The most romantic legend is how the moon shines its light upon the ocean to attract the oysters to the surface where it impregnates them with heavenly dew. Polished by time, this drop of light holds this heavenly radiance within its heart and cloaks itself in a garment that glistened with the blue, green, pink and golden colors of all the fish that swim.

For centuries before contact with Western civilization, Black Tahitian Pearls were revered for their beauty and rarity. Always associated with love then and now, this gem, seemingly created by magic in the turquoise waters of the Polynesian Islands, has a mystique that is difficult to define with words.MORE:white pearl necklace

Bra Spider thus missed yet another chance in life

Bra Rabbit had cause now to untie the bundle to have the spider that was imprisoned within it released. The sooner the knot was unwound Bra Spider sprang out like a spring kept on hold. So sharp and violent was his breakout that the whole plane was set in agitation. Take off was thus delayed to allow the airport authorities to come in and inspect as well as investigate. Bra Cunny Rabbit vehemently protested his innocence and ignorance. He maintained that he didn't know of it until when he heard an unusual sound just then upon entering the plane. Bra Spider was thus arrested and whisked off to the nearby police station where he was held for some time in a cell.

1. The bra industry fears class action lawsuits. Many insiders have admitted to us that for years the industry suspected underwires were causing cancer. They know that tight bras cause cysts and pain. It is only a matter of time until a lawsuit is made against a bra manufacturer. As a defense, the industry is shifting the blame to the customer, claiming that most women are wearing their bras too tightly, and should get professional fittings. (How do you get a properly fitted push-up bra?) Breaking ranks with their industry peers, and trying to capitalize on the bad news, are several bra manufacturers that now offer newly patented bras claiming to mitigate the damage, including cancer, caused by conventional bras.

2. The medical industry is making billions each year on the detection and treatment of breast cancer. As mentioned above, there is a conflict between the prevention and the treatment of disease, especially if the prevention does not include drugs or surgery. The fact is that our treatment-focused, profit-oriented medical system is making a killing treating this disease, and has billions to lose if breast cancer goes out of fashion along with bras.MORE:China lingerie Manufacturer

It was only after world war 2 that nightwear changed

Negligee sets are usually intented for wear at night for sleeping in, but these days they are so beautiful you can wear them in the lounge and feel completely at ease.

You just don't find pajamas sets for ladies, as they are a thing of the past, sales have just about ceased.

It was only after world war 2 that Sexy lingerie changed, now modern negligees are much looser, made of cotton and sheer fabrics with lace to appeal to the eye such a pleasure to wear.

Since 1998 negligee sales have dominated, and have taken over most pyjamas sales.

The nightgown and robe set are perfect for hanging around the house or surprising your sweetheart.

Express your feelings with these exquisitely romantic masterpiece.

Great gift for a special occasion.

A fact you may not know - but negligees made from 1940s to the 1970s are now collectible vintage items.

Being a plus size woman usually means being big busted too. If you are anything like me, you have mixed feelings about being a big-busted plus size woman.  I developed large breasts at the age of 13 and I felt very out of place.  People stared at me wherever I went. I resorted to wearing bulky loose shirts for a long time.  Busty women get alot of attention, let's face it.  Eventually I grew into them and learned to live with being big-busted.
Men profess that big breasts are the "best breasts" - they love our beautiful breasts.   I'm certainly not complaining about that one bit!

But I'm a bit more practical about it.  It's hard finding a big bust bra or a plus size bathing suit to fit me.  Plus  big breasts tend to weigh you down. You feel like you're carrying around 2 lead weights. I exercise daily and finding sports bras for big busted women is hard.  You know how challenging running can be when you're big breasted!

But my husband loves my big breasts, so I want to make them appealing for him. I recently set out to find a happy medium to make us both happy with my "best breasts". and I found some great styles that will flatter any big busted woman's figure. Wait till you see some of these great big bust bras and plus size bathing suits for summer 2012!MORE:Cheap Lingerie

So Sandra created the first Artful Bra

The best way to firm boobs using exercises is resistance training. This includes weights, yes weights! Don't worry you have to be bulky in the first place to get a physique like Arnie's. Weights will just make you firmer and stronger to boot. Great exercises are; the chest fly, chest press, assisted dips and bench press. If this all sounds foreign to you it might be worth joining a gym and getting some advice or taking a look at the videos I have added. Other exercises you can do at home are straight leg press ups, crossed leg press ups and swimming,

The reason that exercise makes your boobs perky is while boobs are made up of fatty tissue, there are muscles underneath them. Pectoral muscles (pecs). Even male body builders end up with a bit of a cleavage or highly toned pecs as they prefer to call it. Pecs are nature's bra and trust me when I say; if you build these up your boobs will look like you have had surgery. But this is natural and safe. Who needs to go under the knife when you can work your pecs?

With the popularity of decorating bras - or "art bras," as they are commonly called - on the rise, Quilters of South Carolina president Sandra Baker issued a challenge to the statewide guild. Sandra had a specific goal: to raise awareness of breast cancer. With so many women of the 650-person guild being affected by breast cancer, it was a natural fit for the group.

