Jewelry can obviously be scratched, broken, or damaged beyond repair from any sort of trauma or forceful impact. However, jewelry can also be damaged through regular human activities. Activities such as washing your hands or putting on lotion can slowly deteriorate the look and integrity of your jewelry. Lotions and washing soaps lay a non-transparent film on diamonds and gems, not only diminishing their color and brilliance, but also providing an area for more dirt and dust to collect. This will convert a sparkling, beautiful stones, into a dull, unattractive rocks. This process often happens slowly over time so that many people don’t even notice the difference and only remember what their jewelry is supposed to look like after they have had it cleaned.
However, there are many steps that people can take at home in order to keep their jewelry in clean, sparkling conditions.
Without this the jewelry you wear everyday will not look as pretty as you want them to be, they will begin to deteriorate, and you will begin to loose stones from them.
We advise you to go to a jeweler whom you see regularly for your purchases and repairs for these cleanings and inspections. If you do not have one and you live in the Inland Empire, we at Le Vive Jewelry Express are more than willing to furnish these services for you at no charge.

Jewelry is typically used as heirlooms which are passed on by inheritance in almost all families regardless of cultural background. It is one of the most prized possessions and many young people nowadays prefer to use their grandparent’s jewelry to signify their marriages or to add a sentimental value to any esteemed relation.

]]>Whether you are aware of it or not, the moment you walk out the door of your home, you are making a statement of who you are. A good wardrobe or coordination of an outfit is absolutely essential for success. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do (lawyer, business executive, plumber, teacher), looking sharp will improve how others perceive you. Oftentimes, perception defines how you will be remembered and whether a potential customer, client or employer will be motivated to pursue a relationship. So dress to impress!
When you put together an outfit, color is one of the most important aspects of your entire wardrobe. Poor choice of color can draw attention to flaws, whereas a good coordination of your jewelry and wardrobe can help you look sensational. Fashion is about color and how you use it in your clothes and jewelry. Most jewelry does not require coordination, but if you really want to dress to impress, you must be pickier with your gemstone jewelry. Le Vive Jewelry offers a wonderful collection of beautiful jewelry with vibrant colors to make you look great. Regardless of your budget we are sure that we can help you color coordinate your wardrobe.
Before we get into what colored outfits look good with what colored jewelry piece, we have to start with the basics. Primary colors are Red, Blue and Yellow which is the foundation of any color. This means when you take a look at your shirt, blouse, or pants... one of these colors is sure to be the primary. Even if you look at your black pants... some black colors have more of a red or blue hue to it.
Primary colors should be carefully coordinated with secondary colors to bring out the best in you and your look. What you want to do is take a look at the overall color of your outfit and from there you can then review your secondary colors in the ensemble.
The secondary colors are made by mixing equal parts of any two complementary. The secondary colors include: green (yellow and blue), orange (yellow and red) and purple (blue and red).
Below we will give examples of outfits that suit well with different colored gemstones. Will will go into the details of why these colors typically look good when put together by reviewing the color wheel. If you are ever unsure, take a look at the color wheel and you'll be on your way to dressing to impress!
Ruby, sapphire, emerald, citrine and amethyst gemstones have a distinguished flavor and appeal that can be easily added to your style and look. These red to gold tones look best next to cool colors such as blues to purples. For example, a beautiful citrine necklace goes very well with a purple top, brown Jacket or beige shirt.
As discussed in the previous example cool tones (greens, blues and purples) look good next to warm colors such as yellow, orange and reds. Blue gemstones work well with blue, navy and yellow attire. These gemstones include; blue tanzanite, blue topaz, and blue sapphire.
Gold jewelry and Onyx gemstones work beautifully with with Black dresses or White dresses. Black and white has always been a classic color choice and will be here to stay.
Also, some colorful gemstones are perfect for wearing in spring and summer seasons; this includes the green peridot gemstone and the blue topaz gemstones. Matching these bright and brilliant colors with more soft neutral wardrobes makes it a perfect spring or summer look!
Diamond and CZ (cubic zirconia) jewelry works well with any colored outfits:
The color wheel is really a great tool for beginners. You use the color wheel to determine what colors coordinate well with each other and what doesn’t. Start with a color of your outfit or gemstone... look across from the color wheel to see the idea color tone that you should wear to contrast the color. Example, if your outfit is blue, wearing yellow toned jewelry and gemstones will be a perfect wardrobe!
These are the basic rules to coordinating your wardrobe and jewelry:
Example: If your outfit is on the most part blue, look across the color wheel and see that yellow and orange hues are complimentary choices for jewelry. Use citrine gemstones to give your attire the touch it needs to make it look amazing! We at LeVive Jewelry recommend citrine pendants, citrine rings or yellow topaz jewelry.
At Le Vive Jewelry we have a vast collection of Colored Stone Jewelry, handcrafted by our Master Jewelers to coordinate with any outfit you have planned. Stop by our store today to see our wide variety of Bracelets, Necklaces and Earrings today.

