Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, we don't like to admit that, but it's the truth, isn't it?

A friend once gave me the following piece of advice: when you go on vacation bring one piece of luggage for everything you're bringing, and then a whole 'nother bag for all the stuff you are going to be bringing back. While I may not buy stuff to that extreme when I'm on vacation, I do enjoy purchasing my share. May they be shirts, knickknacks, souvenirs, art, local music and, yes, even plants, there is one thing that I enjoy buying more than just about anything: women's jewelry. And I'm not talking about the standard, expensive stuff; I'm talking about the one-of-a-kind stuff you can only find on vacation.Here's the thing: I'm not really that into regular, everyday jewelry. Frankly, something like a diamond necklace or ear ring studs with big stones kind of bores me, to be honest. The kind of stuff I like is the stuff that has personality; the stuff that was hand made by someone who will never make another one quiet like it if she tried for three years. This is the kind of stuff that you find while you're on vacation. It's not the big shopping malls you find this stuff in, but the college districts, or the areas where all the people with the goatees and the lip rings hang out. Every city has one of these districts, you just typically have to go near the colleges to find them. Plus, since the jewelry is handmade by local's, every town has a different type of jewelry that they specialize in.For example, if you were to look for handmade jewelry in Tucson, Arizona, it would look a lot different than if you looked for it in Portland, Maine. This is not just because the materials are different, but also because the people are different. You put these different people in a room with the same materials and they would make a variety of different products. The key to finding good jewelry in each town you visit is to ask and look around. If you see someone with a great necklace that looks handmade, ask them where they got it. That's where you find the truly great places.Of course, if you aren't a traveler you can find great handmade jewelry online. In fact, entire shopping websites have sprung up that allow individuals to sell their homemade wears online. That way you can get something you really want without having to spend money on gas.

Another type of wedding jewelry that you can try to consider to purchase would be costume wedding jewelry. Costume wedding accessories like the latter type is also available in different varieties including costume necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. One of the best advantages of costume wedding accessories is that they are really affordable. Next in your array of choices is beaded wedding jewelry. These types of wedding jewelry are handcrafted and are often made with a single style. Beaded wedding jewelry pieces make use of different materials such as glass beads, crystals, and fresh water pearls.

Earring cards are easy to design and make - or to have made for you. And you can make them for just a few cents each - a good investment when you consider the impression they make.

Ancient beliefs state that turquoise has powers that protect those who wear it. This protection is believed to be in the form of physical and emotional harm. It has been said that turquoise stones are powerful all on their own. However, many believe that the powers of turquoise can be greatly increased when combined with copper.
