Nose speaks for the face. If Mother Nature has carefully shaped it, then everything else is put in place. A well-chiseled nose adds beauty to a woman's face. A tiny nose stud makes it more beautiful.
Any beautiful nose is bound to inspire. Was not Blaise Pascal right when he said : "If the nose of Cleopatra had been a little shorter the whole face of the world would have been changed"? And the beautiful nose enhanced by the nose ring or stud is bound to fascinate anyone blessed with eyes. This nose ring or stud is a new addition to bridal attire. And in today's fashionable world not many women opt to pierce their nose. But since they have to wear it on their wedding day they prefer to use the press type of nose ring. In wearing it, the design and position very much matter, if the bride wants her bridegroom go crazy over her beauty. Women of Tamilnadu rarely wear nose ring. Nose stud is their favourite and some like to wear on both the wings of their nose.
This nose stud is commonly known as `mookkutthi', meaning `that which pierces the nose'. `Natthu' ( `nath' in the North) is the word given to the nose ring and `Pullakku' (`bulaag' in the North) is the pendant suspended from the partition of the nostrils. The bride from Maharashtra wears it on the left wing of her nose while her counterpart in Gujarat wears it on the right.
In many parts of India it is a part of women's jewelry. A Konkani bride may wear a tiny nose ring adorned with fish or bird fashioned in gold. A Rajasthani bride may wear a small gold or silver nose ring studded with precious stones. The Uttar Pradeshi bride would like to adorn herself with two pearls and a pendulous head.
The Punjabi likes to put on a nose ring made of gold strung with many motifs. And this is how the Indian women adorn their nose on the wedding day. Unfortunately the ornaments that adorn the Indian women are not of Indian origin. Sangam Tamil literature remains silent to such ornaments. So is ancient Sanskrit literature.
Ancient Indian art never depicted a female form with the nose ornaments. Then the custom of wearing nose ornaments should have come with the invaders. This custom of wearing nose ornaments was quite popular among the Middle East residents. Historians opine that it was introduced to India by the Muslim invaders and that was in the 11th century.
It is strongly believed that the nose ornaments have their own scientific advantages. By piercing the nose to wear these ornaments the women protect themselves from all nasal infections. It also helps her to have a stronger sense of smell. Call it acupuncture treatment. The nose ornament began to attract the Indian women and by the 17th century it gained popularity all over India.
Painters and sculptors while they depicted Indian women and goddesses adorned them with nose ornaments. Poets went on their viewless wings of poesy and sang in praise of their beloved's nose and the ornaments that glorified their beauty. And today the nose ornament has become an essential part of the bridal attire and is a symbol of marital status.

It looks a bit horrified,somewhat strange animals’ skeleton.But it’s really cool when wearing on the models’ ears,hanging like earphones,the models seemed to enjoy them very much.In fact,this conceptual earring attracted others on the Jil Sander spring and summer show of 2009. Karl Lagerfeld has also promoted such kind of earrings,however, Alexander Wang’s earrings obtained majority of the market share—quiet publishment but admirable after its debut.Girls who don’t have ear holes can also wear freely as it’s hanged on the ears.But we should see how the models wear, only one is enough.If both worn on the ears,you will look a bit stubborn. Moreover, one is indeed enough as a silver accessory with an approximate price of 7500RMB.

How to afford a special engagement ring
When Time Is Not An Issue
When you have enough time to save money for the ring, it is a good idea to do so. That way you’ll save a lot of money on interests due to financing. Making necessary adjustments to your budget will help you put a fixed amount apart every month to build up the sum you’ll need to purchase that special engagement ring.
It’s just better to put some money aside every month than waiting to see if there is money left at the end of the month.The prices of engagement rings varied. You can obtain an engagement ring for a price that ranges from a couple of hundreds to several thousands dollars.
There are of course engagement rings worth a lot more than that but this article is not intended for such eccentricities. According to the price of the ring you’ll need to calculate the time you’ll need to save the money and thus, the amount you’ll have to put aside every month.
When Time Is An Issue
When time is an issue you have no other choice but to resort to financing. There are many different financial products that you can obtain in order to pay for an engagement ring. For instance, if you own a credit card, then, your problem is half solved as you only need to purchase your engagement ring with your card and pay as much as you can of the balance every month to finally pay it off. However, whether the ring is expensive or you don’t have enough credit left on your card you may want to try other alternatives.
Unsecured personal loans are an excellent choice, they provide higher amounts that can easily reach ten thousands dollars and they also provide flexible repayment schedules that can last up to five years or even longer. Yet, your choice for an engagement ring may be a bit more expensive.
In that case, resorting to a secured loan might be a good idea. Truth is that even for lower price rings (five thousands and up) loans based on equity can provide more advantageous terms like lower rates and longer repayment programs so you won’t have to worry about repayment.It is a good idea to combine some savings with financing to keep things inexpensive if you have the time to do so. Maybe, saving a couple of months and financing the rest of the price of the engagement ring can do the trick.

