Before I begin, let me make this clear: Style Lab: Jewelry Design is a video game but believe me when I say it’s not your typical video game. I know the next question I will get is someone asking: what does this have to do with inexpensive jewelry? And that’s a fair question, the reason I have chosen to write about this is because, this game will not only teach your tween daughters or sons to make bead jewelry and after they have designed the jewelry they can order what they designed online. Isn’t that just a grand idea? Teaching your kids to bead in a video game and then being able to buy whatever they made directly online.
When I first heard about this game, I wondered like most of you, why? What was the point? Instead of buying a video game that lets you pretend that you are beading, why not just do the real thing, afterall there’re many books and videos online willing to show you how to. And then I remembered that it was for TWEENS. What better way to get your child interested in making her own jewelry than giving her a game that lets her play around with the process.
Style Lab: Jewelry Design is for the Nintendo DSi game system (a hand held system that most girls already have or want.) If you want more info on the DSi, Click here

Whether you are choosing to buy children’s earrings because your children are going back to school, or just because you want them to have something new, there are a couple of things to always consider before buying any type of jewelry for them. And they are as follows: Is your child allergic to certain types of metals? Are your child’s ears pierced? How old is the child? Knowing these particular factors can be the difference between the jewelry been a beautiful symbol of your love or it been a horrible experience for your child.
Is Your Child Allergic To Jewelry?
Before you buy any piece of jewelry for your child, you have to make sure you know what metals are in the piece. For example if your child is allergic to nickel, and you buy any jewelry with even the slightest amount of nickel in it, he/she might react to it, and that could results in breakouts (rashes). As a side note, did you know that 1 in every 7 people is allergic to nickel? So it’s a pretty common allergy. Now I know as parents we want our daughters to look beautiful with cute earrings, and for that reason I will tell you the safe pieces to buy for children with allergies to jewelry made of nickel. They are as follow:
- Sterling Silver Jewelry (Sterling silver has no trace of nickel in it, it is usually made with silver and a little bit of copper, so it is safe for children to wear)
- Copper Jewelry (Copper jewelry are not mixed with any form of nickel, so they are also safe to wear)
- Platinum Jewelry (Jewelry made with platinum has absolutely no trace of nickel, so it is safe for anyone allergic to nickel.)
- Titanium Jewelry (Usually referred to as the hypoallergenic jewelry, it is also very durable and safe for anyone with allergies)
Please if your child is allergic, stay away from jewelry labeled as custom jewelry, Fashion Jewelry, German silver or nickel silver. Each of these kind of jewelry are made with nickel. So for the sake of your child please avoid them.
Does She Have Her Ears Pierced?
If you have a child whose ears are pierced, that’s good, you can keep on reading or you can skip this particular step. If your daughter’s ears aren’t pierced yet, then you might want to read this. This are some safety measures to make sure, your child’s piercing all goes smoothly and without infection.
- Use a Professional: When you use a professional to pierce your child’s ears, there is less risk of infection because professionals usually know what they are doing
- Make sure the piercing parlor is sanitary: This should be an obvious thing to look out for but we find that some parents over look it. Your piercer must wash his/her hand or wear gloves before being allowed to touch your child’s ears. You as the parent have to look out for your child’s safety; after all she is your treasure.
- If possible find a place that uses single-use piercing guns: The reason is, there is less chance on getting infected with someone else’s germs, if the gun is immediately disposed after each use. At least you don’t have to worry about it being used on someone else before you.
Now if for whatsoever reason you don’t want your child’s ears being pierced then there are always clip-on earrings. These are earrings that are suitable for anyone who isn’t keen on holes in their ears but my advice is: If it is not against your religious believes or customs, then please just get her ears pierced.
Is There a Difference Between Earrings for Children and those for Adult’s?
YES! There is. You cannot expect your child to wear the same earrings you wear, that’s just absurd. First of all your earrings will be too big for your child’s ears and you will probably end up hurting them. Children earrings are naturally smaller than those for adults and they have more safety measures. And when I say smaller I don’t mean in stone size. The size of the post has to be smaller than that of an adult, the reason is, if it is not, then it will dig and cut into the head region of your child. And no responsible parent wants that.
Another big fear of parent’s is that jewelry can become a choking hazard for their child and that will take us to the next part of this:
How old is your Child: Whether your child is an infant, youngster, or swinging at the brink of teen years, these following precautions apply when buying earrings. When you buy child earrings, make sure it fits the child earlobes tightly. No matter how old this child is, if the earrings do not fit tightly, you are either going to have them get lost or they’ll will becoming a chocking hazard. The screws on the bottom of children’s earrings are usually smooth for comfort and they make sure that the earring can be tightened to your child’s ears. So your job is simple, make sure it fits tightly.
The age of your child contributes to the type of earring you buy for them. You aren’t going to buy the same earrings for a 12 year old and a 1 year old. Older children prefer their jewelry to relate to either pop culture or their interest. For example if she is a ballerina, you might be considered cool, if you buy her ballerina slipper earrings, something to keep in mind.
Keeping Your Child’s Earrings Safe: I wrote an article site about this, it’s called Girls Jewelry Boxes. I will just reiterate what I wrote there. One of the first things a young girl truly owns is her jewelry box and maybe her Barbie or in my case GI JOE (I grew up in a house of wide boys). Now Jewelry boxes not only tech your child accountability but they also make her feel like she is growing up and has more responsibilities. Now the kind of Jewelry boxes you buy for her is all left to you but my advice is; get her a musical jewelry box, they are inexpensive and create a lasting memory in the mind of your child.
Buying earrings for your children isn’t hard, it should be fun. Whether you allow them to choose their own earrings or you surprise them with it, make sure they always value what your money had to buy, an as they growup they will always appreciate whatever they have.

