Know

Know that you are beautiful.
Know that you don't have to compare yourself to anyone.
Know that you are made in God's image, and he knows every need you have
Know that He can and will fulfill those needs.
Know that you should spoil yourself from time to time.
Know that you have good ideas.
Know that you have a voice and it should be heard.
Know that life should be celebrated, you should be celebrated.
Know that you can do what you set out to do.
Know that it's okay to start over.

I would like to wish all of my Premier Design's hostesses and customers a very happy holiday season.
As I look back on the year, it would not have been a success without your support of my business and your love of the product. Thank you for that. I say that I'm in the people business, I just happen to sell jewelry. And truly, it is because that I am privileged to meet such fantastic women that I continue to work this business. I look forward to serving you in the year ahead.

With love and appreciation,
Your Favorite Jewelry Lady ~ Meghan

sounding smart using jewelry vocab

Today I found a short article on the length of necklaces. I thought you might like to know what the different lengths are called amongst the educated jewelers. I sure like to make people think I know what I'm talking about by using "official" words. Pearl necklaces are the most commonly referenced with these terms so you'll see them mentioned more than once.

Choker - 16 in
The pearl choker is the shortest length circling the neck. While a pearl choker can be worn with almost any neckline and looks great with every style, from casual to formal, make sure it doesn't swallow the neck. Pearl chokers draw attention to the neck but if you have a particularly short or long neck, the attention should be drawn away from the neck to the shoulder line or below. As such, stay away from chokers. For everyone else, a choker is great classic, suitable for every occasion.

Princess - 18 in
A princess strand falls slightly below the neckline and compliments every neck-style from high to low. It's great for office-wear as its length sits just above a blouse neckline and won't be hidden like longer lengths.

Matinee - 24 in
The Matinee strand is most popular for formal occasions and is the perfect length for any little black dress event. It's also the best length for those who are well endowed in the chest region as it highlights the neck and shoulders finishing just above the cleavage.

Opera - 32 in
Falling just below the bustline, the Opera strand is great for eveningwear and compliments every body shape. For less formal occasions, it can be doubled over and worn as a twin choker ? a true day into night piece.

Rope - 46 in
If it's versatility you're after, then a pearl rope is the style for you. By itself the strand generally falls somewhere around the waistline and is perfect for those that like to stand out from the crowd. Its length means you can play with styles from triple, or quadruple rows of a choker, to doubling it as Princess and Opera style together. Or try simply knotting it for a chic look that's perfect with everything from jeans and a tee shirt to an elegant evening gown.
