Celtic & Claddagh Jewelry

The History of Symbolism, Legend & Lore
History of Claddagh Jewelry
Claddagh jewelry is modeled after the claddagh ring, which first surfaced in Ireland more than 400 years ago. The claddagh ring has a rich history; if you aren't familiar already, the claddagh ring is shaped to resemble two hands grasping a heart with a crown on top. Legend & lore has several explanations for the creation of this unique and popular pattern.
One legend is that a man named Richard Joyce while on a voyage to the Mediterranean was captured by Armenian pirates, and spend years in captivity as a result. While held captive he learned the skills necessary to become an artificer of precious metals. Joyce eventually was returned to his homeland, despite protests from his owner, who had wished he would marry his daughter. Joyce pursued a career in crafting gold and silver jewelry.
Many myths abound as to how Joyce came up with the symbolism he used in his claddagh jewelry, but the true origins are not known.
Yet another legend follows a similar story; it tells the tale of Richard, a young man who was kidnapped by Spanish pirates one day while fishing with other men in his family. Richard and his family were sold into slavery off the North Coast of Africa. Just before being captured Richard had met his true love, and lived in fear that he would never see her again. Richard longed for his beloved, and each day to remember her he stole a minute amount of gold from the slave masters shop where he worked. After years had passed he was able to create a ring with the gold he gathered. Richard's hope was that one day, if freed, he could present the day to his love. One day Richard was able to return to Ireland, and found his beloved awaiting him. He offered her the claddagh ring for her devotion and patience.
The second story regarding the origin of this style ring and other claddagh jewelry is much more highly regarded, because among other things claddagh jewelry has come to symbolize love and devotion.
Claddagh jewelry has become very popular in Ireland over the centuries, and many of the pieces fashioned after this style are often kept as heirlooms among family members. At the time of Joyce there was a Claddagh village, which remained as a self contained community until about 70 years ago. Jewelry fashioned in the claddagh style is considered part of Irish legend & lore, and remains an important part of Irish history. Today claddagh jewelry is worn as a symbol of Irish heritage, friendship, unity and love among people in all cultures.
Tradition has it that if a claddagh ring is worn on the right hand, with the crown turned inward the wearer is still searching for love; if the crown is worn facing outward love is in the air. For those that wear the ring on the left of course, a person is said to be spoken for.
Celtic Jewelry Traditions
Celtic jewelry, like claddagh jewelry is rich in history and tradition. The term "Celtic" typically refers to people who are descendants of different provinces of western Europe, who lived during the time around the birth of Christ. Most Celtic history, legend & lore have been passed down from generation to generation via word of mouth, or through artwork and symbolism. Much celtic jewelry displays symbolism that represents life, death, the change of seasons, love and human spirit. Celtic jewelry is often embedded with many symbols that have been passed down from as early as the 8th century B.C.
Each of the symbols used in celtic jewelry have different meanings. Some were created by artisans, whereas others were created by tribal members.
Knotwork Designs
Celtic knotwork designs are perhaps the most well known celtic symbols; crafted by artisans these designs are woven into rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants and wedding bands. Symbols may reflect power and unity, and more commonly spiritual belief and kinship among people and eternity.
Other common designs crafted by Celtic craftsmen included:
Triskeles - The Triskele represented the importance of the number three, which symbolized the Threefold Sister Goddess worshiped by the Druids.
Spirals - This symbol was often found on Dolmans and gravesites; the true meaning of the symbol isn't quite known though many believe it represents the outer soul or higher spirit forms, the idea of growth and expansion and higher energy. A double spiral represents equinoxes.
Animal Motifs - Animal motifs represent a variety of different traditions; Birds were thought to represent death transitions; Boars symbolized masculine power; Bulls represent virility and wealth; Cats represented guardians; Cranes suggested punishment or deception; Deer represented profound changes in life; Dragons represent magic and power; Eagles were linked to God; Serpents the cycle of life, particularly when it shed its skin.
Crosses - The cross evolved in the British Isles, with the earliest form dating from the 9th century. Legend has it that St. Patrick created the first Celtic cross by drawing a circle over a traditional Latin cross. The circle is thought to represent eternity and God's love which is endless. The four arms of the cross have been used by other cultures to denote the four elements and the four parts of man (mind, body, soul and heart).
Chevrons - These symbols, resembling arrowheads linked together, represent power.
The oldest and most recognized of these symbols is the single spiral. Growth, expansion, cosmic energy, all of these ideas could be represented by the single spiral. The tightly wound symbol has been used by many other cultures since the time of the Celts. Many believe a spiral spinning in a counter clockwise direction is representative of the larger summer sun.
Celtic knots are considered the most ornamental pattern associated with the Celtic people. Celtic knotwork patterns were discovered all over Ireland in early settlements and at burial grounds. The idea that life is never ending, and that people are re-born at death is incorporated into the idea of loops or knots with no beginning and no end. One of the more well known celtic knots is the Trinity Knot, which is actually a combination of Celtic and spiritual heritage.
Whether purchasing claddagh jewelry or celitc jewelry, you can be assured that you are investing in gems that are rich in symbolism and tradition. Celtic and claddagh jewelry have been around for centuries, and will continue to be popular in many cultures and regions of the world.

