Since the beginning of civilization jewelry that has a religious or sptiritual connection has been worn by many. Whether you think of crosses in Christianity, as well as rosaries; charms with the likeness of the Buddha; the Hamsa, a hand shaped design which means 5, that has been an ancient protector from the Evil Eye; or the Star of David in Judaism, these symbols have become part of our way of connecting to the divine.

Visit our online store, The Diva's Jewelry Box, to see our collection of timeless talismans, as I call them, and add something inspirational to your collection.

Designer Profile: Nikita Sing

2013-04-23T20:38:00.000-04:00

What I like about designer Nikita Sing's pieces are the elegant way she combines elements in an almost talismanic style. These accessories seem to speak to you with a delicate, but yet bohemian feel.

Another characteristic of her work is that they are flexible and you can be creative with the way you wear them. A necklace can also turn into a headband or wrapped around your wrist as a bracelet. Also switch it up and bracelets can be worn on your ankles as well.

Feel free to experiment, visit The Diva's Jewelry Box to view Nikita Sing 's collection as well as many other jewelry designers.

You can post comments, let us know what you think of these designs. Thanks for visiting!

Business Promotion Tip: Offline Advertising Ideas - Part 3 Of 3

2013-04-17T20:14:00.001-04:00

Create you own business opportunity flyer and grow your list of Boutique Owners. You'll earn 15% on all sales from your team of Boutique Owners, so this is another way to build your business.

In your back office you'll see a link for sharing the Kitsy Lane opportunity through social media. Share it there as well, but also use the information on that page to make your own flyers.

You can post the flyers, be creative and see what makes sense in your area, but I'm thinking about giving them out at flea markets. Approach people that are vendors and ask if they know someone who may be interested in a free online business opportunity. Even if they don't think it's for them, they may know someone else who'd like to sign on as a Boutique Owner.

Post them at supermarkets, laundromats, cafes and any other businesses with message boards that allow flyer advertising.

Business Promotion Tip: Offline Advertising Ideas - Part 1 Of 3

2013-04-15T15:06:00.001-04:00

This post and the 2 following it will cover some ideas for advertising your Kitsy Lane jewelry boutique offline. These are easy ways to get your business in front of local prospects.

The first requires getting business cards. I use Vistaprint, you can go online and search for other companies also, they have offers where you can get them free as well as discounted. Also if you have a Staples in your area they usually have print shops where you can get cards printed the same day.

Once you get them, go around to as many hair and nail salons as you can and ask if you can leave your cards. This is a great way to quickly get your business in front of a targeted market of women that will spend money to look good. What better way for them to help show off their hair and nails than with a nice piece of jewelry (or two!) to add to their collection.

If you can, purchase a few items from your boutique for yourself to model when you're going on you your salon hunt. Use the coupons from your back office for shopping or get one by playing Jewelette. You'll also earn commissions on all your own sales. Since you're not carrying inventory, your clients can see a sample of what's available and the quality of the jewelry. Also don't forget to go back every couple of weeks or so to replinish the cards so they get to see and remember you.

Business Promotion Tip: Wear It And Share It

2013-03-12T20:14:00.001-04:00

One of the easiest ways I've found to promote my jewelry business is to wear an item from my boutique and show it off. Once people actually see the quality of the pieces they are more likely to be interested in checking out what else is available. Make sure you have a business card ready to give them once you've modeled your accessories.

Since Internet purchases may not always look the same in reality as what the customer views online, this also helps to give you more credibility.

Jewelry Tip: How To Care For Fashion Jewelry

2013-02-20T11:10:00.001-05:00

Although our fashionable jewelry pieces may not necessarily be diamond studded or 24K gold, they still need proper care to last and continue to look beautiful. Here are a few tips to keep your favorite accessories in good shape.

* Store your jewelry in plastic bags or in a covered box
* Take off your accessories before you apply perfume or lotion
* Don't wear your fashion jewelry while cleaning.
* If you need to clean your pieces, don't use soap or jewelry cleaner, try Windex. Then rinse with water and dry carefully.
(NOTE: Never use silver cleaner - it can strip a silver finish in seconds!)
* Remove your special pieces when showering, working out or sleeping

Fashion Trend: Fun With Colorblocking

2013-02-13T19:17:00.001-05:00

Colorblocking is when you match up 2-3 colors together. It's a fun look, and lots of fashions are following this trend, so it's no surprise that the right jewelry can provide the perfect accent.

Here are a few tips from Toni Ferrara, a celebrity style expert who is also a guest editor for Kitsy Lane's blog.

Some ideas on how to wear it
Choose colors that are close together on the color wheel. For instance cobalt blue pants with a turquoise top. Also you can pair different shades of the same colors, like hot pink with red.

How to use jewelry to create a colorblocked style
Let your jewelry accent your colorblocked outfit. Decide on a color scheme then have your jewelry match one of the colors of one your pieces of clothing.

How to wear jewelry to accentuate the colorblocked look
Bold, big jewelry along with gold or silver goes great with a colorblocked outfit.

But most of all, see what works for you and define your own style. Have fun!
