Cameron Diaz x ULINX Blue Bracelet in USA Weekend
Seen on Cameron Diaz – ULINX Jewelry, a fun new magnetic jewelry concept just launched in May and offers an exciting take on the charm bracelet that’s all about tradability and customization.
There is something about Cameron Diaz, isn’t there?
America’s favorite “good girl” took a surprising risk this year by starring in the movie Bad Teacher. The role led many persnickety critics to compare our favorite sweetheart unfavorably with Billy Bob Thornton’s detestable “Bad Santa” character. In any event, Diaz’s massive career risk has attracted massive attention: quite a feat in this Facebook-drenched age.
So when she wore her ULINX bracelet for a cover shoot for USA Weekend, fashion mavens across the blogosphere took serious notice. For those of you who have been living under a fashion rock, ULINX bracelets are magnetic charm bracelets that allow you to mix and match magnetic spheres and charms of all shapes and sizes to create personalized bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc.
Diaz’s choices were “California cool” — she built a blue bracelet that she matched with denim cutoffs, a fun summer red tank and silver bangles. Part of the fun of ULINX jewelry is the “DIY” aspect – you get to create, destroy, recombine, and wildly experiment with your bracelets, rings, and other jewelry and build exotic, cute, and sexy contraptions out of the magnetic charms (a.k.a. “CLIX”).
Some of the more common CLIX include: the Rose Band, Sun Halo, Earth Sphere, Pacific Spiro, Orchid Starburst, Aurora Sphere, and Sky Starburst. You can also get combos of spheres and CLIX such as “Soho Spring” “Laguna Surf” “Bel Air” and “Haven Island.” Just as Diaz is changing the way we think about “charming” teachers, so is ULINX changing the way we think about charm bracelets.

Dalla Nonna Calendar Necklace Gift for the Grad
Looking for a gift for your grad? One of my favorite’s is the dalla nonna’s Signature Calendar necklace. It has been seen on Jessica Alba and is one of my fav’s because it comes in rose gold and you can pick your favorite gemstone or your birthday month gemstone to customize the necklace to your birthday ! The bracelets are adorable too and are just great special personalized pieces to give the grad as a gift. If I was a grad, I would ask for a rose gold calendar necklace with my birthstone on it. Fingers crossed that a little birdie will hear my wish and get it for me(cough – husband). They are available at www.dallanonnajewelry.com

Promise Ring Idea: Claddagh Ring
When you find someone who makes you feel special, you want to share that feeling. One of the ways you can do this is with a promise ring. There are many different promise rings available. However, one types of ring with an interesting history is the Claddagh ring. It is especially appropriate if the woman to wear the ring has Irish or Celtic heritage, even though many without Irish heritage enjoy the look and the symbolism of the Claddagh ring.
Origins of the Claddagh Ring
Because of the nature of the Claddagh ring, and what we know about it, knowing the exact origins of the ring are difficult. It seems as though romanticism has crept into the narrative. However, many believe that the first Claddagh rings were made in the 17th century, during the time Queen Mary II, who reigned simultaneously with her cousin (and husband) William.
These rings were thought to be created in the fishing village of the same name, Claddagh, located near Galway in Ireland. Some lorists maintain that the rings were passed from mother to first married daughter, while others contend that most Claddagh rings were originally worn by men. In any case, there is symbolism in the rings that predates them, going all the way back to Roman times:
* Heart = Love
* Hands = Friendship
* Crown = Loyalty
You can see why, with such symbolism, a Claddagh ring makes a good promise ring. You can promise your love, friendship and loyalty to someone you feel strongly about. Finger rings with special symbolism have been part of European tradition since the time of the Roman Empire, and it is no surprise that the people of Claddagh in Ireland eventually produced their own.
Wearing the Claddagh Ring
A promise ring in Claddagh style can be made in a variety of ways. In the simplest designs, the entire ring is made from gold or silver. In some cases, though, the heart (which is held between two hands and topped by a crown) is replaced by a gemstone. Many people like to use an emerald, representing the green of the “Emerald Isle.” However, it is also fine to use the favorite stone of the intended recipient, or use a birthstone.
The wearer of the Claddagh ring can indicate his or her relationship status by the way the ring is worn. Here are the most common ways a Claddagh ring is worn, although there are other traditions involving the finger the ring is worn upon:
1. If you are married: Wear the ring on your left ring finger. The small end of the heart should be turned toward your body, so that the heart appears right side up to you.
2. If you are engaged: The Claddagh ring should be worn on your left ring finger. However, the heart should be pointing away from you, so that it appears upside down when you look at your hand.
3. If you are promised or dating someone: If you aren’t engaged, but if you are in a serious relationship, you wear the ring on your right hand, facing toward you so that it looks right side up. If wearing as a promise ring, and you aren’t engaged, this is a good way to wear the ring.
4. If you are single: Even singles can wear the Claddagh ring. Simply wear it on your right hand so that the heart faces away from you, appearing upside down.
As you can see, this can be a love tradition, especially as you progress in the relationship; the promise ring can be moved to show your progressing relationship.

Le Sibille Fez Mosaic Necklace
Then again: there are necklaces that literally take your breath away… and not just because of the richness of the stones. Rather, it’s the craftsmanship and the way the jewelers and designers managed to “get more” out of the stones then one might imagine would have been possible.
Enter the Le Sibille Fez Mosaic Necklace. Pinks, reds, aquamarines, bright whites, rosy reds, gilded oranges, mysterious browns, petals of luminescence, and gems of every hardness and rarity glimmer in this piece. The main feature is the bottom pendant, which is literally bursting with flowers made out of gemstones. There are white ones, green ones, orange ones, aquamarine ones – it’s a veritable treat for the senses.
What’s also cool is the way the necklace extends in three components: from the purplish top through a reddish ruby stone in the middle, down to the larger floral pendent at the bottom. There’s a liquid feel to the piece. The more you study it, the more stunned you’ll be by its glow.
