The Symbols of Love in Jewelry

October 21, 2009 by Surfer

Engagements, weddings, and honeymoons, all have one thing in common: Love. To celebrate that love, many people give gifts of jewelry between each other. A genuine diamond engagement ring is a classic example of a devotion to a loved one strong enough to declare a life-time commitment. However, when the deal has been sealed, there’s still many other options to celebrate your love with its symbols in your jewelry choices.

Hearts

A heat is the best symbol for love. It can make great heart-shaped hooped earrings, and classic pendants. You can add a diamond solitaire to make it extra special. Hearts come in many different designs, some with two halves, one half worn by each partner in the couple. Hearts are an easy design element to include in most romantic jewelry pieces.

Diamonds

Diamonds are also symbols of love due to their association with eternal faithfulness. Diamonds can be gifted anytime, not just during an engagement and they work well for men and women. Give a diamond watch to your significant other to show your love. Celebrate an anniversary with diamond jewelry. Pick a fancy-colored pink diamond as a gift on Valentine’s day. She’ll swoon with delight.

Circles

Another symbol of eternity is the circle. It’s never-ending and represents the Divine, in some cases. If you’re experiencing a Divine love, why not celebrate it with an eternity necklace? These are necklaces that sport the circle symbol embedded with diamonds. It’s sure to make your loved one say “oh” too.

Roses

Flowers are always romantic, but roses even more so. Jewelry with rose motifs send a message of love to the recipient and are beautiful to wear too. They can be engraved or embossed roses. They can be a sculpture detail within the jewelry. Either way, roses mean love whether fresh or created by a jeweler.

Islamic Fashion Fair

October 9, 2009 by Surfer

The first ever Islamic Fashion Fair opened its doors at Istanbul Expo Center on Oct. 1. 3,000 foreign professional and 12,000 local visitors from Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Malaysia, Indonesia, the United States, France and Germany have visited the the fashion shows.

One of the most attractive stands at the fair belongs to Haşema Tekstil (Burqini Textile). A burqini is a swimming suit version of the burqa and it is designed to hide the lines of the body. Esra Çelik, who has designed burqinis for nearly 10 years, said: “I don’t wear a burqa or use a scarf to cover my hair, but designing burqinis makes me happy. It is a new field in the textile sector and it enables me to design freely.”

Çelik said there is great interest in burqinis not only from Turkish and Arabic people but also from Muslims living in Europe. The textile company sometimes has a hard time meeting demand.

Çelik said Turkey’s secular society and the western world are biased about the burqa. “I find the arguments really trivial. Let people wear what they want,” she said.

There are also many foreign brands operating stands at the fair. Bob Singal, from Thailand, is one of them. It is his second time in Turkey and he is happy that such a fair could be opened in Istanbul. “Turkey is a modern country that connects East and West. Being a bridge between East and West brings many interesting characters. There are both modern-looking people and there are people who are wearing a burqa. It is a colorful country.”

In the history of the French indigenous watch producers, Alain Silberstein is one that must not be ignored. He began in a very low key with the production of local watches which he manufactured in Paris. Later on, the watch revolution began in Switzerland. Alain therefore joined his colleagues who were also great watch brand inventors in the Swiss nation.

There in Switzerland he established his company known as the Alain Silberstein Company notable for the production of quality watch models of the same Silberstein brand. Most of the models of the brand were luxury watches designed mainly for the rich class people. This is seen today in the exorbitant nature of the various models of the brand which gave vent to the introduction of the copy versions also known as Silberstein watches replica.

Branding

August 27, 2009 by Surfer

Branding is the process through which meaning and value are added to product. At its simplest, a brand is a guarantee of authenticity and reparability, a badge of trustworthiness and a promise of performance. Thus, a brands exist as a collection of notions in the consumer’s mind. Branding, however, can actually affect our perception of a product’s physical characteristics and thus positively color our experience of using the product. To this extent, branding is used widely by manufactures as a cost-effective means of adding value to their product. On average, branding is responsible for over 80% of a product’s added value, yet accounts for only approximately20% of its cost. Manufactures establish brand identity by various means, including naming, packaging, advertising and marketing. The idea of “brand personality” is also becoming an ever more important factor in the marketplace, as manufactures attempt to differentiate their products from those of their competitors.

