Gold jewelry has always been in demand and comes in a wide variety including 22k gold jewelry. The pieces can range from designer pendants, designer necklaces, designer bracelets, and other designer gold jewelry and custom gold jewelry. Due to its demand, there are now many retailers that offer cheap gold jewelry. When buying 22k gold jewelry, or any kind of gold jewelry for that matter, it can be difficult to tell if you will be getting your money’s worth. There are a few things that one must know before buying a piece.

 

K Is For Karat

 

Karat is the measurement of the gold’s purity, 24k or 24 karat being the purest form. But although this is the purest, this form of gold is malleable and is very soft and could be bent or scratched easily. 22k gold jewelry is made of 22 parts of gold and only 2 of other metals, the most common being silver and copper. Many kinds of designer gold jewelry are made of the same composition, 22k. It is important to note that the higher the karat of the gold jewelry, the higher the price is so if you are wanting to buy a piece of 22k gold jewelry, expect a relatively high price tag for it, especially if it’s custom gold jewelry.

 

Designing Gold

 

The design of a piece of 22k gold jewelry adds to its value. There are hand crafted 22k gold jewelry pieces that are intricately designed that would prove to have a heftier price tag than its fairly simple counterpart. Should the designer be well-known for creating gold jewelry, adds more value as in most cases the name of the designer would speak for the piece itself. And in fact, many designer pendants, designer necklaces, designer bracelets are just exactly that, designer as they have been designed and created by people who are considered to be artists in the field.

 

Quality vs. Quantity

 

The quality of any piece of 22k gold jewelry affects the price as well. Pieces of jewelry that are made and finished by hand would be a bit more expensive than those that are made by machine and are mass produced as there is more effort put into the creation of hand made jewelry. Pieces that are made entirely by hand by hand by a reputable designer would cost considerably more than other pieces.

 

Where To Buy

 

Nowadays, there are many online retailers that offer gold jewelry and even cheap gold jewelry. There are also still traditional stores that carry 22k gold jewelry. It is important to buy the pieces from reputable and trusted sources especially when buying online. A piece may be marked 22k gold but may not actually be made of 22k gold, so it is imperative that you only transact with dealers that are known to provide good quality products. An appraisal could also be done to validate the authenticity of the piece.

 

 

A piece of 22k jewelry can not only be given as a gift to a loved one, but it can also be a personal investment, and as such, there are things that need to be done in order to make sure that it will be worthy investment. Getting to know a few things beforehand could save you some problems down the road and possibly get you more than what you paid for in your 22k gold jewelry.

Not only your hairdo, dress, and makeup define your fashion. Your eyes also play a very important role in defining your style statement. Eye makeup and coloured lenses contribute to the effort.

Types of Coloured lenses

There are different types of coloured lenses available in the market. Different colours to match your costumes, mood, and occasion, are available. The lenses are not only for the people without any vision problems. If you have a vision problem, you can opt for the powered lenses. But always choose a powered lens as per the advice of your optician.

How to choose a matching coloured lens

Choosing  matching coloured lenses depends on various factors like the mood you want to represent, your costume, and the occasion. If you are going in for a formal event, it is good to choose a colour which suits your dress and doesn’t make your eyes stand out.

If you are going for a party choose some dazzling lenses. This will make you gorgeous and add that naughty sparkle to your eyes. But if you are going out casually with friends choose a regular black or brown lens.

Eye makeup when wearing coloured lenses

Eye makeup is an essential part when you wear a coloured lens. If you choose to get noticed soon, and especially your eyes, then apply an eye shadow which contrasts your eye lens colour. While if you want to display calm and soothing appearance choose a sparkling lens and some mild eye shadows.

Things to remember when buying coloured lenses

When you buy coloured lenses, make sure that it is FDA approved and from a trusted brand. Cheap quality lenses can harm your vision and eye permanently. Cleaning and storing processes of the coloured lenses must be based on the instructions of the optician.

It’s true, fashion advertising may sometimes make you more uncertain then help you find your look. So before looking at what fashion advertising proposes as the new trends, you should start by taking a very good look at your wardrobe, and making sure that you have the essentials. Here they are:

The Essential Male Fashion items

Dark Colour Suit and tie: Just like every woman should always have her little black dress, just the same a man should always have a formal suit, in black or dark grey colour. A white buttoned shirt and a truly amazing looking tie, are articles that you also can’t stay without. I promise these will save you lots of time in the future.

Black shoes and belt: Next comes a good pair of leather black shoes, that should probably last you a couple of years, and in addition to this, you need to get yourself a leather black belt. Don’t try mismatching the colour of your belt and shoes, because this will ruin your whole outfit. Just a small tip here; always wear black socks with your shoes, anything else will look tacky.
