Gems

For thousands of years gemstones or “gems” have attracted, mystified and enticed society. The colors and reported powers of the gems have created legendary connections to the colored gems. From the deep green of the emerald to the rich blood red of the ruby, the attraction to gems for jewelry, collection and investment has been as deep as the veins of the gems themselves.

In recent years, colored gemstones have become popular choices for engagement rings. New discoveries include the Winza ruby, which needs no alteration to be a stunning addition to the perfect ring setting.

If you want to know all the latest fashion insider information on the gems worn on the red carpet and at other celebrity events, look into the blog on Couture Gems. They offer information on the gems worn, the designers behind the gems and the legends connected to the stones. In addition there are loads of images, videos and articles on celebrity gem sightings.

  This fall/winter is about making a statement with your jewelry. It’s easy to give volume to an outfit simply by accessorizing with the right pieces. Bold bangles are a key wrist item this winter.

  No matter what I try or how many times I try it, mineralize eyeshadows and I just don’t get along. They frustrate me, and using one means I’m adding (wasting) another 15-20 minutes to my makeup routine that really feels unnecessary. I guess it is just not meant to be! I just find that they’re more work than I ...

  Parallels shouldn’t be complicated. Essentially, it’s a double with a little added bonus. Some companies add a different color border, other change the color of the foil. The most famous parallel, the Refractor, adds a colored glow to their cards. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? There are very few parallels that ...

The film stems from a movie trailer parody the two acrtors did for the BET Awards. They got some positive buzz out of it, and next thing ...
