Earrings Are the Cherry on Top of a Beautiful Outfit

Earrings are the cherry on top of a beautiful outfit. Choose small, delicate styles for casual and business attire and bold, statement pieces for formal occasions.

Stylish earrings are the perfect accessory to complement a red carpet look. Choosing an attention-grabbing pair is also the best way to show off personal style.

Weddings

Earrings have long been one of the most prominent forms of jewelry throughout history. From delicate studs to dangling drops, they add glamour to any outfit. Earrings have become less of a status symbol than they once were and are now used more for fashion and beauty rather than as a way to show wealth or power.

Dangle earrings hang below the earlobe and are available in many styles, from simple chains to ornate gem-adorned designs. Extra-long designs can touch the shoulder and are sometimes referred to as ‘shoulder dusters’.

Latch backs feature a hinged post that attaches to a metal catch, the design of which Custom fashion accessories varies. Push backs are the most common and slide up the post to be secure. Screw backs are more secure than push backs and feature a screw that screws onto a grooved post. They are easy to put on but take longer to remove.

Quinceanera

The priest congratulated Lucero, then blessed several items, including her porcelain doll. After Mass, she and her court jumped into her limo and headed to the party, a catered affair at a church hall in Bay Ridge.

Widely celebrated among Latinos, quinceaneras are part birthday party, part rite of passage. They showcase a young woman’s purity and readiness for marriage. They also remind young Hispanics of their religious responsibilities in a society that often lures youth to gang membership, drug and alcohol abuse, and irresponsible sexual behavior.

Many quinceaneras begin with a special Mass with the honoree’s parents, godparents and her court (damas and chambelanes, usually 7 to 15 pairs of friends and peers) in attendance. After the Mass, the party is a fusion of tradition and contemporary fun. It often includes pampering with hair and makeup, a photo session in a formal dress, and a dance featuring traditional waltzes and music selected by the quinceanera.

Sweet 16

A sweet sixteen is a major milestone in every girl’s life. At this point she is starting to figure out her place in the world and she wants nothing more than a spectacular party to celebrate it.

While a Quinceanera is steeped in tradition and has a religious element to it, a Sweet 16 is more of a social ritual. To make it a special event that will live up to her expectations, have your teen’s favorite artist or band create a custom-made invitation and send it out well in advance.

If she loves the outdoors you can set up a tent city for her friends. Add in a scavenger hunt, a popcorn station and gold plated necklace a candy bar and you are sure to have a night to remember.

Funerals

4. Funerals

A funeral is a time for family and friends to gather, pay their respects and mourn the loss of a loved one. Depending on the culture and religion, this may involve an open or closed casket ceremony, a visitation or a wake, as well as burial or cremation.

In Western culture, a full service funeral generally occurs within days after the death. This involves a formal service at a church or funeral home, with a viewing of the body and one or more eulogies. It can also include a procession to the final resting place, whether that be a cemetery or crematorium.

Other cultures have different funeral traditions, such as an African funeral which can last for a week and involves a feast. Often, these events are followed by a post-service reception at a venue such as a funeral home, a church, the deceased’s home or the family’s own home.

Pool Parties

Pool parties are a refreshing way to beat the heat of summer. Whether you host one at your house or a friend’s, make sure to have plenty of water and snacks on hand for everyone.

Set a summery table with fresh in-season veggies like carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes skewered in a color gradient for easy snacking. Add a dip or a fruity vinaigrette for an added pop of flavor.

For a fun drink, make cucumbers and honey into a soothing spritzer. It’s a refreshing choice that will cool down the crowd without adding any sugar.

Plan a themed party with fun games and food that will help guests get into the vibe, such as shark-themed musical chairs or hula-hoop contests with cardboard scuba masks. Ocean slime is having a moment, so find a recipe and turn it blue to match your theme. Pass it out to kids in clear favor bags with plastic fish for a sweet touch.

Graduation

A graduation is the successful completion of a course of study, usually at an educational institution, for which you receive a diploma. Also referred to as commencement or convocation, it usually takes place in a special ceremony.

Earrings are ornaments that are worn attached to the earlobes or other external parts of the ear. They have been a major form of jewelry throughout most civilizations and historic periods. Historically, there have been many different styles of earrings. Some examples include carved classical reliefs of coral or lava, Roman glass micro-mosaics; enameled renaissance-revival styles; and fringe or tassel earrings in gold, pearls, semiprecious stones or precious metals.

A graduation is a huge accomplishment for anyone, whether they are graduating from high school, college or further studies. It is a moment to be celebrated, and what better way to celebrate it than with the gift of a beautiful piece of jewelry?
