<h3>
Choices In Men's Wedding Rings</h3>
When you’re looking to select a wedding ring for your fiancé, the most important consideration is that the ring is an extension of his personality and also something that he can wear throughout his life. Despite all the other wedding day preparations, selecting a wedding ring is the most personal one, bearing an item that will <br />
<a name='more'></a>be cherished by your husband for the rest of his life. The wedding ring that you buy for your husband will mark the beginning of a long, fruitful and loving relationship.<br />
<br />
Here are some things to take into consideration when you set out to buy the wedding ring. First is the material of the ring. There are a lot of options in terms of metals such as gold, silver, platinum, titanium, ceramic and tungsten. <a href="http://www.larsonjewelers.com/c-62-black-ceramic-rings.aspx" target="_blank">Ceramic rings</a> look glossy and their shine is retained over the years without fading. These rings are also scratch-resistant, hypoallergenic and lightweight. However, the one big disadvantage with these rings is that they are brittle and one hard strike can break them easily.<br />
<br />
Tungsten is hard and hence the ring will be extremely durable. These rings are made from an alloy of tungsten and carbon and they can be given a mirror finish. The rings are heavy and dark in color. One disadvantage of tungsten is that the ring cannot be resized. Titanium rings on the other hand are lightweight, durable and appear grey in color. Titanium looks attractive and is capable of retaining its original shine. Silver rings appear extremely elegant and are more affordable than their gold and platinum counterparts. Though they require polishing, rings made of 92.5 sterling silver are extremely durable.<br />
<br />
Platinum rings are quite in vogue now. The most rare of the popular precious metals, platinum has a natural shine that distinguishes it from silver. Platinum is a soft metal and prone to scratch. Therefore, it needs to be polished as silver does. When considering gold rings, the gold’s karat defines everything. Because pure gold is very soft, high karat gold is not suitable for everyday use whereas lower karat gold has alloys of harder metals and can be used on a regular basis. Gold is the conventional metal for wedding and will never become obsolete. In addition to yellow gold, people are buying white and rose gold also these days, which is prepared from alloys of gold typically containing nickel, manganese or palladium.<br />
<br />
It wouldn’t be right when discussing gold jewelry to not mention Black Hills Gold. Originally, Black Hills Gold came from the gold mines in Black Hills of South Dakota. During the late 1800’s gold was discovered in The Hills, which led to an onslaught of prospectors seeking to get rich by unearthing the dark mountains’ bullion. In modern days, the gold in Black Hills Gold jewelry can come from anywhere on the open market but a Federal statute requires anything labeled as Black Hills Gold Jewelry to be made in The Black Hills.<br />

<br />
Once you have decided on the metal, look for style. The traditional wedding bands for men are made of gold with beveled edges and subtle decorative features. If your man is contemporary in his approach to fashion, then you can choose from rings that have patterned inlays, textured finishes and sculpted edges. If his personality is bolder, then consider a ring with stones studded on them. Diamond, onyx and emerald are some of your choices that look awesome on men’s fingers. And don't neglect the fact that many styles are offered in matching mens and ladies <a href="http://blackhillsgoldjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/03/black-hills-gold-wedding-sets.html" target="_blank">wedding sets</a>. Consider all your options and choose wisely.<br />