This is probably one of my favorite articles to write for this site. I know you are wondering if I actually mean it and the answer is YES, simply because I love this topic and this will be fun to write about.
Jewelry boxes are one of the first things that a young girl owns which can make her feel older. Whether you are willing to accept it or not, every young girl wants to feel a bit more grown up and giving her a beautiful box that holds all her jewelry, gives her the illusion of independence and teaches her to take care of her things.
Now, the first thing about buying a jewelry box for your girls is understanding that they are still young, so their taste and yours are obviously very different. As adults, we would prefer a jewelry box with different compartments for each kind of jewelry we own but that isn’t always the case with girls. When buying a jewelry box for them, one of the most important things to keep in mind is; do you think that the jewelry box’s design is relevant today? If you bought her a box with a theme revolving around the movie “Casablanca” do you think she will really appreciate it? Now compare that to buying her a Tinkerbell jewelry box.
Even young girls treasure their jewelry, so giving them a box that also has qualities that they can treasure just makes it a perfect combination. Remember, she will probably tell or even show her friends the box. So it has to be something pretty and stylish.
Musical Jewelry Boxes are a good route to go. Some of us owned the musical ballerina jewelry boxes growing up and if you can remember how pretty and cool it made you feel, so then you would know exactly what your girls jewelry box should accomplish.
You should also consider buying a jewelry box with a key and lock. This will teach her more responsibility, it puts her in control of her jewelry and avoids a situation where she has to come crying to you with the problem of disappearing jewelry. If she has the key to her box, it puts her in control of everything about it.
So here are the basics:
- Get her a jewelry box to give her the illusion of independence and to teach responsibility.
- Her taste is not your taste. What you think is important is not to her.
- Get her a Jewelry box that is in style; don’t get her something outdated that she doesn’t understand.
- (If possible) Get her a Jewelry box with its own key. It will make her feel more in control and changes a simple jewelry box into a treasure.
That’s it. Remember, no matter how cheap the jewelry is, to her it’s a jewel worth having and protecting, so help her today in protecting it.

