White Cultured Pearl Necklace Bracelet Earrings Set

There are a lot of types of pearls emerging now in the market, and everyone just loves them! One of them is the Mother of Pearl. It is the iridescent lining found on the inside of the shells of some mollusks such as large oysters, abalones, pearl mussels and paua shells. The multi-colored shimmer of mother of pearl is caused by variations in the mollusk’s diet as well as conditions in the environment.

Mother of pearl has been used in gold and silver rings, necklaces, brooches and buttons. This classic material is also used for jewelry, inlay work, combs, knife handles, playing-card cases and fans.

The most important characteristic of mother of pearl is luster, the way the light is caught by the mother of pearl and returned to the viewer’s eye. Very reflective and distinctive colored mother of pearl can make elegant earrings and necklaces with a vintage feel.

Mother of pearl is believed to reduce stress and is used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve anxiety and promote calmness and peace of mind.

VistaBella uses the highest grade mother of pearl to create our jewelry. We believe that excellent jewelry begins with superior materials. We select mother-of-pearl with outstanding luster and distinctive color to craft our gold and silver rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. These are just perfect for any occasions such as weddings and birthdays!

CARE

Mother of pearl can be coated by a professional jeweler to retain its luster and protect the delicate material from scratches and fading. Clean mother of pearl jewelry by wiping with a moist cloth and gently patting dry.  Never use ultrasonic or steam-cleaning methods on mother of pearl jewelry.  Store mother of pearl jewelry in individual cases to protect against accidental damage.

Its History

Although cubic zirconia was first discovered in 1937 by a pair of German mineralogists, it wasn’t until the 1960’s that science was able to produce cubic zirconia on demand. Liquid zirconia is cooled in a crucible that allows the material to develop into crystals. These crystals are as clear as the finest diamonds, and even an experienced eye has difficulty distinguishing between a diamond and a cubic zirconia, and this includes the ones sold at VistaBella.com .

At first, the technology used to grow cubic zirconia allowed only small crystal sizes, suitable for use in industry and research. Refined techniques allow scientists to produce the larger cubic zirconia crystals popular in jewelry today. This also allows scientists to produce larger crystals in larger quantities, to the point that cubic zirconia is now only a fraction of the price of a diamond.

The cubic zirconia can stand in for a diamond in jewelry because it shares many of the same characteristics of its more expensive counterpart. It is dense and heavy, even heavier than a diamond of the same size. The crystal reflects light well, and the natural body color is flawless and clear, although trace elements can be added to the zirconium to produce different colors. Cubic zirconia is a bit more brittle that a diamond, but it generates a fire very similar to that of a diamond, and its radiance can be enhanced with a proper cut.

The remarkable qualities of cubic zirconia have earned it a place as a gemstone in its own right. VistaBella offers a selection of the best cubic zirconia in flawless colors, shapes and cuts that are perfect for gift to a loved one or as a treat for yourself.

Its Colors

“Looking at different colored gems is like looking at the rainbow, you’ll get entice and allure just by merely looking at them, and then you’ll long for wanting to have them.”

Although cubic zirconia can be made as clear and flawless as the highest grade diamonds, adding trace elements to the mix creates cubic zirconia in just about any color your heart desires. Chemistry creates the color of cubic zirconia, but at VistaBella, we believe that your care and selection of the perfect gift creates the chemistry of love.

Red is made by introducing small amounts of cerium oxide, although oranges and yellows can also be made using this element. Pink-colored cubic zirconia is made with traces of erbium, europium or holmium. Yellow, amber and brown cubic zirconia can be made with three different elements: iron oxide, nickel oxide and titanium oxide.
Rich greens come from chromium, manganese and vanadium oxide. Blue is created with yttrium oxide while lilacs, purples, and violets are created with cobalt and neodymium oxide.

You should care for your colored cubic zirconia just as you would your regular zirconia, and always protect it from accidental damage. Make some chemistry happen. VistaBella has just the right color for you.

How to take care of your CZ jewelry

Caring for your cubic zirconia consists of two parts: professional care and at-home care. Using both parts of the care plan ensures the beauty of your jewelry for a lifetime, and is recommended by VistaBella.