<h2>
Jewelry, as we all know, has an elaborate history.</h2>
Jewelry has been known to man since times immemorial and has represented different aspects of society at different times. <a href="http://blackhillsgoldjewelry.blogspot.com/2013/09/does-wearing-jewelry-give-you-better.html">Jewelry</a> through the ages has been associated with power, prestige, and<br />
<a name='more'></a> religion and of course with style and fashion. In older times, jewelry was the status of those with wealth and riches. Later it came to be associated with fashion and style, where people wore a piece of jewelry to adorn themselves and enhance beauty. Today people wear a variety of jewelry made of various metals, sometimes as a style statement and sometimes to express their ideas and thoughts, shaping their personality.<br />
<br />
Jewelry today has another association; that with awards and rewards. Since a piece of jewelry is a prized possession, everyone prefers owning a variety of pieces. If one can win it in the form of a reward or award then there is nothing like it. Receiving jewelry as an award adds glory, pride, prestige and honor to the act. That makes it even more special. There have been events in the past and also at present wherein jewelry has been given in the form of reward or award. In earlier days, kings impressed with a particular deed of someone would give away jewelry to them. Kings are known to have given away their jewelry items to their subordinates whenever they were elated at some news of great service. Jewelry was given to particularly gifted warriors as a mark of respect after winning a battle.<br />
<br />
Even now large corporations reward their hardworking employees with jewelry items. A watch happens to be a popular one when it came to rewarding efficient employees. A watch is a useful piece of jewelry that can be simple, or embellished. It has practical use and also looks pretty, or handsome adorning a wrist. In Canada the Federal workers have been rewarded with gold necklaces for their performances. In fact, it is known that the government has rewarded best performing employees with <a href="http://www.tiffany.com/" target="_blank">Tiffany</a> rings as well. Of course this is one of the most expensive rewards given to an employee when he or she is considered to be the best in his or her domain. So, if you are working somewhere and are not quite happy with your job, considering such rewards may help inspire yourself!<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMS9_kY61GDCWkSJAE_pArkM8gAlKHqlEgXNx-l5lOmsWaFIhEW13rEjlaf82KbDiBfN53a9Lk_qBB4XEA-0Jo50gnhr6PYVeGoB_4_MOVzsYTIZ7xtqrGM9Xi6-Msbk_J6RdU4lkEAkA/s1600/jewelry-box.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jewelry Box" border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMS9_kY61GDCWkSJAE_pArkM8gAlKHqlEgXNx-l5lOmsWaFIhEW13rEjlaf82KbDiBfN53a9Lk_qBB4XEA-0Jo50gnhr6PYVeGoB_4_MOVzsYTIZ7xtqrGM9Xi6-Msbk_J6RdU4lkEAkA/s200/jewelry-box.jpg" title="Jewelry Box" width="200" /></a></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">Choosing a jewelry box to safely store your jewelry can require a meticulous search.</span></h3>
After all, you will always want your precious possessions to be stored nicely and properly so that they can retain their shine and luster. Here are a few pointers that you must remember when buying a jewelry box.<br />
<h4>
SIZE</h4>
First, and most obvious is that you’ll into account is the size of the box. This not only depends on the amount of jewelry that<br />
<a name='more'></a>you own, but also on the space you have available in the place where it will be kept. A large jewelry box would be in the order of approximately 15 inches long by 10 inches wide, and will take up a considerable amount of space. Such large jewelry boxes can hold up to 30 different kinds of jewelry items. Large standing jewelry boxes are also available that can act as a dresser for lingerie and other delicate objects in addition to your jewelry. A medium jewelry box ranges anywhere between 7 inches to 11 inches in length and is ideal for holding around 20 pieces of jewelry. A smaller box is below 7 inches long, which can hold only a few pieces of jewelry. It is important that you choose a box that has room for future additions to your collection.<br />
<h4>
FUNCTION</h4>
But choosing the right jewelry box to maintain proper storage of your jewelry isn’t only a matter of size, you also require a clutter free arrangement. Hence, interior layout is the second important factor. At the end of the day you don’t want all your jewelries to be tangled up, so choosing a jewelry box which has separate segments for storing jewelry items is important. This will provide a clutter free arrangement and you can pick up any jewelry item from the box without any hassle.<br />
<h4>
QUALITY</h4>
But having a good jewelry box with several compartments is a great buy but it will not be of use if it does not last long. Thus, the material for the jewelry box is also significant. Most of the jewelry boxes that are available in the market are made from medium density fiberboard. The material is known to be denser than plywood and tougher than many other similar materials, being both heavier and very durable. One caveat however is that fiberboard will permanently swell when wet, an important thing to be careful of. These boxes are available with both paper lamination and wood veneers and are available in various finishes matching the color combination of your wardrobe, and generally in a reasonable price range.<br />
<h4>
SECURITY</h4>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRHZBzjmACJUuRHeX5dP1GZXDe69BIPHKi9WvXu5HaQwU9NlNbvuFh1KYByDaA1eEenGyTxyBT9PePWPVUxWYQSHLQUgwZtXMOqKd-eOfevpQBljybOFjaX0JqNzqR2LaTEtE5uBa3ZtaS/s1600/gift_kit_thmRL.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Luxury Jewelry Safe" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRHZBzjmACJUuRHeX5dP1GZXDe69BIPHKi9WvXu5HaQwU9NlNbvuFh1KYByDaA1eEenGyTxyBT9PePWPVUxWYQSHLQUgwZtXMOqKd-eOfevpQBljybOFjaX0JqNzqR2LaTEtE5uBa3ZtaS/s1600/gift_kit_thmRL.jpg" title="Luxury Jewelry Safe" /></a>A jewelry box fitted with a lock is of course somewhat more secure than an unlocked one, keeping out the fingers of little ones and perhaps unscrupulous visitors. But if thieves enter your home while it’s unattended, a locked jewelry box will do little to secure your valuables and it’s likely that they’ll leave with your jewelry box, locked or unlocked in hand. If your collection of jewelry is highly valuable, you may consider one of the <a href="http://www.brownsafe.com/categories/jewelry_safes/jewelry_safes.htm" target="_blank">luxury jewelry safes</a> on the market today. They combine high security function handcrafted jewelry boxes, creating a secure and orderly storage solution for your jewelry.<br />

