			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What exactly is the history of toe rings? Almost everyone in the spring and summer months look forward to sporting a new pedicure and a flashy pair of sandals. Add in a toe ring to the ensemble and you end up with a fabulous and fun look. How and why did this trend get started and where did the history of toe rings have its beginnings? Believe it or not there is history stating that toe rings are used as marital symbolism in some cultures and have been for a long time. There are many designs and styles available for you to choose from today than there where back then. Toe rings are a part of every women or girls summer attire, in different colors, styles and ornamental designs. The history of toe rings got their start in India. Where the act of wearing toe rings is still highly practiced today. Women who are Hindu wear the toe rings as a marriage symbolism. Mostly made from silver and traditionally worn on either or both feet’s 2nd toe.</p>
<div id="attachment_103" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://www.bestfootjewelry.com/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-103" title="Silver Toe Rings" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/silver-toe-rings.jpg" alt="Silver Toe Rings" width="450" height="280" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Silver Toe Rings</p></div>
<p>Within the history of toe rings some are designed intricately and some have more modern and contemporary styling for new brides to choose from within India. Most toe rings are not allowed to be crafted out of gold as in Hindu religion it is quite the status of respect and can only be worn above waists. Sometimes this rule does get broken and then you may see bride’s wearing <a href="http://www.jewelryadviser.com/category_313.html" target="_blank">diamond and gold toe rings</a> in sets.</p>
<p>In the start in the history of toe rings, a ring which was large could be worn on the left foots 2nd toe; this was an indication of the wearer’s marital status. Men’s often would wear there sets or toe rings on their biggest toe for purposes of comfort and masculinity. These were crafted mainly in hoops which were open for removal with ease.</p>
<p>Thanks to the earlier history of toe rings, today we have countless designs and colors to expand our options. They are crafted in gold, silver, platinum, beads or even elasticized bands.</p>
<p><span id="more-101"></span>Toe rings accentuate the best pedicures and the cutest shoes and add a fun and flirty vibe to you and your feet, which will keep everyone on the beach smiling.</p>
<p>Some designs in toe rings include semi-precious or precious gemstones, rare stones and other fascinating materials man made or natural as well. The lovely Celtic band toe ring is unique and trendy. The band interlaces with Celtic designs woven all the way around it and is crafted in sterling silver. There is also the Celtic Claddagh silver toe ring which has its own place within earlier history of toe rings and other Celtic jewelry.</p>
<div id="attachment_102" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-102" title="White Gold Toe Ring" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/white-gold-toe-ring.jpg" alt="White Gold Toe Ring" width="450" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">White Gold Toe Ring</p></div>
<p>For more of a summer or beach feel to your feet, try one of the many designs just for those days of sun and fun. The cute gold sea turtle is a real gem; it looks like the real thing only much smaller and has a tiny ruby or emerald as the turtle’s eyes. The silver dolphin is another very popular beach side toe ring and is polished to give it a shimmering finish. There are even pink flamingos for the fancier feet on the beach. These are designed out of either elasticized bands or silver and are brightly colored and painted.</p>
<div id="attachment_104" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-104" title="Sea Life Toe Rings" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/sea-life-toe-rings.jpg" alt="Sea Life Toe Rings" width="450" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sea Life Toe Rings</p></div>
<p>For a classier toe ring the 14 karat gold toe ring with diamond solitaire is the perfect match. These tend to be a little pricier than others, but well worth the extra cost once you see it shining on your fancy and classical feet. It adds class to even a cheap pair of flip flops.</p>
<p>So, now you know how the history of toe rings came about and what they were first worn to symbolize. Some people still use them as engagement rings to this day in beach locations.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to gems, topaz may be one of the most popular. Topaz jewelry is very elegant, trendy and for those who believe, topaz <a href="http://www.morningjewelry.com/" target="_blank">jewelry</a> holds mystical powers that have been used for centuries. This sparkling gem stone that stands for the month of november has quite a history.</p>
