And so it did. 2011 seemed to me at least to get here in a VERY big hurry – it’s totally amazing that at one moment what felt like the delightful days of summer should have turned at first to fall, then winter and here we are in a New Year.
As we look forward to Spring – resolutions set – a focused mind and a determination to live 2011 just a bit better than 2010!
We at Jewelry To Adore, have been taking stock – no not of just the jewelry but metaphorically speaking – after all if not now when?
We have a dream about seeing women and men, adorned in our wonderful jewelry of course – why wouldn’t we. But, what we really would like for 2011 is to hear from you our readers, topics that make us laugh, cry and the ones that make us go hmmn, after all we are all human and those stories are what make it feel especially blessed in being able to send you the jewelry that will be the gifts of the Birthdays, Anniversaries, Mothers & Fathers Days, Graduations, Thank Yous and Whatevers throughout the coming year.
So have a wonderful Happy, HEALTHY and Prosperous 2011 – and do please send us your stories.
Be Blessed.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2010
WOW – how quickly the year went – it feels as though I was telling you about the things I am grateful for only a couple of months ago! This year I’m going to keep it simple, because I read in a book that that is the foundation for many things we do in life.

So as we think of the things that we are each Thankful for, keep it simple. My staples remain the same, good health, family and friends, and love. Which is most probably the same for a lot of people when you dig right down to the surface – so I say Thank You for My Health, My Family, My Friends and the Love that exudes from all my personal connections.
I also want to say a Big Thank You for anyone reading this blog.
THANK YOU
Yes, it’s true the Silver : Gold ratio now stands at 59.6 – so what’s that mean, well simply put it means that the price of silver is currently $22.11 and the price of gold is $1,317.
OK, OK, so I still don’t get it. Well understand this Silver is a rising commodity not surprising as it’s been admired since ancient times and it’s now widely used in industry as well, everything from electronics to medical equipment, obviously we prefer it’s use in Silver Jewelry a market sector which is growing mainly due to the wonderful designs achieved by designers.
Talking of which, do you realise that a Sterling Silver and CZ wedding engagement set can start from as little as $30.00. Yes, they do look fabulous and to prove it here’s a little story, actually three little stories.
Story 1.
I’ve been married for just over three years, and I have a great husband, but not a great engagement ring – we’d skipped the process and went straight for the wedding, so I have a wedding band – anyway, I decided to “test” the rings that we have on a few friends so this is how it went.
Going to a social gathering with friends, I put my CZ enagement ring on with my wedding ring, weeellll – I had so much ooohs and aahs and all my friends telling my husband what a great ring he’d choosen for me!
He’s rolling his eyes, but in agreement with me, he’d let me tell them that it was part of a Sterling Silver CZ ring st that cost $38.00, imagine the shock on my friends faces when I eventually told them – needless to say however, a couple of them purchased a set too!
Story 2.
A lady I play golf with damaged her white gold and diamond ring set whilst playing golf! She purchased the same ring set I have and voila no one knows!! (maybe now they do).
Story 3.
I hosted a jewelry event about a month ago, a couple came in the husband lurking at the door, the wife asking about our jewelry, I pointed out the same ring set mentioned above and guess what – she was beside herself in shock when she heard the price – this is what she did, she called her husband over and told him that she wanted to buy the ring set for $500.00 yes $500.00 it wasn’t a typo, here’s the kicker, he wanted to know if they were going to get the cash out now or pay by check.
So, what ring set am I talking about simply this one, a great set at a great price, our best selling CZ ring set.
My suggestion, order a set for yourself and marvel at it’s beauty, remember if your not bowled over with it, we provide a 30 day guarantee!
Enjoy

Hello again,
Last night Tuesday 7th September saw a huge Fashion party held at the Lincoln Center, NY, with over 150 models participating. The models showed of some 171 new looks headed by super models Gisele Bundchen and Naomi Campbell. Of course the event also managed to draw out Hollywood and has set the scene for a very exciting Friday night of shopping.

Just FYI, FNO, otherwise known as Fashion Night Out, a global event featuring in many cities around the world from Brooklyn to Brazil is set for this Friday night 10th September between 6-11pm.
Some events in other countries such as London in the UK took place this evening (5 hours ahead of eastern time) – and by all accounts has been successful so far.
A great event where many of the stores are providing champagne and gifts for it’s shoppers.
Many of the stores will be selling FNO Collection merchandise with the profits going to the New York City AIDS Fund.

Phew the summer has just been rushing by – it’s been hot here in Maryland we’ve had some seriously “Melt Down” days.
I’ve seen more ladies in short shorts and beautiful little tops than in a long time, with gorgous vibrant jewelry pieces of course. I’m now on a semi-health kick myself, so that I too can look fab in my summer clothes! (there’s always next year!)
Anyway, we’ve been busy here at Jewelry To Adore, we have now secured a new line of jewelry which should be on our site starting next week.
We’ve also been making the site even better for shopping by joining up with Network Solutions to keep everyone safe whilst they shop.
So as we get ready to roll into the second half of August and my family and I decide where were going for a late summer break we encourage you to embrace the fresh outdoors (heat ‘n’ all) and look fab doing it too!
Add color to your look with Jewlery, this bracelet looks fab with summer outfits!
Hi, at the moment, were currently posting to our blog here:

Thanks for visiting.
As the 68th Cannes Film Festival enters it’s second week, Monday night saw the Swiss Jewelers Chopard celebrating it’s 150th Anniversary with an A List bash.
The event certainly had it’s share of Glam participants such as Paris Hilton, who was maxed out in fabulous baubles. The anniversary event also saw an appearance by actresses Meg Ryan, Kate Beckinsale, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Lindsay Lohan. Models Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova and Dree Hemingway. Lady Victoria Hervey and Princess of Venice and Piedmont Clotilde Courau and so many more.
When I last posted I talked about the fact that the price of pearls can vary, well, Christies (you know the fab. Auction House co.) held an auction for an 18 inch pearl necklace, consisting of a set of five strands of pearls, with three graduated strands of golden pearls alternating with two graduated strands of white pearls, finished off with a circular cut diamond openwork clasp in white gold. They exceeded the estimated $50,000-$70,000. The cost $92,500 (with buyers premium of course).
Wow, well they are beautiful and clearly an investment that will be a sheer pleasure to wear.
It’s good to know that the information we share is of benefit to others.
We at Jewelry To Adore believe that when making purchases an understanding of that item helps you to make the best choice for you, it would seem others have also found this to be true.

Snow
We are based in Maryland on the East Coast – so far we’ve had roughly 30 inches of snow. Sunday 7th Feb. we did a major “dig out”. Hooray, only to find out that we are expecting another 10 inches on Tuesday. So a message to our East coast readers – please be safe out there. To others in warmer climes – enjoy!