A Special Moment In a Woman’s Life</h2>
On that most special day every woman wants everything to be the best, including her wedding jewelry. The wedding jewelry must compliment the entire outfit and the theme of the wedding. With the changing times and the factors influencing marriage, the taste for jewelry has also changed. Though the modern woman generally prefers in vogue jewelry, the traditional and classic pieces also find a place in their hearts, and in<br />
<a name='more'></a> their jewelry box, especially if they are heirlooms like many Black Hills Gold wedding rings tend to be.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Trendy or Traditional?</h3>
Today’s bride wants to strike a balance between traditional and modern designs. Hence, light weight jewelry is quite popular. The jewelers
today with their state of the art facilities focus on intricate designs on jewelry pieces to make them appear heavy without actually adding to the
items overall weight. This has helped the modern bride to look gorgeous on the wedding day and also have the jewelry maintain a contemporary flair for other occasions as well. Earlier, preference was laid on gold jewelry, but now brides and their families are ready to experiment with other metals, such as sterling silver, along with precious and semi precious stones studded in them. Today’s bride is more fashion conscious and wishes to look beautiful as well as trendy in terms of wedding accessories.<br />

<br />
<h3>
Let Your Personality Shine</h3>
In fact, many jewelers offer customers the ability to design their own bridal jewelry according to their taste and personality. Hence, women now have a freehand in not only choosing but also creating their own wedding ring. Simple yet stunning pieces of aesthetically designed jewelry are available in the market today to choose from. Lots of crystal and rhinestone jewelries are making their presence felt in the stores. Pearl, exuding elegance is a popular pick of the brides in the current times. Sometimes you can also come across dramatic neck-pieces designed with the combination of creative juices and vintage or retro designs.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Diamonds Are Still Forever </h3>
Wedding jewelry these days including the all important wedding ring are custom made these days to suit the individual’s taste and uniqueness. Hence, couples have swayed from similar looking or matching pair of wedding rings. Celtic motifs, abstract geometry and tribal patterns have become
the talk of the town in terms of wedding ring designs. However, there is one such item which has stood the test of time and maintained its appeal with dignity- diamond. The diamond as the focal point in rings, necklaces and earrings is still preferred by brides to be because they add an unmatched sparkle and allure to the entire wedding attire.<br />

<a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/files/1860609/uploaded/MWB9218-BLK-09249.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/files/1860609/uploaded/MWB9218-BLK-09249.jpg" width="185" /></a></div>

