Jan 14, 2009 by Elizabeth G | Posted in Other - Education
I'm just starting a nursing program, and I need to get a good quality brooch type watch. Does anyone know where I may find a good watch?
Try your local uniform stores or online at amazon or ebay. Good Luck in school.

This mite sound weird..but Im watching telly & everyone on the news is wearing one...really getting curious on what it is???!!
please get me out of this madness of not knowing what it is!!!
Its a poppy, it's to mark rememberence day, we wear them out of respect to all the people that died fighting for freedom in world war 1 and 2. The popy itself came from a battle field known as flanders field, Shortly after ww1 had ended some went back to flanders field and where there was shell craters and other signs of war when the war was on there was poppys, so the poppy became the symbol of rememberence and the motto is lest we forget.

a poppy, to remember all those that have died in the wars. the money raised by the sale of these poppies goes to the victims or their families.

Diamante tattoos. They look absolutely divine and although they aren't 'actual' jewelery they can pass of as it. Think Shakira's back in her 'Hips Don't Lie' video. I'd go towards the classier ones with intricate designs rather than the tackier ones. They look really nice as a stand out item with a plain red or black backless dress.

How can I get a watch plated with silver?
Dec 30, 2008 by patrickrkreynolds | Posted in Chemistry
I have an old pendant watch. It was originally gold-plated silver. Now the gold has rubbed off in many places. I'd like to match it to a silver brooch for a present, and so would like to have the current goldish/silvery appearance re-plated, but this time with silver. I know. It seems idiotic to have some silver plated with silver, but it still has a bunch of the gold around it.) So my question is threefold: 1) Can I do this? It's a watch, after all, and can't really be immersed in anything. 2) If so, where/to whom would I go for this?, and 3) How much might this run me (generally)? It's a small pendant watch, about 1-1/2" in diameter. Thanks much!
The process of plating is typically done electrically. I do not know of any reason why you can't plate silver over gold.
Typically they will remove the guts of the watch and plate the frame, then reinstall the watch.
Especially if the watch is old, then it could be expensive due to liability for breaking the watch during the transfer. If you were open to replacing the clock portion with an updated clock (if the other one broke), it would probably be cheaper.
It is entirely possible to do this yourself (link below). You can do it fairly cheaply yourself.

Valentine's Day is Fast Approaching TheAlternativePress.com
05.02.10
That magical day is approaching. That one cold day in mid-February when you give your special someone a token of your love and affection, since unloading the dishwasher and putting down the toilet seat doesnt say "I love you" quite like a new bangle or brooch.
"Chocolate and flowers after a week are forgotten," said Leo Fasseas, owner of Leo Fasseas Jewelers in Livingston. "Jewelry is a lasting present and you dont need to break the bank to spoil your sweetheart. Keep in mind, all that glitters is not necessarily gold. Silver, colored gems, and other metals are affordable alternatives."
"You can find things for under $100 thats for sure," said Kathy Weijer, sales associate at Braunschweiger Jewelers in New Providence. The store also has locations in Morristown and Warren.
Braunschweiger Jewelers carries exciting looks in white metals and silver. For example, the items in the Elle Jewelry collection range from $50 to $200. Weijer described them as "Bright and upbeat looking with color and stones added."
In traditional jewelry store form, the packaging can be as beautiful as what lies inside. "Its a special celebration, a very festive occasion so we want it to look nice for our customers," said Weijer. At her store, the gift boxes are wrapped in gold paper with satin ribbon. This weekend, all Braunschweiger stores celebrate Super Sunday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. with discounts on selected items.
"Spring is right around the corner so they start thinking about spring colors so its a good time of year for a man to get something for a lady with a little zip to it, a little spring zest," said Joseph Falco Jr., owner of Rose City Jewelers/Gemologists, a family business in Madison for 62 years.
Falco specializes in really fine gemstones and colored stones such as tourmaline, rhodolite, black diamonds and Australian opals that appear illuminated. "Everything with color is really big," said Falco. "People are gravitating back to rubies and emeralds and we have these colored diamonds in pink-rose gold."