The meaning of wearing necklace
In ancient times, both men and women (usually royalty) wore necklaces, which were most often buried with the dead.
Greek artifacts include pendants or amulets which mythology tells us has significant purposes of personal protection and acknowledgement of the Gods. Greek men, however, rarely wore any jewelry other than a ring or gold wreath, for fear of seeming lady-like.
Roman history includes the introduction of gold to the craft of jewelry making after conquering the Orient nearly 2,500 years ago. Yet at one point in Roman history, wearing too much gold was seen as an unacceptable flaunting of your luxuries. Though the products and methods used to create necklaces have changed through the years, it seems that people have always shown others their elevated social status, or proclaimed religious beliefs by wearing the appropriate necklaces. Today, the array of necklaces available is so diverse . from crafts made by children at summer camps to fine jewelry made of precious metals and gemstones. When choosing a new necklace, know that the options are endless.

The Origin of the Wearing Earrings
According to Magical Arts evil spirits were thought to be able to enter the body through any of its openings and take control. "The first earrings were probably worn to bar the way to these spirits and so was the first lipstick."
"Earrings are rings that are worn in the ears. Piercing the lobes to allow the wearing of earrings is an ancient practice.
"Most parts of the body have been pierced for various magical and religious reasons throughout the ages. Ears may have been among the first, along with the nose which is still pierced in India for protective, as well as cosmetic reasons.
"Folklore still surrounds this practice. Pierced earrings general are often recommended to strengthen weak eyes if set with emeralds, they are particularly effective. Gold earrings are often worn by those wishing to cure headaches, though some say to wear one gold earring and one silver for this purpose."
In Genesis, when God told Jacob to go the Bethel, Jacob:
"said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem" (Genesis 3 5:2-4).
When Jacobs household was ready to seek God, they got rid of all their earrings and idols. What some people do not realise is that Satan is a liar and a deceiver. Instead of these items protecting an individual from the evil spirits, they are actually attracting evil spirits.
Hosea says that Israel "decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat Me, saith the Lord."
I Timothy advises: "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."

Pink Diamonds
You might be puzzling about what forms pink diamonds,actually, the colored diamonds have a chemical variation that affects how the stones reflect light, resulting in different hues. However, the colorless diamond is comprised of pure carbon.
Other elements, such as existing radiation during formation or twists in the crystal structure of the stone can also affect a diamond’s color. While gemologists are certain of what causes certain shades – boron, for example, creates blue stones – they haven’t yet discovered what creates pink shades. Pink is one of the rarest colors of diamonds, and commercial quality stones are only found in the Argyle Mine in Australia, making them even more mysterious and desirable.
Next you may ask“How is the quality of pink diamond? Will it be not so good as the colorless one?”According to the research,all diamonds, regardless of their specific color, are judged by their carat weight, cut proportions, purity of clarity, and overall color.
While most diamonds with a tinge of color are considered inferior and less valuable, an intense, consistent color is highly valued. That characteristic is one of the most prevalent when judging the quality of pink diamonds.
Pink stones are available in a range of hues, from a very light salmon to an intense, vibrant magenta. The deeper the color, the more valuable the stone and hence, the higher its price. The majority of pink stones are lighter shades, but because of their inherent rarity they still sell at a high price, up to ten times the cost of a colorless stone with similar quality.
All diamonds, regardless of their color, are subject to the same types of flaws and inclusions. Normally any flaw will decrease the value of a gem, but because of pink diamonds’ rarity, jewelers may manipulate the flaw to create a unique design – a starburst, for example – rather than discard the stone as unworkable. Ideally, however, the stone should be flawless to keep its unusual color.
Have you ever dream of a pink diamond ring? You are certainly to look more feminine and graceful with pink diamond ring on your delicate finger.Ever since Jennifer Lopez was given a pink engagement ring, these stones have become a fashion trend. Pink diamond engagement rings can be found in a variety of styles, settings, and designs, or if a couple is lucky enough to obtain a loose gem, most jewelers would welcome the opportunity to create a custom ring with the unusual shade.
To preserve the stone’s color, most colored diamond rings are set in white gold or platinum rather than yellow gold, which may cast a yellowish hue onto the stone. In the case of pink diamonds, simple settings accented by smaller colorless diamonds or coordinating gemstones are the most prevalent designs.
Pink diamonds are a rare but beautiful option for couples interested in unique diamond jewelry, including engagement rings. Though they are expensive, the sophistication and rarity of the gems has made them increasingly popular in today’s jewelry market.

