Jewelry

Why are some cultures such as Indians big on giving their babies/children gold jewelry?

My husband is Indian and his family made a point to send her gold jewelry. I even noticed this before they sent gold to our daughter. I have always thought it was beautiful but was just wondering if it is a cultural thing?

it is a cultural thing!!

I wear a silver heart locket everyday, and I had a butterfly ring I have worn everyday, but I lost it today. I really did almost cry, it meant a lot to me. Now my finger feels naked.

It’s a four leaf clover that’s been pressed, and is in between to slips of glass shaped like hearts. So pretty, it brings good luck.

Any jewelry would have to me handmade.
It would be an anti-greed law.
Passed to try to rid the country of greed, and keep people from being materialistic?
What if they stopped making fast cars to drive in the streets with expensive engines? Just cars that are good enough to get you from point A to B.?
What if we decided to stop glorifying fancy things?
What if we went through a period of change where everyone decided not to worship material possesions?
How do you think it would change the world?

Although materialistic worship is wrong, and I am strongly against it, our society depends on it. The economy wouldn’t make it through a period of change like that. We need the fancy things so there are places to waste money, and there are people who can occupy their lives making those fancy things. Cars good enough to get you from A to B? Sorry - what about all those people who’s lives are solely dependent on making their cars that much more fancy - like gold plate parts of the engine. Unfortunately the world depends on greed too.

Think Vivienne Westwood, except without the "omg, I won’t be able to eat for a week."

If they do, they’re more than likely not real. The only places licensed to sell Chanel jewellry is Chanel.

I’m from India but I’ve lived in America all my life. People in India have colorful weddings and the bride wears red and lots of gold jewelry usually and henna. People in the US wear white gowns and then have a reception.

I’m marrying a white guy and I’m Indian so what kind of wedding should I do? Can you think of ways to combine both our cultures?

I would like some suggestions on what to name my charity business. Here are the points about my business that are important in choosing the name:
–100% of profits from all sales will be donated to an eye hospital in south India
–jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets) will be made from semiprecious gemstone beads and silver and will be handcrafted by me.

Here are the ideas I have so far, but none of them satisfy me. I would like the name to be shorter and catchier. Let me know what you think of these or suggest others!
–Pretty Visions Jewelry
–Gift of Sight Jewelry

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name’s originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.

The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.

Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route…

I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.

I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what’s out there.

Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I’d try them out first.

There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I’m not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You’ll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I’m making a polyvore set. It’s going to be what I think Luna might have worn to Bill and Fleur’s wedding in the Deathly Hallows book. A bright sunflower yellow dress and shoes etc. But I haven’t found the right accessories or jewelry. Does anyone know of an online store that has cool Funky Jewelry that might work?

Thanks

I suggest going to Etsy.com. All their stuff is handmade by a bunch of different users. So whatever you choose, it will definitely be one of a kind.

bad management, little pay, no commissions, no computer training, not allowed to sell, etc. etc. etc.

My girlfriend worked at JBR and she hated it….there’s too many cut throats and BS involved…..get out while you can
