Well, like it or not, Coachella is back. And it seems to echo the middle-aged bohemian fashion world big time.
This year isn't much different than the rest or the last few years essentially.
But a bit more progressed, more commercial, and the retail brands are honing in.
There's no doubt there's a certain "look" for coachella. All you have to do is Google 'Coachella' and sure enough all the green-grassed new age hippie gentrified peeps come up.
Or Google 'Coachella Trends' for an even more fashion-wise perspective.

The World's Greatest Treasure Hunt continues! Jan. 28 - Feb. 12, 2017
Every year Tucson, Arizona gets transformed in the most interesting, amazing and in-depth gem and mineral convention in world history. It's so monumental there is no other rock show, convention, or trading place that even compares to the Tucson Gem Show.
In the jewelry and rock and mineral industry this show has played a major role in over 60 years.
To get an idea of the scope one must look at a aerial view of the over 45 complete separate shows plus the attendance to make up the entire coarse and spectrum of the Tucson Gem Show.
The Tucson Gem Show is such a colossal event it is almost impossible to cover everything in one attendance visit.

Based on a article / slideshow from Elle who this year have highlighted some amazing fashion jewelry at New York Fashion Week, we share our favorites.
First off, we have to point out what we have been saying all along so far:

There is certainly room for jewelry design in the fashion world and we are starting to see a trend of more jewelry application into the fashion design itself with Fashion Week.

In other words, key designers see a open door to not only add jewelry design as a option into their overall design theme, giving and leaving them more options to expand, create, outside the four walls of traditional minimalism. But also the brand execs and CEO's are realizing it's good money expanding jewelry and accessories into the sales line.
So far we are seeing more fashion accessories merge into the 2010's and honestly we hope we see more.

Amethyst is a semiprecious stone. Structure Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet color to irradiation, iron impurities (in some cases in conjunction with transition element impurities), and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of the mineral is the same as quartz, thus it is suitable for use in jewelry.

Rocks sure are interesting. At least millions of people around the world think so. Also thousands of people who still today attend The Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase every year where tons of rocks and minerals get put on display covering an entire city.
Since our known Prehistoric Period before 4 century B.C. people have been fascinated by rocks and minerals using them for tools, hunting, structures, jewelry ornaments, and been intrigued.

The crescent moon has been used since ancient times to represent silver.

Silver also is used in the medical profession because of it's anti-bacterial properties.