So Sandra created the first Artful Sexy lingerie- "Buttons, Bows and Boobs" - and hit the road. She toured the state visiting quilt guilds, inspiring others to participate in the challenge. At the end of her tour, 41 QSC members answered the call. Some created more than one bra, bringing the total number of Artful Bras to 50.

Before sending the bras out on tour, the women decided to donate all of the money made from the exhibit to the Best Chance Network, a South Carolina program that helps women without insurance pay for breast-cancer screening. Proceeds from this book will also be donated to the BCN.

From November 2008 to October 2009, the Artful Bras exhibit traveled South Carolina. The bras were on display at art museums, garden nurseries, hospitals, conferences, guilds, churches and more. In July, the collection left the state to be displayed at the American Quilter's Society (AQS) show in Knoxville, Tenn. But the bras had a much more far-reaching impact than just South Carolina and Tennessee. ...

Because of the Internet, the Artful Bras received instant attention. Email forwards were sent all over the world with photos of the bras. Bloggers posted stories with links to the Artful Bra website. Sandra received messages from folks all across the United States, as well as in France, the United Kingdom, Australia and beyond. Here's what some had to say:

Barbara H. from Colorado wrote, "This is the most exciting thing I have seen to bring awareness to breast cancer. I hope you will consider the possibility of a national tour - it's that important." ....

Duncan and Sheila Spencer in Ipswich, England, wrote, "Your 'bras' have proved a great hit here in the U.K. with all our friends being moved by the terrific idea you have come up with. It seems a shame you will only be exhibiting in S.C.; the world needs to be aware of this and other profile raising ideas." ...

Inside, you'll find photographs of each of the 50 decorated bras. You'll also read the designers' stories about the inspiration behind the designs and how they made them. -- excerpted from Amazon.MORE:Sexy lingerie

So convenient, and now that the quality has become so good, these disposable adhesive or 'stick on bra's' are clearly a very useful option when support is required without all the straps associated with a regular bra. As one would not need to wear this type of single use bra on a regular basis, the great value packs of 5 as supplied by Braza represent real value for occasional wear when one needs support to complement a backless or strapless dress or top.
When gently peeling the single use bra away from it's backing paper and applying the your bust it is important to keep a little tension on the fabric so that it moulds to the bust and fits like a second skin.

What are different types of shapes?

What is a natural pearl?

also called a wild pearl, is a tough object that is found in shelled mollusk's mantle, a soft tissue.

How is natural pearls formed?

In situations when a parasite go into a bivalve mollusk and stays there inside the shell for long time, then natural pearls are formed. When the parasite exasperates the mollusk, then the mollusk makes a pearl sac which is made up of mantle tissue cells and generates the conchiolin and calcium carbonate in order to cover the parasite. After repeating this secretion process for many times, this is formed.

What are the ingredients of natural pearls?

Well it is made of calcium carbonate and conchiolin.

What are different types of shapes pearl necklace jewelry?

They are round, near round, oval, button, drop, semi-baroque and baroque. Out of these shapes, round shape is the rare one.

Whatever the occasion, be it a birthday, Christmas 2010, an wedding anniversary, the romantic Valentine's Day, or just for no reason at all, a woman loves to receive jewelry as gifts. Nothing can compare to a pearl ring as a gift for her on these special moments.

Pearl is one of the most welcomed gemstones that women love, which display soft light and elegant features. This water-born accessory maximizes the softness, feminism of ladies; while diamond represents the forever love between you two, a pearl symbolizing your care and understand about her.

Pearls are available in various shapes

Tip 1: The foremost thing to do is to decide the colour of pearls you want to purchase. This you can decide on the basis of her skin tone or according to the dress she is going to wear on the special occasion. Pearls are available in an assortment of colours, like pure white, ivory, soft pink and even black. However, low quality pearls or faux pearls are dyed to hide their imperfections. The best way to check their authenticity is to look around their drill holes. If they are fake and painted then you will be able to see irregular paint around the drill holes.

Tip 2: Natural pearls are naturally lustrous. The more it shines the more high quality it possesses. Look out for deep and natural lustre. Faux pearls lustre is chalky.

Tip 3: Pearls are available in various shapes white pearl necklace: round, spherical, baroque and asymmetrical. Choose the shape you want to purchase according to her face shape and features. Buy symmetrical pearls rather than asymmetrical ones. Make sure that the pearls in the jewellery are identical in shape and size. They look more pleasing to the eyes and more aesthetic. Natural fresh water pearls are special because they are larger in size as they take more time in formation. Thus, choose the biggest size of the pearls that your pocket can afford.

