I am trying to figure out what color jewelry and what makeup works best for my prom look. I have a dark turquoise prom dress with allover turquoise/green/purple beading. I have very fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. Looking for what color bracelets/earrings/rings would go with my dress and features…I’m not planning on wearing a necklace because my dress has a criss-cross style neck. Any help is appreciated!

What make up and jewelry should I wear for my 8th grade graduation? My dress is green and white, has some black and brown, and a little bit of yellow too. My shoes are brown and light brown. So what should my makeup and jewelry be? Please be detailed. Thank you!

How to choose a Tungsten wedding ring. Choosing a Tungsten wedding ring can be a simple process if you keep these steps in mind.

Tungsten carbide rings are exploding in popularity, and with good reason. Tungsten is a natural metal that is strong, but brittle in its unprocessed state. When it is combined with an alloy like nickel it becomes four times stronger than titanium and it holds its polished shine for life.

A Tungsten wedding ring is known for two things; its resistance to scratches and the permanent shine it holds. Tungsten rings can be scratched, but it requires high pressure and something harder. A steel file won’t scratch a Tungsten ring, but a diamond will. You can even bang on your ring with a hammer and it will maintain its shape.

When choosing a Tugsten ring there are a few decisions you need to make. First a women’s Tungsten wedding ring is usually 5mm-6mm while a men’s Tungsten wedding ring is 6mm-10mm typically. Tungsten is a heavy metal so the thicker the ring, the more you will feel it on your finger.

Tungsten wedding rings are usually a comfort fit so when determining the ring size round up rather than down to allow for a better fit of the ring.

Tungsten rings, like other wedding rings, can have domed, faceted, beveled, concave, and other types of common designs. They can also have unique designs. If you see a design in Titanium that you like, chances are you can get the same design in Tungsten.

When looking for a Tungsten ring there is one very important piece of information to consider and that is the makeup of the Tungsten ring. Many rings that claim to be Tungsten Carbide rings may in fact be Tungsten processed with cobalt instead of nickel. Cobalt reacts with the skin causing spots and color changes which cannot be polished out. The rings made with cobalt are not scratch resistance and are not as strong as Tungsten Carbide rings. An easy way to know if the Tungsten ring is made with cobalt or not will be the price. Tungsten carbide rings will cost about the same price as gold and platinum rings and Tungsten cobalt rings will cost closer to silver rings.

Tungsten Carbide rings made with nickel do cost more, but they will last as long as your love for each other. Tungsten wedding rings made with cobalt will probably only last a year or two.

To recap on how to choose a Tungsten wedding ring; Tungsten Carbide is scratch resistant, durable, and holds a shine for life. Decide on the style you like including the width of the ring. Determine your comfortable ring size. Make sure the tungsten ring is not made with cobalt. Enjoy the permanent shine of a Tungsten wedding ring.

When someone says they love silver jewelry, they could be referring to anything from pure sterling silver to very cheap silver-plated costume jewelry. Silver can refer to the type of jewelry or merely the outside color of jewelry. But when one mentions “sterling silver” jewelry, they’re usually talking about a high grade of silver used to make beautiful, durable jewelry.

Sterling Silver Facts

Silver is a precious metal that has been used to create jewelry on a wide scale since the late 1700s. Though it was used in jewelry before that time, mining in continents of the western hemisphere revealed an abundance of silver, thus increasing the amount of silver used in jewelry production from the 1700s through the present. Silver in its pure form is very soft and will not produce durable silver jewelry; therefore, silver is mixed with a variety of other metals so the jewelry can withstand everyday wear without being harmed. One such combination of silver with other metals is called sterling silver.

According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, a piece of jewelry cannot be referred to as silver, solid silver, or sterling unless it has a pure silver makeup of at least 92.5 percent, or 925 parts per thousand of pure silver. The most common mixture for  jewelry is copper and silver. The silver becomes harder and more durable when copper is added; however, copper also causes silver jewelry to have a tendency to tarnish. When jewelry tarnishes, it has a darkened color.

Types of Jewelry

You can find almost any type or style of sterling silver jewelry you want – especially online. You can buy chains “by the inch,” meaning you can have chains handmade to suit your needs and the desired size. Having your silver chain custom-made makes it easy to create the length needed for your neck size, or wrist or ankle size for bracelets and anklets. No more worry about buying a necklace that’s too tight or too big.

Silver jewelry can be customized with various clasps such as lobster claw clamps or toggles. You can buy numerous silver pendants to wear on your silver chain, and change pendants with every outfit! For an elegant look and feel, try handcrafted Bali jewelry or other unique styles that will really make your jewelry stand out. Besides handmade chains, stores usually offer silver rings, bracelets, anklets, and earrings.

Caring for Jewelry

Sterling silver tends to tarnish and may develop a beautiful patina (unique glow with darkened areas). Some silver fans like this look for their jewelry. If you like the patina look, then wear it as is. If not, polish your jewelry with a soft polishing cloth to restore your silver to its natural shiny state. Sterling silver should be cleaned gently with polish cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners – even toothpaste can leave scratches on your jewelry! When storing your  jewelry, place it in tarnish prevention bags or cloths, which help slow the tarnishing process. Also, keep your jewelry in a cool room with low humidity. If storing in a box or case with other jewelry, prevent your silver jewelry from tangling with other harder jewelry, which might cause scratches on the jewelry.

Sterling silver jewelry provides a lovely accessory for wear to work, parties, and romantic outings. It is also affordable so you can buy it for yourself or as a gift for a friend without spending a fortune.
