The Meaning of Neon Colors

So where did the idea of Neon come from? In 1898 Neon was discovered  when a chemist Sir William Ramsay chilled a sample of the atmosphere until it became a liquid and captured the gases as they boiled off. The gases that boiled off, in addition to nitrogen and argon, were NEON.

For this summer season MWL is incorporating neon colors in its collections. Neon peeked in the 80's, when one out of every three American's owned a piece of clothing decked out in the glowing colors. And in recent years neon has made a comeback! Neon colors are bold, bright and luminous colors that express a cheerful, positive and optimistic attitude for the wearer. Neon colors delight us all with energy and spirit of the times. 

These are just some bracelets from the Love Gold Collection which have incorporated various neon colors.

 Embrace the glow of neon with MWL.

The Meaning of Hamsa

In MWL's jewelry, the use of hamsa is reflected in some of the collections. The meaning behind this palm-shaped amulet is popular throughout the Middle East and North America and is commonly used in jewelry.

Meaning of Hamsa 

Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, the hamsa is believed to provide defense against the evil eyes. 

In addition to being shaped like an oddly formed hand, many hamsas will have an eye displayed in the palm of the hand. The eye is thought to be a powerful talisman against the “evil eye.” The evil eye is a certain “look” that can cause bad luck for the person at whom it is directed. This “look” often originates with a person, though not always intentionally. Legends about the evil eye give both regular people and those with certain powers the ability to cast the evil eye. Envy is most often cited as the unintentional source of the evil eye. 

Check out MWL’s bracelets for the perfect hamsa bracelet for you.

How to Layer Bracelets

Layering bracelets also known as, arm candy, can be fun. It really enhances a very simple outfit. When layering you want to consider what you're wearing and what kind of look you want to portray. 


Here are some basic tips on how to layer bracelets:

1. You want to only mix and match bracelets on one arm. Piling on bracelets on both can get too distracting. However, if you do decide to wear bracelets on both arms you want one arm to be simple with thinner bracelets.  Remember more is less. 

2. Don't be afraid to use a watch when stacking bracelets. You can mix and match both bold and simple pieces with your watch. Also you can stack with similar colors such as, all gold or silver. Or mix and match with colors such as gold and white or black beads; silver and blue or pink beads. 

3. You only want to pile on bracelets when wearing a solid color outfits, nothing that is super busy or patterned.

4. You can create a specific theme when stacking your bracelets. For instance, you can wear all silver or all beaded bracelets  Maybe if you want an edgy look you can wear bracelets with spikes, skulls, snakes and chains. Or if you want more of a clean and simple look you can blend different color beads and textures for a more polished arm party that still has a lot of flavor. Take a look at our different collections for different theme variations!

5. Don't be afraid to mix metals such as, silvers, golds and blacks. They have the potential to look amazing. 

There aren't any specific rules, it's all about experimenting. Look at all your bracelets and see what works together. You'll be surprised with what you come up with. The beauty if stacking bracelets is that the possibilities are endless. Adding your own style and twist by stacking bracelets can be fun but it allows you to be creative and unique.
