Information To Have About Alaskan Jewelry

By Sharlene Fleming


An outfit can really be changed by the addition of jewelry. A little bit of glamor or elegance can be added to a plain outfit. An attractive option is Alaskan jewelry, which, depending on where you are, you can find in stores or online. There is the same variety of choice that you might find with anything else.

Carved jewelry is one particular kind which is made by Native Alaskan people. You might like a carved bracelet that slips onto your wrist with ease without you needing to use a clasp. Yellow gold and sterling silver are among the different metals that are used, here. The detail on the bracelet will very likely need a closer look. Buying online will probably mean that you can click a picture that will allow you to see the design much more clearly.

Those who are buying from a store might want to ask a sales assistant if they can look more closely. Others may prefer to have something with a gemstone, and that can also be found, as well. You might want a clear blue stone that has a lot in common with the Alaskan glacier ice, for example. Neutral and light colors will be more likely to suit these cold colors for those who like to coordinate. Gems like ammonite are also frequently available, and this is a stone that covers a few different colors, resembling a rainbow.

This is attention-grabbing, and may be too much for some, but it can act as the focal point of a more neutral ensemble so it does not clash. Pendants, earrings and rings can be found, here, with the different colors as a gradient across the stone. Depending on the stone, some colors will be more prominent than others, and it is worth looking at different ones to see which you might prefer.

Alexandrite also has a lot of colors, although you will notice that it is more subtle and a little darker than ammonite. You might choose this because it is the more elegant of the two options. There is a bright, mottled appearance to gold in quartz, on the other hand, and you might prefer this. There is a vibrant contrast between white or pink quartz and the gold.

It is possible to buy reversible pendants with gold in quartz on one side and ammonite on the other. This gives too options in one piece, of course, but many may like to make the most of both with one outfit. Gold nugget jewelry is quite interesting, because rather than the bright gold that we are used to, it offers the softer, more neutral tone of natural, unpolished gold.

It can be found in watches, although you might just want it in a ring or a pedant. Metals and gemstones in your adornment might not be what you want, after all. You can find, then, pieces crafted from materials like wood, instead. Wood is not very durable, though, and this is not good over long term.

Some companies, though, have been infusing the wood with resin to make a more durable option. This makes this particular type of Alaskan jewelry much more reliable.
