Vogue To Africa Fashion Show - Update

Hello everyone. Sorry I have been away for quite some time now. I truly apologize. Anyhu, The Vogue To Africa Fashion Show turned out to be a wonderful experience for myself and Zoya's Jewels. The amount of love and favor I got was so overwhelming. I got to meet other young fashion designers like myself, it was just amazing all round.

I wish I had clearer pictures to put up, but for now you just have to manage the ones my friend was able to take with my camera, ((I have a terrible camera. LOL)), until I get the event pictures from the organizers.

Thank you all for your Love and Support. :)

 

 

Would put up more pictures once I get them from the organizers. Abeg manage this one like this. LOL

Statement Jewelry - Necklaces

Already we have a feature on Bangles as statement jewelry, if you missed it read it HERE. Today lets talk necklaces. 90% of the time, when the topic of statement jewelry comes up, people think necklaces. Yeah, I totally agree with that, because necklaces are a hard feature of an outfit to miss.

Some people prefer to wear statement necklaces while keeping the earrings simple. Well my opinion is "To each her own". As long as you look fabulous in them, the jewelry police wouldn't arrest you.

Here are a few necklaces I found and love. You can shop the first two pieces at SHOP

love,

Statement Jewelry - Bracelets and Bangles

Bling Bling Bang Bang!!!! That's one way of defining statement jewelry. Its big, bold and in your face.  Statement jewelry doesn't fall under any season, it can be worn at any time of the year. But how do you wear it without feeling overwhelmed by it? When it comes to fashion let the fashion work with you and fit your style.

Some fashion theories suggests you wear only one statement jewelry at a time - maybe a chunky necklace and go soft with the earrings; some other theories beg to defer. Well, my two cents on that is "To each her own". Just make sure the style is right for the event. You don't want to attend a black tie event looking like you're towing your jewelry box with you. Lol!

A new trend with bracelets and bangles is mix and match, you can't go wrong with it.

Here is how I do some of my bracelets and bangles.

 Chunky bracelet - Forever21. Charm Bracelet - I stole took *coughs* from a friend

 Bangles - Liz Claiborne

Cuff bangles - Liz Claiborne

A new online store I found for jewelry is Jewel Mint. They have really amazing jewelry collections.

Can't wait to stock up on some jewelry :)

Sssshhh....IT'S A SECRET

Please under no circumstance should you tell anyone that I told you this.

Okay so this is top secret, a lot of people wouldn't let you in on this, but since I like to share *coughs*, I would spill the beans.

Do you know that you can get great jewelry bargains at Jewelry Exhibitions and Fairs? Yes, you can! In fact, those are one of the best places to go scouting for unique jewelry pieces. I remember my first jewelry exhibition experience. It was how I spent my birthday last year. I and my bestie went to one since I was in her town and I had being dying to attend one.

My favorite exhibition show would be Intergems. They have exhibitions all year around and all over the US.

To find exhibitions taking place from now till the end of the year, visit BizTradeShows. Make out time and attend one nearest to you. You are going to love it. :) Thank me later.

Father's Day - Fashion Day

So what are we getting our dad's for father's day? Ditch the usual tool gift ideas and get him some cool stuff.

- writswatches
- cufflinks
- neck tie pins
- etc

 

There are so many ideas out there. To make them even more unique, personalize them; write a heart touching message on a piece of jewelry. He would never forget it.

Thank me later..;)

Jewelry Care 101

I bet a lot of ladies have jewelry collections that look like this

  And it would be so unfortunate if your favorite piece of jewelry gets entangled in there. 

Well, not to fret, Zoya’s Jewels is going to show you how to organize your jewelry in 1, 2, 3. That easy!

One – Storage: Get a jewelry organizer, box or a display kit. Jewelry boxes and displays are very easy to get and can be customized. For DIY lovers like me, you can easily make up one for yourself.

Two – Organize: Never, Ever put different jewelries together. Have your pieces arranged and placed separately. All earrings should be placed together; the same assortment should be given to your neck, hand, finger, waist and ankle pieces. This way, you can easily spot your jewelry pieces.

Three – Stay Fabulous.

More info on Jewelry Care coming soon, and maybe with a video *fingers crossed*

Something for the guys...;)

So we decided to show some appreciation to the guys, by sharing some amazing jewelry pieces we found.

A jewelry trend for the men is dark jewelry - tungsten jewelry. Tungsten is a hard metal and has the same density with gold and platinum, a reason why its used in jewelry - rings, bracelets, etc.

A JOB WELL DONE - Consultation

Zoya's Jewels offer consultations, to know more about our consultations read it HERE

See another consultation I did for a client. The story is she got engaged and she wants her wedding band to be similar to the engagement ring. See pictures below. Close enough right? :)

These are two-tone bands (white and yellow gold). Very simple and fresh.

For consultations send an email to amaka_z@yahoo.com. Thank you