<h2>
Mens Landstroms Wrist Watch with Black Hills Gold Band - MWB9218-BLK-09249</h2>
<h3>
Simplicity and style defines this new watch from Landstroms.</h3>
<br />
Traditionally, Landstroms mens and ladies watches feature Speidel's Twist-O-Flex expansion bands integrated with Landstrom's own watch band ends to create the exclusive watch bands that come with their Black Hills Gold watches. These watch band<br />
<a name='more'></a>ends are first cast in solid 10 karat gold and Landstroms then articulates them with 12 karat Black Hills Gold leaves and grapes and attaches the band to a particular watch dial to create a finished Black Hills Gold watch style.<br />
<br />
Similarly, Landstrom's new MWB9218-BLK-09249 mens Black Hills Gold watch also features a Speidel Twist-O-Flex expansion band with ends made by Landstroms. What is different is that the watch band ends on this model are made from a <i>brass base metal</i>, instead of <i>10 karat gold</i>, which is then powder-coated with black enamel.<br />
<br />
After adding the traditional 12 karat leaves and grapes, and mounting a classic 09249 watch dial, two 12 karat gold leaves, quartz movement and a stainless steel back, the result is a striking Black Hills Gold watch at a fraction of the cost of the 10 karat gold models.<br />
<br />

<br />
With the cost of gold having risen significantly, we hope that this new watch will offer affordable options for men looking for a Black Hills Gold watch.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Fall leaf" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmPme08hiE4802buuIUpmFqsIUYf5YN4kaOnvAMM0Gci3d0N63uIuDbeKerxUiGpjLsdPSEIBcU0jHwPLpQFIcER7bnn0PGN7NFX-2HNZyiKX5Qhi1EPOdoPc3SnndGNZHo7VHgX-ukZXj/s200/fall-gold.jpg" title="Fall Gold" width="166" /></div>
It’s late October. Some of us feel a certain rush to still get a couple of things accomplished before winter breaks in. The yard needs to be cleaned up, a couple of paint jobs need to be done, the garden needs winterizing, the lawn cut one more time, the sprinklers blown out. <br />
<br />
But then some of us experience a most beautiful, warm, sunny Fall, and we want to get away, go on our last camping trip, get out of town. There is just so much to do. Well, it’s important to remember to slow down, take a<br />
<a name='more'></a>breather and actually enjoy the beautiful time. When the wind blows down my street and like to watch the colorful leaves fly through the air. Their time has definitely come. The colors are gorgeous! <br />
<br />
I guess the leaves are what makes me like Black Hills Gold jewelry since the pink and green leaves are used on pretty much every piece of Black Hills Gold. This one is one of my favorites, Landstroms Black Hills Gold Bracelet with Leaf Triplets - 07049:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While the <a href="http://www.americangemsociety.org/october-birthstones" target="_blank">American Gem Society</a> recognizes both the <a href="http://blackhillsgoldjewelry.blogspot.com/2009/10/opal-octobers-birthstone.html" target="_blank" title="October birthstone">Opal</a> and Pink Tourmaline as the official genuine birthstones of October, lab - created* Rose Zircon is a brilliant stone which offers a less expensive alternative.<br />
<br />
Being a fairly hard stone, Rose Zircon can be faceted and polished to
a brilliant luster, and has superb clarity with few inclusions, making it a perfect choice for birthstone jewelry.<br />

While winter is mostly a time for dormancy and rest, summer is all about having fun, getting outdoors and spending more waking hours living our lives. Whether we choose to enjoy summer hanging out on the beach catching a tan, picnicking with friends and family, or getting out and sipping cocktails in the evenings, we all long for this wonderful time of year for our own reasons. And when those cold winter<br />
<a name='more'></a>days return, we can still bring ourselves back to those wonderful feelings of summer with our amazing minds. Sights, sounds and smells of summer all come back as you close your eyes and imagine.<br />
<h4>
AWARENESS</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The more you notice during these beautiful summer days - the more you observe, from the smell of freshly mowed grass to the sounds of the birds chirping to the feeling of the warm breeze blowing the tufts in your sun skirt - the easier it will be this winter to conjure them up and bring them back. If you're a <i><a href="http://fashionista.com/" target="_blank">fashionista</a></i>, or just love to wear jewelry, a captivating hummingbird or <a href="http://blackhillsgoldjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/02/black-hills-gold-butterfly-jewelry.html" target="_blank">butterfly necklace</a> will certainly help bring those images of summer back when you slip it around your neck and feel it's golden summer's glow. But the time to etch those wonderful summer images into our minds is now, before the season of summer passes on to Fall!<br />

