Think you can’t shine on a dime? Fret not frugal fashionista! A little bling is just the thing to add that much-needed dash of flash every gem-lovin’ lady needs once in awhile to wash away the worry and replace it with wonderful. FantasyJewelryBox.com has plenty of pieces that barely break the change purse, so you can “shine on you crazy diamond”! Our jewelry was meant to be worn, not to wear you. If you can afford to drizzle yourself with the real thing, we don’t begrudge you a single carat! But if you’re like most of us, getting your shimmer from CZ is OK.

Stop, drop and dazzle! Our CZ Pear Drop Earrings are stunning to the maximum, with a solitaire stud not only holding it’s own but a generous CZ drop as well. An easy, everyday earring these are also spectacularly suitable for more formal occasions. Set in top-quality .925 sterling silver, these are sure to become a fast favorite.

Simple and sweet, pretty and petite! Our Lavender CZ Heart Ring brings high shine and brilliance with a polished sterling silver setting and heart-shaped center stone accented with clear, emerald-shaped side CZ stones. Ageless in it’s appeal, it would make an ideal ‘first piece’ of quality jewelry for a young woman, or ‘just because’ gift for your girlfriend, wife, daughter or friend.

Preparing for a job interview is without a doubt one of the most stressful events of our lives. Performing well is so important, as our job often dictates not only our quality of life, but our life overall – talk about pressure! However, don’t let the stress leave you walking out of the house with mismatched socks and accessories that are fighting for attention. It is key to not only choose the right interview outfit, but also the right kind and right amount of accessories to dress for success. Keep these 3 basic rules in mind when you are putting the finishing touches on an interview, conference, or business dinner ensemble, and you’re sure to shine!

Let Your Personality Show

Accessories are designed to show off your personality and tastes, so it’s important to remember to choose pieces that are going to highlight your professionalism or your creativity. Depending on the type of job you’re applying for, you may want to consider different jewelry styles. For positions that often deal with a lot of people, choose understated, Classic Jewelry pieces that enhance your outfit. For more creative industries, look for pieces with a little more pizazz.

Don’t Be Too Loud, No Matter The Position

While there is room for some sparkle, don’t assume that because a position is at a trendy art gallery you can go absolutely crazy with your baubles. If the position you’re applying for is more business-oriented, chances are you should dress for business as well. However, you can still show some originality without breaking the business barrier. Take our gold Dove Necklace as an example. It ‘employs’ clean lines as well as a stylish feel, looking fresh and modern, but not screaming for attention.

Moderation Is Key

As a jewelry lover, I know all too well the temptation to pile it on, and pile it high! However, a job interview demands some restraint. Keep your jewelry limited to two or three pieces that complement each other. Consider teaming our Belt Bracelet with our CZ Solitaire Earrings for simple sophistication! And don’t forget to be confident – confidence is your best accessory of all!

Are you getting ready for a summer getaway? If those vacation plans include a sandy beach and lazily sipped lemonade, we’ve got just the right jewelry to keep your look as relaxed as you’ll be feeling. We know you don’t want to end up in one of those dreaded “Don’t!” photos where someone has decided to wear a necklace that covers more than her bikini! Beach jewelry should be simple, fresh and fun, not overwhelming and heavy. Check out a few pieces we think are shoreline stylin’ and poolside perfect.

Does it get more deliciously delicate than this tiny Ice Cream Cone Necklace? The attention to detail is divine, and the sterling silver construction of the cone works wonders with the CZ encrusted “ice cream”. This is both simple and stunning – a real treat!

Is there anything so instantly symbolic of the beach as a starfish? We don’t think so! Which is just part of the reason we think this Starfish Charm Bracelet is a vacation sensation. There’s also the cool sterling silver with an interesting, understated design, and an amazing wearability that looks effortless, but refined.

Calling all water-loving women. This Silver CZ Ring has a wonderful wave design accented by “drops” of sparkling CZs. It has a lot of shine that the sun is sure to make even more brilliant, but it also has a simple serenity about it, and a comfortable size and shape.

We’re confident you’ll be wearing any or all of these pieces long after you’ve returned home and shaken the sand from your sandals. We just hope you don’t forget how much fun and sun they saw this summer!

Whether you are 13 or 31, there is likely no one who knows you as well as, and can make you laugh as hard as, your best friend. It is a truly unique and wonderful relationship without which many of us would feel a touch helpless. No matter how far away my best friend moves (and believe me, he finds some pretty far away places to live!), we talk every day and he remains one of the most important people in my life. We celebrate this closeness through a shared nickname for each other that no one else uses to address us. I call him this name, he calls me this same name, and it has become as natural as can be. The name is now part of this friendship, and I light up a little every time I see it flashing on my cell phone screen.

Best Friend Necklaces work the same way, but with a little more shimmer and shine! Traditionally, a best friend necklace is one half of a whole – the two halves line up side by side to form a full heart with the words “Best Friends” etched across it. I had one when I was younger, and I loved reaching up to feel it whenever I needed a little comfort. I knew everything would be OK as long as someone out there was wearing that other half. Psychologists might chalk this up to co-dependence, but it was more the feeling of being understood and appreciated that made me feel better. And many years later, that is just as important if not more.

The days of the half-heart necklace may have come and gone, but I’ve been thinking lately about revisiting the concept with a little twist. Because my best friend is male, chances are I won’t be able to convince him to wear a Butterfly Necklace, but a skull necklace might work! FantasyJewelryBox.com offers these super sparkly Skull Necklaces for women, and these masculine Skull Necklaces for men, that I think will work as amazing best friend necklaces. They’re a little bit different from each other, just like us. But when I’m feeling stressed or a little lonely, I’ll be able to reach up and remember all is well. We aren’t in fifth grade anymore, and college and work may have left us states apart, but many miles away my best friend will be wearing the same necklace – just a little different. Because our friendship is just as important as it ever was – just a little different.

Why not break free from the tired tie and tools Father’s Day gifts this year and get Dad something he can really take a shine to?! FantasyJewelryBox.com is excited to offer a fantastically fresh assortment of Men’s Jewelry that takes affordable luxury to a new level. Chances are, your Pop doesn’t wear much jewelry beyond his wedding band, but that certainly doesn’t mean he wouldn’t love to. Many men simply don’t know how to shop for such things. They either don’t know where to look, or don’t know what to look for in a nice piece of jewelry. That’s where you come in! Whether you’re looking for a great gift for your own father, or an awesome Dad in your life, be it your husband or a close friend, we have just the thing to show him how appreciated he truly is.

Jewelry For The Modern Man

While we specialize in high-quality CZ jewelry, once in awhile we come across a stylish, well-priced diamond piece we can’t resist, like these sleek Diamond Dog Tags. Brushed stainless steel is accented by high-shine side panels and a sparkling diamond solitaire chip. The absolute epitome of contemporary style, this dog tag arrives suspended from a polished beaded chain. This is a wear-with-anything piece that is guaranteed to ‘Wow’!

Men’s Jewelry That’s Classic And Cool

Traditional men’s styling with just a hint of sparkle, these Dad Rings are a fabulous Father’s Day find. A low profile top makes them ideal for every day. After all, he’s a Dad every day! The best part is that for all the high-quality stainless steel and design that makes this ring so attractive, the most attractive aspect is arguably the price – less than $35! Dad will be so proud.
