Most importantly your jewelry should match your bridal gown. Your jewelry should match the style of your dress – classic, contemporary, elaborate, chic or simple and elegant. While selecting jewelry consider the neckline of your dress. If the neckline of your bridal dress is high, you can choose a sleek chain with a special pendant or charm. If the wedding dress has no neckline and is strapless, your choice of bridal jewelry would then be a choker with matching earrings. With a low or open neckline, you could wear either a choker or a large necklace with complementary earrings. And with a wedding dress that is very ornate in the front, you could forget about the necklace part entirely and choose danglers or chandeliers for earrings.

Gemstones Tanzanite Buying Tips 4:43 am
One of the most important factors to be considered while buying a tanzanite is its color. Although, tanzanite is considered a three-colored gemstone, the most celebrated hue is deep blue with shades of purple, violet, red or orange. Usually tanzanite has good clarity level, so one should prefer an eye clean stone. Larger carat stone have deeper color which looks attractive.
Tanzanite Buying Tips
Tanzanite is usually worn as pendant, necklace or earrings. When set in rings, the gemstone is very often bezel set to protect the gem. Tanzanite looks great with diamonds or white sapphires as the brilliance of these stones complements the deep luster of tanzanite and provides more strength to the setting.

Photographing Jewelry with a Scanner
Use a scanner for photographing jewelry, it’s really a great and simple tool for quickly getting beautiful, artistic shots. You don’t need to be a camera buff to get good results with scanners. Basically two-dimensional jewelry is easy to shoot this way. You can get wonderful photos of earrings, necklaces, and other pieces that can be laid flat on the scanner glass.
For most pieces, you can easily work within the capabilities of scanners and get professional looking jewelry photos. It’s hard to shoot three-dimensional pieces.
With a scanner, you can’t easily get good pictures of things that don’t show to their best advantage when lying flat. “Standing up” shots of rings and cuff bracelets are nearly impossible to photograph with a scanner. You’ll get a much better shot of these using a digital camera.
There are some simple techniques used by the professional to obtain dramatic results with minimal effort. The following examples show the basic setup that should allow anyone to achieve results they can be proud of.
- The keys to good jewelry photography are sharpness, lighting, exposure, and in the case of gemstone photography, trying to create some sparkle.
- Good jewelry photography needs sharp, crisp focus.
- Another key to good jewelry photography is the lighting.
- Proper exposure is also key to good jewelry photography.