Whether you are going out with the girls for a sizzling summer night on the town, or just enjoying a relaxing afternoon with some friends, it is always good to have some new gold jewelry to show off. Earrings are perhaps the most popular choice along with ankle bracelets and necklaces, but another extremely popular choice is toe rings which are ideal to wear with flip flops and sandals. At BlackHillsGoldSource, we carry a delightful selection of jewelry for summer, from darling hummingbird necklaces to lovely butterfly earrings - even jewelry with dragonflies, dolphins, horses and more.

<h3>
Time to Give Back the Love</h3>
With father's day around the corner, it's about time for kids to give
back for the all the love and support their father has given to them.
It's one way of showing your appreciation to your dad for the
unconditional love he has given to you no matter how hard the
circumstances have been. Fathers are the ones who usually provide the financial
support and the backbone of the family. He's the one who takes charge of
everything and makes the final decision, and ultimately the one who will first put his life on the line for the rest of<br />
<a name='more'></a>the family. <a href="http://blackhillsgoldjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-not-black-hills-gold-jewelry-for.html" target="_blank">Father's Day</a> is <i>your</i> opportunity to show him how much you
love him;
it's <i>your</i> turn to give your unconditional love and show how proud you are to
have a father like him.<br />
<h3>
They don't show it, but Dad's love attention</h3>
Dads love it when their children give them presents. No matter how
simple or big it is, it is still something that your father will be
proud of. Considering your tight budget if you're a student, you still have a
lot of choices. Your dad will definitely appreciate anything that you give him
on Father's day whether it's a card with appreciative notes or any inexpensive
gift item. And if you are employed and have
the means to make a bit more expensive purchase, then why not try
searching for items from online shops. There are many things that you
can give to your dad, items that will certainly make him happy and
more proud of you.<br />
<h3>
What to get Dad for Fathers Day?</h3>
What to get for Father's day? Well, try to think of your father's
interests. Most Dads are into one sport or another... baseball is in full swing this time of year, so there's a timely opportunity. Most people enjoy music and with online music services such as <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/" target="_blank">Apple iTunes</a>, finding something for him by his favorite artist is a snap. If you're really at a loss, you can even find a variety of gift cards at grocery stores these days, such as Barnes & Noble, a slew of different restaurants - I've even seen Amazon gift cards at the local supermarket. Heck, you can get <i>anything</i> at Amazon :)<br />
<br />
However, if you really can't think of anything to give to him and don't want the somewhat impersonal feel of a gift card, perhaps an interesting jewelry item may be just what you're looking for. Your dad would surely
appreciate at Black Hills Gold <a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/mens-wrist-watches" target="_blank">wrist watch</a> or a ring. Father's may not be that picky when it comes to gifts but a special jewelry gift will
definitely make their eyes light up with happiness. It could be one of your
major purchases but it is definitely worth it. If this is something that may work for you, we are here to help. <a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/fathers-day-gifts" target="_blank" title="Landstroms Black Hills Gold">Visit www.blackhillsgoldsource.com</a> to see our full line of jewelry items for Dad.<br />
<br />
Obviously, Black Hills Gold isn't the only kind of jewelry out there. The most important thing is to get your father something memorable that he will
treasure. After all, he will always do the same for you.<br />

