How to buy online jewelry and fashion jewelry

We agree that it is more fun to sit in front of the computer and decide on our Christmas presents than to walk on the streets wrapped on a scarf and arriving home exhausted.

This does not mean that we have to go shopping in our pyjamas. To buy online can be a shopping experience as attractive as going to Top Shop in London, to the new Uniqlo in Paris or to Prada in Tokyo.

An example: I want to buy necklaces for my friends. And I am going to do it  fully convinced to buy something nice. I will think about the stones that they like, which materials, what kind of life they have, on what occasions they will wear those necklaces… Because all this requires time I need to be at ease. I look for comfortable clothes: a big flannel shirt on top of a pair of leggings, or a man’s sweater, “robbed” from somewhere, on top of a pair of jeans, a cotton dress that I cover with a huge woolen jacquet. Any comfortable piece of cloth but that if anybody comes unexpectedly to visit you, you will not feel in panic.

So we now have our surfing clothes. For sure that now, because of the cold weather, we feel like having a drink while we are shopping for fashion jewelry for our friends. The perfect drink to have while buying online is tea. It is healthy, delicious, always inspires “warmth”. I love tea from Mariege Frères, reputed to be the best tea in the world. Even though they are from Paris, very much from Paris, we can also find them in Spain.

And what else do we need? May be some music. The great jazz women never let us down, so we open Spotify and we look for Sarah Vaughan. That’s it. We have the perfect ambiance. An afternoon of shopping.

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.

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….

Win a piece of jewelry

Have you seen Stromboli (Rossellini, 1950)? In this Italian film, Ingrid Bergman is a northern woman who, escaping from a complicated life, moves to an island dominated by a volcano. In Stromboli, the volcano is as much a protagonist as the Swedish actress. And you will say: why is she talking about this? Well, because we don’t want to be less than Rossellini (even though this is an unforgivable audacity) and we want to put a volcano (nice and quiet of course) in our lives.

How do we do it? Through its lava, a natural phenomena that inspires beauty as well as respect. The designer Nadia Rabosio has recuperated the Italian lava, black, very much black, porous and with an unusual fell and she has designed a jewelry collection called “Hojas”. Now you can buy earrings, necklaces and bracelets where the volcanic lava is mixed with silver. Craftsmanship is behind this jewelry and you can even see the designer’s fingerprints on the silver.

Because we are proud to have been able to capture a piece of nature, we want to share it with you. We are organizing a lottery and up to November the 30th everybody who will buy online can win these silver earrings with a lava seed. Of course these earrings are a limited edition. To feel a little bit as Ingrid Bergman.
