You look at a woman’s face and what do you notice? What you notice first is that the face is either pretty or just so-so. You notice how perfectly balanced all the features are; or observe how some parts are disproportionate to others. You notice how perfectly blended her make-up is; but you might also notice that she is not wearing earrings. That is how important jewelry completes the look of a woman.

Let her wear a pair of sterling silver drop earrings and that is probably what people will notice first. Not her flawlessly blended makeup or her perfectly arched eyebrows. They will get to that sooner or later, but not after complementing her on the interesting piece on her ears. Jewelry does that to women. That is why they just can’t resist browsing through jewelry displays and mentally calculating if she can afford to buy one at this time.

I’m a sterling silver aficionado. It started when I was still a sophomore. May aunt gave me a set of handcrafted sterling silver rings with bracelet and necklace. Since then I became a fan of sterling silver jewelry. My fondness for this type of jewelry prompted me to learn more about it. It makes me feel good that I’m knowledgeable with what I’m wearing in case somebody inquired.

Jewelry, flatware or accessories that are made from sterling silver are made of 92.5% by weight of silver while the other 7.5% by weight are of other materials like bronze. I found out that using 100% silver in flatware or jewelry is not feasible as the end product will be so soft and not feasible to function. I also read that during early 17th century to late 18th century flatware made from sterling silver is a trend in the society. Silverwares so to speak has become associated with proper dining etiquette. Thus, it is no wonder why silverwares were usually part of family heirlooms.

My mother in law gave me a rosary on my first year in joining their family. It was a classic piece that she got from her last visit to the Vatican. It was special to me because I saw the sincere welcome in her gesture. To reciprocate her thoughtfulness I gave her a birthday birthstone rosary for her 60th birthday. It may not be as grand as the one she got me but I made sure I picked the one that will please her. I was so glad she liked it.

I may never as religious as her but somehow she was instrumental in my renewed spirituality. My faith used to be in a limbo. When she openly welcomed me with that simple gift I started to reassess my spirituality. The next thing I knew is I wouldn’t want to miss the Sunday mass. I went to church again and I know that one day I’ll religiously read the Bible just like her.

I was mindlessly wondering around a jewelry store the other day when I noticed an unusually attractive pendant. The saleslady told me it was a tigers eye pendant. The tiger’s eye was not a real tiger’s eye but actually a gemstone. It is a rock that has changed in color over time. A typical tiger’s eye stone is colored yellow and brown.

A tiger’s eye pendant goes well with silver jewelry. A tiger’s eye gem also has that polished look giving it that a glossy shine. It is the type of stone that is often made into an innovative and contemporary jewelry. Jewelry pieces that feature a tiger’s eye are usually worn with casual clothes, not the type you wear for red carpet events. It has its own charm and will always be in fashion among admirers of nontraditional jewelry pieces.
