Strands White Pearl

Help me identify a song from around 1985?

I'm pretty sure it is a man singing and it's kind of soft rockish (Phil Collinsesque). It talks about a little girl growing up and her dad leaving them and then coming back.

Some lyrics:

She wore a blue dress on her very first day of school.
Momma cried as she drove away,
Tears for then, but more tears for yesterday.

She wore a white dress,
And her momma's single strand of pearls...

I remember this song from when I was very young (first non kid song I ever knew the words to), but I can't track it down anywhere!

Any ideas?

The real Phil Collins sound alike from the 80's was Marrilion.

But Scottish bands - Ultravox (Midge was Scottish, anyway). Also Runrig - but I guarantee you never heard of Runrug - even though they were huge for about 5 minutes (Heart Hammer).

Pearl Jewelry Set

There are some gorgeous pearl jewelry set options out there. Whether you want to buy one for yourself or for a gift for somebody else, knowing a little bit about pearls can help you choose something that’s beautiful and gives you good value for your money. Pearls are gems that are classic and never go out of style. They can become treasured and sentimental family heirloom pieces.

A pearl jewelry set can include a necklace of various lengths, earrings and a bracelet. It can even include a ring. Some sets are simple and classic with a single strand of white pearls along with stud earrings and a single strand pearl bracelet. You can also go more ornate by mixing pearls with other gems, using multiple strands and going with interesting colors and color combinations. Pearls are anything but boring.

Pearls can be natural or cultured. They can come from fresh water or salt water. Various shapes and sizes exist and all these things determine the value of the pearl. Some pearls are average and elegant and others are rare and sought after. It’s a good idea to learn a bit about the differences in them and their values before investing in them because the more you know; the surer you can be that you are getting quality for the money you are spending.

Pearls can range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. You can pay more for a single strand choker necklace than for a rope chain of 45 inches when you buy a rare natural pearl. Pearls are graded on multiple factors including their lustre, their size, their texture and how blemished or flawless they are. A baroque freshwater cultured pearl won’t be as valuable as a teardrop natural saltwater pearl.

A jewelry set can be saved for special occasions or worn regularly. Many women own multiple sets of pearl jewelry because they know that pearls won’t go out of style. For a wedding as a guest you may wear a classic strand of white pearls on a princess necklace with stud earrings. For your own wedding you could wear a dog collar set of natural pearls with a faint rosy hue that goes well with your strapless wedding gown along with drop earrings and a pretty matching bracelet.

Perhaps your grandmother has a lovely pearl broach or hat pin. While that might not be the style of today, it can still be a treasured piece. Caring for your pearls will keep them in good condition. Well strung pearls should last a lifetime or more if they’re cared for properly. Keep your pearl sets separate from your other jewels so they won’t be scratched each time you rifle through your jewelry box. A velvet drawstring pouch or special case to hold your jewels is a good idea. It’s best not to keep them in an airtight safe as well otherwise they could crack over time with lack of exposure to oxygen. When your pearls need some cleaning soak them in a mild dish detergent and dry them well with a soft cloth. Whether you have many or just one pearl jewelry set, it can bring you joy for many years.

Eyeglass Chain

complimentary colors?

what colors are complimantary to Dark browns light browns and creams? i make some custom eyeglass chains for people and i was wondering what colors are good with those browns..
Thank you!!!

The use of color in complementary fashion usually relates to the color opposite or that which sets off the color you want to compliment. The primary colors will either lighten or darken the original color if mixed together. However, if used side by side the primary colors will intensify the original color used. Try taking different color clothes or paper and make strips, then lay them together; yellow,orange,red,blue,green,purple,black and white. You will find that certain of these strips will be vibrant and others subdue the other colors. The brown shades can be intensify with blue, green or yellow side by side.

Bracelet Bead

Why do people wear a blue bead on a gold bracelet or necklace?

It's something I've noticed a few times. Some people will wear a really nice gold bracelet or gold necklace and they'll have a blue bead on it. Howcome?

I am not 100% sure, but I think it's a symbol for the 'evil eye'. I was told that by people who were wearing a blue bead on their gold chains as well.

Do you have your own bracelet?

Most of the time, you will see a lady wearing a bracelet on her wrist, so do I. Bracelet could be used as a decoration, and it also worn as a social relevant statement or for medical reasons like a hospital patient’s id or an allergy bracelet. 

Before, bracelets are thought to always have a spiritual or religious meaning and not really as a decoration of the body. The people who lived in Latin America way back let their babies wear one to protect them from evil eyes. 

A Scarab Egyptian bracelet was found in one of the mummies that were discovered. It is believed to have great significance both socially and religiously. 

Most people in Asia and Europe before also considered them as protection from bad spirits and sometimes, just protection from bad luck. 

People nowadays still wear bracelets that look like the ancient ones. There are some that are made from animal bones and local stones. However people use these items nowadays just as part of body fashion and not really because of any significant religious meaning. 

Different Types of Bracelets

As time goes by, different types of bracelets were manufactured using different types of materials. 

* Charm bracelet – this is a type of bracelet that carries dangling charms, pendants, or trinkets that usually have meaning to the person wearing it. A charm may be heart or a star, it can be letters that form initials of a name, or it can also be a small photo frame. There are many other different types of charms and they usually represent something like love, friendship, or a representation of a special occasion. It is a good gift idea for anyone special. 

* Bangle – this is a bracelet that is in the form of a single ring. It usually has no opening and is worn by slipping it from the hand to the wrist. It is one of the oldest types of jewellery and you can wear more than one bangle for a different look. Nowadays, bangles have gone through many changes, and some are offered in different shapes. It can also be made of different kinds of materials like titanium, stainless steel and plastic. 

* Slap bracelet – this is also known as a snap bracelet. It was one of the most popular kind back in the early 80’s. It is made of a flexible metal which is gently slapped to a person’s wrist where it curves, encircling the wrist and turns to a nice fitting bracelet. 

* Beaded bracelet – This is basically a bracelet made of beads. Due to the availability of wide variety of beads, a bead bracelet can be customized by the owner based on her preference. The ideas are endless for this type of bracelet. Because beads are smaller compared to other materials used for bracelets, beaded ones can be very colorful as you can combine multi-colored glass or plastic beads that you want. 

* Sports bracelet – It was just a few years ago that this type of bracelet was popularized by Nike. It is made of silicone rubber. Most people call it a baller id or a sports wristband. Aside from the different colors, there is usually a popular name or a statement written on it. Due to its popularity nowadays, a lot of manufacturers came up with their own sports bracelets with different colors and styles as a promotional tool.
