Black Stainless
Stainless Steel Jewelry
When stainless steel was first introduced in 1915 through the New York Times, stainless steel jewelry did not even seem a remote possibility. Today, however, this non-corrosive and cheap alloy, also known as inox, has found a strong foothold in the jewelry industry.
Stainless Steel Jewelry: Why Steel?
The popularity of stainless steel jewelry can be attributed to the following:
-
Affordability: Not every one can afford to buy expensive gold, silver or platinum jewelry. Even if one does, it is normally limited to a single gold or platinum piece. However, with stainless steel jewelry, customers can buy plenty of them at the price of a single gold jewelry.
-
Durability: Due to the small amount of carbon used during its manufacturing, stainless steel is more durable than most other metals. Also, the presence of chromium with iron ensures that the alloy is rust free.
Stainless Steel Jewelry: Options
Options are numerous in terms of designs, range and even price when selecting stainless steel jewelry. Some of the most sought after stainless steel jewelry include:
-
Rings: Ribbed, beveled, interlocking rings and mesh styled rings are some of the popular options. Colored or colorless cubic zirconia crystals embedded in these ring make them look precious. Black stainless steel rings are also available in unique designs, such as tribal prints or skull designs.

Black Pearl
The Pleasures of Black Pearls
The pleasures of black pearl jewelry are as neverending as black pearls are mysterious and exotic. Whether a woman is wearing a black pearl pendant or pearl earrings, or some other kind of black pearl jewelry, the effect is utterly enchanting. The pleasure an alluring woman receives from wearing bewitching black pearls cannot be matched by any other jewelry.
During the opulant days of the Roman Empire, the desire for pearls was like a high fever that could not be lowered. Their monetary value was ernomous, to the point where it is recorded that a Roman general financed an entire miliary campaign by selling one pair of pearl earrings. They had belonged his mother; no doubt she suffered from the loss of her precious pearl earrings, even if her son won his battles!
As the centuries went by, pearls never lost their allure or value. In European society, due to the expense and exclusivity of pearls, pearl jewelry was only worn by the higher ranks of society, such as members of the nobility or royalty. In some places, it was even against the law for anyone below these ranks to wear pearls in any manner, whether as jewelry as as adornment sewn onto clothing.
Presumably, such display by a lower member of society could only reveal that the pearls had been stolen, as no one but the very rich could conceive of buying them.
Ah, but what about the black pearls? The fascination of black pearls stems in part from the fact that the black-lipped oyster that produces the black pearl is far more rare than the oyster that produces the “ordinary” white pearl. Of couse, white pearls have their own delicate charm and beauty, and have been the foundation of the historical focus on pearls noted in the paragraphs above. But as the awareness of black pearls grew, so did their allure, and they became objects of great desire. In the 1700s, Catherine of Great of Russia wore a strand of thirty black pearls, which would have been a necklace of tremendous value. In 1850, the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, acquired her fist black pearl, and
thereafter became very enamored of these dark gems from the sea. Her obvious attraction to black pearls influenced other wealthy and powerful European women, and black pearl jewelry became the mark of a true sophistication.
While the cultured, or cultivated, pearl industry has made both black and white pearls accessible to all women of elegant taste, the black pearl will always be in a class of its own, owing to the special oyster which is required for its creation. The black pearl may actually be of a beautiful dark green or grey color; a pure black pearl is extremely unusual. Besides the darkness of color, another important aspect of black pearls that contribute to their beauty is their iridescence, that quality which creates different colors depending of the angles of light.
There is no end to the fascinating and sensual qualities of black pearls.
