How to buy on Sales

Sales have arrived and as every year they create contradictory feelings. We love sales because they allow us to buy at much better prices both our “capricios” and big pieces of wardrobe, and we hate sales because they mean disorder, people and  lots and lots of caos.
This last part can be eliminated if we buy online. There are no queues at the cashier, there are not three people fighting for a necklace, you don’t have to get up early, you don’t have to wear a scarf and gloves and the price is so good that sometimes you do not need any extra discount…
But what would January be without Sales? So vital, so social, so, basically, fun. But also dangerous, because to know how to buy on Sales is a real art. Some advice?
-Make a list of what you need. Impulses can be fun but they can leave you trembling. Buy with a mixture of head and heart.
-The best days are the first and the last ones.
-Invest in the good pieces. Buy this necklace that you have been wishing for months, the pair of boots that next year will be almost new, the tenth black blazer.
-Make sure you know which pieces are on sale: check that both the original price and the discount price are shown.
-Buy items that are never out of fashion: a strong ring, a necklace of one of the designers that  you like most, a pair of jeans.
-For sure that you still have to get a present for somebody. This is the moment.
Once you know this: prepared, ready, go!

Chaverdi talks to the winner of the jewel- a pair of silver earrings-

Some days ago María Victoria received a phone call and she got the message that she had won a pair of silver earrings. Of course, she though that this was a joke. It was not. This nice woman from Murcia (Spain) bought a ring at the online shop of Chaverdi. Stars were on her side and the ring brought her to a pair of jewelry earrings.

She explains this among laughs. “I wanted to buy a present for myself. Sometimes you like things so much that you do not have to wait for somebody to offer them to you”, she says with conviction. This present to herself was the Asymmetric ring Olive from the Garda collection by Nadia Rabosio.
Why did you choose this ring?
Because it was an original design, and the hot enamel it is not very common. And I like big rings, different, that people take notice. In fact I have shown it at the office and people have loved it!

And how did you find Chaverdi?
I am often on the internet, I spend hours and hours with my PC. I saw the online store and I liked it, and I must say that I know a lot of online stores. I love the design. Their pieces are simple but make you have a different image every day.

Were you looking for a ring?
Yes, this time I was. For the present to myself. But I liked a lot the necklaces with colored stones also.

And now that you have a pair of earrings that you did not count on, how are you going to wear them? I will wear them with a black sweeter, so that they stand out. And with my hair tied up.

What do you like most of this Chaverdi present? The silver. In general I love the silver they use.

Do you usually buy on the internet? A lot. I spend hours and I have bought a lot. Advantages? All of them. Specially time: a do not have a lot of time and in a couple of minutes you can buy.

Christmas is approaching. Are you going to buy more presents online? Sure!
Mª Victoria admits, at the end of our conversation, that she loves reading. She reads everything and of course she has also fell in love with the “Millenium” trilogy. We finished talking wondering if there will be a fourth book or not…

The  winner of the jewelry lottery of December 3rd now has a name: she is María Victoria Pérez del Cerro, from Archena (Murcia, Spain).

PICK OF THE WEEK

Asymetric olive ring with hot enamel. Garda collection by Nadia Rabosio.

You will like it if you like:  estrange colors on a jewel; to wear only one ring but a strong one.

For women: independent, like María Victoria, who decide a look based on an accessory, a handbag, a shawl,…

You can wear them with:  a long hair sleeveless jaquet, so much on fashion this winter, a pair of grey jeans, with high heel short boats and a maxi scarf.

Why do we choose them: because it is the ring bought by María Victoria and because of this ring she won the lottery. Therefore we belive that it is a good talisman.

Chaverdi’s inspiration

This is the vieuw from Chaverdi’s window. It is the lake of Banyoles, imposing, sleepy and romantic air, as all lakes have. At the same time it is a symbol of live. Here children play, people swim, you walk around it and there are competitions as the World Canoeing Championship that will be held in 2010.

I like lakes. The sea always takes the flatteries, but a lake keeps an special authenticity. Not long ago they published a list of the nicest lakes in the world. Among them were the Plitvice in Croacia, the Crater Lake, the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea, Lake Titicaca and Lake Atitlan. That’s my favorite. It is located in Guatemala, surrounded by volcanoes and seems to be beyond time and space. In Atitlan, whose water is blue as the Caribe and charges positive energy, there are many little towns and small ecologic hotels, as the Lomas de Tzunumá, with huge wooden balconies hanging above the lake. To lean out and see the daybreak is an experience of absolute luxury.

Nature, together with Art and Culture are the inspiring sources of our designers; somehow this lake is behind Chaverdi’s jewelry and fashion jewelry. It is nice to shift the sight from the computer and the papers and take a look through the window. This way the color of water, the sky and the plants becomes very present. Afterwards we go back to our limited editions, our necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings and we feel that there is a bridge between what we do and what we see from our room with a view.

P.S.: Which are your favorite lakes?

Silver earrings designed by Nadia Rabosio exclusively for Chaverdi

This month of November we want to offer a jewel as a present. Because we want to and because we feel like doing this. And we have not chosen not just any piece, but a designer jewel.
These silver earrings with a lava seed are part of the Hojas collection from Nadia Rabosio. The complete collection, necklace, bracelet and several different designs of earrings is authentic jewelry. They are made with silver 925 and with Italian lava stone. We like the metallic touch of silver combined with the strange texture of the lava. It is not by coincidence that Nadia Rabosio is from Italy… If you pay attention you will see her fingerprints on the silver parts.
The Hojas collection gathers all the essence that Chaverdi is: contemporary craftsmanship, care for details, design and connection with Nature. The Hojas collection is one of our star collections. On top of this, as all our designs, it is a limited edition. It is part of our philosophy: take as much care for a necklace as for the woman who wears it.
To get those earrings is very easy: there will be a lottery among the people who have bought in our shop online www.chaverdi.com. You have time till November 30th. The reward will be an advanced Christmas present. And talking about Christmas….
