JEWELRY BY MEXICO D.F.

I just returned from Mexico where I have visited which is like my second family and with whom I was fortunate to celebrate a very emotional dates. As sure you know, I feel real fascination with this country for many years.

Taking advantage of my stay, and how could it be otherwise, I went "jewelry by Mexico." I share with you the experience, especially the chance to meet great professionals there. Unfortunately, in Europe we know that in the Aztec country there are great creators beyond goldsmiths working classic Mexican silver and whose work we see in many tourist destinations. So I speak of designers and firms that bring together the good work with historical baggage.

The key figure for me, to reflect the oldest and international silver craftsmanship is Tane. This firm has evolved from its traditional motifs - as gallos- the most famous modern and contemporary design; his creativity is extensive and covers a wide variety of products.

I love the line items for the house they designed and have included parts of 18 carat gold in their jewelry creations. Tane was the company chosen to perform, for example, the glass of the Grand Prix Formula 1 GP of Mexico. If you go to Mexico, do not forget to visit one of their stores or spaces located in the Palacio de Hierro, I recommend it!

On the other hand, I want to highlight the work of Daniel Espinosa, a dynamic designer, versatile, constantly evolving and with a great capacity for work. Daniel has created a unique style and away from the preconceptions we have of Mexican silver. Daniel Espinosa, a man whom I had the pleasure of meeting, gave me the passion for his work and innovate and expand markets, wishes him a long and fruitful career.

His pieces are made, mostly in gold plated silver. Many of her jewels have accompanied celebrities on red carpets of Hollywood; and he has not only seduced his Mexican countrymen, stars like Madonna have looked at the occasion.

Daniel Espinosa signature is present in European markets such as the Spanish. If you do not know your job, here I leave some examples:

After visiting Daniel, continue my way through what would be the equivalent to the Serrano street in Madrid, Avenida Presidente Masaryk in Mexico City.

And there a store where you can find wonderful jewelry gold pieces with diamonds, rubies or sapphires ... This is one of the top multi country is: BERGER, a place that brings together national and international trends, since distribute all major brands of watches and jewelery in addition to his signature. To tell all first-hand, I went to visit me Sergio Berger, who, with her characteristic elegance, showed me his store and its wonderful pieces. Sergio, like your company, radiate professionalism and charm ... what more could you ask for when we go jewelry!

BERGER has several stores in Mexico and spaces in Palacios de Hierro, if you prefer the malls.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as me, know these gems that come to us from across the Atlantic.

Mere alliance or with attractive diamonds?

You get married in church or town hall, you can not ignore the alliances because this jewel symbolically and solemnly sealed your commitments. While some couples prefer simple rings and without artifice, others choose models crimped diamonds.

Tideboxes: History and tradition

Initiated by the Romans, the presence of alliances in wedding ceremonies is a very ancient practice already met in antiquity. If on the left ring finger, the jewel traded between spouses to signify their union, especially their mutual consent.

In those days, this ring already represented love, commitment, loyalty and respect. The jewel was then a simple iron ring. And only during the Christian era that the metal is replaced by gold. Over the centuries, the custom spread among the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Hebrews. Symbolic of the alliance are also the same.

However, the way to wear the ring differed from one civilization to another and that even in our time. Indeed, among the British and Russians, for example, is rather on the right ring finger the ring that throne. In our time, tradition has it that the groom who preciously alliances before the ceremony.

Tideboxes : innovate with diamond crimped models

Marriage is an event both unique and exceptional in the life of a couple. And I remember every moment I decided to opt for a gold model set with diamonds. For me, only a diamond wedding band can summarize this day, even if its price is very high compared to a simple rod alliance. Otherwise, on the selection of gold, I have long procrastinated between the rose gold and yellow.

However, once I discovered the white models of alliances on gold and diamonds Baunat, I immediately fell in love with this precious metal. I especially fell for a gorgeous pave diamond ring full circle, for its sophisticated touch.

Even if the wedding rings will adorn more and more rich color gemstones like ruby ​​or emerald, I prefer this simple and understated gem. Moreover, the alliance of two or three intertwined rings is also beautiful. Only downside, the ring is too bulky for me.

Tideboxes: manual

Remember that the alliance brings to life and you'll never oblation. So do not be mistaken when purchased. Indeed, it is a jewel that we can not exchange because the model chosen does not please us, or because the gem bothers us every day.

