I have been looking for some casual jewellery wear as I seem to be just slobbing about in my quicksilver clothes as they are they make the most comfortable jeans in the world when you want baggy ones.

I have found that New look do lots of quirky little stud earrings or even  hoops depending on the look you are going for but be careful you don’t look like a chav when wearing hoops and casual clothes because I have nearly made this mistake lots of times.

Top shop and River Island do a good range as well but I have found these tend to be more dress up jeweler with their headbands, cocktail rings, over the top necklaces and even bracelets.

I am obsessed with shoes at the moment, the other day I threw away 8 pairs of shoes which I have not even worn in about a year as they are so dated but I convinced myself that they would come back into fashion one day.

Lastly I have to say that I saw a girl going into the gym the other day with a full face of make up on, bangles all the way up her arm, a long necklace on and big hoop earrings, why on earth would she do that??

My friends are all raving about the new line of jewellery on Asos made by Disney.  One of them has bought the Disney Couture 14ct Gold plate “Fairest Of Them All” necklaces (Seen Below) which costs £24.50 online, which Lindsay Lohan has been seen wearing.

I have also found on Asos a 14ct Gold Plate Sitting Tink necklace, a Gold Plated Beauty & the Beast Crest Ring, a Gold And Crystal “Believe” Short Necklace and they have lots of other items on there as well.

My friends got them because they are different and a bit fun.

I wonder that now Katie Price and Peter Andre have broken up she will give me her wedding ring, i know most people thought i was tacky but i loved it.  I am not saying that i would like one the same when i get married (not that i could afford it) but it would be a nice ring for the odd night i get to go out.

Katie and Peter have both made their first public appearance today with Katie strutting her stuff in a tiny white biking up a catwalk (with a great tan after her stay at the Maldives0 and Peter was on stage with a lot of sexy strippers for Here Come the Boys dance show at the London O2.

There are loads of sales on at the moment so this means all the shop windows have banners advising of this, i know there is a recession on at the moment but i must say it is an advantage to my shopping habit as it means i get more for my money.

I am loving the Dorothy Perkins sale at the moment and they even had half price jewellery online which i may have purchased a few items.  Looks like i am going to have to buy a bigger jewellery box and even a new wardrobe to go with them.

The sales in my favorite shops beat the buy one get one free offers in the supermarket during the depressing weekly shop.

If you log on to the websites you can sign up for weekly or daily newsletters so that you don’t miss the online deals when they happen and they have some great deals so why not sign up during your lunch break and waste some time and to annoy your friends sign them up but use their work email so they get in trouble.. he

Rihanna has requested that all the jewellery taken as evidence the night she was allegedly attacked by her now ex boyfriend Chris Brown be returned to her.

She was wearing $1.4 million (£1 million) worth of jewellery just hours before the Grammy Awards in February.

The jewellery included earrings and three rings were on loan to the Umbrella singer from an unamed shop but her lawyer, Donald Etra, said he believes the police will have no problem in releasing the jewellery.

“Apparently, initially, the police felt that it would be needed as evidence, ” Mr Etra told the BBC.
“Now the belief is that photographs would be more than sufficient.
“That being the case, we’re asking the district attorney to return the pieces.”

I have found a few tips on how to keep your jewellery in tip top condition.

1. only wear jewellery for appropriate tasks, eg, dont wear rings for washing up, cleaning, gardening or sports activities.
2. take jewellery off when applying hairspray, perfume or using nail varnish removers.
3. Clean all jewellery regularly using special products.}
4. When removing rings for tasks, eg going to the gym, washing up, don’t leave them by the sink always add them to your necklace or put away properly.
5. Take all jewellery off when swimming as chlorine can cause damage.

The biggest advice i can give is to never scrimp on jewellery as the cheaper it is the worst it has been made.

Engagement rings originally served a double purpose, it was partial payment for the bride and a symbol of the groom’s intentions and these are seen as the ultimate symbol of someones love.

The wedding ring is a symbol of marriage and a promise of each others love.
Diamond earrings are a common way to mark an occasion wether it be an aniversary, a birthday or just a reason to tell someone you love them.

Diamonds are known as the hardest known naturally occuring mineral and are very hard to scratch or damage (unless hit with a hammer than they will smash)

I have just had a look on Asos.com and they have a brand new section with items which are £10 and under.  There is a few bracelets and necklaces on there which arent half bad.

There is actucally a nice French Connection bangle which is priced at £4.00 (see picture below) whichi i think is a bargain too good to miss, especially with the summer coming up and all the dresses being dusted down.

asos-bangle1There is a sale on selected shoes as well with up to 50% off so whilst you are looking at the bargain jewellery why not pick up a pair of shoes as well??

Believe it or not but Evans is on fire at the moment with their selection of jewellery they have on offer at the moment, from their bracelets / bangles to their necklaces they are all gorgeous.

The white cuff’s they have for sale are going to be hot this spring / summer.

evans-cuffEvans is known to be a shop which sells clothes for the upper size (14 - 32) and actually has some cute clothes for the upper sized lady.

It is nothing to be ashamed of being a larger curvier lady, with the clothes and the accesories they have you will be wowing people wherever you go…

An eternity ring is the perfect symbol of everlasting love, it is a circle of metal with no beginning and no end and is usally given at a significant aniversary wether it is to celebrate a first year of marriage or the birth of the first child.

The ring is usually worn on the same finger as the engagement and wedding ring but I know a couple of people who wear it on a different finger but on the same hand.  The wedding ring and engagement ring are worn on the third finger of the left hand and the Ancient Egyptians belived this finger contained the vein of love that runs directly to the heart.

The classic eternity ring is a full circle of stones, most commonly diamonds, set on a gold or platinum band wheras a half eternity ring is a half band of stones.

The diamond trilogy ring is a popular alternative to the eternity ring with a diamond to represent your past, a diamond to retresent your present and a diamond to represent your future
