Vintage Meets Modern with Lulu Frost Pieces

Salazar inherited her eye for high-end vintage and estate jewelry from her maternal grandmother and her involvement in the jewelry business. Salazar’s family has been involved in jewelry for several generations, and her experiences with jewelry growing up are what led her to create Lulu Frost in 2004.

Styling Your Pandora Bracelet

Pandora bracelets are a fantastic addition to your jewelry collection. They’re easy to personalize, versatile, and allow you to change out charms easily when you feel like its time to mix it up. Here are a few basic steps to styling your Pandora bracelet.

Pick a Theme. First, you should decide what you want the theme of your bracelet to be. Some people choose to select beads that tell about their lives, while others pick a distinct theme for the bracelet. Your theme could be a color, an idea, or even a place. Pandora has a large selection of beads to choose from to make your bracelet special.

 Choose your Bracelet. Next, choose what style of bracelet you want. Pandora makes bracelets in gold, silver, and leather. Depending on your taste and the theme you’ve decided to go with, choose the right one for you.

Pick your Charms. Once you decide on what your theme is and which bracelet is best for you, it’s time to pick out your clips and beads. Clips are beads that snap on to the bracelet and stay in place instead of twisting on and moving around like normal beads. These help to divide the bracelet and keep the beads in place. Pandora offers many beads of different shapes and sizes as well as different materials, such as gold, silver, glass, enamel, and pavé. While you may not be planning on buying all of your beads at one time, it’s important to keep your final goal in mind and use that plan to help choose which beads you buy first.

If you’re looking for edgy designer jewelry, come visit us at SWAG in the NorthPark Center. We are a Pandora retailer in Dallas. Or check out our website for trendy jewelry you’ll love!

Victorian Style: Extasia Jewelry

Victorian style, or Victorian fashion, is derived from the trends in British culture during the reign of Queen Victoria. The Victoria era lasted about two-thirds of the 19th century and saw many different changes in style. The jewelry style that emerged from that era is one that can still be seen mixed into many modern designs. No designer exhibits this style better than Extasia Jewelry. Some obvious design elements inspired by the Victoria era and seen in Extasia Jewelry include glass intaglios, cameos, and hand-carved details.

Glass Intaglios and Cameos
 Hand-carved glass intaglios and cameos were extremely rare at the beginning of the 19th century. They were treasured possessions that could only be found adorning the exceptionally wealthy class. Shell cameos began to see a resurgence in popularity once it became easier to carve shells over stone. Intaglios and cameos became increasingly popular once the industrial revolution began and manufacturing techniques made production easier and more affordable. Machines could make chains, press glass, and stamp metal. The nobility were no longer the only ones with these beautiful pieces of jewelry accenting their wardrobes.

Charm Bracelets 

Part of Extasia’s line features charm bracelets with cameos, intaglios, and other handcrafted pieces. Queen Victoria herself is popularly credited with popularizing the charm bracelet and charm necklace.

While thousands of words and hundreds of books have been penned on the topics of Victorian jewelry, there are a few main points that are true to the era and to the design of Extasia Jewelry:
• There is a strong focus on figurative motifs and sentimental subject matter, hence the cameos often being carved to the likeness of a loved one, or gifting someone with a personalized charm bracelet.

• The style commonly uses unusual materials (such as colorful beading), innovative techniques, non-precious stones, and production manufactured metal work.