<h4 style="color: #8e7cc3;">
<i>What it is about Spring weddings
that gets everyone so super excited and hyped up?</i></h4>
June is an incredibly magical time, and it's like the Spring
engagement and marriage adrenaline is so high and contagious; the kind
whereby no number of status updates nor phone calls can easily erode.
Bottom line, June is just around the corner, the month of lucky brides as they say, "if you get married in June, you are a<br />
<a name='more'></a>bride all your
life!"<br />
<br />
If you are one of the lucky ladies who just got engaged, you deserve some hearty congratulations. But you're not lucky merely because
it's nearly June (though that is pretty huge too), but because getting
engaged in the Spring is one of the most enchanting things that can ever happen to
any woman. Consider all the Spring wedding expos popping up everywhere,
coupons, offers, discounts and variety of jewelry, all the personalized
gifts and favors among others. Moreover, there is no better time of the
year to select from new fashions in wedding attire, including fresh new jewelry designs.<br />
<h4 style="color: #8e7cc3;">
<i>There are a number of amazing things about the
beauty of engagement and marriage in the Spring.</i></h4>
First, even if you
haven't watched it yet, you may have heard of the film "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040499/" target="_blank">June Bride</a>", one of the most classic American comedies of all times which
involves couples that are totally destined for each other despite all
trials. This film was the first in a chain of numerous June wedding
movies including the hit musical "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047472/" target="_blank">Seven Brides for Seven Brothers</a>" which all seem to
ascertain the magic of June; a month named after "Juno", the Roman
Goddess of marriage.<br />
<br />
Secondly, you will be surprised to learn of all the
celebrities that have strategized just to have their weddings fall in the month of
June. Actually, the list of names is too long to fit here but they include Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Jennifer Garner and Ben
Affleck, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi and finally Melanie Brown
and Steven Belafonte.<br />
<h4 style="color: #8e7cc3;">
<i>Now that you've decided to be a June Bride, it's time to take care of some details.</i></h4>
Every woman has a dream of <a href="http://blackhillsgoldjewelry.blogspot.com/2012/04/tips-on-choosing-perfect-engagement.html" target="_blank">the perfect engagement ring</a>, yet all women are different. As you go on to have the most glamorous and colorful Spring wedding you can ever have, be sure to obtain quality, handcrafted wedding jewelry to crown your big day and become archive for memories you'll treasure forever.<br />
<br />
And if you want to own elegance, quality, value, hand-crafted beauty and a part of American history all in one piece of jewelry, consider Black Hills Gold Jewelry from the original and legendary Landstroms. <a href="http://blackhillsgoldsource.com/" target="_blank">BlackHillsGoldSource.com</a> offers a variety of Black Hills Gold wedding jewelry, including the best selection of competitively-priced <a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/engagement-rings" target="_blank">Landstroms engagement rings</a> found online.<br />

