Independence Day is celebrated annually on the 4th of July. It is the day which recalls the celebration of independence from Britain in the year 1776. Because it's a federal holiday, there are many events like firework displays, concerts, and picnics. All of them celebrate the tradition of the country. As Independence Day falls in summers, most people like to enjoy their holiday outdoors with family and friends. Spending quality time by going to the beach or for a hike is a popular way to make the most of the day. It is an excellent opportunity to get together with family members who are otherwise busy in their lives. The pleasure of having food on the same dining table along with your near and dear ones is something many of us don't get to experience regularly. Don't you think a jewel and that too a gemstone, is a great accessory to end the day on a sweet and memorable note? Women love looking beautiful, so what can be a better way to win the heart of eve...

Known as the eye stone because of its ability to heal eye-related diseases, opal is a healing gemstone that has it all. It is believed that the word ‘opal’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Upala’ which means ‘precious stone.’ Some say that it was adapted from the word ‘opalus’ while others suggest that it may have been related to ‘Ops’ the wife of Saturn & the fertility goddess. Opal’s hardness doesn’t stand too high on the hardness scale which means it should be kept with care. Opal jewelry needs to be kept out of the sun or heat for a longer duration because opal contains moisture which is the reason behind its colorful appearance. Extreme heat and dryness can cause the stone to crack over time & lose its color.  Opal holds the colors of 4 of the most loved gemstones around the world and presents them in an eye-catching shimmer. The subtle red of ruby, the royal purple of amethyst, the profound blue of sapphire, and the enchanting sea-green of emeral...

Knowing what looks best with your dress neckline will help you create the perfect style. Follow these 4 simple rules to get it right. What Jewellery Suits My Wedding Dress? 1. High Neckline A wedding dress with a high neck will look too ‘busy’ if you wear a necklace. The same rule applies to asymmetric, off-one-shoulder and halterneck dresses. Instead, wear a pair of luxurious, eye catching diamond earrings and balance the look with a luxurious bracelet. 2. Strapless Neckline The strapless neckline is perfect backdrop for a big, luxurious necklace. However, a statement piece should always stand alone, so the rest of your jewellery will need to be understated. Simple diamond studs are perfect. For your hands, go for a delicate bracelet or a vintage rin...
