The Timeless Appeal of Charm Bracelets

Charm bracelets is one accessory that is truly unique to the wearer. They give a hint to the wearer's personality, unique style and what is meaningful to them. Charms can be passed down from generations in the family, creating a fabulous heirloom that can be displayed on the wearer's wrist. These treasured pieces can be combined with new charms to create a personal meaning that can be shared and appreciated throughout the family.

Charm bracelets are definetly conversation starters! They reflect memories of places and things that are important to the wearer. If you like to travel, collecting a charm from each place visited and then setting them on a hoop style link bracelet or even a gemstone strand, would be the perfect idea!

Charm bracelets can also display a theme, to really represent something that is important to you, or a hobby that you love! Some examples of this would be a fabulous bracelet with adorable animal charms, if the if you adore animals. If the a nautical theme reflects a passion of yours, a charm bracelet can be created to reflect this, with shells, fishes, anchors, etc. A perfect idea for a charm bracelet would be one with hearts from loved ones. Every time you receive heart pendants and charms, set them on a bracelet. A fantastic idea with memories that will last!

Today's fashion reflects the on-going appeal of the charm bracelet. If you would love a charm bracelet but do not have any charms to get started with, buy a bracelet with the charms already set and included! The hottest trend in charm bracelets right now are ones that have charms of sunglasses, purses, hats, aeroplanes, and shoes! These charms can be encrusted with sparkling gems and done in rich enameled colors for an eye-catching look!

If you are seeking the ultimate accessory to dress up a casual look, then a charm bracelet would be the perfect choice for any occasion. Because they reflect your personal tastes, interests, or what is important to you, they are sure to go with any wardrobe, day or night!

Michael Knigin

Michael Knigin was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, NY. He attended and graduated from Tyler School of Art, Temple University. During his junior year, he was awarded a Ford Foundation Grant to study fine art lithography at the renowned Tamarind Lithography Workshop, in Los Angeles.

After graduating college in 1966, Knigin started teaching at the Pratt Graphic Center in Manhattan, an extension of the Pratt Institute, devoted to fine arts and graphic prints. There he started a fine art lithography workshop. After a year and a half he opened his own publishing company, Chiron Press, and added a silkscreen printing facility. This was the first facility in the United States that combined lithography and screen-printing. The shop remained in existence for over seven years, printing and publishing editions for the most renowned contemporary artists, including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Paul Jenkins. In 1970 and 1971 he co-authored two books on lithography, which were published by Van Nostrand/Reinhold. One of these books was a textbook on fine art lithography and was used extensively in schools in the United States and Britain. After selling Chiron Press in 1974, Knigin was invited by the Israel Museum and the Jerusalem Foundation to establish the first professional lithography workshop in Israel and to train a group of young Israeli artists. While in Israel, he collaborated with the Ministry of Labor and Education, along with nationally and internationally known artists from Israel, the United States and Europe. After his tenure at the graphic center, he returned to New York and preceded to create his own prints and paintings. At that time, Knigin was appointed a Professor at Pratt Institute, where he still teaches.

In 1988 he was appointed to the NASA Art Team and was sent to the Kennedy Space Center to visually interpret the launch of the space shuttle Discovery, celebrating NASA's return to space after the Challenger's disaster in 1986. In 1991 he was recalled to interpret the touchdown of the space shuttle Atlantis at Edward's Air Force Base. Along with these honors, he has received many awards including Cleo Award for art direction, a fellowship of the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, an Art and Technology Grant, two Certificates of Merit from the National Society of Illustrators. He has judged seven national and international art shows. From 1978 to the present he has had 17 one-person shows, and has been included in approximately a hundred and twenty group shows here and abroad.

Michael's work is included in over 60 museums and corporate collections, including the Whitney American Museum of Art, Albright-Knox, The Cooper Hewitt Museum, The Portland Museum of Art, The Israel Museum, The Port Authority of NY, Citibank, NASA, U.S. Dept. of State, and the Phillip Morris Collection. His work has been written about in approximately forty articles, featured in publications such as the New York Times, Art in America, and Art News. Last but not least, he has been commissioned to create art by over forty corporations and institutions.

His accomplishments in the art field are significant. His contributions to Israel and The United States are well respected by artists, educators, and collectors alike.

Timeless Rarities

I have been a coin collector for over 40 years and have been selling some of the "finest" coins on the internet since 1996. My name is George Montanus and the name of my business is TIMELESS RARITIES. I have had the honor and the privilege to sell Morgan and Peace Dollars, Bust Dollars and Halves, Proof and Mint sets, currency, many different sizes and varieties of Gold coins and many other varieties of coins for the past year and one half on Bidz.com. I pride myself on not only finding the "finest" coins available, but honestly describing them in detail with large scans to view each coin in total detail.

My experience with Bidz.com has been very pleasant over the past 15 months. I joined Bidz.com because I felt that their auctions were very unique with the 30 second close and a customer could bid and the time goes back to 30 seconds. This gives everyone a chance to win the auction rather than seeing the time run out. I am also very pleased with the customer base and I have been serving many wonderful people since I began back in November of 2002. You will also note that many of my auctions are now available with the FREE SHIPPING which means the price you win the auction is the TOTAL price you pay with no hidden charges.

Bid Now

I began slowly with 10-20 auctions per day and with the helpful staff at Bidz.com, I was, and continue to increase the number of items to offer to my customers.

Dolf de Roos on Real Estate

Dolf de Roos started investing in property while still attending the University of Canterbury, studying Electrical Engineering. He noticed that engineers were not uniformly wealthy, and started to study the rich to find out what they had in common. He read biographies, autobiographies, encyclopedias,research articles, and interviewed wealthy people. He found that they had very little in common: it wasn't age, gender, religious beliefs, which country they were born in, or whether they were born into a rich family. Rather, he did find two things that they had in common: they were all people of high integrity, and they all either made their money, or held their wealth, in real estate. "I knew then that I should invest in real estate," says Dolf.

By the time he graduated with a PhD in electrical engineering in the mid 1980s, Dr de Roos already had a substantial property portfolio and was on his way to becoming a property millionaire.

"History proves that property increases in value over time." de Roos says. " Since the days of the Doomsday book back in the eleventh century, properties in England have increased by just over ten percent per annum compounding. Not necessarily ten percent each and every year, but over time, that's the average. I can't see any reason why that will change. Given that and the many other advantages property has over any other form of investment, I'm serious when I say you can't afford not to have property investments".