Future Furniture

June 5, 2009 by Surfer

The 21-st annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair exhibit include contemporary furniture, seating, lighting, carpet and flooring, wall coverings, textiles, accessories, kitchen and bath, outdoor furniture, and materials for residential and commercial interiors. This event has been taking plase 16-19 May NY CIty.

Look at this
American Gothic Table by Atelier Takagi – Washington DC, USA, I guess it looks very nice:-) I won’t say no to have such table or chair as a part of my home stylish decoration.

“It’s not particularly anything”, says Jonah Takagi when speaking about his table American Gothic. I intuit that he actually means the table is not one particular style, but a fusion of influences instead. In fact here is a product that is the sum of its many parts, which Takagi has merged noticeably well, without conceptual or aesthetic loop holes.

Takagi holds a BFA in Furniture Design (RISD) and, like Searle and Adelman, he mentions the traits of authenticity, honesty and appropriateness when speaking about design process and final products, “the fact I grew up in New England surrounded by a blue blood Yankee, puritanical sensibility has something to do with it – the way I approach the work”. Further add into the mix his Japanese background (Takagi’s father is Japanese), an appreciation of tinker toys and a “nebulous, surreal design process”, and you might be able to imagine how this particular table could be thought up. These influences show themselves in the radial connector designed to join the legs and the black lacquer finish which unifies all of it.

The most fascinating aspect of this table is the sense of tension felt when you look at it. I had cognition of something being unsettled and not quite right, and then I realised that there are 5 legs. This one element is what gives the table its edginess; picturing it with less (4 or 3 even), I realise that if Takagi had not engineered this quirky mutation, it would be just a table with mismatched elements of style.

It would have been easy for Takagi to lose the design of this table to self indulgence and finish with a piece that was stylistically over-cooked and lacking quality of construction; instead the constraint and discipline used in its development has resulted in work that stands with assurance, in the spaces in-between styles.

Constructivism Art

May 22, 2009 by Surfer

The term of constructivism refers to a movement primarily in Russian art, design and architecture. Prior to the WW1, the Russian avant-gard, like their European counter-parts, were imspired bu cubism and futurism. After the 1917 revilution, however, th Russian avant-gard sought new forms of expression that related to the Sovirt desire to supplant the capitalism system with more democratic schemes for the production and distribution of goods. To this end, artists such as Vladimir Tatlin,Kasimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko and Wasily Kandinsky began promotion an aesthetic and approach to design that was allied to industrial prouction.

Constructivism is very optimistic style of art referring to the optimistic, non-representational relief construction, sculpture, kinetics and painting. The artists did not believe in abstract ideas, rather they tried to link art with concrete and tangible ideas. Early modern movements around WWI were idealistic, seeking a new order in art and architecture that dealt with social and economic problems. They wanted to renew the idea that the apex of artwork does not revolve around “fine art”, but rather emphasized that the most priceless artwork can often be discovered in the nuances of “practical art” and through portraying man and mechanization into one aesthetic program.

Swimming Pool Style

March 12, 2009 by Surfer

Who of us has not wished to own a beautiful swimming pool designed and built in a garden at a home backyard, aren’t you? Who has not thought of it? I guess everybody has. It’s no wonder because a swimming pool at your home is not only improves and beautifies a landscape but can turn into real unique place to relax, sport, meet with friends to enjoy swimming without having to leave home.

If you are going to build an outdoor swimming pool in a private property you have to start from an architect’s and real estate developer’s point of view. The cost of building a pool is also has to be considering intently. Then you have to decide what do you intend with – you want to dive on it, you want your kids will be able to use it without fear of drowning or you want to practice in your swim. All these things are very important and dictate the right size of your future swimming pool.

There are a lot of things you have to do to get finally what you have wished about. But after all I’m sure you get the result that is beyond expectation. Like George Clooney who purchased this 25-room Italian villa in 2001. Known as Villa Oleandra, it is said to contain an outdoor theater, a large swimming pool and a garage for motorcycles. Italian journalists and tourists swarmed to the small town of Laglio, where this villa is located, when they heard rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would wed at pal George Clooney’s lakeside estate. Clooney has some illustrious neighbors as well – designer Donatella Versace owns a home on Lake Como near the burial place of her late brother Gianni. Singer Avril Lavigne and husband Deryck Whimbey honeymooned in Lake Como a few years ago as well. Clooney really admires this home and says, “I go there whenever I can. It’s where I wrote Good Night And Good Luck and where I finished the script for Leatherheads. It’s a really peaceful place to go and write.”