<div id="attachment_80" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-80" title="Blue Topaz Ring" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/blue-topaz-ring.jpg" alt="Blue Topaz Ring" width="450" height="440" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Blue Topaz Ring</p></div>
<p>November&#8217;s birthstone, the topaz is a very interesting gem. Those with <a href="http://www.jewelryadviser.com/category_582.html" target="_blank">topaz jewelry</a> will find themselves with a piece that varies from a light and shiny aqua blue to a dark and dreamy turquoise blue that is known as London Blue. In many cases, the London Blue that is seen is created from Topaz that is treated with intense heat to cause a deeper color change. To have the gem appear to be a dark blue in nature is very rare and certainly would make the gem very valuable.</p>
<div id="attachment_77" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-77" title="Blue Topaz Dangle Earrings" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/blue-topaz-dangle-earrings.jpg" alt="Blue Topaz Dangle Earrings" width="450" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Blue Topaz Dangle Earrings</p></div>
<p>The gem is clear and its natural color actually ranges from a clear color, like that of a diamond to a pink, red, yellow and then the blue that we all know. The name actually means fire, perhaps those who named this gem were looking at the red variation? In that respect, it may have resembled a ruby. However, now-a-days, the topaz that is used for <a href="http://www.jewelrywishes.com/" target="_blank">jewelry</a> will be the beautiful blue that we all associate with this special gem.</p>
<p><span id="more-76"></span>Topaz jewelry is very popular for several reasons. One main reason is that it is very strong. It is also affordable. Topaz is easy to take care of; most of the jewelry is cleaned and taken care of with a simple gem stone cleaner that keeps it sparkling. The topaz jewelry that is popular today will be blue in color. This version may have been treated to produce the blue color; it is very difficult to know if a gem has been changed from its natural color. It is quite legal and accepted for these gems to be turned blue and that is one of the reasons that blue topaz jewelry is so popular and available.</p>
<div id="attachment_78" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-78" title="Blue Topaz Large Ring" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/blue-topaz-large-ring.jpg" alt="Blue Topaz Large Ring" width="450" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Blue Topaz Large Ring</p></div>
<p>Topaz has long been used in the jewelry of ancient civilizations. Beginning with the Romans and the Greeks, topaz jewelry was very valued. This gem was mined in medieval times; although the topaz that was sought after was a maroon-yellow color. The rulers of the time would have topaz put in their crowns and was always considered to be a rare gem until the middle of the nineteenth century. It was at that time that very large deposits of this gem were discovered in Brazil. Once this happened, it allowed it to be popular and enjoyed by many. It is now found in Brazil, Australia, Burma, Nigeria and Mexico.</p>
<div id="attachment_79" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-79" title="Blue Topaz Necklace" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/blue-topaz-necklace.jpg" alt="Blue Topaz Necklace" width="450" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Blue Topaz Necklace</p></div>
<p>Topaz is considered to be very sacred in the Hindu religion, it is one of the scared stones of the Kalpa Tree and believed to ail those who thirst, give a heightened sense of intelligence and allow a person to live a longer life. In the country of Africa, the gem is used by the bushmen for aid in journeys and for healing. Long ago, topaz jewelry was believed to give the wearer an attraction to wealth and also aided in those who worked in the arts. It is said to give creative powers and helps people with concentrating. It was also thought to help wearers sleep well and to be of use when someone had an addiction to lustful sins. Now, we all know topaz jewelry to be simply beautiful and fun to wear.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everybody wants to give their kids the best. And what better gift can you give to your child than the gift of love.

The main purpose of this gift is to bring good luck and fortune to your child and protect him or her from bad luck. But more than these charms it is the love which you shower upon your children that works as the charm.</p>
<div id="attachment_84" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-84" title="Gold Lucky Charm" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/gold-lucky-charm.jpg" alt="Gold Lucky Charm" width="450" height="470" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Gold Lucky Charm</p></div>

Rings are not very popular with kids as they want their fingers free for licking chocolate. Pendants are also good options.
