Dress for Success - Claim Your Style With Italian Charms

I don’t know about you, but the toughest part of my morning routine is deciding
what to wear. That’s right: I have no trouble hopping out of bed early…but I rarely
get to work on time–all because I spend precious morning minutes pondering the perfect
outfit. And it’s not even the big issues—like which top or what pants to wear—that
take up all my time. I don’t even hassle over matching my socks: no, it’s the accessories
that always get me. I blame my mother. She has always been great at accessorizing
- a real natural! Some how her skills were lost on me.


Fortunately, I recently discovered the ideal accessory—it goes with every outfit!—the
Italian Charm bracelet. This little accessory has rescued me from fashion oblivion
countless times. And, lately, I’ve even managed to get to work on time! Italian
charms meet every one of my criteria (and even several of my mother’s) for the perfect
accessory: they match any outfit (very important factor!); they are unique; and
they attract attention (especially on all-important date nights).


Italian charm bracelets are the popular new style of charm bracelet made of small
flexible metal links, each with a unique image. They have become popular for their
sleek style and because of the great variety of charm links—there are links for
each and every style. Italian Charm bracelets are the perfect solution to any accessory
problem because they go with any outfit.


The best thing about Italian charms is that they’re removable and interchangeable,
which means that they can both fit your fashion needs and express your unique personality.
Charms come in all styles—from serious to silly. You can choose to put your Italian
Charm bracelet together with letters, to spell your name, or with images, to tell
the story of who you are and what you like to do. For everyday use, you may choose
to wear fun, personal charms that express your identity.


There are thousands of charms to fit your personality: charms that reflect your
favorite pastimes and activities, charms that indicate your favorite travels or
artists; you can even have Italian Charms made with photos of yourself or your friends!
And, on those special occasions when you have to dress to impress, you can unlink
a few of your personal charms and replace them with some more elegant ones such
as flowers, classic paintings, or just sophisticated designs. And all the charms
come in a sleek silver color, so you can be sure that they will match any outfit
you choose.


Italian charms are just the accessory you have been looking for: they will flatter
both your outfit and your excellent sense of style! No more wasting precious minutes
before work or that big date digging through loud scarves and gaudy jewelry—just
pull out your Italian charm bracelet and consider yourself a fashion accessory success!


While I can’t guarantee that it will be easy to pick out your outfit next time
you’re preparing for that hot date, you can rest assured that you will at least
have the perfect and unique accessory: your Italian Charm bracelet. When you’re
on your date, you’ll be sure to impress him with your beautiful outfit accented
by a gorgeous bracelet. Plus, if you include a few of your personal, fun charms,
you’ll create a perfect conversation starter for your date. Who knows, maybe on
your next date he’ll be wearing one as well!

Magic Squares as Lucky Charms and Talismans

Magic Squares have been associated with good fortune for over 4,000 years. They
have been used to create potent talismans of good luck and protection. What factors
give them this property, and how can we use them for our own ends?


History of Magic Squares


Wu of Hsia, founder of the Chinese dynasty which bears his name; discovered a
tortoise who's shell had the markings of a perfect (3 x 3) Magic Square. This square,
known as Lo Shu, or 'River Picture' became the basis of the I Ching, the Ki, and
other forms of Chinese divination.


In the West, thought the Middle Ages, magic Squares were engraved on silver and
sold as talismans. They were regarded as a protection from disease. In India, Magic
Squares date back to the Eleventh century.


In the West, Wu's Magic Square became the 'Square of Saturn'. Cronelius Agrippa
studied and named a series of Magic Squares for the various Planets, and ascribed
various proprieties to the squares based on their connection with these planets
in Astrology.


Physic Properties of Magic Squares


Magic Squares have (2) properties which make them perfect as magical formulas
for creating talismans: their symmetry, and repetition.


Magic Squares have the property of symmetric resolution. By their nature, they
form a completed pattern. The fact that every row, column, and diagonal of the figure
adds up to the same total, gives them balance. The universe as a whole is a system
in which we draw forth balance and completion. The very cycle of Life is seen as
a never-ending circle, a continuing pattern which is repeated over and over; A Magic
Square models this pattern.


Magic Squares, also give us endless repetition. We can add each row and column
in turn, and arrive at the same result over and over. This is the very nature of
spells; a charm or prayer which is repeated over and over to build momentum, and
draw power for a working.


Constructing a Magic Square


One of the wonderful things about Magic Squares, is that anyone can construct
them. You don't have to be a great artist to draw them, they're made completely
out of numbers. With just a little research you can create your own personal talisman
in no time at all.

A Buyers Guide To Finding The Best Deals On Wholesale Italian Charms

It's absolutely the easiest thing to start up your own online jewelry business! You'll need to get your license via your local chamber of commerce, but once you've got that you can begin searching for wholesale jewelry products that you'll be selling online.

Unless you are planning on making your own jewelry (something to think about in the future?) you'll need to develop a relationship with a wholesaler. A wholesaler is the company or organization or person who buys large quantities of a product and sells to merchants or retailers (you) who then sell to the public. Wholesalers, because they buy their product in bulk, are able to sell the product at a much cheaper price than you would find in a retail store. Say, for example, that you want to sell Italian charms. In order for you to make a good profit and yet keep your products at a reasonable price, you'll need to find Italian charms at wholesale prices.