Solutions for Flavourless Frizzy Hair

Rain is definitely the weather that many girls hate. Why? Because once a drop falls on beautifully straightened hair it frizzes up. Many girls don't appreciate the electrocuted look at all. Here are some tips that can avoid or minimise frizzy hair.
The quickest and easiest way to hide this hair problem is by tying it up into a bun immediately. Not everyone is equipped with the finest products and hairdryers on the spot so it's best to make sure you always have a hair tie or clip. In the end when you undo that bun you will have lovely locks.
Try not to touch your head too much. The more you touch your hair, the more moisture gets left on the strands. You need to avoid getting any form of liquid close to your hair.
Using hair products that contain silicone can help keep it tamed. The silicone helps to seal the strands as well as give it a shiny look that feels silky. Silicone can be found in selected products such as shampoo, conditioner, hairspray and gel. Check the label to be sure.
Before going straight to the hairdryer, allow your hair to air dry. The last thing you want to do is use a brush on wet hair. Using brushes on wet hair causes split ends. In other words you will have denser and thicker hair which is ideal for moisture to attack.
Your hair needs to be completely dry before you step foot into the damp and down weather. Your cuticle is the main component that causes frizz. It will only take five minutes for your hair to cool down after you use a hot iron or a hairdryer.
If you are the kind of girl that doesn't use styling techniques then you could easily add gel before it is completely dry. No styling is involved as it is just another layer of hair product. You want to avoid the spikey rocker look when going to work so ensure that the gel has a light hold styling option.
Try to avoid using a hot iron too often. Moisture is attracted more to the intensely dried hair. Also comb your hair instead of brushing it. Brushing splits the strands and leaves it susceptible to frizz.
Anti-frizz serums are a great way to avoid frizz especially you have stubborn locks. These serums are quite popular and can be found in any cash and carry wholesaler.
Sometimes it seems like your hair has a life of its own and without hesitation it will decide to frizz. Take care of your gorgeous locks. If you look after it now and consistently, you will look and feel beautiful all the time.

Cosmetic Surgery Basics - Blepharoplasty and Other Eye Surgery Types
By Antoinette Boulay | Submitted On July 19, 2006

