Layers & Layers of Glass

Fuse layers of specialty Dichroic glass at high temperatures in a kiln and what do you get. Truly one-of-a-kind glass pendants, earrings and bracelets! As defined by Wikipedia, Dichroic glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metal oxides which give the glass Dichroic optical properties.

A little known fact….It was originally developed by NASA and its contractors for use in satellite optics and spacesuit visors.

The word Dichroic is derived from two Greek roots; ‘di’ for two and ‘chroma’ for color. So Dichroic really means ‘two-colored’. Looking at the layers and layers of glass, it is hard to tell just how many colors are actually created.

The fun aspect with Dichroic glass is that it has different color variations depending on the light refraction; creating some of the most intriguing pieces of jewelry.

Visit our Etsy shop to see a selection of bracelets, necklaces and sets featuring Dichroic glass pieces.

Timeless Designs ‘Management Team’

Here at Timeless Designs we have a great staff and a management team beyond any other. So, I thought it was time to meet the successful Management Team behind the Staff at Timeless Designs….

First, there’s Sr. Management, CeCe, who oversees all communications from Timeless Designs.

She often holds meetings with the Financial Advisor just to make sure we are on target.

Second, there’s Middle Management, Kelsey, who oversees our two Internet Shops and blog via telecommunications from her "West Aspen Condo".

But she takes a more ‘paws-on’ approach in overseeing any office construction or movement.

Last, but not least, is Jr. Management, Shadow, who mostly oversees the photo shoots and brings in new investors and buyers. He’s usually quiet, but gets pretty vocal in the presence of the Financial Advisor.

As you can see, they take their jobs seriously. Here at the Company Strategic Conference, held at the "East Hampton compound", they discuss the coming year’s goals, finances, and direction.

So there you have it! The Management Team that makes Timeless Designs a success!

My Picks for Fall/Winter 2008-2009 Color Trends

So I’m no expert, but I wondered about the colors trends for this Fall/Winter season. So I’ve been surfing around looking, hoping to stumble across the big Fall/Winter 2008-09 Color Trends. Several hours later, I’m dizzier now than when I started! It seems, depending on where you go, who you think is the top designers or whether you want to go by Paris, London, France, Asia or New York, Miami, or LA styles, that the color trends are as vast as the cities that influence them.

So here’s a handful of what I found in fashion color trends for this Fall/Winter:

>Feminine playful romance of the forties in a timeless elegance; soft yellows, blues, and pale pinks and greens, accenting with softer beige or faux whites

>Rich, warm and deep colors of the earth; carmel or chocolate, rust, deep raspberry and walnut, pumpkin and oranges

>Casual, yet bold and icy; taupish beiges, khaki, earthy browns, icy blue tones, and olive greens

>Modern and urban; asphalt grays, deep dark shades of red, pink, violet, and green. Highlighted by the monochrome of silver, gold or copper

Whatever the color or style, it is a balancing between deep dark, intense colors to modern and casual neutrals. Giving each individual a sense of unique style all their own.

Traveling the World for Treasures in Gems

Traveling the world for business or relaxation and seeing such places as Asia, Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, and Australia and the South Seas. These are just a few of the many places that give my In-Laws, Gayle and Lee of Jewelry by CNC the inspiration behind their many custom jewelry designs and faceted gemstone collection.

Gayle began making jewelry as a hobby, creating unique gifts to give their many friends and family. Now just a few years later, the ‘hobby’ has become a business.

She enjoys working with the varieties of gemstones and beads that she gathers from her many travels around the world. Each piece is designed as a labor of love reflected in the many necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets, watch bracelets and pendants, which can be purchased individually or combined into Jewelry Sets.

Lee is a Registered Gemologist who deals with loose faceted gemstones, a selection which can be found on their Special Items page. He is the mastermind behind their website with regular updates and once a month ‘Highlights’ of a particular faceted gemstone. Don’t miss the Educational Section listing different organizations and Educational information on faceted gemstones, jewelry, and the Gemstone industry.

Enjoy wondering thru the world of jewelry and loose gemstones on their website.