Every woman dreams of the perfect engagement ring, but every woman
is different. It can be challenging to know exactly what is right for
the woman you love. If you're considering a proposal, there are some
things you can do to ensure that the ring you choose for this special
moment will be an outstanding choice... one she'll be proud to show off
on her wedding day and forever after.<br />
<br />
The best engagement rings
offer the highest standards of quality and workmanship. Traditional
designs feature solitaire diamonds (a single diamond) normally held in a
setting with six prongs (referred to as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_mount" target="_blank">Tiffany mount</a>). Other
designs include smaller side stones in addition to the solitaire.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
Black Hills Gold</h3>
Attractive designs, such as Black Hills Gold <a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/engagement-rings" target="_blank">engagement rings</a>, offer a
touch of true American beauty. These designs are made in America, all
being made in the Black Hills of South Dakota and birthed out of the
last great American gold rush of the late 1800's. Black Hills Gold
jewelry features pink and green colored leaves and gold grapes and
grapevines. Combining gold with copper makes the pink color, while the
green color is attained by combining sterling silver with gold. Of all
the manufacturer's of Black Hills Gold jewelry, Landstroms is the oldest
and the original, dating back to the 1800's.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Celtic Jewelry</h3>
For timeless
elegance that honors her Irish, Scottish, or Welsh ancestry, consider
choosing Irish engagement rings adorned with Trinity Knots. These
symbols of the Holy Trinity represent faith in God and eternity. For
some brides, lovely Celtic engagement rings or Claddagh rings offer a
touch of mystical beauty that is straight out of a medieval fairy tale.
The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands grasping a heart,
typically surmounted by a crown, representing the qualities of love (the
heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).<br />
<br />
Usually, you wear your <a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/product/02927SS" target="_blank">Claddagh ring</a> on your right hand with the heart
facing outward to tell the world your heart has not been won. But worn
on the right hand with the heart facing inward, you show you have
friendship and love under consideration. And worn on your left hand with
the heart facing inward, it means that two loves have joined forever.<br />
<br />
These are just a couple of unique suggestions. The choice you make should
depend on her personal style. If she loves classic clothes, art, and
traditional style, a Celtic ring might be an excellent choice. Or you
could also look for antique rings or other pieces with a sense of
history. And if she's as comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt as she is in
a fine wedding dress , she might prefer a ring that can be dressed up
or down. Look for flexible pieces.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Quality</h3>
Quality and beauty should be
your key priorities as you begin the hunt for a perfect engagement ring.
The ring you choose should always be stamped (or assayed) to prove the
purity of its precious metals. As well, you should be furnished with
proper paperwork about the diamond you choose. Every diamond is
different, some are almost flawless, and others contain microscopic
inclusions that lower their price.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.diamondinfo.org/" target="_blank">Learning more</a> about the carat
weight, color, clarity, and value of diamonds can make your choice
easier. However, you will probably choose the best stone you can find,
within the confines of your own budget, being sure to choose a
conflict-free diamond in the process.<br />
<br />
Look for
handcrafted quality and proof of a trustworthy dealer. The best jewelers
(whether online, or bricks and mortar) will be there to answer your
questions and make your shopping experience as smooth and pleasant as
possible. Reputable dealers will have a wealth of happy customers, and
they will often be registered with business associations. These sorts of
dealers will back up their merchandise with good warranties.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Budget</h3>
Many men choose to spend
two month's salary on an engagement ring. This rule of thumb is a good
one, but rules are made to be broken! Most women will appreciate a
dazzling ring that fulfills their secret dreams and fantasies.
Generally, a solitaire stone of a decent carat weight (the bigger, the
better) is what she is really looking for! Shopping for an engagement
ring may not be the best time to cut corners and save!<br />
<br />
If
you are really stumped, sit with her as she reads a fashion magazine,
and ask her which types of jewelry she prefers as she turns the pages.
Magazines like <a href="http://www.vogue.com/magazine/" target="_blank">Vogue</a> and <a href="http://www.instyle.com/instyle" target="_blank">Instyle</a> are often filled with jewelry ads.<br />
<br />
She
may suspect something's up if you take this route, but rest assured,
she will be more than happy to show you what appeals to her.
Occasionally, women prefer to be more involved in choosing their own
engagement ring... it depends on the woman and the relationship. Often,
the most romantic option is to surprise her with a lovely ring of your
own choosing... this is definitely the most traditional way to do
things.<br />

Mother's Day is a day that commemorates all the special things that mothers do: nurture our children, provide the best advise when issues arise, offer comfort when things get tough, extend support and caring when life throws hurdles in the way, make the family laugh and cheer us up when we really need it. Above all, our mothers will always be there for us.<br />
<br />
We sometimes forget, or take for granted the multitude of roles mothers play that make the wheel of family life turn. We might often overlook the fact that mothers go through emotionally difficult times too. We may neglect to see when our mother's daily routine and workload gets overbearing and hard to manage. And yet, through it all, mothers still maintain their foundation as a center point of our families.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://66trp.com/c/8383-52459-864480?us=click-5617115-10968335%3FPPCPN%3D8885808448&mobile=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Call Now: 888-580-8448" border="0" class="alignright" height="146" src="http://c.5ribs.com/130953_original.jpg" style="float: right;" width="175" /></a>Mother's Day is a good opportunity to recognize all these efforts, acknowledge her dedication and express your feelings of gratitude. For some of us, it may be difficult to tell our mothers that we love them. A thoughtful present can help show our love and help communicate that message for us. A nice floral gift is a good start, your Mom will certainly appreciate it!<br />
<br />
And a beautiful piece of gold or silver jewelry is a lasting gift that Mother can cherish for a long time. At BlackHillsGoldSource you'll find the best selection of authentic <a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/mothers-rings" pendants="">mothers pendants</a> made by Landstroms. Mothers jewelry is a piece of jewelry, usually a ring or a pendant that is "personalized" with a birthstone for each of the mother's children. All Landstroms jewelry is made in America in the Black Hills of South Dakota the same way it's been made for over 100 years: by hand.<br />

