			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mineral corundum has two more famous names &#8211; ruby and sapphire. It’s interesting that the colors don’t seem to be similar yet they come from the same rock, so to speak. When it comes to choosing a gift of jewelry it can be difficult to choose the between the red and blue version of this beautiful mineral.</p>
<p>When choosing between a ruby and a sapphire you might not really have a bad choice but you are looking at a steep price tag so it does require some careful consideration.  There is another very durable option to the ruby vs. sapphire conundrum that is much more affordable though.  You can buy jewelry with <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/ruby_round.htm">lab created ruby</a> or sapphire and end up with a piece that is just as beautiful for a much smaller investment.</p>
<p>These lab created gems use the same mineral as natural rubies and sapphires. The items created by jewelry makers that use these <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/blue_sapphire_round.htm">wholesale loose cut gems</a> are very affordable and can make the giving of two or more presents a strong possibility. Their 8.5 hardness is similar to that of the mined stones and they are also free of occlusions that can make the natural stones appear cloudy. Durability, clarity and affordability are all huge considerations to consumers in this difficult economy.</p>
<p>They offer a great advantage to the jewelry maker and distributor as well. Cost conscious consumers have been looking for ways to make a gift recipient happy while keeping debt to a minimum. That is where the vendors can help by offering beautiful pieces of jewelry well within the reach of the average working person. Using more affordable wholesale loose cut gems can make jewelry creations much more available to a larger segment of the jewelry buying public increasing both customer base and profits for retailers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In their report for retail sales the National Retail Federation reported that sales in October were up 5 percent. It is believed that early holiday promotions helped fuel this surge. Electronics and home appliance sales were up more than the previous two years. </p>
<p>The figures are modest but they have held on and kept going in the right direction. Modest gains aside there are many people out there wondering what gift to buy that won&#8217;t put a dent in future buying power. Many consumers are still worried about the economy and are looking for good deals on special gifts.</p>
<p>In this holiday season many will want to buy some jewelry for their loved ones. Jewelry crafted from <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/index.htm" target="_blank">CZ loose cut stones</a> can help them do this without going over budget. Many couples get engaged on Christmas Day and those that turn to cubic zirconia diamonds for their wedding and engagement rings can save money without sacrificing quality. This practicality can be a consequence of the economy but it works for these couples. Especially those who want to live the American dream of owning your own home.</p>
<p>For the buyer who is already married another piece of jewelry made with a <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/cz.htm" target="_blank">loose cut cz stone</a> like Tanzanite might be the perfect gift. The mined Tanzanite is rarer than a real diamond and with its unusual blue color the jewelry maker has a gem that can really impress and inspire the customer. </p>
<p>The wide variety of shapes and colors available to jewelry makers at wholesale prices can be used to make some incredible creations. The inexpensive, durable and beautiful cubic zirconia will make a great gift for even the most difficult recipients and maybe a big contributor to the retail sector&#8217;s continued upswing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s the age old question when you know someone in the business &#8211; can I get that wholesale? We all want to save money &#8211; mostly so we can use it for something else. </p>

<p>A jewelry maker that wants to get something wholesale should look into buying from a reliable cubic zirconia dealer. There are loos<a href="http://www.pehnec.com/cz.htm" target="_blank">e cut cz gems</a> of all shapes, sizes and colors.

