This amazing creation, rightly described as jewelry for the table, is available for bidding in our online auction.

Michael Hero designs can best be described as “table jewelry.” Michael Hero has over twenty-five years of jewelry design and manufacturing experience and can be found in Major High End dept stores such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom’s and Macy’s . Each design is a piece of art, sculpted to be admired from every angle as the back, sides, stand and clips are as intricately finished as is the beautiful front.

Every Michael Hero design is meticulously hand-crafted by carefully selected and trained artisans. Their model-makers hand carves the mold into which the items are cast in the highest quality lead-free genuine pewter. The casted items are then plated in gold, silver, brass or nickel.

The design is vividly brought to life with custom blended pigments that are hand mixed and hand applied. Michael Hero items are “Crystallized with Swarovski”, the world leader in cut crystal since the 19th century. Every stone and crystal is individually hand set to rigorous specifications ensuring the highest quality creations. Every crystal in the Michael Hero Collection is a genuine Swarovski® crystal. Michael Hero has a quality branding license agreement allowing the items to carry the prestigious “Crystallized with Swarovski” label, featured on the back cover of the romance story card.

A head band invariably puts me in mind of either my grade school days or my gym rat days but these Phillip Lim headbands I could get used to.

“3.1 Phillip Lim takes an ordinary silk headband and turns it up a notch with crystals accents. Lim’s Pleated Star Headband still has a bit of a casual feel but it’s still dressy enough that you could wear out for drinks and not feel as though you should be exercising. And no need for constant readjusting as it features an elastic in the back for a more secure fit. ($225)”

AskMen.com offers some good advice on how men can choose jewelry that their lady love will delight in.

The first bit of advice is to listen to her. See what she comments on in magazines or while shopping. While listening to her, look at what she does wear for jewelry. If you take note of her jewelry each time that you see her, you’ll get an idea of what she prefers. If she never wears a watch, she probably doesn’t want one.

They also caution you not to even think about buying a ring unless you have some serious commitment behind it. A ring is heavy with the connotations of permanence and a woman will to be confused by the gift of one, even if it is a frivolous, inexpensive ring.

If you still need advice, do not go to her girl friends. That just isn’t a good thing to start, but, if she has a sister, that will be the best way to get ideas. You really can’t go wrong with birthstones and if you are approaching a significant event or anniversary, a charm bracelet with a charm symbolic of the occasion will, well, it will charm her.

You also can’t go wrong with chokers and necklaces and Swarovski crystals will be a specially nice touch. Only if you are totally smitten should you advance to more expensive selections. An expensive piece of jewelry is almost a prelude to “that ring”, so don’t go there unless you intend for her to one day wear “that ring”.

Whatever you get your lady love, rest assured that a gift of jewelry will melt a cold heart and heat up a warm heart and whether it be “that ring” or a simple necklace, you’ll find it in our online jewelry auction at a price that is up you.

“Gorgeous Brazilian designer Simone Coste takes a unique approach with her designs. She uses stones mined in Brazil, quartz, onyx, chrysoprase, amethyst and others and instead of merely mounting the stones in gold she uses the stone as the sculptural concept for the ring, letting the sold serve as an inner support. The effect is striking, although perhaps a tad bulky on the finger. But in a world full of designs that look increasingly similar it’s refreshing to see someone step out in a new direction.”