To remedy this situation, we decided to take us ahead in terms of the choice of ring model. Above all, we chose together to be certain that the ring suited us both. The ideal is to choose two to three months before the wedding, if the couple plans to enrollment within their alliances. Because, apart from selecting the style of the ring, we must also deal with texts to burn.

Finally, to avoid the errors of taste, I accompanied my covenant with my engagement ring.

How to Take Great Photos of Jewelry

The first time I started to still life photography, it was to give a helping hand to a friend who launched its online website selling jewelry. Since I'm already improved a lot and I'll be happy to share my techniques. Let us guide you!

Make sure you have the right equipment

Wondering if your Nikon compact camera is good enough to introduce you to the still life? Yes, rest assured, there's no need to replace the device unless you want to specialize in this branch and make your job later. However, make sure the focal length of the camera, because if it is between 30 mm to 50 mm, you can only do wide shots.

Indeed, a long focal length of at least 100 mm is required if you want to dispose of shots close to photograph jewelry. Otherwise, to avoid unsightly net effect for this type of pictures, a tripod is an essential accessory for all photographers of still life, amateur or professional. Moreover, at least to interact with the device in my photo shoots, I buy a remote trigger. Therefore, I rarely manipulates the equipment, thus optimizing stability.

Also, make jewelry is only possible with a support. A small side table will do nicely provided the furniture is still in good condition. I opted for a stable cabinet and without any defects on the surface, avoiding to choose a design medium that could steal the jewelry showcase.

Now comes the lighting. Indeed, since the shooting takes place indoors, I strongly recommend the use of a source of artificial lighting. At least the advantage of still life is freedom in choosing pictures of timetables, since natural light is not essential. And ideally, the light scattering is uniform to correct color differences. While other photographers prefer the continuous light, I preferred the external flash to the light output, identical to daylight.

Techniques and settings

Since the objective of photo shoots is to showcase the beauty of jewelery, I do not care about the background while this is not the case for other areas of still lifes. So, I do close-ups of jewelry designs that will be later published on the online store. And unlike many ideas, this exercise is not easy, especially if the necklace or bracelet in question is set with precious stones.

My tip? To avoid reflections on the photographs, I place the jewelry on a uniformly white support. Yes, too much light kills the light. That's why I use a lot also flash if possible to associate with a reflector used to illuminate dark areas.

Otherwise, to bring out every detail of jewelery, I switch to macro mode, with a small aperture, which is synonymous with a narrow depth of field. Concerning the white balance, I adapt it depending on the nature of my light source. The shutter speed will be about the minimum because the photographed subject is stationary. The key is to minimize blur genera moved by the device, for clear, sharp images. As for sensitivity, ISO 100 shots amply sufficient to very good quality.

Anyway, before each shot, do not hesitate to make many developed until the completion of the cliché suits you. And to end this post, here's a video explaining the speed of obscuration.

The more sober at the eccentric, there is everything in the field of fashion jewelery: to make and wear according to his tastes.

Woven beads and Brazilian bracelets: the timeless

Generally made of seed beads, the beads strung creations are the subject of more or less complicated techniques: various methods of "threading" of varying difficulty based on the number of son or beads used in each loop and their available (online, flowers, rafters ...).

Among the threadings "complex", braided beads are the most common because it provides a conclusive result from a minimum technique: just make 3 single threadings (beads on a wire line) and then braiding between them. One can vary the beads and their size, their alternation scheme, add strands (braided son 4 or more) ... To realize these jewels, you need a loom and a hook.

The material is the same for Brazilian bracelets, you will merely son of cotton.

Adorable jewelry and easy to make polymer clay

Polymer clay cooking, better known by his little FIMO name is a bit like plasticine only better: one can give it any shape you like, make the connections easier the most complex, and most importantly make him retain the shape that you chose. For this, a single oven and the dough is enough, however, very easy to work without prior experience.

A return to childhood a few hours time, which enables the development of genuine small figurines sometimes very fine and detailed: to wear on a ring, bracelet, pendant ... You can get the FIMO in all leisure stores Creative (Cultura, Dalbe ...) and connecting elements (ribbons, hooks, clasps).

Unusual: creations of electronic components

To create your own jewelry PCB components, simply to have available a soldering iron, tin wire (DIY store) and recycled or recovered from old electronic cards elements. The basic components are the resistors (small strips of different colors), capacitors (cylindrical) and inductors (coils of copper wire): a perfect start in the realization of simple jewelry.

From these small things we can compose rings and pendants, whether or not related to the tin using (beware of allergies ...) or agent of wire, more expensive but also malleable. Earrings made with small diodes will also rage!