Another decorative way in which to use pearls for a wedding is to dress up some of the accessories. If you plan to have a little shawl to throw on for an outdoor reception, choose a rectangular plain silk chiffon, organza, or shantung wrap in white or ivory and have a row of beads added along the two short ends. The beading will give the simple wrap more style, and it also adds a pleasing weight to the shawl. For more drama, have a border of teardrop pearls which dangle along the edge, or keep it more subtle with beads which are stitched flush with the edge of the fabric in a straight row.

The pearl theme is a lovely idea to carry through the rest of the wedding accessories. The straight pearl border looks fantastic outlining a ring bearer pillow. Another really cute idea is to select a ring bearer pillow with a diamond quilt pattern (all in white) and add a pearl at the corners of the diamond shapes. Pillows with floral patterns can also be beaded with seed pearls, which is a lovely way to dress up a basic store bought ring bearer pillow.

An unexpected place to include pearls in a wedding is on the invitations themselves. Why not set the tone for your wedding right away? Choose the tiniest pearls which you can find, and carefully handstitch a border of them on the invitations in perfectly straight lines. Or select a wedding invitation with a bow across the top and sew on a pearl bead in the center of the bow for a pretty detail. Embellished invitations are a bit more fragile than others, so be sure to have them hand cancelled at the post office rather than dropping them in a mailbox.MORE:vintage pearl drop earrings

Perhaps you've heard the term "akoya pearls

Perhaps you've heard the term "akoya pearls," or heard about someone whose husband got them an akoya pearl necklace for their anniversary. If you've ever wondered about akoya pearls, or wondered about their use in pearl jewelry, here's a closer look at them. We think you'll soon realize why Akoya pearls are so desirable.

Akoya pearls are produced from the oyster known as Pinctada fucata martensii, which is the smallest pearl producer known in the oyster family. These pearls are known for their pristine round shapes, which make them an ideal and popular choice for necklaces and matching earrings. However, aside from being consistently round, they can also have a semi-round white pearl necklace, baroque and semi-baroqe shape.
Although also produced in China, they previously were considered the Japanese pearl, and were cultured primarily in Ehime, Mie, Oita, Nagasaki and Kumamoto prefectures.

Abalone is a type of mollusk that is primitive, uni-valved (which means single-shelled), and at least thirty million years old. There are only eight varieties of abalone, which is low, when compared to other pearl producing mollusks such as oysters and mussels. Different forms of abalone are found anywhere from California to Alaska, as well as in Korea, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Though abalone will produce pearls when in the wild, this is a rare occurrence. In fact, studies have shown that a fine, good sized pearl of over 15mm is found in nature only in about one out of every five hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand abalone.

The reason that these pearls are so rare is that they require about 8 to 10 years to form (note that it takes only 24 to 36 months for the pearls to develop in farms, as ideal circumstances are provided). As abalone are commonly subject to commercial fishing at about the age of four or five years. Therefore, they have not aged sufficiently for the creation of a pearl. Furthermore, not every kind of Abalone is able to produce pearls, and even in those that do, they require a very specific combination of elements in order for the natural pearl formation to occur; which includes everything down to what the abalone has to eat throughout the 8 to 10 years of the pearl's formation time.MORE;pearl necklace jewelry

The bodice of the dress has a sweetheart neckline that extends horizontally across the front to the sleeves. The sleeves hold up the bodice of the dress, and are one of the most identifiable features of 80's dresses! The sleeves extend about halfway down the upper arm, after which the sleeve is fitted and ends in a small point over the back of the hand. The top of the bodice and the end of the sleeves are hemmed with pale blue trim.
The bottom of the bodice is shaped into 4 'petals', each with a triangular point at the bottom. They are evenly spaced with one each in the centre-front and centre-back, with the other two at the sides. The topmost part of each petal is about 2-3" below the waistline, and they come down just past the hips. They also are hemmed with blue trim.

The skirt is supported with a large petticoat. There is a triangular panel in the front, the top of which is hidden behind the centre-front petal. The panel appears to be about 20" wide at the hem of the dress, and the sides are edged with the same blue trim as the bodice. The panel is palest blue, it is lighter than the trim on the edges.

The veil is transparent and white, reaching to the floor. The veil is held in place with a golden tiara which comes to a point in the centre of the head.

Ariel's earrings are small white pearls with a single pearl drop each.

One of the first places we hear of the concept of using birthstones was from the Bible. In Exodus 28: 17-21 the Lord of Israel was to have told Moses "Fashion a breast-piece for making decisions--the work of a skilled craftsman........and in verse 21 we read "There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel."

The original stones listed were : ruby, topaz, beryl, turquoise, sapphire, emerald, jacinth, agate, amethyst, chrysolite, onyx and jasper.

The twelve tribes of Israel were the descendants of Jacob: each tribe springing from a different wife or concubine. Each tribe occupied a different part of the ancient land.

This breastplate was to have been worn by Aaron, Moses brother and spokesperson for him, as Moses is believed to have had a speech impediment.

This Biblical reference resonates deeply with us: the magic of the stones comes across even if we are not sure what all the meanings are. We have kept many of the traditional birthstones in the breast plate, but not all.black tahitian pearl earring