Developing bags under the eyes is a side effect of aging. What happens is simply that in response to gravity and the decreased skin elasticity, the protective layer of fat around the eyes starts to droop. Although bags under the eyes do not mean much in terms of how healthy you are, since we have a visual and mental association of droopy eyes with the aged, this not only makes the face look older, but it also gives the person a tired, worn appearance to us. Through an eye bag removal procedure, you can look younger, more energetic and perkier.
Causes of Eye Bags
A number of aspects can in fact play a role in the formation of eye bags. At times, there is excess fat at the back the eyelid's support wall of, giving them a baggy look. The pressure of the fat around the eyes can cause ligaments, muscles and skin to slacken. The relaxed skin itself may cause the bag simply as a result of too much skin in the area. For others, the muscle in the lid has thickened or the upper eyelids form a bag due to drooping eyebrows.
These conditions each have specific names and specific procedures for correcting them. More than one of these conditions exists at once in many patients, and all must be fixed in order to improve the appearance of the skin and to remove the bags.
Blepharochalasis, for instance, is the term for the combination of thinning eyelid skin, protrusion of skin folds in the eyelids, and lid swelling. When there is an overgrowth of the eyelid muscle and a protrusion of fat, Hypertrophy of the orbicularis muscle results. Dermochalasis, on the other hand, is simply extra skin. Brow ptosis, is when the upper eyelids are baggy from drooping eyebrows. A capable surgeon will be able to recognize the cause or causes of the eye bags prior to surgery and talk about options with the patient ahead of time.
Eye Bag Removal Surgery Effects
Eye bag removal procedures are done to rectify the puffy bags that form below a patient's drooping upper lids or eyes. These are which can bags make the patient look older and tired, and for some, can even interfere with vision. Eye bag removal surgery can remove the puffy and droopy look around the eyes, but it will not eradicate crow's feet or dark circles under the eyes. Nor will eye bag removal surgery lift sagging eyebrows.
The procedure for removal of eye bags can also be used to fashion an upper eyelid crease in Asian eyes, which is called a superior palpebral eyelid fold, however it cannot eliminate natural traits associated with ethnic or racial genes. This procedure is often used along with other surgeries, such as a browlift of a facelift, to alter the overall appearance of the face and the skin on the face.
Procedure
Eye bag removal surgery entails a number of small incisions made under the eyelash. This lets the surgeon remove excess skin and fat which causes eye bags to appear. Normally the procedure, called Blepharoplasty, is performed both on the upper and lower eyelids. For the upper eyelids, a strip of skin may also be removed, but the skin is removed in a natural crease in the eyelid in order to lessen scarring.
The procedure generally involves staying all day in hospital or an overnight stay, depending on when the procedure starts.
Following the Procedure
After eye bag surgery, stitches are typically removed from 3 to 7 days after the surgery's completion. When all stitches are removed, the patient can usually recommence normal activities. Looking and feeling much better, of course.

Trending Men's Tribal Jewelry
By Lora Davis | Submitted On February 06, 2017
Recommend Article Article Comments Print Article
Men usually do not wear any type of jewelry except for a watch and maybe some type of ring or wedding band but times are changing. One trend for men today is wearing tribal jewelry. These antique jewelry pieces include silver, copper, various organic designs, and iron. This type of jewelry may be worn for fashion but could also be to reflect character, wealth, belief, and culture. Excavation studies have revealed that tribal jewelry has existed before 10000B.C. and originated in Africa. You can purchase tribal jewelry online or in jewelry and antique stores.
Copper tribal jewelry
This type of jewelry is generally antique and is adorned as bands and head sticks mixed with bronze. A head stick has an arrow type structure that can be held on the side of your ear. It then appears as it is raised from top of your head. They are used to make rings in various styles and shapes. Circular barbells, bent barbells, earlets, captive rings, and eyelets look striking in cooper. For men who have pierced their labret, which are their lips, adopt labret studs. One piece of copper tribal jewelry that reflects the true form of this jewelry is thick copper anklets.
Silver tribal jewelry
This form of jewelry is mainly worn as a single piece like a neckpiece, earrings, or bracelet. When made from silver it is generally left unpolished in order to maintain that crude look. Silver body jewelry that is highly finished is very expensive but also fashionable. The bangles are usually carved with the designs of skeletons, animal heads and more. On the pendants, you will see molded faces of various Gods.
Organic tribal jewelry
If a man wants to look like a true tribal man then they need go organic. These pieces are made of animal parts, plants, shells, bamboo, wood, and amber. For making labret, earrings, septum, rings, and more, mineral stones such as quartz, agate, onyx, obsidian, amethyst, and more are used. The jewelry that is made from the horns and bones are generally used as a headpiece.
Iron tribal jewelry
This type of jewelry is very masculine and heavy. Make sure that you can wear this type and can carry it off. Iron casing of bangles and necklaces portray a savage way of thinking. The tribes of Middle Eastern and West African countries generally wear this tribal jewelry. To create a contemporary look sometimes iron tribal jewelry is blended with stainless steel. This jewelry is usually worn as thumb and toe rings, anklets, neckpieces, and bangles.
To wear jewelry you do not have dress up as a tribal man. It is very easy to match a piece of jewelry with whatever you are wearing for business or casual.

