Our Website Seems To Be A Secret

06.23.08

We don’t call this our secret garden for nothing!  Our website, which was number 3 on a designer inspired jewelry search as of three days ago, has disappeared into never-never search-engine land.  Why?  Who knows.

 What we do know is that our jewelry is still the best selection for uniqueness and quality and  for the best price.  Check us out at Quanta Bella Jewelry and you will be amazed.

 Hopefully, it won’t be long until the mysterious goings on of the search engine robots will put us back where we belong - at the top of Designer Inspired Jewelry!

Do You Love to Shop At Shows?

02.25.08

If you want to shop ’til you drop, get lots of bargains and have a great time, then you need to go to First Monday Trade Days in Canton Texas.  Here is a little of the history we got from http://www.firstmondaycanton.com (lots of other information on this site - check it out).

“One weekend every month, a peaceful, friendly East Texas town (population 5,100) turns into THE biggest open-air trade days in the world.It all began in the 1850s when the District Judge stopped in Canton on the first Monday of every month to hold court sessions, many brought goods, produce, and livestock with them to buy, sell or trade. By 1965, First Monday had outgrown the downtown square and was moved to six acres just two blocks north of the courthouse. What started by chance more than a century ago in an event you must experience to believe! Now, First Monday Trade Days hosts up to 7,000 vendors and as many as 300,000 visitors.First Monday Trade Days takes place Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of every month”.

Shop with Quanta Bella Jewelry at the next Trade Days Market.

February 28 through March 2, 2008, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. each day

Some FYI About Sterling Silver Jewelry

02.14.08

What is sterling silver?  Sterling silver is 92.5 percent of silver and 7.5 percent of an alloy which is primarily copper. Pure silver is extremely malleable and can easily be damaged.  It can also soften over time.  By adding other metals to the sterling silver, you increase the life-span and reduce the risk of scratching and damaging.  Sterling silver is a blend of just the right material properties which allows it to be crafted into intricate designs and shapes. Sterling silver can also be gold plated or plated with rhodium to make it look like platinum, which gives it the appearance of a very expensive metal at the more reasonable price of silver.

How To Care For Your Costume and Fashion Jewelry

02.12.08

You’ve just bought a fabulous piece of costume jewelry or fashion jewelry and you can’t help but wonder how long will it be before it begins to look dull and the CZs loose their sparkle.  Here are a few tips that will keep your costume jewelry looking great (and real).  One of the most important things to remember is DO NOT USE JEWELRY CLEANER.  Most modern day costume, fashion and sterling silver jewelry has a rhodium overlay which keeps it maintenance free.  Jewelry cleaner destroys that overlay and your once gorgeous jewelry becomes dull and tarnished looking.

Remove your jewelry when:

  • Cleaning the house or using harsh chemicals 
  • Putting on lotion, perfume, hairspray, shaving cream and other beauty products
  • Doing laundry
  • Swimming in the pool
  • Bathing

To clean your costume/fashion jewelry:

  • Use warm water and mild soap (we prefer Ivory liquid)
  • Rinse
  • Polish with a soft cloth
  • Dry your jewelry before storage.  All jewelry can tarnish if not dried properly and water can leave residual water stains
  • Store jewelry carefully to avoid scratching
  • Do not steam clean

From Your Valentine

01.30.08

Have you every wondered just where this phrase came from?  According to Answers.com, the legend began when a third-century priest named Valentine continued performing marriage ceremonies even though the Roman emperor Claudius II had banned marriage because he was certain that single men were better soldiers.  Eventually, Valentine was thrown in jail and he formed a relationship with his jailor’s daughter.  Prior to his execution on, you guessed it, February 14th, he signed his last message to his beloved “From your Valentine,” a phrase that is still used on Valentine gifts and cards today.

What Is Designer Inspired Jewelry?

01.17.08

Designer Inspired Jewelry, AKA Knockoff Jewelry, Replica Jewelry and Imitation Jewelry is a great alternative to the real thing for many reasons.  Primarily, it is through designer inspired jewelry that many people, who cannot afford the original designer´s work,  are able to enjoy the same style and look of the designer’s originals.  There have always been and always will be trends and movements that inspire the look of jewelry because it is human nature to search for a new and different style.  This can get pretty expensive and unaffordable for the average consumer.  Designer Inspired Jewelry provides the opportunity to look like a million without spending a fortune.
