			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The circle has no beginning and no end. That’s probably why hoop earrings are always in fashion! We are here to give you the definitive answers to a few age-old questions: </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Is it what’s inside the hoop that counts?</strong><br/><br />
There are plenty of fascinating reinterpretations of the classic hoop earrings. Add a bit of spark, color and style by wearing hoop earrings with featured gemstones. Anything from clear Swarovski crystals for a sparkling “diamond” look to ravishing red garnet dropt or trendy turquoise chips. </p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Does size really matter (a.k.a “The Goldie Locks approach to hoop earrings”)?</strong><br/><br />
Hoop earrings are often worn as a statement piece. Usually, the bigger the hoop – the bigger the statement! But keep in mind that the same pair of oversized hoop earrings that was the rage at yesterday’s chic cocktail party might enrage your boss when you wear it to the office. When dressing for work, opt for an office friendly middle sized hoop.<br />
Remember, it’s not the size, but what you do with it…</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Is less really more?</strong><br/><br />
When wearing large hoop earrings, you are running the risk of crossing the line from “Oh Mama” to “Hoochie Mama”. With oversized hoops, you want to limit yourself to one statement piece and complement it with tasteful makeup and little to no other jewelry.<br />
But when you are wearing smaller hoops, feel free to mix and match to your delight!</p>

</table>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>If you wore an earring and no one could see it, did it make an appearance?</strong><br/><br />
Ok, ok… maybe the original question had something to do with trees in a forest, but the philosophical issue remains the same. Buying a beautiful hoop earring and covering it up with your hair is an unspeakable crime against fashion! Long hair is the perfect occasion for some super large hoop earrings, or hoop earring variations such as this one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">One of my favorite pass times as a little girl, was to go through my mothers jewelry box.<br />
I would pretend I was a princess, and a wonderful feeling would come over me as I would try on all my “treasures”. Even today, when I open my own jewelry box, I get a knot in my stomach as the memories and smells of my childhood come rushing back to me.  It is amazing, just how many of my childhood memories are connected with that jewelry box. </p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">My mother would halfheartedly scold me, but allowed my games to go on just as long as I never touched “her favorite necklace”. It was a treasured anniversary gift from my father, and since my mother valued it above all her other jewelry, so did I.  I’ll never forget how she cried when in my quest for the forbidden fruit I secretly took that necklace and accidentally tore it. I still remember the feeling of cold horror that came over me as the beads were rolling down on the floor. Luckily my father with his gold hands has managed to restring it, and today we all laugh about it at family dinners.  </p>

</tbody>
</table>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">I still remember every piece of jewelry that was in that box. My great grandmother’s amber necklace that seemed magical to me; The pearl necklace my mother received on her high school graduation; A beautiful silver pendant with an image of the queen of spades on the front and a monogrammed “lot’s of happiness” on the back which my mother’s best friend gave her on her wedding day. </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">My mother and I would spend hours talking about each jewelry piece, as I urged her to tell me again and again about the stories behind each one. These were not just jewelry pieces. Each was a treasured window to the past, like a vintage family photograph from the times when only a handful of them was ever taken. The memories they represent are as alive in my mind today, as if they were my own.   </p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Usually as we grow up, we get disenchanted with our childhood treasures. Those pieces of rock and green glass we used to cherish just don’t seem that valuable anymore. It is very rare for a childhood treasure to grow in value as you grow older. My mother’s jewelry box is as much a treasure to me now as it ever was. My mother and I still look through it together, just as I hope to look through my own jewelry box with my own daughter one day. </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">So cherish your jewelry keepsakes, add to them, share them with your loved ones, and may the memories they carry live long after you have passed.</p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">If you don’t have any heirloom jewelry, there is no time like the present. Ask your loved ones to give you jewelry gifts for special occasions, and do the same for them.  In a few years you will have your own jewelry legacy, that will help strengthen family bonds and preserve memories in a beautiful and meaningful way.</p>

Well Sir Epictetus, I respectfully disagree. While that may very well be the reason why men have two ears, any woman knows that the reason why she has two ears is so that she would have plenty of room to flaunt her sexy earrings!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The pearl is an alluring organic gemstone whose fame is exceeded only by its beauty. It has been the subject of more myths and legends then Britney spears and Madonna combined, and has managed to emerge with the grace of Audrey Hepburn and the class of Jackie Kennedy. </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Even in the bible, the pearl was synonymous with treasure. A symbol of luxury and wealth, pearl jewelry adorned the necklines of emperors and queens. During the 17th century pearls were so highly regarded that only royals and nobles were allowed to wear them. The dress code may have changed a bit since then, but the pearl is still making more “red carpet” appearances then any celebrity on the face of the earth. </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The pearl is the embodiment of natural beauty, femininity and elegance. It is the symbol of purity, authenticity and spiritual transformation. It is believed to bring happiness and love in marriage. All this combined with the pearl’s unsurpassed glow has earned it the name “The gem of queens and the queen of gems”. So the rules of fashion may be fickle and ever-changing, but pearl jewelry certainly falls under the timeless category. </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">So when is the right time to wear pearl jewelry? The answer is threefold.</p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">1)	<b>Always</b> - Pearl jewelry is first and foremost a statement of elegance and class. Depending on the design, pearl jewelry can look traditional or modern, dramatic or reserved. But it is always stylish.</p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">2)	<b>Right now!</b>  - Pearls are so feminine and lovely they can make any woman feel special. Sometimes we get so caught up in our day to day lives, we need a little pick-me-up to reawaken our womanhood. So don’t wait for that “black tie” event, put on some pearls right now to look and feel fabulous every day! </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">3)	<b>On Mothers Day</b> - Pearls are always special, but there is one day a year when they are extra special. There is something about pearls and mothers that just goes together. Perhaps the idea of the oyster turning a simple grain of sand into a beautiful gemstone reminds us of the power of a mother’s love. Giving pearl jewelry as a gift to all the mothers in your life is a great way to honor and thank them on this special day (and don’t forget to explain the meaning behind the gift). </p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Take a look at these new pearl earrings from GeliozGems.com. Handmade with high quality (AAA class) pearls, their glow is overwhelmingly beautiful. Don&#8217;t forget it&#8217;s up to <b>50% OFF until Mother&#8217;s Day</b></p>