]]>Have you ever considered how well her purse goes with what she is wearing? Or how distinguished he looks with the tie he chose to sport with that brown jacket? In our previous color coordination article, we covered the details of matching the colors of your clothes with your jewelry. It is also important to consider what jewelry colors work best with your skin tone and complexion. In this article we will help you identify which skin tone you have and what jewelry might stand out best! First, let's determine your skin tone.
Have you ever been described as hot-headed? Well what about cool-toned? This is how you will know if you have a Cool Skin Tone:
If you answered “Yes” to these questions, that means you most likely have a pink/rosy-red undertone, and you have Cool Skin Tone.
Now let’s look at what that means for your jewelry options. Cool Skin Tones individuals can, and look best wearing:
If you didn’t quite fit in with the above questions, then perhaps you are slightly warmer than cool. This is how you know if you have Warm Skin Tone:
If you answered “Yes” to these questions, that means you have a Warm Skin Tone, and you will look best in:
If you didn’t match up with either of the above questions, then you likely fall right in the middle and have more of a Neutral Skin Tone. Neutral Skin Tones fall between both Cool and Warm categories. You range between olive colored skin and pink skin. There is no obvious overtone of any colors, making it easy for you to match with a wider range of colored clothes and jewelry.
For those of you who are lucky enough to have a Neutral Skin Tone, experiment! Try warm gemstones set in a cool metal, mix and match your color combinations in gemstones and in metals as well! Try wearing tri-colored pieces that combine yellow, white, and rose gold.
Of course, when purchasing jewelry it always comes down to personal preferences. Cool toned people can absolutely wear warm gemstones and metals; and warm toned individuals can wear cool colored gemstones, silver, and white gold jewelry and look equally fabulous! There are many factors to consider such as hair color, eye color and even the shape of your face. Ultimately the best way to find out what looks best, is to try it on.
Le Vive Jewelry in the Riverside Plaza has a wide variety of gemstones jewelry set in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum, and silver. Let us help you find the perfect jewelry piece for you!
]]>White is still the most preferred color for metals when people are looking for jewelry. Especially when it comes to engagement rings and wedding bands; platinum and white gold are the most obvious metal choices.
Gold and platinum are rare and precious metals that are very suitable to making jewelry. They have always been associated with wealth and luxury. Both are given the term “Noble Metal” because of their resistance to rust, corrosion, and to most chemical reaction.
From prehistoric times, gold has been mined and used by people in many civilizations. It has such an attractive yellow color that has captivated the dreams and imagination of people for millennia; it is the universal sign of wealth, and still plays a very important role as a financial medium. Gold is found in nature in almost pure form; it is relatively easy to mine, melt, and process into coins and jewelry.
As a substitute for yellow gold, white gold is made by adding alloys, such as platinum or zinc, to yellow gold. White gold was created in the 1920’s and has gained popularity especially for making engagement and wedding rings. White gold rings compliment gems of different colors and make the appearance of the rings very eye-catching.
Because of the high density and malleability of gold, it is easy to shape it into thin and workable wires and plates. Although, in its pure form, it can be used to make some type of jewelry; gold is mostly used as an alloy with other metals (typically 58% pure in 14 karat gold, and 75% pure in 18 karat gold). The reason for alloying gold is to make it more workable and durable; and also to give it different colors. Therefore; jewelry can be made in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold depending on the other metals used in the alloy.
Platinum is a relatively new element. This beautiful noble metal was discovered less than three hundred years ago, and the process to use it in jewelry was perfected in the second half of the nineteenth century. It is such an extremely rare metal; that it was calculated that all the platinum that has ever been mined in the world (about 180 million troy ounce), would fit in a cube twenty feet on each side.
The density and malleability of platinum is even higher than that of gold. It is used in jewelry in an almost pure alloy (typically 90% or 95% pure). Platinum gained a reputation of exclusivity because of its rarity, high price and purity. Since the style and fashion of the time was to use only white metal in the making of diamond jewelry; the beginning of the twentieth century saw platinum being offered by the most famous luxury jewelry brands (like Tiffany and Cartier).
When the Second World War came, there was a lot of rationing for metals that were needed for the war effort. The government restricted the use of platinum except for the military industry purpose. That restriction led the jewelry industry to search for an alternative to platinum that will fill the gap in the demand for precious white metal. The industry succeeded in developing the alloy mix and the technique of making white gold. Basically; the alloy or mix needed to produce white gold is a combination of nickel, palladium, and silver in various percentages depending on the type of jewelry and the method of manufacturing.
During the 1980’s, platinum gradually came back and stayed side by side with white gold in the jewelers’ showcases. By then the styles has changed, and for the next thirty years, yellow gold was the popular choice for the type and color of metal being used in making jewelry. In the 1990’s; there was another shift in the styles, and the appetite for white metals came back strongly. Both white gold and platinum became very popular again, and this trend is continuing especially in wedding rings.
The preference between these two metals remains mostly personal, because each has its own appeal and advantage. The advantage for white gold, it is more readily available, the selection of jewelry made in 10 kt, 14 kt, or 18 kt white gold is wider in general and more so in the very important category of bridal rings and wedding bands. White gold jewelry is noticeably less expensive, and it is easier to repair and resize.
The only problem with white gold is it is not really white, it is yellowish-white. It does require periodical maintenance of polish and rhodium finish in order to keep it white and shinny. The rhodium finish process is relatively inexpensive, and can be done by many jewelers in a short time.
On the other hand, platinum has the advantage of exclusivity, and being a status symbol and because of its high density, it does not wear down or thin out with time. Since platinum is a natural white metal, platinum jewelry does not need the periodical rhodium plating that white gold jewelry needs.
However, even though platinum is very dense and doesn’t wear down; it is easy to dent and scratch and become dull faster than gold. Regular polish is required to keep it shining and elegant.
During the last four years, the price of gold escalated in a much higher percentage than the price of platinum. That’s why the prices of gold and platinum jewelry are very close to each others, and the price of the metal is a lesser factor in making a choice between them. At the end it remains customer personal preference.
At Le Vive Jewelry, we carry a wide selection of platinum, 14 kt white gold, and 18 kt white gold jewelry. Visit us at our local Jewelry Store in Riverside, CA or visit to our Online Store to look at our selection, or to further assist you in making your choice.

