This Month.. Hurricane Relief fund Vermeil Breast Cancer Awareness New Products... The Specials for September Coupon Code - SEPT2005

So I am deeply saddened and distressed by the terrible devastation and loss caused by Hurricane Katrina. My thoughts and prayers are with the people afflicted, especially our customers, friends, and family members.

Hurricane Relief fund

During the month of September, 5% of every sale will be donated to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund.

Victims of Hurricane Katrina are attempting to recover from the massive storm. American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest hit areas of Katrina's destruction, supplying hundreds of thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. By making a financial gift to support Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts, the Red Cross can provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

	Vermeil
We have finally begun adding our Vermeil line to the website. Vermeil (Gilded Silver) ) is a layer of gold plated over sterling silver. This Gold-plating process developed in France in the mid-1700s. France banned production of vermeil early in the 19th century because the process involved the use of mercury. A safe electrolytic produces present-day vermeil. Where the plating has not bonded, the silver will tarnish beneath the plating. On gold-plated surfaces, this will emerge as dark, blemished spots. On decidedly ornamented surfaces the irregular darkening adds an aged effect to the piece. If you are incorporating vermeil and gold-filled pieces together, keep in mind that the vermeil will darken, but the gold-filled will not. New.. »

	The Specials for September
The Birthstone colors for September is Sapphire. Blue is Sapphire's main color. Blue is also the favourite color of about 50 per cent of the population, men and women alike. This color, which is strongly associated with sapphire, is also linked to emotions such as sympathy and harmony, friendship and loyalty. These emotions belong to features which are permanent and reliable - emotions where overwhelming and fiery passion is not the main element, but rather composure, mutual understanding and unshakeable trust. Sapphire blue has thus become a color related to anything permanent and reliable, and this is one of the reasons why women in many countries settle on Sapphire for their engagement rings. Sapphire symbolises loyalty and faithfulness, while at the same time expressing love and yearning. The most famous musical example for this melancholic shade of blue can be found in George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". Sapphire's blue color is also evoked where clear competence and controlled brainwork are the issue. After all, the first computer ever to wrangle a victory from a chess grandmaster and world champion was named "Deep Blue". All products that have Sapphire in the name are 5% off for this month.