Wedding accessories—the less,the better
The key—headwear
Head make-up is the climax of the bride-make-up,thus it will take hours to finish.Half bottle of wax and at least a dozen of clips must be used upon the head to create a full head of twist bread. But nowadays,when we encourage simple,more and more brides prefer fresh and natural hair styles to a freeze hair style.
Only a dazzling hair clasp will be enough if the beide wears a quite simple hair style.For example, you can wear a bun on the back head and you will become dignified immediately after a diamond crown is worn on it.The princess character can be revealed by snow white wedding dress. However, if you wear a complicated hair style,the diamond studs can make it up,by alternating silver color with black hair color.Otherwise,you can use the purer and more beautiful flowers instead of the clips.
Earrings—modifying your face
The earrings shoulde be chosen upon different faces and hair styles.The right earrings can soften you whole face and make the finishing point.However,wrongly selected earrings can expose your weakness and ruined the whole image of the bride.
Bride with round face should wear long earrings,which will enlongate the round face and looks more graceful.While the round earrings will just make your face rounder; Bride with long face should wear round or big earrings to adjust the proportion of the face,making it more charming.

Engagement Ring Mishaps
Leak Into The Sink
An engagement ring lost down a drain (shower, tub, sink, pool, etc.) is one of the most common engagement ring mishaps. Tight rings loosen as fingers shrink when immersed in cold water, making them more prone to slipping off. Small rings, especially, could slip off unnoticed, and particularly in large bodies of water such as a lake, pool, or spa, it may be impossible to locate the ring.
To Avoid: Always remove the ring before doing dishes, bathing, or swimming and place it in a safe location away from the drain. Never place the ring on the edge of the sink or tub where it could easily be knocked into the drain. For extra protection, place a mesh cover over drains to avoid small items dropping into the pipes.
To Correct: Shut off the water valves immediately and do not drain additional water through the system. Remove u-bend pipes and check for the ring in the lowest section if possible, or call for professional assistance.
Eaten by a Pet
Small pets in particular are curious about shiny, glittery objects, and an engagement ring may be a tempting morsel. Unfortunately, the ring is neither good for the animal nor is the animal’s digestive tract good for the ring.
To Avoid: Never leave an engagement ring in a location accessible to pets (on a low table, for example). If possible, always put the ring carefully in a jewelry box or its original case, or store it in a drawer or cupboard out of reach of pets.
To Correct: Assure that the pet will not be hurt, visit a veterinarian as soon as possible. If the ring is able to pass through the animal’s digestive tract, the solution is to monitor their bowel movements for the ring, but with small pets surgery or induced vomiting may be necessary.
Deformation
Even platinum settings can be twisted if caught on protruding objects, and a damaged setting greatly increases the risk of damaging or losing the diamonds or gemstones.
To Avoid: Remove the ring when reaching into tight spaces such as under a mattress, into unknown storage areas, or while working in other tight locations. If possible, choose a setting that is durable enough to withstand some stress, such as thicker prongs or recessed designs like flush or bezel settings.
To Correct: The only way to correct a twisted setting is through professional repairs by an experienced jeweler. Do not try to repair the ring yourself because it’s a sophisticated accessory.
In the Vacuum
An engagement ring can easily be absorbed into a powerful vacuum cleaner.
To Avoid: Never place the ring on the floor or in a location where it could easily be dropped onto the floor before vacuuming.
To Correct: Stop vacuuming immediately and remove the vacuum bag or canister. Sift through the debris carefully and once the ring is recovered, check it for damage or lost stones. If the ring is undamaged, clean it thoroughly to remove dust and debris, but if it has sustained damage, have it checked by a professional first to avoid further damage.
Lost Stones
Stones can fall off even the tightest settings, either by being knocked about or through damage to the setting itself such as twisting or warping.
To Avoid: Check the ring periodically (every six months is standard) for setting damage or loose stones, and avoid situations that could result in twisted settings.
To Correct: Search for the stone thoroughly wherever it is noticed to be lost and wherever the ring is normally kept. If it is found, put it in a safe location until repairs can be made, but if it is not located, have a jeweler examine the ring closely in order to procure a replacement stone (lab certificates and appraisals are helpful for exact matches).
Color Fading
Chemicals can easily discolor a ring and may fracture treated stones.
To Avoid: Remove the ring before encountering cleaning chemicals of any sort, including solvents, cleansers, and chlorinated water.
To Correct: Rinse the ring thoroughly to remove remaining chemical traces, and clean it promptly. If the discoloration persists, consult a jeweler for additional corrective measures and repairs.
The key to avoiding these and other engagement ring mishaps is to always be aware of potential dangers to the ring, the stones, and the setting, and taking steps to protect them. By consciously protecting your ring, you ensure that it will last for many anniversaries to become a heirloom in your family.
