Here at Mykonos, we have worked hard to establish our dealer level as a shop-in-shop. We carry everything PANDORA; therefore, PANDORA gives our store a higher priority for orders. For example, if a certain bead is backordered Mykonos moves to the ‘top of the list’ to get our order filled first. This becomes especially important during new releases (we received our Spring 2009 order March 25th, 2009), and during the holidays for seasonal charms; like our Pandora Christmas Beads. If we don’t have something in stock odds are no other PANDORA dealer does, and we will get it first! If you are looking for speedy service, exclusive items, or last minute hard to find charms look no further—Mykonos has it all!
Geographically, PANDORA dealers have limitations in regard to who they can sell to. Authorized PANDORA dealers in North America can only sell PANDORA to customers in North America. Whether you live in New York, California, Ohio, Connecticut, Massachusetts, or here in Pennsylvania, you can purchase authorized PANDORA from our online store.
Purchasing PANDORA from online auction sites such as E-Bay or Craigslist can be extremely risky and dangerous. Consumers are often duped into buying non-authentic charms and ‘knock-off’ replicas. Only purchase PANDORA from authorized PANDORA dealers! Having genuine PANDORA products becomes especially important as far as PANDORA product guarantees, repairs, and warranties. Non -authentic products on bracelets are the most common ‘no-no’ we experience in-store. Your PANDORA bracelet warranty is VOIDED once any non-PANDORA product is placed on your bracelet. DON’T RISK IT!

The use of pearl in these days is not only limited to the use of pearl earrings, but is also used in various other styles, since there happens to be a great demand from the people. The foremost of them are the pearl stud earrings. This has gained a great admiration in the recent years, since the pearl stud earrings are also well-designed in appearance. But it is true that they are modest and beautiful, but in no way are loud accessories. If you ever have those in your wardrobe or showcase, they are going to have great compliments, and whether you have it in stylish gown or a simple blouse and jeans, they will glitter in the same manner. After all, the pearl stud earrings are a wonderful fashion statement!
Well, we though talk of the pearl stud earrings very often, but in reality we are not much aware of their compositions. It is to be taken into consideration at the very outset that the pearl stud earrings happen to be beautiful due the presence of pearls to it. Now, at the time of buying pearls it is extremely necessary to consider several aspects, of which the shape, size, color, texture and luster are of prime importance. In the respect of pearl stud earrings the shape of the pearls has a highly significant role.
Why? The pearls do come in different shapes and the three main categories are spherical, symmetrical and baroque. In this case, the round and near-round pearls are considered spherical. In addition, while the drop, oval and button pearls are considered symmetrical, the pearls that are irregular and abstract in shape are the baroque pearls. But it is certainly not enough to know only the shapes. You must also be quite confident of the sizes. Remember that the size of the pearl is determined by the measurement of its diameter in millimeters. In general, it is learnt, that the value of the pearl heightens with the size of the pearl.
You can find at best the pearls that range between 5 to 7.5 mm. in the market. In respect of color you shall also have to be crystal clear. It is a general fact, that a pearl can have a different color ranging from the usual white and cream to green, gold, blue and black, only by the means of dependence on the mollusk or oyster that produced it. The color of a pearl is determined by the efficacy of the body color and overtone. Body color is the main color of the pearl while overtone is the iridescent tint that is found on its surface, on top of the main color.
You shall also have to be confident both about the texture and luster. While the bumps, spots and irregularities can affect the quality of the pearl, the luster affects the reflectivity of the pearl. The better it reflects light and surrounding objects, the better its quality. On the other hand, in respect of the pearl stud earrings combination, the pearls are the kind of gemstones that can work well when combined with other precious and semi-precious stones. It can work well with smaller diamonds, rubies or emeralds and can even shine with jade, garnet or moonstone.
There is no doubt that in all measures, the pearl stud earrings are still an elegant choice. Lastly, there is also a great need to tale proper care of the pearl stud earrings. The reason is, since the pearls are delicate organic gemstones they must be treated with special care. You shall have to keeping mind, that they are softer and easily scratched or cracked, once there is a single damage, in spite of great efforts none can restore the beauty.
