Contemporary Jewellery

I have decided to update my look. I think what can make a difference is wearing some Contemporary Jewellery. I personally am not fond of costume jewellery but prefer silver or other precious metals.

I must say that I think I quite like the Gavang Collection which is recommended by Marie Claire Magazine. They are made of silver with gold plating. They are modern and stylish. I just might get myself something!

Pearls

I love pearls. National Pearls specialise in Pearls obviously. They sell both fresh water and salt water pearls.

They guarentee they have the lowest priced pearls and they even recommend your shopping around for prices. They also have a 90 day satisfaction guarentee. They also guarentee that their Akoya pearls will be appraised at four times their price or you can get your money back. There is nothing nicer than buying some pearls and they are instantly worth 4 times what you paid. It makes buying them a great investment that you can really enjoy.

They offer free delivery when you spend over seventy – five dollars.

My Solitaire

My Solitaire sell a whole range of jewellery, including a birth stone collection, a childrens selection, men’s jewellery, wedding bands and pearls. You can also buy loose gem stones and diamonds which is a rare thing. You also get a certificate of authenticity. This is very important to have especially for insurance purposes.

What really strikes me is their Black Diamond Jewelry Collection. You can buy yourself Black Diamond Earrings or Black Diamond Studs with Matching Black Diamond Pendants and Black Diamond Rings!

Also if you are getting engaged, you can design your own special engagement ring. You can chose a diamond shape, cut, size, colour and clarity. After all getting engaged is a special occasion that needs to be marked with that special ring.

Shipping to the US is Free on all Jewellery Products.

What is really impressive is that they have a buy back policy. They will buy back their jewellery for 70% of the cost price which is excellent value. And if you want an upgrade, they will give you 90% of the cost price of your original purchase. Knowing that, you know that you cannot go wrong with a jewellery purchase especially when they are obviously happy to buy back their own products.

 Now just in case you were wondering…. I do not yet own any black jewellery. And in case you forgot…. my birthday is on the 15th June! LOL!

Marks & Spencer’s – M&S


Marks & Sparks as it is sometimes affectionately known is a well known huge department store. They are in my list of favourite shops.

You can say that Marksies is split into quite a few departments but mainly they do:-

  • Clothing (Men, Women, Children & Babies) and Lingerie
  • Footwear / Shoes (Men, Women & Children)
  • School wear / uniforms
  • Gifts & Flowers
  • Books
  • Toys
  • Technology
  • Garden, House & Home
  • Furniture & Furnishings
  • Wine
  • Insurances
  • Costume Jewellery
  • Holiday Shop
  • Technology

Both their quality and prices are really reasonable.

Their grocery section has a vast range of delicacies at reasonable prices. They also have ordinary food too. The biggest drawback is they generally tend to sell their own range only. For example they will only sell their own brand water, which is not particularly good. But over all the rest of the items are better than the average supermarket. However you cannot get groceries online presently. You have to go in store to buy them. Its well worth a visit. You can find an M&S on almost every high street.

They now offer Free delivery on orders over £30.00.

They have a loyalty scheme called the “& More”. It is credit card based. The more you spend, the more you earn in rewards to spend back at M&S. Its not a bad rewards scheme and you can use the card elsewhere to earn rewards for M&S.
