Gold jewellery can be a great piece to have to really pop and stand out from the crowd. Not only does it reads elegance, it also provides women with a sheer beauty that cannot be compared to any other type of metal found on this Earth. For many women, selecting jewelry pieces that are unique but are also easy to wear with many outfits, can be difficult.
Celebrity mom and fashionista Kelly Ripa is a style icon who's known for her ability to take basic wardrobe staples like a little black dress or some simple gold jewelry and make them look effortlessly stylish. Kelly is a big fan of chic gold jewelry and her look is easy for anyone to recreate. For example, Kelly loves the iconic Tiffany Beads as a daytime gold necklace look. This 16 inch, 18k gold necklace is versatile and stylish, and can be purchased online for $2500.
You don't have to spend big bucks to get the look, though, because Ralph Lauren sells a similar braided chain necklace for just $48. Another classic gold piece that Kelly Ripa loves is the Marrakesh ring. It was designed by Paloma Picasso, and inspired by the intriguing geometric patterns of Morocco. You can buy the real thing at Tiffany's for $1300, or purchase a close replica at ShopBop for $84.
Jewelry..a Great Gift to Give, Even for No Special Reason!

My boyfriend had me find a beautiful little box on my coffee table recently…and I so enjoyed the absolute surprise of it! He said it was a gift "just for being me"! I was touched, and very happy not only for the gesture but because it was in fact a beautiful piece of jewelry. Fashion jewelry at goldsea24 is something he had recently seen me browse, so I guess that's where he got the idea of what to get me. The experience of receiving this gift, out of the blue, made me think how much I'd like to do that for my loved ones. I've decided I'm going to make someone's day every once in a while by having them find a little something from me…just for being them. It might be jewelry for some, or a book for others, or a great plant for those who could keep it alive! I think I'm also going to accompany the gift with a note, expressing what I appreciate about them as a person. Appreciation is, indeed, something we could remember more often, isn't it? Including ourselves. I think it's good to do something good for ourselves, too, like a nice bath, a good walk…and have the intention of appreciation yourself, your life and the world.
Indian Jewelry Exports Rise

India has always been known as one of the cheapest options for companies and businesses to produce goods. With the growing number of goods produced, it is not wonder that the Indian jewelry industry continues to grow. Not many people know that the Indian jewelry found in high end stores across the world have been imported from India. The high quality items with a low cost to produce makes India an ideal market.
Indian jewelry exports grew dramatically during 2010, rising almost 47%. This sector is very important to the Indian economy, contributing 16% to the country's total exports. The growth was primarily driven by exports of polished diamonds, which rose 54%. Exports of gold jewelry and gemstone jewelry also rose. Dubai emerged as the largest export destination for Indian jewelry exports, accounting for 47% of the total exports, followed by Hong Kong with 22% and the US with 11%. This growth rate in exports is the highest it's been in the past three years. This signals a strong bounce-back by India's single largest gem and jewelry export market. While Dubai is a single city in a small country, it has become a major trading hub, and acts as a staging center for exports to Russia, Ukraine and a range of other markets that have high tariff barriers.