What a strange day today was. Claudia had a meeting from 10 – 12:30, and then another from 2 until 3:30. Felt bad for her, esp since A’s meeting should have been me attending, but it is what it is. She reports neither was too bad; A’s was really them just planning out his day, and then D’s they either want him to be w/ Claudia and other kids maybe at BSE, or at Wings if there are no other kids coming in. If Claudia is not with D next year … she’d be in some kind of resource room situation at Heath … with Z. Either option is really intense, so I don’t know which to hope she gets more. Oh Z; his tutor sent us an email today with Z’s responses to the questionnaire, and he added a little caviat-esque thing that said, “oh, I didn’t know E and D were real kids in his class. I thought he was just using his imagination, creating characters and then blaming them when something happened”. HILARIOUS. What a little character.
Que mas? AB and I started out really well, but then we had an assembly a 10:30. It was the high school select chorus, including MISS ELIZA, wearing adorable tuxedoes and singing. My guys were there, too, and E and D survived the first 2 ½ of 6 songs, and A left too, but he went back in when I said we would be doing work. E and D went w/ Mr. Levine, which I felt might be unnecessary since he was enjoying the performance, but that’s how it happened.
E came back in from cash-in, and Parker asked me to circle D’s safebody point because he wouldn’t leave the gym. E told A to sign off, I told him that A still had 3 minutes because he’d been using the comp earlier for Math, not his cash-in. I turn around, and E is at the back table, with his binder out, starting to work on a Math sheet. FOR SERIOUS. There were about 2 minutes left until hand washing time, and he took the initiative to try to start Math. MEGA-points awarded for that.
Not much to report for lunch; A made a new gross food combo, consisting of marinara sauce and … cinnamon applesauce. I couldn’t watch him eat, but he enjoyed it, so whatever. Recess proved to be a bit interesting. Parker comes out while I’m talking to a sad Cori (SH! I gave her gum! SH!), and says, “can I talk to you for a minute?” and pulls me aside and I’m like ‘uh oh, what did I do now that was bad/offensive?’. Not me; somehow, while D was at E’s house this weekend, he came into possession of this gold bracelet with 3 little orbs on it. He planned on giving it to Emilly, but Parker saw the box and it had a hefty price tag on it, so we agreed he shouldn’t give it to her before we talked to all the adults involved. Inside, he DID give it to her, but I went to catch up to her and she and Kiarah were like ‘D keeps giving Em all this jewelry and we give it back to him and he gives it back’, and she’s clearly uncomfortable with all of it. We need to have a chat about that.
Then we watched the adoooooooooooorable 6th graders (who attacked me with flowers at recess) put on their play about the first ladies. Very, very cute, even if hard to hear/understand sometimes, but they did a good job. And my boys were able to sit through the whole 40 minutes, really politely. Issue at 2nd recess where D came in swearing and threatening (he’s baaaaaaaaack), but it was quite contained all things considered. A also got in trouble with Larry and Cynthia for not listening. E and Parker cashed in next door, and then D had SAID he wanted to just miss first cash-in tomo, but then came back because Parker rationalized that it was just 4 minutes today. He changed his mind and took that option, but owes us time tomorrow because he really only served about 2 minutes.
Lastly, Parker taught E today about ‘raising the bar’ or ‘setting the bar too high’ with girlfriends/presents. He told us he doesn’t buy his girlfriend anything. He does the dishes sometimes, and he cleans out the catbox, and that’s about it. Wow; she is a lucky lady.
I just got off the phone with my good friend and brilliant jewelry designer Stephen Webster and remembered I needed to show you the preview of his new ad campaign with Christina Aguilera. This is the second time the songstress and designer have paired up to shoot ads for Webster's jewelry, and the results are great. The bold silver cuffs are right on target for the Jumbo Jewels we talked about last week and I love Christina's toned-down makeup. If you want to see a short clip from the shoot, click on the video below.