Peruvian Blue Opals - How to Spot a Fake
By Antoinette Boulay | Submitted On May 13, 2005
Recommend Article Article Comments Print Article
If you're looking for opals, then a Peruvian blue opal should be your gemstone of first choice. These gems are becoming more and more rare as time goes on, as they can only be mined n the Andes mountains near San Patricio, Peru. The unfortunate result is that some mines are producing different types of gemstones and dying them blue in order to pass these stones off as Peruvians. (Luckily, if you're looking for an opal inlay ring, this is less of a problem, as the fake stones tend to be used for beads). Opal inlay rings made with blue opals would be a beautiful addition to any jewelry collection.
There are a few ways for you to tell if the Peruvian blue opals you're looking at are not real. The most obvious clue is that fakes will be relatively cheap - around $30-$40 for an entire strand of beads. Since the real ones are growing more and more rare, you would never be able to buy a string of beads for so cheap. After all, jewelry made with the real thing will be several hundred or even thousands of dollars.
Generally, if a company is making fakes, they will take white opals and then work to dye them. If you're worried that you might be buying fake blue opals, you should take a good look at the stones. In a lot of cases, you can tell that it is just a dyed white opal by looking with the naked eye. The blue coloring will be uneven, especially when you turn the stone so the light hits it from different directions. This is very useful if you're thinking about buying an opal inlay ring with blue opal, since you won't be able to tell by the price in some cases, and the weight will be difficult to determine due to the rest of the ring.

Non-Invasive Chemical Peels to Improve, Rejuvenate and Smooth the Face
By Mags Whyler | Submitted On March 08, 2017
Recommend Article Article Comments Print Article
Expert Author Mags Whyler
Don't despair at the state of your skin because a spotless, line-free, flawless complexion is lying just beneath the surface, just waiting for discovery. People have chemical peel treatments to gain a cleaner, fresher and younger appearance for their face. The treatment is a great way to lessen, or take away wrinkles, uneven tone, acne scars, age spots, superficial scars and other blemishes.
Chemical facial peels aim to remove the dead cells from the skin's surface to allow new healthy skin cells to grow back, creating smoother looking skin. It's a non-invasive treatment used to restore youthfulness to wrinkly, blotchy, sun-damaged skin and can also be used to treat blemishes, scars and help reduce the signs of ageing.
The peels penetrate into the dermis; the inner layers of your skin, and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin, to produce new collagen and elastin. They also increase cell turnover, resurfacing the skin, resulting in improved texture and skin tone, giving your face a fresher, smoother and more youthful appearance.
These unique non-invasive skin peels can give dramatic results for:
Dull lifeless skin
Ageing and sun damaged skin
Irregular pigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Active acne
Mild acne scars.
As well as improving the skin's appearance, chemical peels remain a widely used, useful part of cosmetic treatments and they can help treat a number of skin concerns. Chemical peels are most often used as an anti-ageing treatment, to improve acne and discolouration or simply to freshen up the skin.
Benefits of chemical skin peels:
Pain free with no skin flaking or shredding.
A chemical peel is a good treatment if you're suffering from acne and within a few months can help clear up inflammation and even acne scars.
It will promote growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which will thicken the skin and improve the resistance to the effects of ageing.
The chemical peel will improve your skin's texture and tone, making your face look and feel fresher.
Cold weather in winter can have a terrible effect on the skin, causing it to become dry, as the moisture gets sucked out of the epidermis, leaving it itchy, tight and uncomfortable. Fine lines begin to appear deeper and your skin starts to look rough and flaky. The older we get, the more wrinkles, fine lines, acne, mild face scars, sun damage, freckles and pigmentation start to show on our face. Chemical peels fight these things by slowing their growth and appearance or by diminishing them completely.
