According to a recent reports women are no longer satisfied with a Congratulations and a healthy baby once they have given birth, no no they want to be showered in Jewellery for this achievement!!

Stores such as Tiffany & Co have been marketing new rings with pink or blue sapphire’s for new mothers.

I personally think that this is crazy I mean how far can you go? There are so many marketing things now just to make money!! I think people get greedy they want more and more! I would be satisfied with my new baby, I definitely wouldn’t need a coloured ring to prove anything!

Following my post last week about gold becoming more popular apparently its rocketed so much in the states that people have been rooting through their jewellery boxes to sell there old gold pieces for cash!!

Because of this increase in sales people have been advised to cash in now with any jewellery they don’t wear, according to some jewellers in the city they have been bombarded with allsorts from necklaces to charms to sentimental rings! 

I would definitely get rid of any old gold if I had the chance but not sure about sentimental things?!

As of this month I will be starting an new monthly feature covering precious stones, starting with Birthstones. Every month I will be covering each Zodiac sign’s birthstone.

This will be a bit of fun, but for those of you who don’t read much into Star Signs, Crystal healers do swear you will have luck and prosperity just by adding a piece of jewellery with your gemstone into your daily wardrobe! So why not give it a try?! Even if your not a believer its a good excuse to get a new piece of gorgeous jewellery! :-)

For those of you who are unsure of what Zodiac sign you are and what stone represents you, please see the chart below:

Zodiac Sign Birthstone Colour

Capricorn Ruby Red

Aquarius Garnet Dark Red

Pisces Amethyst Purple

Aries Bloodstone Multicolor

Taurus Sapphire Deep Blue

Gemini Agate Multicolor

Cancer Emerald Deep Green

Leo Onyx Black

Virgo Carnelian Reddish

Libra Peridot Light Green

March’s birthstone is Aquamarine. Victoria Beckham and Queen Latifah were born in March, and they both share aquamarine as their birthstone. There are several birthstones connected to the month of March including jade and bloodstone, but aquamarine is by far the gem most associated with the month. It is also the birthstone connected with the horoscope sign Scorpio.

According to a New York shopper’s the price of gold Jewellery has shot up by twenty percent.

In the past year gold has become more popular than silver, most department stores such as Tiffany have raised their prices to increase profits and demands!

I am definitely a silver girl myself. I like gold and wear some gold costume jewellery sometimes when I’m going out but not for everyday. I think you either suit one or the other, what do you think?

Nelly Furtado was pictured at the Grammys this month, looking very hot with her new blonde look! I’m loving the choker necklace and  beautiful drop earrings but somehow they don’t look right together, less is more I think??

I’ve just spotted this picture of Salma Hayek out at some showbiz thing in Hollywood. I think she looks ultra sexy in this beautiful flower shaped necklace, it’s perfect with the outfit!

The new mum hasn’t wasted anytime getting back to her sexy self, she gave birth to daughter Valentina less than three months ago!!! But I’m sure motherhood gives you that extra sparkle? Well it seems to in the world of celebrity’s anyway!