Valentine’s day has been the subject of legends, traditions, medieval plays, rhymes and poems for many centuries and today it still buzzes through our society every February. This year why not will make Valentine’s Day the best yet and memorable for both of you?<br />
<h5>
IDEAS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY</h5>
Here’s an idea that is sure to add that extra touch to a special day. Assuming that you both work regular hours, suggest to her that you have a special happy hour around 5:30 or 6:00 pm. Of course, you already arranged for a nice bouquet of flowers to be delivered earlier that day.<br />
<br />
When that time arrives, relax and have a nice glass of wine and just talk away the day’s events. At 6:30 pm your limousine arrives to whisk you away to that favorite local restaurant you save for special occasions right on time for your 7:00 pm. reservation.<br />
<br />
Once at the restaurant, you get comfortable, maybe order an appetizer, have a nice bottle of wine with dinner and then it’s time to present her with a gift, preferably a piece of beautiful jewelry.<br />
<br />
Then onto dessert, maybe some coffee, the relaxing limo ride home… and there’s still time for wherever the wind takes you.<br />
<h5>
VALENTINE'S PLANS - YOUR KEYS FOR SUCCESS</h5>
We're moving into late January, so it’s time to hustle but you can still get it done! Here are the steps to make your Valentine’s Day event a success with the least amount of time and effort.<br />
<ol>
<li><u>Restaurant</u> – call <span style="font-weight: bold;">today</span> to make your reservation! You can save money by checking first at <a href="http://www.restaurant.com/" target="_blank">Restaurant.com</a> but do it now, February 14th is less than a month away!</li>
<li><u>Flowers</u> – save time, call <span class="number">FTD at <a href="http://66trp.com/c/8383-52459-864480?us=click-5617115-10968335%3FPPCPN%3D8885808448&mobile=1" target="_blank">888-580-8448</a><span style="color: black;"></span></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">today</span> and order your flowers, get it done!</li>
<li><u>Limousine</u> – you can easily schedule a limo online through various services such as <a href="http://www.limos.com/" target="_blank">www.limos.com</a>. This may be a little pricey so you can skip this step and use your own vehicle (or have a single friend chauffeur you).</li>
<li><u>Jewelry</u> – our suggestion: a beautiful Black Hills Gold <a href="http://www.blackhillsgoldsource.com/heart-necklaces" target="_blank">heart pendant</a>, made in America since 1878 by Landstroms Original Black Hills Gold.</li>
</ol>
<h5>
TIPS FOR A MEMORABLE VALENTINE'S DAY</h5>
The main thing to do is to plan ahead so that when the day comes you can both relax. It’s supposed to be an enjoyable, relaxing and fun evening. So anything you can do, such as selecting your clothes in advance, getting an early start, and keeping her in the loop (except for the surprises!) will help to make your special evening one that you will both remember.<br />

Signs of winter are everywhere. Snow storms have already arrived in various places across the country, next weekend we turn the clocks back and say goodbye to daylight savings time, and the birds have begun their annual migration south to escape the coming cold season. It will be a couple of months before we hear our lovely feathered friends' musical songs echoing from the trees again.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we can keep alive the feelings their beautiful melodies bring us with a variety of bird jewelry from Landstroms. Landstroms offers Black Hills Gold and Silver earrings, pendants and lockets featuring birds in trees, hummingbirds with roses, and hummingbirds framed in hearts that we may wear close to us.<br />
