Earrings are the most flattering of jewellery styles. Sparkling gems and precious metals brighten the face and dangling earrings visually elongate the neck. Even the most basic gold hoops or diamond studs dress up a casual outfit and create a smart, pulled together look.

Sometimes deciding what to give to that special woman in your life can be difficult. If you've been together for a good many years, then there's a good chance that you've bought just about everything you can think of.

Today like no other time in history the choices in metals that can be used to make jewelry especially engagement rings and wedding rings is almost over whelming. A metal that may be new to many people is platinum, however it does have a rich history with its use in decorative pieces dating back to the 7th century and ancient Egypt.

You can make a ton of money with hand crafted jewelery if you have the skills.
