Wear Purple For Peace!

In honor of tomorrow, May 16th, being National Wear Purple For Peace day, this week we are going to talk about the color purple!

Purple may be a secondary color because it can only be created when red and blue are mixed together, but it is a lot more than that..

The color purple has long since been associated with royalty and nobility because they were the only ones who could afford to have purple clothing..

There are all kinds of purples from electric purple to pearly purple and J Laur Store has it all!

Here are some of the fabulous purple jewelry pieces that we have in our store:

You Are As Welcome As The Flowers In May!

"You are as welcome as the flowers in May," was a quote first said by Charles Macklin, and it is the perfect quote for our first post for the month of May!

May is known to bring flowers as we transition into springtime and thus, it is only fair that this theme comes about in the jewelry we wear!

There are so many beautiful kinds of flowers that it can be hard to the right flowers for you or a loved one.  Therefore, this week, J Laur Store decided to break down the meaning of different types of flowers for you..

A more popular flower that can be found in jewelry often is the rose - but the colors have different meanings...for example, a pink rose symbolizes friendship, while a red one means love.

Another flower, the carnation, also has different meanings based on its color - a white carnation represents remembrance, and a yellow one is meant to be cheerful!

If you're curious about the meanings of other flowers, you can check this out: Flower Meanings

In the meantime, you can also see the gorgeous pieces J Laur Store has in its collection that feature pretty flowers:

April: The Month of Diamonds!

In the world of jewelry, the month of April is known as Diamond month; it is the birthstone for April, but you don't have to be born in April to sport the sparkly jewel..

Diamonds were first discovered about 3,000 years ago in India; they became instantly valuable because of the way in which they were able to refract light.  During the middle ages, the popularity of the Diamond grew exponentially as other sources for Diamonds were discovered in places like Brazil and Australia.

During recent times, Diamonds have become a symbol of our culture, from the highly coveted pink diamonds to the popular saying, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" - which couldn't be closer to the truth.

For many girls, because of the Diamond's tendency to be more on the expensive end, a more affordable route to achieving that Diamond shine comes from other forms of sparkly jewelry!

Here at J Laur Store, we offer several sparkly alternatives:

Silver Orb Earrings

Sparkly Heart Earrings

Take A Chance!

Believe it or not, April 23rd is officially 'Take A Chance' Day!  Although it might not be a famous holiday that is widely celebrated, it sets a good tone for how we should approach our daily lives.  If no one ever took a chance, many of the advanced technologies we surround ourselves with today wouldn't even exist!

Taking a chance can be considered risky to some people, but what's important about taking a little risk here and there is that it can be just that; little!  You don't have to skydive or become a lion tamer in order to be a chance-taker...the little things in life can make a great impact as well!  For example, changing up your look or experimenting with jewelry is always fun!

There is never a bad time to try some new jewelry that you wouldn't normally wear because adding a nontraditional accessory to your ensemble is just what you need to mix up your style and make a statement!

Here are some of the bolder, and risky pieces at J Laur Store for those of you ready to take a chance!

Purple Crystal Ball Hoop Earrings

Silver Spiky Hoop Earrings

 Gold Butterfly Earrings

Time To De-Stress!

In honor of it being National Stress Awareness Day, we are going to talk about some retail therapy!

Although it is a commonly used phrase, there is actually no such thing as retail therapy...the term was first coined by the Chicago Tribune in the 1980's around Christmas - due to the bustling shopping season and the fact that many people had taken up on the trend of "shopping their troubles away"!

This is because retail therapy is basically defined as shopping with the primary purpose of improving the buyer's mood and disposition.  What many people don't take into account is the fact that too many retail therapy sessions can send a person into debt, having the opposite effect of the intended purpose!

...Which is why it is important to be a smart shopper and make purchases that will last and that are multipurpose, like the jewelry at J Laur Store!

This pink pearl bracelet is extremely versatile because it can be worn to a fancy dinner, or a casual party:

While this watch is super fashionable, it also serves the purpose of giving you the time of the day - which will always come in handy!

Spotlight On: The Zodiac!

The division of the ecliptic path of the Sun into twelve equivalent regions first originated with the Babylonians...and the twelve symbols at each section are representative of the constellations seen at these times of the year.  In recent years, the Zodiac has come to symbolize much more than constellations, however.

Take a look at this necklace featuring the Zodiac:

Zodiac Necklace

The Zodiac has been used to determine a person's expected personality, love life, and fortune!  Many people use their Zodiac sign to check their horoscope each day and live by what their sign says about them, while others tend to stray from their expected tendencies.

From March 21 to April 20, we are under the sun sign of Aries, the fire sign that is represented by the ram.  A few of the common characteristics of someone born an Aries are their activeness and tendency for adventure...they aren't the type to sit around, and will always be up for trying new things!

Regardless of whether or not you were born an Aries, take advantage of this month as a time to try new things and be adventurous...even if you just start with a bold piece of jewelry!

Here are a few pieces from J Laur Store to kick off your adventure:

Pink & Silver Heart Earrings

Silver Initial Earrings

Red Quartz Fashion Watch

Kiss Me I'm Irish!

One of my favorite things about March (besides my birthday, of course) is March 17th - St. Patrick's Day!  I'm part Irish, so I especially love this holiday!  And even if you're not Irish, getting all decked out in green and shamrocks and chowing down on some Irish bacon (corned beef) and cabbage is just as fun!

The Irish have celebrated St. Patrick's Day for over 1,000 years, in celebration of, you guessed it, St. Patrick on the anniversary of his death.  St. Patrick was known for bringing Christianity to the Irish.  The story behind the shamrock is that he was Holy Trinity using the leaves of the famous plant - and now, the four-leaf clovers are known for being lucky!

To this day, the holiday is celebrated internationally, boasting the oldest and largest parade in America - held in New York City with over 150,000 participants!  Another famous tradition on this day is the dying of the river that runs through the city of Chicago - they use 40 pounds of dye that keep the river flowing green for several hours!

If you're wondering how you are going to commemorate the special holiday, you should consider a piece from the J Laur Store collection!

This lovely necklace is a great symbol for St. Patrick's Day so be sure to order yours before they sell out!

Color Palette of the Week: Pink & Red!

As we move into March, it is only a short time until Spring makes its appearance...the days are getting longer, the sun brighter, and I hear birds chirping already!

With Spring, comes warmer temps and what better way to welcome the rays then with a warm jewelry palette to accentuate the season's hottest trends?

The color red, constituting a large portion of the warm color palette, is a color that goes back centuries and was once known as a color only worn by royalty or the wealthy people who could afford red dye.  Now, red signifies a lot more than this and has come to symbolize love, fertility, and happiness!  To learn more about the meaning of the color red, visit Story of Red!

Here are some of the pieces to show off your taste in red:

Red Necklace with Rhinestones and Matching Earrings

Flower Bracelet with Red Accents

The color pink, also known for its warm undertones, simply screams 'Spring' and is a beautiful asset to the color palette.  The word pink, stemming from Pinken (a flower) is more than appropriate for this time of year because of the arrival of flowers and new beginnings!  You can read up some more on pink right here: Pink Matters

And here are the new pink pieces:

Pink Rose Color Earrings

Breast Cancer Ribbon Bracelet