Professional Care

At VistaBella, we offer professional cleaning services that restore the brilliance of your cubic zirconia jewelry. Our skilled jewelers can also check the setting of your jewelry.

• Check the setting once a year.

• Clean the stone and setting once a year.

At-Home Care

The second part of the care plan for your cubic zirconia jewelry is at-home care. Proper cleaning, as well as protecting the stone from accidental damage, keeps your jewelry looking brand new, and will help it last for a very long time, if not forever.

Cleaning

• Clean your jewelry in warm water with a mild detergent.

• Rinse with warm water to remove soap residue.

• Dry using a soft, lint-free cloth.

• You may also use ultrasonic cleaners.

Protection

• Remove cubic zirconia jewelry before performing heavy work or exercise.

• Do not wear your jewelry while you apply make up or body powders.

• Store each piece of jewelry in an individual bag or case.

If you want to make sure that your jewelry is a genuine gold, always look for the karat mark “K” or “14K” (if 14K gold) that is stamped on the back of your jewelry.

By U.S. law, if a karat mark appears you should also see the manufacturer’s trademark to assure you that the karat marking is accurate. Each piece of gold jewelry should be sealed with a trademark of its maker as well as the country where it came from.

The higher the karat, the higher the price is and the lower the karat, the lower would be the price of gold.

Happy shopping!

14k Two Tone Gold 3D Belt Buckle Diamond Ring

While all that glitters may be gold, not all gold is the soft yellow of Spanish doubloons. White gold, rose gold, and green gold all make beautiful gold jewelry and can be found at VistaBella. Thin strands of white and yellow gold can be woven together to create stunning pieces of gold jewelry. The different colors allow you to match the hue of a gemstone to a gold setting or bring out a new fire from the same gem. Rose gold accents can be fashioned for a sculpted wedding band of white gold.

Yellow Gold & White Gold

The most common alloy of gold used in jewelry. Small amounts of copper, zinc and silver are added to pure gold. The zinc, silver and copper make yellow gold jewelry a bit harder and more resistant to wear than pure gold. Another common gold color for necklaces and earrings, white gold is also a popular choice for wedding bands and engagement rings. Palladium, zinc and nickel are added to gold to give jewelry made from this alloy a white, reflective shine.

Rose Gold

Also known as pink gold or red gold, rose gold owes its pink color to higher percentage of copper in the mix. The additional copper gives the gold a blush of pink that can be deepened to red by increasing the amount of copper in the alloy. This makes beautiful jewelry for little girls, or anything shaped like flowers, especially roses.

Green Gold

Green gold is made by increasing the amount of silver found in a standard yellow gold alloy. Other metals, such as cadmium, can be used along with the silver to deepen the green hue of the gold. All the colors of gold are precious, and we are pleased to offer you a selection fine jewelry crafted from white gold, rose gold, green gold as well as traditional yellow gold.

Gold. Few metals inspire the same emotional rush as the 14K gold from VistaBella. Ancient peoples worshipped idols wrought of gold. Pharaohs built the Pyramids to foil thieves who wished to plunder the gold and riches of their tombs. Kings have traded away their crowns in exchange for sums of gold. Mere rumors of this precious metal drove the Spanish Conquistadors to the New World. Its power and attraction are eternal. Easily worked into attractive jewelry and impervious to rust or tarnish, the allure of this noble metal endures through the ages.

14k Yellow Gold High Polished Designer Hoop Earrings

These days, we still know the power and beauty of gold jewelry. We create gold rings that entice the eye and cast the ancient spell of gold. Fine craftsmanship meets the perfect medium in gold rings, and the combination is seductive. 14k gold is silky and sexy as an elegant band. Textures and engraving adds depth and a subtle twist on the simple design. Or go for something more extravagant with a 14k gold setting. This metal is the perfect complement for diamonds, emeralds, rubies or other precious stones.

Wedding rings of 14k gold or an engagement set tap into the rich tradition of gold. Symbolizing the purity of love and the permanence of the wedding vows, golden wedding bands and engagement rings are classic pieces of wedding jewelry, and as well as things to come, such as a golden anniversary. The most beautiful wedding bands and engagement rings express the love in your heart and show it to the world are made of the precious metal that seems timeless. Such rings will take your breath away on your wedding day, and their golden beauty will be cherished for a lifetime.