<p>It’s not just the price that makes these high quality substitutions attractive. There is the overall beauty and quality of these loose cut cz stones that convinces the buyer to order and reorder with us many times.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are do it yourself manuals in every bookstore and plenty of articles in magazines and on the internet. Just about everyone knows what the letters DIY stand for and it has been a staple of American behavior since the original thirteen colonies decided to make up their own country. Children are assigned many projects in school that help engender this in us when we are young. Some moms leave do it yourself Valentines Day cards on the refrigerator for months, if not years, on end. </p>
<p>One area of gifts that lends itself to original experimentation would be making your own jewelry. If that is an area that appeals to you then the obvious caveat is finding a way to not spend too much when you are starting out. That is where wholesale <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/cz.htm" target="_blank">cubic zirconia stones</a> can be a big help.</p>
<p>You can pick out which metal you will use to hold the gem in a necklace, bracelet or ring and then look for the cz loose stone that matches the recipient’s favorite color. Maybe a birthstone is what you will choose. There are many different lab created gems available and they are sold at wholesale prices so your inexperience won’t punish you if you aren’t happy with early results. </p>
<p>These <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/catalog.htm" target="_blank">loose cut cz stones</a> came in a variety of cuts as well. The novice gift maker doesn’t have to worry about cutting the stone and potentially ruining it. These different styles can be an inspiration to the beginner too. The website with the shapes shown at the click of a mouse can give just the right presentation to get the imagination working.</p>
<p>When you have finished you will have something that says, “I did this just for you.” That is much more impressive than the majority of traditional store bought gifts. All you need is some time, an idea and some cz gems to make a truly thoughtful, special gift. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many special occasions to break out the bubbly. New Years, weddings and any number of special announcements can be accompanied by a toast with the sparkling drink. These occasions can also be accompanied by different champagne, the loose cut cz gem that is the color of the French favorite but comes in at a much more affordable price. </p>
<p>This fine item has many different shapes to choose from with the round being the most popular. Its unique color and hardness makes it a worthy competitor to the much more expensive diamond. The wholesale availability provides a way for the jewelry maker to reduce overhead. This can let their creative imagination go wild in how to use this stone in any number of different and exotic ways. </p>
<p>Opening a box and not seeing the same old clear cut look of a diamond can be a real surprise and enhance the reaction of the recipient. This difference also catches the eye of the buyer and makes them feel as though they have really done their homework in finding something truly different.</p>
<p>Our custom shapes also leave the purchaser of this wholesale <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/catalog.htm" target="_blank">loose cut zirconia</a> many options in how to use it. The goal is to make multiple sales not just one or two so the more ways this stone can be utilized the better the profits will ultimately be. Once these gems are delivered ideas for maximizing these profits will have you wanting more in no time.</p>
<p>That’s not to say that other cz gems aren’t equally inspiring though. The AAAAA and AAA <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/cz.htm" target="_blank">white cubic zirconia</a> gems are still very popular with jewelry makers and customers alike. The wholesale prices of these more traditional stones are every bit as helpful in increasing the bottom line for both jewelry makers and retailers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been announced that a sale of Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry will take place on December 23, 2011. It will take place in the evening which, according to the New York Times piece about the sale, is unusual. Art auctions are more prevalent in the evening than jewelry sales but it is Elizabeth Taylor’s name that is garnering the attention so evening it is. </p>
<p>The actress has had her name connected to jewels for years and even the fragrance she put out was named White Diamonds. Her wedding rings were legendary in size and price due in part to the fact that the men who bought them had a lot of money to spend. </p>
<p>It should be a great time for all who have been invited &#8211; if you like paying a great deal of money for something someone else had already bought. It promises to be some red carpet outside if the auction house would go in for such a thing. Only time will tell what these pieces will fetch, but the fascinating question will be how much are the jewels bringing and how much is Liz Taylor’s name adding to the price. </p>
<p>Many won’t be able to make it to this auction because they will be too busy working to pay for a wedding ring or anniversary gift. If this sounds like your situation, a finely crafted <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/cz.htm" target="_blank">cubic zirconia</a> jewelry item may be the answer. This lab created gem is a favorite of jewelry creators and it can be used in rings, necklaces and earrings since it comes in eight different shapes. </p>
<p>All these shapes of this finely cut jewel are available at wholesale prices from our <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/simulated_gems.htm" target="_blank">cubic zirconia</a> catalogue. It pays to give the customer what they want and the price combined with the beauty of this cz stone makes it the perfect gift. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The effort to save energy has another great benefit &#8211; when you save energy, you save money too. The Holidays are coming and for some holiday lighting has already been started. Many orange lights for Halloween have been strung and now its time to remove them and put the more traditional holiday lights in their place. These lights are all subject to personal taste but whether it’s the multi colored approach or a single color the look is festive. </p>
<p>The move to reduce energy costs has seen the advent of LED lights replacing older ones you have been using for years. Some towns and cities are even having centers set up for collection of your old lights to encourage the use of these energy conservers. It’s a win/win for you, less money spent so you can have more available for holiday shopping.</p>
