[G497]Great Deals On Vacations
by Nara, Nar
We recently opened up an online jewelry store, and even though our inventory only consists of a few hundred products, we are super excited about promoting it and getting as much traffic as possible. We want to be a great source on information about natural stones, how they form, where to find them (go on treasure hunts), and of course jewelry which has been crafted with them.

Natural Stones such turquoise and blue opal are beautiful and precious. They can inspire artists, and complete the perfect look. Asoreforbeauty.com is proud to announce that it's creating itself as a source for information and products relating to sterling silver, stainless steel, and natural stones.

Owned and operated by women, our site has a specific collection inspired and gathered by the owner herself, Nara Tamazian. Her goal is to make elegance and class affordable to everyone. Our Sterling silver designs, which are inspired by David Yurman, cost only a fraction of what you will find in David Yurman NYC, or Saks Fifth Avenue. Yet the beauty of each item is phenomenal.

Sterling Silver is jumping higher and higher in cost, and our silver prices still don't reflect this hike. Because our inventory was purchased before the price increase, we can still afford to sell silver at the same rate as two years ago.

And our natural stones are not composite stones, mixed from turquoise shavings and compressed. Although some items have been created in such a style, they were chosen to be a part of our collection anyway, because of their sheer beauty and timelessness: the finest coral, sapphires, rubies, Swarovski crystals, and even "glass".

Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and staining it an ideal base material for a men's jewelry and watches. In fact most of men's jewelry is either stainless steel or tungsten. It can be re-finished by any jeweler and, unlike silver, will not oxidize and turn black.

Opal is a mineraloid gel, which can range from clear through white, yellow, orange, red, blue, green, shore, rose, pink, slate, olive, brown, magenta, gray and black. Usually, the most rare and dear considers reds against black.

Onyx is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (have some purple and blue shades) commonly, specimens of onyx available contain bands of colors of white, tan, and brown. Pure black Onyx is common, and perhaps the most famous variety, but not as common as Onyx with banded colors.

Turquoise is rare, valuable and ornamental stone for thousands of years. The colors of turquoise are blue, blue-green, and green. Hardness and richness of color are two of the major factors in determining the value of turquoise; while color is a matter of individual taste, generally speaking, the most desirable is a strong sky to "robin's egg" blue. However, in Tibet, greener blue is preferred more. Being a phosphate mineral, turquoise is inherently fragile and sensitive to solvents; perfume and other cosmetics will attack the finish and may alter the color of turquoise gems, as will skin oils, as will most commercial jewelry cleaning fluids. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may also discolor or dehydrate turquoise. Because of that, cosmetics, including sunscreen and hair spray, should be applied before putting on turquoise jewelry, and they should not be worn to a beach or other sun-bathed environment. After use, turquoise should be gently cleaned with a soft cloth to avoid a build up of residue, and should be stored in its own container to avoid scratching by harder gems. Turquoise can also be adversely affected if stored in an airtight container.

Swarovski crystal contains approximately 32% lead to maximize refraction and those crystals allow light to refract in a rainbow spectrum.

Gemstones that are associated with each month considered as Birthstones. They may be precious stones, such as diamonds, or semi-precious, such as Lapiz Lazuli. They considered lucky for their particular months and their healing powers heightened during their months. Therefore, if you are born in December then your Birthstone is the Turquoise, and you will get the most benefit from turquoise by wearing it in December. For October, it is Opal and so on. Since each birthstone has heightened powers during its month then some people buy a set of all twelve and rotate them for each month. Astoreforbeauty.com offers all kinds of gemstones.

Getting a deal out of EBay auctions is an art. Buying from auctions can be a costly proposition or a very economical option depending on your tactics. Buy wisely by learning from my (sometimes costly) experiences.

1. Is the Seller Trustworthy?
Both EBay and Yahoo auctions have seller ratings. Read these and their associated reviews. If the seller has a great rating from buying and a poor one from selling, you probably don't want to buy from them. Look at both praises and complaints as they may or may not apply to what you are bidding on.

2. Read the Description Throughly
It is very easy to read what you want to see in an Ebay auction rather than what is actually written there. Read both what is in the Ebay description and what is NOT in the description. Often your mind will want to fill in details with what is your dream interpretation. You need to re-read the description until you find out whether what you are searching for and what the seller is selling match.

* Used or New?
Is the item you are buying used or new? If it doesn't say new, you are most likely buying something that is used.

* Real or Fake
Is the item you are interested in "real" gold, sterling silver or pearls? For example, a description saying: "gold necklace for sale" does NOT say 14 kt gold or 18kt gold. That most likely means a gold COLORED necklace which may or may not have actual gold metal. This also applies to pearls as many call plastic fake pearls simply "pearls".

If the seller is selling beads, those beads could be plastic, glass, stone, scrap metal, crystal, chips, wood, clay, gemstone or some other material.

* Item Details
Does the EBay description really say how much you are getting, how long the item is, and quality of the item? Selling by the pound can be a great deal - or a horrible deal.

* Beware of Hidden Costs
Look at shipping and handling costs. I've seen many penny auctions that have $13 or more shipping. Some auctions even have handling fees.

* How Fast Will it Ship?
I've been seeing a fair amount of auctions that note that the product will ship in 2 months or that shipping time is 2 months. If you are buying for a particular holiday, be sure that you will get the item in time.

3. Is it a Bargain For You?
Many times an EBay auction will say that the items are "worth $XXX". In many cases, that price is inflated. Often you can find similar items much cheaper tah "$XXX" at normal stores. (However, the auction price may still be cheaper than you can by elsewhere - it really helps to know how much you usually pay for items!) If you are only interested in some of the items in an auction, adjust your bid to reflect how much you are willing to pay for just those items unless you plan to sell the rest as that is how much you would pay for it elsewhere.

4. Auction Fever
Compare prices on the net at the same time to avoid overpaying. Know that usually you can get the item later elsewhere. Wise buyers know to walk away when the price is higher than the item is worth to them.
