What Women Want

Now i could sit here and tell you all about the likes and dislikes of the female members of the human family, but remember, this site is mainly focusing on jewelry, or jewellery as the English would prefer to spell it, not just likes and dislikes in general.

My wife really likes sparkly things. She’s always hanging little lights up and down and around the curtains, and waits anxiously for any excuse to turn them on. Now, we ‘blokes’ as the Auzzie’s call them, are more concerned about whether the curtains keep the sun out or give the house a measure of privacy, rather than the way they look.

And i guess, the same thing applies to jewelry. Its not that we men don’t like gemstones. As a matter of fact, i am totally fascinated, particularly with the Australian Opal. How its possible for the creator to have arranged that tiny spheres in the surface of the stone, grab various colors from the spectrum and bounce them back and forth in different patterns, as if to jam a bunch of rubies [red], emeralds [green], Citrines [yellow], amethysts [purple], sapphires [blue,yellow,green] and whatever other colored gem you could think of, all into one tiny rock.

But the ladies like to wear them, not just glare at them through the front window of a shop. The other day is saw our TV newsreader lady, displaying the most magnificent bunch of colored gems i have ever seen around one neck. The necklace was the largest feature of her outfit. It was so stunning that it took the attention away from the news, which perhaps, is not such a bad idea nowadays. [smile]

So what do women want? Jewellery wise, they want just that. and lots of it! So take notice you guys and keep looking for future articles on this blog which will enlarge on this subject drastically, and give you some pretty good tips on how to keep that girl happy with lots of sparkly things.
