Diamond-studded earrings, rings, bangles and bracelets continue to be a popular trend at celebrity events, but MTV awards ceremonies always bring out the big stuff -- mostly in the form of huge, glitzy pendants worn by guys. They always catch the eye of photographers. The smaller jewelry isn't as easy to focus on, but it was there in way larger numbers than the mega pendants.

Pearl jewelry is new style jewelry
Pearls will always be in vogue, whoever wears it and whatever the occasion. However, one can make it somewhat more chic and stylish by giving it a slightly modern twist. The floating pearl necklace is a sexy new style of pearl jewelry that gives the illusion of pearls suspended around your neck. In reality, the pearls are held by gold or clear synthetic cord.
Pearls are nature’s best gifts and their natural lustrous shine with many shapes and sizes make pearl jewelry unique and graceful
Pearl is a natural product of an oyster’s body defense mechanism. They grow inside their mother oysters with a shimmering iridescence, luster and soft inner glow that is unlike any other gem on the earth. When any irritant or a parasite enters inside an oyster or mollusk then the process of natural coating begins with layer upon layer of nacre inside the oyster. It is the thickness of nacre and its lustrous shine make these pearls more precious and attractive.
Pearls are perfect to be given to people who are special to you, especially your daughter. They are very timeless and versatile. These pearls are by far the oldest gem stone known in the world. They have been around for centuries already and they have been very valuable ever since. Pearl actually comes from a Latin word that means unique because there can be no two pearls that will resemble each other exactly in any way.

What is White Gold
White gold alloys became fashionable mainly as a substitute for platinum. Platinum is quite expensive, needs greater temperatures than gold, and is generally considered harder to work with than gold, although it is ideal for use in diamond settings. Nowadays, they are a jewellery metal in their own right and currently very fashionable and desirable, particularly among the younger age groups. White golds are available up to 21 carat. They are often used to enhance diamonds and other gemstones. White gold bridal jewellery is increasingly popular.
Making gold white
Making gold white is similar to mixing colours in paints.Simply mixing a white and a yellow metal together does not just produce a pale yellow colour, alloying produces a difference in the atomic structure which alters the reflectivity of light of different wavelengths. Adding a red metal (copper) will tend to make gold red and adding a white metal tends to make gold paler and eventually white. Thus, all other alloying metals to gold, apart from copper, will tend to whiten the colour and so it is possible to make carat golds that are a reasonable white colour.
Whilst additions of any white metal to gold will tend to bleach it's colour, in practice, nickel and palladium (and platinum) are strong 'bleachers ' of gold, silver and zinc are moderate bleachers and all others are moderate to weak in effect.
This has given rise, historically, to 2 basic classes of white golds - the Nickel whites and the Palladium whites. The nickel-whites tend to have a colder white colour, whereas the palladium whites have a warmer colour. Good nickel whites tend to be hard and difficult to process. Good palladium whites tend to be soft, easy to process (but lost wax casting is more difficult) but are much more expensive, because of the price of palladium. Consequently, many commercial white alloys are thrifted in nickel or palladium and contain some copper; hence, colour is compromised. At the 8-10 carat (33.3 - 41.6% gold) level, gold-silver alloys are quite white, ductile although soft and are used for jewellery purposes.
