Pandora Jewelry: Ancient Techniques, Modern Beauty Charms Bracelets

When Reinstein Ross Pandora Jewelry first reached out to me about a potential blog feature, I was in Italy. I read the name out loud, thinking it sounded familiar but struggling to picture their designs in my jet lagged state.

The jewelry designer friend I was with immediately burst out, “Reinstein Ross? Yes! Gorgeous, somewhat Etruscan-inspired,

handmade gold pandora jewelry. They’re great.”

When I visited the Carelle offices, I was greeted like royalty and then immediately absorbed as part of the family. I sat down with Chana, her son, and several of Carelle’s other employees and we spent hours looking at jewelry and talking about anything and everything.

I actually had to send over interview questions after I’d returned home, because we were having so much fun chatting about our lives and families that that I forgot to ask about the pandora brand’s inspiration and history while

I was actually on site.One of the coolest parts of my visit to the Carelle offices was that I actually got to visit the workshop where

Carelle’s pieces are manufactured as well…because it’s directly across the hallway from the brand’s lovely, fuchsia-accented offices.

Two seconds of recon proved her right: I loved everything I saw online and I knew I needed to share Reinstein|

Ross’s designs with you posthaste.

Every piece of Reinstein|Ross jewelry starts out as an ingot of pure, 24K gold. The gold is melted, alloyed, and

then shaped into its destiny right there there in the workshop. Their designs celebrate the lusciousness of

high-karat gold and often feature sapphires of spectacular color and diamonds pandora jewelry.

The most I learn about the jewelry industry, the more important it seems to me to recognize the people and the

principles behind a brand’s pretty pieces. Today, we’re going to talk about what makes Carelle special before

we even take a look at any of their pandora bracelets designs.

Carelle was founded in 1977 by the fabulous, charismatic, and talented Chana Regev. Chana’s decision to launch

Carelle was a continuation of the family business – she’s a fourth generation jeweler – but with a different

focus. Chana’s line would be her own designs, created by a woman, for women to enjoy.

Because they alloy their own gold, Reinstein|Ross is able to carefully coax the precious metal into five custom

shades of color: 22k Apricot Gold, 20k Peach Gold, 18K Chartreuse Gold, 18k White Gold, and 22k Yellow Gold. They

frequently use the traditional techniques of cloisonne and granulation, inspired by Pandora Charms Etruscan, Byzantine, and

Roman jewelry.

Pandora Contemporary Engagement Rings Jewelry

Jewelry blogs are an excellent resource for those of us that want to stay up to date with the latest pandora jewelry

trends but don't have the time to sift through various news channels and websites. Quality jewelry bloggers do

all the legwork for us and offer us daily updates whether through their blog or social media accounts.

I have some very specific credentials when it comes to ranking high on my list of great jewelry blogs:

Has to have beautiful pandora jewelry pictures
Has to be updated on a regular basis
Blogger has to be very knowledgeable but also approachable and entertaining
Must have an appealing and updated interface to make browsing via iPad, PC, or mobile enjoyable

In its sixth year, Gem Gossip has quickly become the industry's most popular jewelry blog.   The blog makes fine

jewelry very approachable with series like "Jewels at my Doorstep,"  which combines fabulous jewelry with nature

and Danielle, the beauty and brains behind Gem Gossip.

The Trellis round diamond engagement ring, by Megan Thorne. A great example of what contemporary engagement

rings. have to offer. This is the Trellis ring by Megan Thorne. I think it’s fantastic: it reminds me of bridges

and skyscrapers.

I love how it involves all the traditional elements of an engagement ring but uses them in such a unique way,

with the wide, openwork band and bezel-set center stone that’s the same width as the ring shank. It occupies

space on the finger in an unusual way, while still feeling very engagement ring-like.

Jennie Kwon Oak Cluster diamond engagement ring with rose cut diamonds.One of the things I hear the most

frequently from women looking for engagement rings is that they want something easy-to-wear that won’t interfere

with their daily activities: namely, they want a low-profile ring (that sits low on the finger) that won’t get

caught on things as they go about their busy lives.

This Jennie Kwon ring is proof that a ring can be low-profile and high style. It looks like it’s about as

comfortable and easy as a ring can be, while still bringing plenty of style.

While reading the blog, you feel as though you get to know Danielle.  Her passion is sincere and inspiring. Gem

Gossip loves to highlight up-and-coming pandora charms designers with the "Designer Spotlight" as well as

highlight impeccably curated antique jewelry.  Gem Gossip also posts regularly to their Instagram, which makes

finding new jewelry designers and antique jewelry dealers effortless.

I was browsing the Greenwich St. Jewelers website the other day to see what was new (they’re always a great

place to find interesting but wearable modern pieces) and I found myself captivated by the bridal section. There

’s some really exciting things happening in contemporary engagement rings right now, and I haven’t been doing

the category justice here on pandora charms diamonds in the Library in recent months.

Bridal is becoming a more and more open-minded field of design, with a wide range of styles that guarantee that

anyone on the quest for a contemporary engagement ring will be able to find one that feels just right. I think

that’s just wonderful and these great new designs deserve our attention.

Here’s a baker’s dozen of the coolest contemporary engagement rings I encountered in my recent browsing:

A beautiful rose gold engagement ring from Sylvie Collection, with a lovely oval center stone.I love this setting

from Sylvie Collection because it embodies so many of the recent important engagement ring trends in a beautiful,

wearable way.

With warm rose gold, a simple halo, and an elegant oval diamond – this ring is rocking the “I’m on trend now,

but I’ll still look good in 30 years” approach. Bonus: how cool are those thorn-like prongs?