But there is much more 14k gold jewelry than just beautiful rings. Earrings, necklaces and charms of 14k gold add a touch of power and radiance to your ensemble. Cunning shapes and outstanding craftsmanship, plus the enduring allure of gold make any gold earrings, necklaces, pendants and other gold jewelry the must have fashion accessory. Teardrop earrings, golden earrings set with precious stones and simple 14k gold hoops all add interest to any outfit. Long necklaces accent a plunging neckline and give a hint of riches, while a gold choker flatters the muscles of the neck.

Elegant and Exquisite.

Whether you choose a solitaire diamond ring or find that clusters of smaller diamonds in a pave setting are more your style, you’ll find a quality 10k white gold ring at VistaBella. Choose a white gold band with smooth classic lines and squared or rounded contour, or pick out a knife edge band for a style with a bit more punch. We offer 10k white gold diamond rings in mirror or matte finishes, and you can match the setting to the cut of the diamond.

The Perfect Engagement Ring

White gold and diamond create the perfect engagement ring. Complete an elegant proposal with a ring that not only tells her how you feel, but will also show the world how you feel about her. White gold is created when gold is alloyed with palladium and nickel to create a sterling brilliance that harmonizes with a diamond’s fire. The result: a contemporary and fresh update of the classic gold and diamond engagement ring.

The Perfect Cut

What separates a good diamond from a great one? The cut of the stone. A diamond can be judged on the color, the clarity, the carat, and the cut, which is the first thing you notice about one. Classic diamond cuts, such as the Round or Princess cut, show off the radiance of the stone, while the Marquise cut creates the illusion of a larger diamond. Celebrate your love with a Heart cut diamond for a literal, traditional feel, or remind your special someone that you will always love them with a classic Round cut diamond.

The Perfect Setting

White gold is a dazzling setting for a diamond. The pure shine of white gold is taken up by the stone and enhanced into a star-like brilliance. At VistaBella we match the best diamonds with quality settings. The prong setting is a popular choice with Princess cut diamonds, because the natural fire of the stone is enhanced. Fractional carat diamonds and white gold are a delicious combination in a pave setting, especially in combination with a center gemstone. 10k white gold makes the diamonds in a sleek channel or bar setting glow.

Gold is alloyed with other metals to make precious jewelry that can stand up to the rigors of daily life. 10k gold has 10 parts of gold per 24 parts of metal. The result: fine quality jewelry that is tough and looks fantastic for a fraction of the price of purer, softer gold. Using 10k gold, a jeweler can make finer bands because the metal is less likely to bend or warp out of shape. At VistaBella, we carry a selection of 10k gold jewelry that is beautiful, finely crafted, and affordable.

Weddings and Engagements

The first piece of jewelry that most people think of is the wedding set, as well as regular wedding bands and engagement rings. These beautiful rings are available with different setting styles including the popular and enduring solitaire diamond engagement ring set in 10k gold. You can also find more intricate engagement rings that show off the beauty of pave and channel settings. Gold is a traditional and classy way to begin a life together or renew a declaration of love to someone that began years ago. Of course, there’s an array of other types of 10k gold rings to choose from as well.

Necklaces and Pendants

10k gold jewelry can be more than just rings, though. VistaBella has finely-crafted 10k gold  necklaces and pendants for men and women. Long or short, delicate or bold, you can find style and length that you are looking for in a gold necklace. Compliment your choice of necklace with a pendant fashioned from the same material. You can find pendants that feature ornate designs with multiple gemstones arranged in floral inspired patterns as well as simple hearts and crosses, all of which serve to make sure you can wear your gold jewelry with anything, and still look elegant and sophisticated.

Bracelets and Earrings

If you’re looking for some kind of  10k gold jewelry, you might look at earrings and bracelets as well. If you want something elegant you could try plain gold hoops or single pearl earrings graced with 10k gold. For those with flashier tastes, you could look at earrings that unite clusters of fractional carat diamonds, emeralds, and other precious gemstones with gold to create gleaming fashion accessories. Not a fan of earrings? Try a bracelet instead. 10k gold bracelets look good on men, women, and children alike, including charm bracelets, Figaro bracelets and ID bracelets.
