Free Jewelry Giveaways

I’m trying to be a trooper & not eagerly await September. September’s birthday is sapphire. Oh that it were always September. That sounds like a good song lyric, any musicians out there, feel free to use it. OK, I’m going to focus. I’m going to stop thinking about September & I’m going to find some ways to wear peridot that are not ugly, even beautiful.

I think that peridot is a great option for trendy jewelry. It’s a fantastic way to try out a new gemstone cut or style without spending a lot of money. So next time that you see a celebrity wearing a new piece of jewelry, try & find it in peridot. This way you’ll still get a natural gemstone for about the price of a cz.

If you aren’t thrilled that your birthstone is peridot, maybe you just haven’t given it a fair shot. Yes, peridots are green. They are also an unusual shade of green, which August babies may or may not like. Even though it’s sometimes called “Poor Man’s Emerald” peridot doesn’t have that rich, grass green color. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that only comes in one color. The olive or greenish yellow color may not appeal to some people.

However, if you look hard enough you kind find a peridot that is a lighter green, it’s softer. It may not be the most prized form of peridot but if it’s something that you love, then that’s what you should buy. It’s your birthday & you can buy what you want to.

I was flipping through the shopping channels the other day & stopped on the Generations 1912 show. (Yes, I’m that sick. I watch jewelry shows for fun). The Generations 1912 line is one of my favorite, because they use the original molds from their family business. The jewelry has a very vintage feel. What I especially love about their line is how affordable it is, as well as the many rare gemstones they use.

So, I’m used to always just seeing amazing pieces on the Generations 1912 show, but I wasn’t prepared for this. They had paraiba tourmaline. What is quite possibly the rarest gemstone on the planet. Plus, it was only in the $600 range. They have several pieces in paraiba tourmaline, although the $600 is sold out. The jewelry is at great prices & this is definitely an investment piece. Did I mention that it’s the rarest gemstone ever? I had never even seen paraiba tourmaline, only heard about it. Shocking, absolutely shocking. I’m not one to ever use emoticons, but if I was there would be a whole line of smiley faces clapping their hands.
