 ===Jewelry===
 Dainty silver chains and bracelets are accessories of the past. Big bangles and hippie beads are the latest trend in jewelry. Cuffs and thick bright bracelets are in every store for this year's spring and summer season. Just like many of our mothers back in their day, the longer necklaces the better. Bright jewel tones, blinging gold, and unusal decals are the items to look for this spring and summer.
+There are different levels of the jewelry industry along with different specialties and people who make jewelry as a hobby. Mining the stone is at the beginning. It took years of the right elements and reactions to form a single stone. The next step is a gem cutter who examines the gem "rock" and decides the best size(s) and cut(s) to shape the stone into so they get the most out of it and the best quality or grade and value possible. Once the stone is cut to a fine gem, an artisan or designer takes the gem and creates a dazzling piece of jewelry. After the gem has been paired with the gold or silver of the artisan/designer's choice, it is sold to a wholesaler ([http://www.teeda.com Teeda]) who then turns around and sells it to a retailer ([http://www.zales.com Zales]). The retailer sells this from a physical store, an online virtual store, tv ([http://www.jewelrytelevision.com JTV]), craft fair, or a combination of these, etc.
