Kramer of New York Collectible Costume Jewelry

This was a high end costume jewelry company founded by Louis Kramer in 1943 in New York City. He named the company "Kramer Jewelry Creations". Their well designed pieces specialized in rare stones, quality rhinestones, and beads which many times were incorporated into figural and whimsical pins. During the peak years of the company, 1950's through 1960's, Kramer made jewelry for Christian Dior. These pieces are highly sought after and therefore valuable collectibles. The business sadly closed its doors in 1980 because of cultural changes which were looking for more natural type jewelry instead of the striking glamorous statement making jewelry which Kramer was so famous for.

If the cold, dreary, winter blues have got you feeling down try lifting your spirits by wearing something yellow. This color helps to protect against depression and feeling down. When wearing this hue you elicite a cheerful and uplifting energy among yourself and others.

A nice bright, pure yellow color helps to keep your mind clear and enables you to have better decision making. It gives you the ability to express yourself clearly without fear. This is a great color to use when writing and giving speeches as it increases your fluency and power with words.

Yellow is the color connected with the Solar Plexus chakra and is associated with identity.

Go Green in Your Clothing Closet!

Continuing from yesterday's post on the symbolism and effects of wearing certain colors today I am going to discuss the color of green.

Wearing green helps to activate growth, balance and harmony in your life. It's a color of happy, healthy relationships. The heart chakra contains the color of green which deals with the higher consciousness and love.

If you are feeling out of balance or the need for a change toss a little green into your life. Especially wear this color on a day when you need the courage and freedom to pursue new ideas or trying out a new activity.

I am personally drawn to the color of green in my clothing choices and was happy to find out that another ability it has is the protection from fears and anxieties connected with the demands of others. Being a mother and a Pisces to boot, I definitely need help in that category! I think this weekend it might be time to go shop and add some more green wardrobe choices.

Right now in my eBay store I have some great options to add a bit of green to your clothing collection. So please stop by and browse.
