The Jewellery NOT list for '09

Submitted by debra on Mon, 12/21/2009 - 20:24.

O.K Some ones got to do it...

Some things must be said ...

Here's my TOP 10  picks of injustice to jewellery starting at from worst to "worstest'(I know it's not a real word)-so worst to extremely bad may be a better explanation..

Please note this is just my personal rant it is mean't to humour more than offend!

Starting at number 10...

10:WAVE RINGS

You know the ones-the ring your man refuses to give up because some ex skanky girlfriend gave it to him when they went to Bali one Summer..(30 years ago).It's bent and beaten up and of course has "wave's" on it.Your man has never actually  surfed(unless it's porn on the net).Demand it be removed,or ply with beers and prise it from him in mid snore.Tell him to clean up his act,then together check out the "male jewellery porn" on my site.

9:DIVA

Unless you under 12-don't step inside...Period!

8:NAME NECKLACES

Are you intellectually challenged?Do you have special needs,that make it necessary to have your own name"tattooed"  around your neck?  I guess it is handy should you become lost in a  shopping mall.

So Carrie wore one in Sex in the City-but that was years ago...Move on people!!!

7:THE PRINCESS CUT DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING in white gold.

The same one all your friends have-solitaire diamond,narrow 18ct white gold band..

DULL-check!

BORING-yep!

UNIMAGINATIVE-totally!

This is the new Princess Diana ring...yawn..

6:SKULLS

So you wannabe a rock star?Skulls will alway's be somewhat Gothic cool.But for now they are overdone,overused,and over worked.From Karen Walker to Meadowlark-seems every jeweller jumped on that bandwagon.Unless you can afford the true Macoy(such as Theo Fenell,or Seanne Leone)-leave it to the Gothstars..

5:SILVERMOON

A store that sells all things nasty in the jewellery world,crappy imported goods -made by poorly paid Third World workers from  exploited Countries.Don't suppport it!Their advertising bill boards read "never go naked'-but frankly I'd rather be bare assed than wear this rubbish.

4:CRIMES AGAINST GOLD

Orange fake tan,leathery hands-adorned with masses en masses of gold rings..Teamed with more gold chains and the obligatory belcher chain with a fob clasp,finishing off the look with more tacky gold  bangles piled   high to the elbows.Found in places such as Surfers Paradise.YUK!!!

Old gold digger...

 

3:MICHAEL HILL

Does it need explaining?If you buy a wedding ring from a chain store jeweller,you might as well purchase your wedding dress from Glassons.So what if it was a "bargain"-it SO looks it!

 

2:DYBERG KERN

Danish are known for good design and this outfit certainly packs the marketing punch.What annoy's me is they market their range as quality contemporary jewellery "handmade"..Oh,yeah,right!!Perhaps somewhere along the industrial chain some person did touch it with their hands,but your paying far too much for mass produced plated nickel,or brass..Don't be fooled ladies!

..AND THE WINNER IS!!!!

1:PANDORA

Is there anything more commercially contrived than those hideous bracelets?Thousands of beads to choose from-all ugly,all tacky..They are the "crocks" of the jewellery worldAny jewellery advertising campaign that uses words such as "special moments" or "..cause your worth it"-needs to be avoided.How they became so popular is beyond me..

Sheep mentality I guess!

 

That's my NOT list for '09-from the "bitch of Bling"

Merry Christmas and a safe ,happy new year.
