New Fall Designs!

I’ve been busy in my studio creating for fall. From Turquoise to Jasper to Agate and everything else in between!

Some of the new designs are a bolder and chunky look, some with charms and others with more wire sculpture.

I’ll be adding new pieces through-out the next month in my shop. Stop by often to browse, see what’s new and start early on your Christmas shopping list!

All Things Wood In Great Gifts!

Trying to get a jump on your Holiday Gift buying? Looking for that perfect Holiday Gift? Then look no further than here…. I received a great gift, a stunning wine topper, made from Brazilian wood. The design was crisp with clean lines, just small enough from my female hands.

An incredible wood craftsman, my dad, makes all things wood and has for many years. He designs and creates some of the most dramatic wood wine toppers and cork screws, pen – pencil sets, and much more.

He buys some very exotic woods such as Zebra, Brazilian, Hawaiian, Jerusalem, and even your more common varieties such as Cherry, Oak, and Maple. He then handcrafts the wood pieces on a lathe, making intricate cuts, rounding corners, and filing down the wood pieces, into these awesome creations! Once the wood pieces are complete, he then starts the process of putting all the pieces together, kind of like a jig-saw puzzle.

For more information and how to purchase any of these items, please contact him via email.

Turquuoise the Gemstone

Turquoise is one of the most beautiful gemstones created by nature. It is a soft and porous stone with colors ranging from blue to green, resulting from the presence of either copper or iron accented by black or brown veining. Sleeping Beauty and Kingman turquoise from the Arizona mines in the southwestern United States are the most sought after and valuable of turquoise, but it is also mined in China, Peru, Mexico, Tibet, Siberia, Africa, Australia, and Europe.


Types of turquoise include Sleeping Beauty and stabilized turquoise, chalk turquoise from China, African turquoise, yellow turquoise, white or magnesite turquoise, howlite and mountain jade.

Turquoise is believed to promote health, communication and good fortune, protecting the wearer from evil. It is the traditional birthstone for December and the gemstone for 11th year wedding anniversaries.





The Gallery below and our shop contains many different designs with Kingman Turquoise, Magnesite Turquoise, and White & Green Howlite.

Shallow or Deep End of the Pool……

I’m not one to just wade around in the shallow end; no, no…I’m more of a jump in with both feet, head first into the deep end of the pool kind of person! I’ve never done anything ‘half-way’, always the first on the block to make her mark, and that is the same way with my jewelry business, Timeless Designs.

Timeless Designs came out of my thriving passion for creativity; a hobby at first we’ll say but it is growing little by little into a strong business. Because I’ve ‘jumped in with both feet’ doesn’t mean I wasn’t prepared either...I did my homework, research, and spend the last year working in the industry to develop a name and business, that hopefully will someday be my Retirement. So, I’d like to thank those who are responsible and whose names have not been changed because their innocence was long ago lost!

THANK YOU….
…to my hubby Chris who’s camera I’ve fine tuned to take such awesome pictures! You can borrow it anytime Hun!
…to my son Dalton who inspires and challenges me in the studio; some of these designs are his creations, just Fascinating!
…to Mom & Dad who taught me at a very young age that I can achieve anything, now see what you’ve done!
…to my son Jeremy who encourages and supports me even on his mission!
…to Gayle & Lee for the great write-ups, meals at shows, support, and endless feed of gemstone information!
…to CiCi and Shadow (Executive Cat & Jr. Manager Cat, respectively) for inventory control!
…to Kelsey (Middle Manager Cat) who comes into the studio to remind me when I’ve missed ‘bedtime’.
…to all my Friends & Family for supporting and encouraging me to keep trying and never give up!

So, now we know who’s responsible – right!

See ya soon!
Annette

Hair loss – what we need to know about it?

It may be disturbing for anyone, no matter woman or a man, to find out that he is loosing hair every day! But how can we tell if we are really loosing our hair? What can we do to prevent it?

As for the first question - it is normal to loose between 80 and 100 strands per day. These numbers are of course specific for each individual but in most common cases are close to the mentioned values. So if you happen to loose more than 100 strands per day, you should take precautions to prevent the process of hair loss.

There are few very important rules that we should follow in order to stop the hair loss and maintain strong and healthy hair:

- Do not wear your hair on really tight ponytails!

- Do not treat your hair too often with different cosmetics procedures as hair coloring. You should not treat your hair more than once per six months.

- If you experience problems with your hair and nails you probably have a lack of vitamins and proteins and you should consult with your doctor.

- It is always a good advice to cut your hair shorter in occurrences of hair loss.

- Check if your parents have experienced problems with their hair, the hitch might be in your genetics.

These are some very simple advises on how to take better care for your hair. The thing you should never forget is, that the stress in you life might cause many problems including hair loss. So before worrying about your hair please consider a vacation or a short break from your work or troubles. Try to spend more time with your love ones and your body will award you for that.

Choosing the perfect haircut

To have an outstanding hairstyle, first of all you need to have well prepared and finely selected haircut. When having to choose your haircut, you have to consider the characteristics of your face and its lines.

If your face is considered oval, then you can enjoy all types of haircuts. That kind of face form, allows you to make experiments.

For a face with round form, you need to have your haircut done so that your face appears longer. You can lift up your hair in the upper part of the head, leaving smaller amount of hair besides and behind the ears. The asymmetric haircuts are the most appropriate for this case.



Having a square face will lead you to the same issues. Make a side hair line, or make your hair in small curls which should not go under the level of your ears.

A triangle face form needs a haircut, which widest part is leveled with the bottom of your ears.

If your face has an oblong form it is recommended for you to have a haircut, which covers the ears. Long and straight hair won’t fit you, because you need to visually shorten your face.

Еeverybody’s characteristics of the face, are something that we should also consider, when we visit а hair saloon. If you have a longer nose – choose a haircut with volume and long bang. For a small nose appropriate are curls without a bang.

If you have long neck, leave your hair long and let fall, on the other hand if you have a short neck – short haircuts will visually fix this issue.

Tall ladies should choose haircuts with volume, while sorter ladies should choose, straighten hair.

These little tricks will help you correct the form of your face and emphasize on your better and most attractive sides.