The Internet is the perfect place to locate wholesalers and there are literally countless suppliers of Italian charms. The first thing to do is to try a search for "Italian charms wholesale" or something like that. That will bring up lots of websites and you'll have to sift through them all to find the appropriate wholesaler for your needs. You should already know exactly what you want to be selling. Try to find a wholesaler who'll be able to provide you with all the Italian charms you want as well as any other jewelry or materials that you'll need. It will be much easier, especially in the beginning, to develop a business relationship with the one company that can deliver all your needs at once.

Do try to determine that the company you choose is a wholesaler or manufacturer who sells wholesale, that way you'll probably be securing the best price. A broker is a business person who sells on behalf of a company for a commission. This will probably mean a higher price for you. Read up on the company's history, usually found on the "About Us" page. Determine the level of experience of your wholesaler. A long history in online ordering certainly makes for a better service.

The next important thing to check up on is the policy your wholesale supplier has on returns and faulty merchandise. As a retailer you need to be happy about your product in order to sell it. As such, you need the assurance of the wholesaler that if you are not satisfied with the product you buy they'll accept it back, no questions asked. Any wholesaler who cannot do this is not worth getting involved with.

Lastly, make sure your Italian charms wholesaler has a massive selection of charms. Italian charms are always popular so you'll need to think about your future sales right from the start. Make sure you find a wholesaler with an impressive selection of charms and one that is always updating stock. That means you'll always be able to provide your customers with the best products.

A Circle of Life Diamond Pendant Will Round Out Your Existence

If you're in the market for a pendant or necklace, there are almost infinite varieties, shapes, and sizes to choose from. Whether it's a circle of life diamond pendant or black pearl necklace, they are a great treat or gift to give on birthdays and holidays. Here are the top five choices people are making for necklaces and pendants.

? A sterling silver ID pendant that displays the recipient's name in a readable script is popular. There are three Austrian crystals just below the name that match the birth stone color. It hangs on a neat diamond rolo chain.

? Once again, Austrian crystals adorn this gorgeous Heart's Birthstone Necklace, complete with a dangling 10-inch chain that has interspersed spacer beads.

? Angel Birthstone Charms are a top-selling item and you have a choice again of Austrian crystal birthstone colors. Complete with 14-K gold plating, or you can add your own gold necklace chain, if you wish.

? The Sterling Silver Mother's Birthstone Charm Pendant is popular and is meant, of course, for moms and grandmothers. It has an asymmetrical sterling heart, which makes a great gift for a loved one, personalized with their birthstone color. It comes complete with a 20-inch sterling silver chain.

? And finally the Birthstone Baby Bootie Charm is a wonderful necklace and is also a good choice for mothers or grandmothers who want to commemorate their children's birth month in a unique way. A single gem sits in the opening of the shoe and the charm dangles by itself on a chain.

The floating heart diamond necklace is also immensely popular and is absolutely gorgeous! It comes with a stunning chain that adjusts from 16 to 18 inches and has a very sturdy lobster-claw clasp. The pendant is 1 ? inches by 1 ? inches and is a very thick piece. This is not a flimsy or cheap piece and is sold at auctions regularly. It is heavily layered in Rhodium to give you many years of carefree wear. A circle of life diamond pendant is the number-one selling pendant and comes complete with a two-carat diamond circle. It looks extremely elegant for almost any occasion. If you love to collect jewelry, it is a must-have item. The circle of diamonds consists of 25, round, cut stones totaling two carats and comes on an 18-inch chain.

Another fantastic piece of jewelry is the black pearl necklace. The Tahitian, black pearl necklace is commonly seen in shades of black and gray. Although it does have a black body color, it will vary in its overtones, which are sometimes green or pink. This popular necklace goes well with fair or light colored skin as the pink overtones blend well. Women with dark skin are those who will more easily find the cream or black overtones look best. The majority of black pearls for making a black pearl necklace come from French Polynesia. The French Polynesian government has set a minimum nacre thickness at 0.8 millimeters.

Anything less than that is not allowed to be sold on the market. Nacre is the crystalline, calcium substance that is secreted by the mollusk. It is a defense against foreign article intrusion into its body, and this is the shiny part of the pearl. The Tahitian black pearl necklace doesn't come cheap and you're going to end up paying a lot for this stunning piece of jewelry. Of course, only you know what you like best and even though I've listed the top five selling necklaces and pendants, it all boils down to your own personal choice. Whether it's a circle of life diamond pendant or floating heart diamond necklace, jewelry will make you feel elegant and beautiful!

How To Energise Your Moonstone Pendant

Moonstone is one type of popular gemstone and is also a nature's wonder. Millions of years of formation have made Moonstone having strong healing properties and energies that can benefit the wearer spiritually. Personally I have some moonstone pendants and I wear them often to soothe my mood.

But before using a moonstone accessory for spiritual healing, it is good to purify it as they may have passed through different hands like money, travelled through different environments and filled with various magnetic fields. All these are imprinted within the stones and stored in their "crystalline" memory. It is always advisable to erase any "memory" recorded in the stone structure before they are worn.

In order to do so, Maria Duval advises you to immerse the moonstone pendant in a glass of receptable containing spring water (mineral water) for 24 hours. After that, do so regularly (about every second month) in order to discharge the gemstone of any negative energies it may possibly have accumulated in its structure.

To "recharge" your gemstone with lunar fluid, all you need to do is to expose your moonstone pendant to the moonlight overnight, preferably when the moon is in the Ascendant (the period extending from the New Moon to the Full Moon), on a window sill just to take an example.

Do this every two months too, after first purifying your stone in spring water. That way you will always have available a moonstone accessory capable of working at the best of its magic potentials.
