Nervous System: Unique Jewellery Design
Probably any woman at least once in her life wanted to own a piece of jewellery which would be absolutely unique and created specially for her with all her individual qualities taken into account. You think it is too complicated and expensive? No! Designers Jessica Rosenberg and Jess Louis-Rosenkranz have developed an original mathematic method to create jewellery. The method is called Nervous System and allows creating experimental jewellery, combining non-traditional materials like silicone rubber and stainless steel with rapid prototyping methods.
The mechanism of creation a unique jewellery piece is quite simple: you have to undergo a kind of test which will show in the result the type of pattern that will suit you ideally. Further you can use the pattern to create your individually designed pendants, brooches, bracelets, earrings , etc. The prototype of the adornment can be made of silicon, stainless steel or gold.
There are several algorithms for creating jewellery patterns: Dendrite — creating coral-like motif, Radiolaria — designing net-like patterns. Two more algorithms under development are Algae and Lamina.
Choosing bracelets: tips for gorgeous women
We have already spoken about the important role of a bracelet in our everyday image. Now let us continue with a set of tips, telling you how to choose bracelets for special occasions.
For important events and especially for special evenings women are advised to choose a bracelet, made of platinum or of white gold and decorated with large gem inclusions. Such tennis bracelets has become the classics of our days. Different bracelets became fashionable, and other lost their popularity through the years. Tennis bracelets were popular among movie stars of 1950-s and among university girls as well, and today they are returning to their forgotten fame. A classic bracelet, no matter, whether it has big or small links, can be attached a charm to. Which one? This depends fully on the choice of a customer. However, in this case your bracelet will not only make you charming, but also will give you some magical powers — if you believe it, of course.
Pendants on the bracelet can correspond to the style of the bracelet itself with absolute harmony. If you attach a charm to your bracelet, than the links of it will become visually smaller. During the years an owner of a bracelet can with the help of the pendants create a unique, individual piece of jewelry, that will reflect the hallmarks of the owner’s life. There is a huge amount of different pendants available, usually they differ in form and symbolic meaning, and sometimes they are made inscriptions on, indicating some important milestones of an owner’s life. Any bracelet can be made prettier with the help pf different pendants. If this is your aim, we will advice you to choose a bracelet with big links, for them to be able to cope with the weight of all the charms you choose.
Your style and your bracelets.
Do not limit your fantasy and style with bracelets of only one type. Different bracelet designs pass to different situations and different clothes types. Styles and designs of bracelets strike with their variety. Look into your wardrobe: which blouse or which dress do you usually wear during the day time? If it is something elegant and fragile, choose an appropriate bracelet. For example, let’s suppose, you love blouses with frills. Than think of a lacy bracelet or of an item of Victorian design. Are you dresses more elegant? Than choose golden bracelets or bracelets with diamonds. Of course, colour is also of great importance. You can also consider crowned gems or a chain of gems, set into white or yellow gold.
One should remember several basic rules, needed for choosing a bracelet. If your wrist is very thin, you should better wear a thin bracelet or a hemstitch bracelet, as they will make your hand look lighter and brighter. For middle-sized wrists many kinds of bracelets can be chosen. If your wrists are wide, choose a large bracelet, big enough to grasp the attention even on a wide wrist. However, there are several bracelet styles, that will pass any woman with any wrist.
One of such types is called tennis bracelet. It got this name because of the famous tennis player Chris Evert. This is a simple, but very elegant bracelet, that can also have mounted round diamonds in cogged or fillet setting. A tennis bracelet is an item , that woman can wear every day, like a wedding ring. The value of such a bracelet depends on the size and number of stones in it. If you need a bracelet for special occasions, but you love tennis bracelets style, choose a bracelet made of yellow gold with several small diamonds.
The jewelry of the red carpet. Part II.
In case you wish to read the first part of our story – it is here.
Ann Hathaway, wearing an amazing pearl-coloured dress, preferred quite unshowy jewelry – a simple bracelet and a couple of diamond rings. Anyway, the main attraction of her dress was an elegant brooch, that had the form of a lock and was attached to the back of the dress, as if locking it. The actress did not tell the reporters, whether the dress was a part of the dress or was added afterwards. In any case, the idea seems to be quite poignant.
Traditionally the most popular jewelry brand among the Oscar nominates is Chopard. This year was not an exception, and the creations of this company decorated many of the actresses, including Penelope Cruise and Kate Winslet. Penelope Cruise, wearing a vintage white dress, had chosen an ornamental diamond bracelet (something of this kind was decorating the wrists of Jessica Bill). A classical diamond bracelet and a pair of earrings were also the choice of Kate Winslet.
Some men also could not dispense without jewelry. For example, Mickey Rourke had a pendant with the picture of his favourite dog on. Despite its symbolic meaning, the amulet did not help Mickey to win the Oscar award. Speaking about Beyonce, she was one of several celebrities, that simply lacked jewelry during this ceremony. Having worn two yellow-diamond rings by Lorraine Schwartz, Beyonce decided to economize on the necklace and earrings – though to our taste these items would have make the outlook of the star more apt to the ceremony.
The jewelry of the red carpet. Part I
Oscar Award ceremony is an event, that features not only the most luxurious dresses, but also the most beautiful, striking and expensive jewelry. The jewelry items, that are warn by the celebrities to the “Oscar†award ceremony, are called Hollywood fantasy. Average viewers that watch the ceremony in front of their TV-screens, would never afford jewelry like that, but the view of the sparkling gems is a real esthetic delight for all of us. Let us see now, which jewelry items were chosen for the Oscar-2009 ceremony.
One of the most beautiful creations decorated the neck of Amy Adams, the Oscar-nominated actress. A massive necklace by Fred Leighton, that resembled a precious item from the luxurious palace of a Persian sheikh, contrasted beautifully with the red dress of the actress. The set, chosen by Angelina Jolie also attracted the viewers by its size and colour. The star preferred big earrings and a ring made up of clear emeralds. It seemed, as if the actress had borrowed the items from a museum - the gems were so big, that it was hardly possible to believe, they were natural.
One of the most “decorated†actresses of the ceremony appeared to be the German star Heidi Klum. The ears of the celebrity were decorated with huge long earrings, that hanged down to her neck. The earrings had a form of a flower bouquet and were made from white gold, corals and diamonds, but this was not the most expensive part of Klum’s attain. If it was possible to sell one of the star’s wrists, it would have cost millions of dollars – due to four massive bracelets, covered with diamonds and corals, to pass the earrings. The fingers of the actress were decorated with two huge rings.