]]>Shopping for an engagement ring can be a fascinating experience and one that will last forever. It could also be the first time a person enters a jewelry store and the first time they learn about the different types of gold, platinum and jewels. First time to learn and amazed by how little the diamonds can be, yet how beautiful and expensive they are?
Shopping for an engagement ring can be done by the fiancé himself to surprise his girlfriend or could be done as a couple. Usually the guys are more confused and hesitant and even afraid when they shop for engagement rings alone. However, if they are together usually the lady is fascinated by the diamonds while the guy is looking at the price tag.
Up until 20 years ago shopping for engagement rings was done by visiting multiple stores within a mall or shopping center. Nowadays you can find engagement rings available everywhere from online to Costco. But nothing can replace romance and visiting a local jewelry store is the most rewarding experience any couple should not trade for any price break or cost savings.

]]>My daughter, Nada, was born in March, the month of Aquamarine. When she become of age to wear jewelry, I started building her wardrobe with Aquamarine Jewelry pieces. However, I noticed that she never showed much excitement. When she became a teenager, ten years ago, Black Diamonds became noticeable in the market and became an option for fine jewelry.
Nada started working with me when she became sixteen years old. At that time the color pink was also very fashionable, such as pink topaz, pink tourmaline, pink sapphire and even pink cubic zircon that was commercially named as pink ice. I gave Nada a Pink Tourmaline pendent, she took it but did not wear it.
Every now and then, I started seeing her trying the new selection of Black Diamonds Rings. So when she graduated from high school I gave her a beautiful ring with a Black diamond in the center and accented with white diamonds on the sides. She wears it consistently ever since then.
You may be surprised at the thought of a diamond being black. Don’t be fooled by its name, there is nothing bland about these diamonds. It sparkles in a mysterious way and catches the light with the same fierceness as white diamonds. Some studies consider Black Diamonds to be of extraterrestrial origin. Something about the chemicals found inside of them makes them a complete obscurity to scientists. That’s about as mystifying as a stone can be, and I can’t get enough of them.
Let me give you another example. My wife, Hasmik, was born on February, 14. Her designated birthstone is an Amethyst. And because she was born on February 14, Valentine's Day, she likes, Roses, Hearts and Amethyst Jewelry. Well she likes Roses a lot, and she can not have enough of them. She likes jewelry way too much, but she does not like Amethyst or heart shape stones. She actually loves the color green. All shades of green from light spring green like Peridot to deep dark green like Emerald and Green Tourmaline. Now, what you do expect me to do? Of course I stopped giving her Amethyst and hearts shaped jewelry, but continued with Roses, Peridot and Emerald.
When most people think about colored stones, they automatically think "what’s my birthstone?" The great news is, if you were born in August and you absolutely despise lime green Peridots, you don’t have to be stuck with it anymore! There is no rule that says each person must wear their birthstone or no gem stone at all. So do not limit yourself and pave the way for a new look that reflects the true you! I know a lot of you November babies hate Citrine (a brownish-yellow stone). If you don’t want to drift too far from your roots, you can opt for a sharper more vibrant yellow such as yellow tourmaline, yellow topaz, yellow zircon, yellow sapphire, or even yellow diamond.
Now, it’s time for you to pick a new birthstone. The best way to do this is to see the stones in person and match them next to your skin tone. We at Le Vive Jewelry consider ourselves the leading expert on colored gem stones. We carry a huge inventory of loose stones in every color, size, and shape imaginable. Browse our online store, or visit our Riverside store today and leave with a new gemstone and a new look!
To like or not to like your birthstone, sometimes depends also on how it was presented for you. One of the main factors in disliking a type of stone is the design and the quality of the gemstone used by the jeweler. A poor grade or wrong setting can give a bad impression of the true potential of a colored gemstone. At Le Vive, most of our gemstone jewelry incorporates high quality natural gemstone and high quality full cut diamonds, surrounding the gemstones that show fire and scintillation. More importantly the uniqueness of the design, and the expert craftsmanship we provide will show the beauty and rich color of our gemstone jewelry.
