			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the world of fashion, there are a lot of things that are hot right now, but this is mostly true for very expensive jewelry. When it comes to hip-hop, right now everyone is all about showing off the “bling.” If you have never heard of this word, it pretty much stands for very expensive jewelry.</p>
<div id="attachment_109" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-109" title="Hip Hop Cross Necklaces" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/hip-hop-cross-necklaces.jpg" alt="Hip Hop Cross Necklaces" width="480" height="292" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hip Hop Cross Necklaces</p></div>
<p>This can mean anything from <a href="http://www.jewelryadviser.com/category_194.html" target="_blank">necklaces</a> laced with diamonds or watches covered in gold. It does not matter what kind of jewelry you pick out as long as it&#8217;s big and expensive. This is a trend that is growing by the day, and it shows no signs of dying out any time soon.</p>
<div id="attachment_107" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-107" title="Hip Hop Steel Cross" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/hip-hop-steel-cross.jpg" alt="Hip Hop Steel Cross" width="480" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hip Hop Steel Cross</p></div>
<p>If you are into hip-hop (or rap), there is a good chance that you know that very expensive jewelry is in. This kind of jewelry is called “bling.” The bigger your bling, the more it costs. The more it costs, the more powerful and cool you are. That is just the way it works. It does not matter what kind of jewelry it is, as long as it is big and expensive. A lot of people have <a href="http://www.egoldwatches.com/" target="_blank">gold watches</a>, platinum teeth, and many other things. However, the most common jewelry that people use to show off their expensive taste are their necklaces.</p>
<div id="attachment_111" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-111" title="Hip Hop Skull Necklace" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/hip-hop-skull-necklace.jpg" alt="Hip Hop Skull Necklace" width="480" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hip Hop Skull Necklace</p></div>
<p>The bigger and longer your necklaces, the more respect you get (mostly because the longer necklaces cost more money, and if you are wearing one, that means your are loaded). A lot of the time, this very expensive <a href="http://www.morningjewelry.com/" target="_blank">jewelry</a> is almost out of control. A lot of people take this idea a little too far. If you have been to your local mall, or watched a rap video anytime recently, you know what I am talking about.<br />
<span id="more-106"></span>In the rap videos nowadays, the rappers wore necklaces that hang down to their belt lines (some times lower). However, the “bling” really does not have too much to do with how long it hangs. It has more to do with what is on the end of your necklace. The pendants that they hang from their necks are usually huge, and are solid gold laced with different color diamonds.  That&#8217;s right, nowadays not even normal diamonds are enough to show off your very expensive jewelry. You have to have different colored ones. In fact, right now the in thing to do is to have your pendant be the colors of the American flag (red, white, and blue). However, the “in” thing changes almost weekly, so there are not many people that can afford to go out and buy a new pendant every day (unless you really are an up and coming rapper).</p>
<div id="attachment_108" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-108" title="Dollar Sign Ring" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/dollar-sign-ring.jpg" alt="Dollar Sign Ring" width="480" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dollar Sign Ring</p></div>
<p>The prices of these necklaces are off the charts! Most of these necklaces cost more than what people make in a whole year. They can range anywhere from thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on your make and model. I mean, that costs more than most high dollar cars! So the next time you are thinking about going out to get some very expensive jewelry like the rappers have, you better make sure you save your pennies and dimes.</p>
<div id="attachment_110" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-110" title="Hip Hop Gun Necklace" src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/hip-hop-gun-necklace.jpg" alt="Hip Hop Gun Necklace" width="480" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hip Hop Gun Necklace</p></div>
<p>That is why you see so many people walking around with the fake jewelry on, or sometimes called the knock off brands. The good thing about these is that most people can not tell the difference between the fakes and the reals. However, there will always be some that can, and that is why some people will not wear that kind of stuff.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s March and there are many events that are associated with the merry month of March. People usually are dreaming and thinking about the upcoming season called spring. People might also think about chocolate bunnies and pastel eggs for Easter and parsley, roasted eggs, and the Seder Plate for Passover. Plus, <a href="http://www.anysportsjewelry.com/baseball-jewelry/" target="_blank">baseball fans</a> might start thinking about the start of baseball season.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/white-gold-claddagh-locket.jpg" alt="White Gold Claddagh Locket" /></p>
<p>All of these events and holidays are good things to think about during March however the month of March is the month of wearing green, leprechauns, four leaf clovers, mint milkshakes, and corned beef and cabbage. This is because March is the month in which we celebrate <a href="http://www.charmsland.com/saint-patricks-day-italian-charms/" target="_blank">Saint Patrick’s Day</a>. In fact, everybody is Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day. Moreover, it might surprise people but there is Irish jewelry that people often wear to illustrate their love of Ireland even if they aren’t Irish.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/celtic-green-cz-pendant.jpg" alt="14K Gold Celtic Green CZ Pendant" /></p>
<p>Both jewelry lovers and lovers of Ireland and all things Irish should know that patron saint jewelry is usually Irish. This is because the most famous patron saint is probably Saint Patrick from Ireland. It is also important to know that saint patron jewelry will bring people the luck of the Irish. Let’s look at some symbolic <a href="http://www.anyreligiousjewelry.com/celtic-jewelry/" target="_blank">Irish jewelry</a> that Saint Patrick would be proud to wear.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/gold-claddagh-ring.jpg" alt="14K Gold Claddagh Ring" /></p>
<p>The Claddagh ring is a great Irish jewelry piece. Did you know that the Claddagh design dates back to 16th century Ireland? It was originally handcrafted by an Irish gold smith named Richard Joyce in the small fishing village of Claddagh. The beautiful and exquisite Irish symbol features two hands holding a crowned heart. Generally, the two hands <a href="http://www.jewelryadviser.com/peace-symbol-jewelry.html" target="_blank">symbolize</a> friendship, the heart symbolizes love, and the crown symbolizes loyalty. It is very important to understand that the way that a Claddagh ring is worn indicates whether or not the wearer of the ring is available.</p>
<p><span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>Traditionally, if the design of the ring is facing outward it means that the wearer is available and if the design is word inward then it means that the wearer is in a serious relationship or married. Claddagh rings are created from sterling silver and gold. They often also have gemstones in them such as turquoise and diamonds. Claddagh rings can be part of patron saint jewelry because there is much history, symbolism, and romance behind the Claddagh.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/claddagh-cross-pendant.jpg" alt="14K Gold Claddagh Cross Pendant" /></p>
<p>In addition to the Claddagh design much patron saint jewelry is created from Connemara marble. Connemara marble is unique to Western Ireland and it has existed in Ireland for millions of years. Connemara marble is both rare and resilient plus it captures Ireland lush green landscape with its forty shades of both light and dark green.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jewelryadviser.org/wp-content/uploads/patricks-day-shamrock-pendant.jpg" alt="Gold Happy St. Patricks Day Shamrock Pendant" /></p>
<p>Did you also know that Connemara marble is found in some of the world’s greatest attractions in Ireland such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Kensington Palace? Connemara marble is found in <a href="http://www.jewelryadviser.com/category_225.html" target="_blank">patron saint jewelry</a> such as rosary beads and sterling silver cared rose rings. Connemara marble can be considered patron saint jewelry because it has been a part of Ireland for a long time. Remember that patron saint jewelry is Irish.<br />
