I shared this with a makeup artist and model during a video shoot. Both of them asked the same question. "Aren't they the same?" <br />
<br />
Nope. They aren't. This new video posted on the Glaze Jewelry channel on You Tube explains the difference. Check it out.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Women have earring trees, jewelry boxes, bracelets arms, and more for storing their jewelry. But most men prefer to keep things simple and easy. <a href="http://www.glazejewelry.com/">Men's bracelets</a>, watches, rings and other jewelry are often laid exposed and unprotected on top of the dresser.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Bad idea! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wood jewelry, gemstones, beads and leather all need to be stored properly. Leaving them laid out in the open on a dresser does little to protect men's jewelry from dust, curious kid hands, drops and other occurrences. Keeping jewelry quality in tact and making sure it lasts a long time is as easy as storing jewelry in a jewelry box. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">An uncomplicated, spacious jewelry box can make all the difference in the life of your <a href="http://www.glazejewelry.com/category/men-s-jewelry">men's bracelets</a>, necklaces, rings and other accessories. Protect gemstones, beads and leather in a jewelry box lined with materials like velveteen and satin. A cigar box-styled jewelry box with a easy open and close lid offers convenient storage and immediate access to your favorite jewelry.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sodalite Ohm Bracelet Designed by Glaze Jewelry</td></tr>
</tbody></table>Recently, a former co-worker commissioned me to design a bracelet for a friend. She requested an aum bracelet made with sodalite. As she provided more details about the reasoning for her specific request for this gemstone, I learned the bracelet would be a true artistic expression of her friend's personality and of the well-wishes she sought to bestow. Sodalite was the PERFECT gemstone for this project!<br />
<br />
My former co-worker's friend, also a former co-worker, was approaching the end of her studies to become a Yoga instructor. This was a graduation gift. Also, the budding yoga teacher is a very natural and laid back personality. Again, sodalite was the PERFECT gemstone for this graduation gift! Here's why.<br />
<br />
Sodalite, a dark blue stone with specks of white calcite specks throughout, is very natural looking gemstone. It is said to be a gemstone of power, promoting inner peace and harmony and increasing endurance. Perfect for a budding yoga instructor, huh?<br />
<br />
Also, sodalite is a stone of luck. Of course, her BFF is wishing her luck along her new path.<br />
<br />
Finally, I had a little insider info about my co-worker who was soon to add yoga instructor to her title. She has often spoke of her concerns with her thyroid. Sodalite, as it happens, is said to be a healing stone with specific healing properties related to the thyroid.<br />
<br />
Like I said, sodalite was a perfect gemstone choice. Of course, the aum charm was the finishing touch as the ohm is the sound of meditation in yoga practice and religions like Hinduism and Buddism. Aums are said to help those in practice form a deeper connection with God and the universe.<br />
<br />
Once again...the perfect gift!<br />
<br />
How well do you know your best friend? What stone would you choose for him/her?<br />

My facebook page is the only exception to the rule.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It was getting hard maintaining all those online storefronts under all those different names. <span> </span>The smart way…the only way… to kick things off right is by branding with my cool last name (thanks to my ex). That name is Glaze.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</tbody></table>One of the first gemstones I used in my <a href="http://www.glazejewelry.com/category/men-s-bracelets">men's bracelet</a> designs was black onyx with a matte finish. It is one of my favorite stones to work with when designing <a href="http://www.glazejewelry.com/">jewelry for men</a>. Black onyx symbolizes eloquence. It reflects an understated style.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Like men, black onyx appears tough at first glance, but when you experience this stone up close and person, you find that it's fragile and must be handled with care.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Stick around, I'll be making more <a href="http://www.glazejewelry.com/category/men-s-bracelets">men's bracelets</a>, <a href="http://www.glazejewelry.com/category/skull-bracelets">skull bracelets </a>and eventually men's necklaces with black onyx. </div>Ayana Glazehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16725397147262899083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728012966954499033.post-47890013518060017172011-07-07T11:18:00.000-04:002011-10-03T13:20:29.779-04:00The Sex Appeal of Men’s Jewelry<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So, I was in <a href="http://organicstones.com/">Organic Stones</a> bead store last week and two men come into the store. One of the men was making a necklace for himself. His friend looked puzzled by the store, the beads and his buddy’s infatuation with the stones. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As I observed the one who was making jewelry, I was drawn into a conversation. The DIY-jewelry maker began to ask me what I thought about the stones (tigers eye and black onyx) he was using in his piece, if I knew there meanings, and what I thought about how he planned on incorporating the stones and a custom-made medallion into the necklace.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, his friend looked on bewildered by our conversation and began to shake his head. He spoke, “I don’t get it.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The guy making the jewelry replied, “This is spiritual man! These stones mean something.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then the guy making the jewelry looked at me and said, “Help me out here!”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I replied, “There’s just something about a man wearing a nice piece of jewelry – a piece of jewelry that reeks of masculinity and raw sex appeal.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The guy making jewelry responded, “There you have it, man! And, this woman knows what she is talking about, too. Jewelry is sexy!”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He didn’t know that I’m a men’s jewelry artist (can’t wait for those business cards to come).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In my opinion, men’s jewelry is very sexy. The right <a href="http://www.glazejewelry.com/category/men-s-bracelets">men's bracelet</a>, necklace or earring complimenting the right outfit is appealing to me. I love jewelry on a man like I love to smell cologne on a man. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But, not just any <a href="http://glazejewelry.com/">men's jewelry</a> will do. It needs to be classy, raw, masculine and sexy with an <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">oomph! factor</b> that is so natural, so fitting that you really can’t put your finger on why you love it or why you love him in it. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You just do!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Peace & Blessings!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

What was meant to be a line has now become an opportunity for a second stream of income from my jewelry design business.<br />
<br />
My Pretty Girl Rocks Jewelry line is now Pretty Girl Rocks Jewelry Making Parties. I provide parents with a hip and trendy option for little girl birthday parties, slumber parties and other special events. Girls ages 5 - 17 can have a jewelry making party. I spend about two hours with the birthday girl and her guests showing them how to design and make a bracelet, pair of earrings or a necklace. At the end of the party, the girls have a great party favor to take home.<br />
<br />
I told a co-worker about my new service today. Now, I have my first party scheduled for May 7, 2011. I plan on filling my books with these parties over the course of the next few months.<br />

I saw some colors but they really didn't move me. But, as I explored agate more deeply I found a rich, vibrant color spectrum offering a wealth of design ideas.<div><br />
