than one, and it’s the same for bracelets, so if you’re looking to make a statement, just double up! This works well for all bangles and bracelets no matter what colour or style