<p>These savings realized from using these multi colored lights can help you in your purchase of some multi colored presents. Jewelry made from <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/cz.htm" target="_blank">loose cut cubic zirconia</a> stones offers the buyer a multitude of choices in style, cut, and color. There are as many high quality colored stones available as you will see on any house this year. </p>
<p>There are <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/simulated_gems.htm" target="_blank">loose cut cz</a> stones in virtually any color &#8211; lavender, garnet red, blue tanzanite, yellow citrine and more. Like the new LED lights these pieces of jewelry help save money for other holiday gifts and activities. The jewelry maker that offers products using wholesale cz can be very successful during this holiday season that still might see a lack of committed buying in the retail sector. </p>
<p>These moderately priced products could bring that commitment back with a new energy. There is no telling these stones from their much more expensive counterparts and the consumer will be impressed by how beautiful they can be. Fine jewelry created with loose cut cz stones will be the one of the most colorful displays this year next to the lights around the city. Cz jewelry will also be the number one way to save some hard earned money while still purchasing a terrific gift.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ruby is one of the four precious gemstones, along with diamonds, sapphires and emeralds. Only the diamond in this group is harder than the ruby. Its name comes from the Latin word which means red. Rubies do have some imperfections or inclusions but their beauty has made them very popular through the ages.</p>
<p>The color red is always an eye catcher and that certainly can explain some of this gem’s popularity too. A piece of ruby jewelry’s price is based on color, clarity, place of origin and weight. These factors can contribute to making this a hard gem to afford. There is an alternative to the mined ruby that is much more affordable and every bit as beautiful though.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/simulated_gems.htm" target="_blank">lab created ruby</a> uses the same chemical component, corundum as the natural occurring gem. This chemical creation also gives off the deep red color that the ruby aficionado has come to value. There are also other benefits to this version of the gem &#8211; it has no inclusions or impurities so it has great clarity. </p>
<p>As with all wholesale cubic zirconia stones there are many different cuts available for purchase and a full listing of these are available on our website. The effect that this gem can have in a fine jewelry setting can match anyone that a real ruby can produce. The beautiful red color and the clean look of a flawless gem are what this <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/catalog.htm" target="_blank">lab created stone</a> can offer to the buyer.</p>
<p>The purchase of these stones at wholesale prices gives the jewelry maker a great way to offer a fine looking red gem at an affordable price. It also gives the purchaser the opportunity to give a gift that is perfect in every way. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The deep blue gemstone tanzanite is rarer than the diamond. The main reason can be found in the name &#8211; only one country, Tanzania, has mines that contain the stone. These mines are also not large in number. It is a truly beautiful gem and has been very popular for more than just its rarity. Tanzanite’s deep and beautiful blue color is one of the most sought after in the world of fine jewelry.</p>
<p>It is a zoisite gemstone and unlike the diamond it is soft. The wearer of tanzanite jewelry needs to be very careful because of this characteristic. The stone was originally marketed by Tiffany’s and it has maintained a high price for that company and any others that have since used it as the centerpiece of fine jewelry. The rarity of this gem has made the price daunting to many purchasers of high quality accessories.</p>
<p>Thankfully for consumers, jewelry made with <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/catalog.htm" target="_blank">loose cut cubic zirconia</a> tanzanite is just as beautiful as that crafted from the natural stone but far less expensive. Lab created tanzanite is available in many different cuts and sizes which makes it easier for designers to create the perfect fine accessory.</p>
<p>Once you take a look at the CZ Tanzanite you can understand the tremendous desire inspired by the natural stone. Its use in any number of settings will instantly raise the value of your product and be a welcome sight to the customer looking for a rare and special gift. </p>
<p>CZ Tanzanite has another quality to offer besides price. This affordable <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/simulated_gems.htm" target="_blank">lab created stone</a> is much more durable than its naturally mined counterpart. The wearer can be more relaxed when donning their beautiful gift and when showing it off to others. A beautiful blue stone in a rare color that will stand up to everyday wear could be the perfect gift for that special someone on your list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The demand for products that are “green” has been the rage for some time. Most people want to have a positive effect on the environment and there are plenty of merchants who are willing to help. Everything from cleaning products to automobiles to packaging is being called green these days. There is one long time way to go green that has been popular for centuries. That one started when the emerald was found and became a staple of the jewelry industry. </p>
<p>The emerald is a unique stone and differs from diamonds as they have inclusions that would make a diamond imperfect. They almost always have small fissures on their surface and are oiled to enhance clarity.</p>
<p>Due to the fact that emeralds are mined they of course come with a bit of a hefty price tag. This price has always been put up with because of their beauty and rarity. There can be an alternative to these gems if their price is too high though. <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/simulated_gems.htm" target="_blank">Lab created emeralds</a> are every bit as beautiful as natural emeralds but are much more affordably priced.</p>
<p>When buying these loose stones at wholesale prices you can order a number of different shapes. There are square, octagon, oval, marquise, round, pear and the trillion shapes available. With the wide variety of shapes and sizes the <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/catalog.htm" target="_blank">wholesale CZ</a> emerald can be used to create virtually any style of jewelry in bold and brilliant green.</p>
<p>All these wholesale cubic zirconia stones are incredibly beautiful and well crafted to make them an exciting addition to gifts for all occasions. Fine lab created emeralds in rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces will be a hit with any recipient. If you’ve got someone on your list that is in love with the color green, wholesale CZ emerald could provide you with an opportunity to give them the gift of their dreams.</p>