Lapis Lazuli Jewellery 
But as most other jewels, there will come a time when cleaning will be necessary, so here are a couple of tips for cleaning this gemstone: Try to avoid using chemicals or having it become extremely dirty, because any kind of dirt supposedly becomes a hindrance to the energy that this gemstone is suppose to produce. If your gemstone gets dirty and you want to get it cleaned, please don’t use any type of chemical solution, I know that there are now a couple of cleaning solutions for every type of jewelry out there but let me say this again; PLEASE DON’T USE THEM, unless if you are trying to ruin this beautiful stone. The best and only way of cleaning Lapis is by using water, don’t use soap either, just use water. This is the best treatment because any type of foreign material usually gets lodged in the pores of this soft gemstone and affects it’s beauty and the coloring.
You might be skeptical about the power that this gemstone possess but I think there is one thing that most of us will agree on, and that is; Lapis jewellry is absolutely beautiful and if it has the ability to give you peace of mind or any of it’s other supposed powers, then that would simply be a bonus. If you take care of your gemstone, it will shine and who knows, it might just provide you with all the good luck you seek.

REPOST: This was actually posted a while ago but I accidentally deleted it from my page, so for those of you that wanted it back, here it is and I am sorry that I couldn’t restore your comments. 
Are you wanting to buy a ring online, maybe a necklace or some other inexpensive Jewelry but you are not sure on how to find quality amid all the hype? Then you are in luck. This guide should provide you with the tips to get you shopping like a pro online.
There has definitely been an increase to the number of internet stores that have branched into selling Jewelry online lately. And the truth is, it can be hard to tell who you can trust because you are not given the opportunity to hold the Jewelry before buying it. So here are some simple tips to help you on your spree.
Buying Gold Jewelry
Gold comes in different karats, for example it comes in 14, 18 and 24 karats. Try to avoid terms like, gold filled or gold plated if you are looking to buy real gold. The problem is, the minute you start hearing those words, the jewelry is no longer completely gold. It might be diluted gold or even worse, painted gold. Now don’t get me wrong some of these “gold” are actually pretty good, but if you are looking for the real thing, then I would suggest staying away from them. Gold usually comes in different colors, for example: you can find some yellow gold, two-tone gold, white gold and even tri-color gold.
Before moving on, I have to clarify something: There is a pretty big difference between Carats and Karats. No, it’s not a typo. I know the only obvious difference right now is the K and C. So give me a minute to explain the difference in detail. Karats are the measurement of the purity of your gold. The higher the value, the better. For example 24 karats will be purer than 14 karats. On the other hand, a carat is the measure of a diamond’s weight, though it is often confused with size. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams. Am I sounding too technical yet? Hopefully not.
Buying Diamonds
When shopping for a diamond ring, one quality that you should always look at is the diamond carats. The larger the diamond, the more weight it carries. For engagement rings, the carats are usually more than that of an everyday use ring. And the more carats equals to the more you have to pay for it. Quality isn’t cheap unless you know where to go online. But we will talk about that another time. When buying your expensive or inexpensive jewelry online, especially diamonds, If you have questions, feel free to ask the store. I am sure they will be more than willing to give you that information. Because carats are the measurements of the weight rather than the size, two stones with the same identical carat weights may actually appear very different depending on their exact geometry, proportions, and shape. And remember Diamonds may be round brilliant, oval, tiffany, marquise, pear-shaped, heart-shaped, emerald cut, princess cut, trilliant, radiant, or cushion cut. Each one has its own uniqueness. Pick the one you like the most.
Buying Pearls
“One thing you must know is that pearls are all come in different colors and shapes including white, gray, black, or yellow. The shapes of pearls can be round, baroque, symmetrical, or irregular. The most exquisite (and expensive) pearls are the sphere-like round pearls. Necklaces with pearls can have single or double strands. The single strands usually have larger, more expensive pearls than the double strands. A high quality pearl will have a lustrous, shiny surface, strong reflections, and a good contrast between its light and dark areas. Pearls that appear completely flawless are usually fakes, but still your pearls should have minimal blemishes on the surface such as pits, cracks, or discoloration.” “You can if its fake by quickly running a pearl from the set in question along the edge of your teeth. If it feels perfectly smooth, you’ve got fake pearls in your hands!” Remember real pearls should never be that smooth. “Authentic pearl earrings should match in size and their look and feel. Buying fine jewelry online takes a little responsibility on your part.” If a site has Paypal checking, that’s one way you can protect yourself, sales from Paypal are easier to dispute incase it ever comes to that. And also make sure you read their return policy and take notice of their willingness to get to know you.
In closing “Knowing if the gold is genuine will also tell a little about the included stones. Many fake stones will not be set on real solid gold, only on gold plated or gold-filled jewelry, because it would be a complete waste. And also “Read all the jewelry descriptions carefully. Be sure the company is in good standing in the Web community. Better Business Bureau Online is a great place to start. Read all policies on returns, shipping, insurance, and authenticity. Many fine jewelry products come with a Certificate of Authenticity.” Buying inexpensive jewelry is better online because jewelry is usually cheaper, and there is no pressure. Relax, smile its not as complicated as I make it sound.

