The Writing and Art of Andrew Thornton
Despite his aversion to snow and the cold, Andrew finds appreciation for the winter whiteness and creates a buying guide for snowflake themed jewelry components.
When I woke up today, thick clouds covered the sky and it was dark enough to make me take a second look at my alarm clock. It didn’t get any lighter as the afternoon wore on. I expected it to storm any minute-it didn’t. The sky brooded all day.
Have you ever seen pictures of celebrities walking the red carpet and thought to yourself “I want to look like that?” Their hair all done up, a pretty dress on and amazing jewelry. Wish no further, today there are many “knock off” companies that design jewelry to look like the stars. They specifically want to recreate what sparkled on the red carpet so you too can feel beautiful. Even if it isn’t exact, it comes extremely close and looks great.
Most of these knock off stores have great quality items with top grade CZ and sterling silver. Why spend a ton of money for an item of jewelry when you can spend a fraction of the cost. It is important to realize that most of the time these celebrities are borrowing their jewelry anyways, they aren’t even purchasing the stuff! So, neither should you at such a crazy price. But if it still looks amazing and purchased at a great price, make it yours!
Got a party to attend, a date you want to look nice at, or maybe you just want to feel like a star? Buy from a knock off jeweler and feel like a million bucks. The options are endless because most of these knock off companies are purchasing new jewelry weekly to keep up with the celebrities. You want diamonds? They’ve got amazing CZ stones that shine. Looking for rubies? Have an itch for pink? It doesn’t matter what you want, you can find it. Some of the stores also allow you to request specific pieces. It is amazing what is available for the paying customer. You can even find jewelry to wear on your wedding day. Your wedding day is an important day and you should feel like a star. Now you can!
Don’t spend any more time feeling like you can’t afford nice jewelry. You can if you purchase your jewels through celebrity inspired jewelry sites. With so many stores and great looking items the options are endless. You too can get the look of the red carpet all with one click of a button.