Vintage Costume inexpensive jewelry might seem like a myth i some circles in this day and age, because good vintage costume jewelry are hard to come by, once in awhile you might come across one in a garage sale because the owner had no idea what they were selling off but for the most part they are expensive and highly sought after. But what if I told you that it wasn’t always so. There was a time when they were very much inexpensive, don’t believe me?

How to Clean Silver Jewelry is a question that most jewelry owners ask, so I have decided to give you a quick way of doing this at home. Silver Jewelry can become blemished with time, thereby becoming dull and unattractive. There are a lot of methods out there to reverse these effects but not everyone can be done in your house. This method uses only the things that should already be at your home.
What you’ll need:
* Aluminum foil
* Pot of water
* Baking Soda
* Pan
Take the pot of water and place it on a stove to begin boiling.
Use this time to cover the pan with aluminum foil
Take the baking soda and sprinkle it on the aluminum foil, be as generous as possible (If your jewelry is extremely tarnished, make a paste of hot water and baking soda and use it to pre-treat it before continuing)
Now simply place the jewelry on the aluminum foil
Take the water which should be be boiling at this time and pour it on top of the jewelry mixed with baking soda
Let it sit for 6 minutes
After it has sat, remove your jewelry and rinse it under cool water, dry it up with a towel and at this time it should be very shiny.
If you have any suggestions leave a comment and for more tips subscribe to this blog.
Warning: If your jewelry has stones make sure this method will not interfere with the stones but if you aren’t sure then don’t proceedwith this treatment
Hello my Darlings, How have you all been? I know I was MIA for a while there; the reason been I was undercover, working for the inexpensive jewelry police, trying to find the best deals for my online Jewelry pals. Actually, the undercover part was a joke, but yes I do work for the jewelry police. :)
We are in a season, where people should be even more conscious about how they spend money. But even in this atmosphere, people still want to look good. Jewelry is still important to most of us and for that reason good Inexpensive Jewelry products are ever more prevalent now than they were before.
So After some researching I found some relatively cheap programs online for those of us that actually make/want to make jewelry and sell at a reasonable price.
1. The Beading Software
This software helps anyone trying to have a profitable Jewelry business by putting your jewelry business on auto pilot. The main purpose is to save you massive amounts of time and make the running of your online business as easy as possible by:

One of the reasons why some internet jewelry businesses fail is because they waste a lot of time on the backside of their site trying to use software that are way To expensive and not specific to the Jewelry industry, and that’s where this sftware is different. It was made specifically for the Jewelry industry. I actually love this software because it is perfect for anyone interested in starting a jewelry business. It gives you the tools every jewelry seller wants/needs. It makes your life so much easier, I love convienence and this software is powerful but also very convienent. There is no need for computer skills, it’s that simple. If you are interested in having a Jewelry business, already have one online or trying to move your real world business online, I think this is a really good software to try out and it is cheap. In my experience most software like this will require you to pay monthly, but this one doesn’t.
The only reason why I am so confident in telling you about this Software is because it has a 60 Days 100% Risk Free Guarantee. Which means you can use it till the 59th day and then cancel it, if you just don’t like it. I love the internet.
