Myth and legend state that is it unlucky to point at stars, rainbows or the sun or moon. This harkens back to pagan times when stars were thought to be gods. Those seeing falling stars on their right side will come into good luck, on the left – just the opposite.
Here is a Selection of Star Sightings
Necklaces
Broadway star Courtney Laine Mazza wore a single, silver, star pendant to the 18th Annual MTV Movie Awards on May 31, 2009. Dangling mid-chest from a simple chain necklace, this necklace was the perfect accessory to her silver-toned dress.
Looking for a similar look? Online vendor, Eve’s Addiction sells a 1-inch stainless steel star pendant hung from either an 18 or 20-inch link-chain. As a bonus, it’s also engraveable. Priced at $28, engraving costs an additional $9.
Stainless Steel Jewelry
Stainless steel is a less expensive alternative to sterling silver. It’s a steel alloy that gets its name because it does not stain or rust as easily as steel. The stainless part comes in because it repels stains – however, it is not totally stain-proof.
Used in the past for watchbands, this metal hit mainstream jewelry a few years ago and is now quite popular for both women’s and men’s jewelry. It’s easy to keep clean, rinse after wearing and buff dry with a soft cloth. Care should be taken when storing stainless steel jewelry – not because it’s fragile, but because stainless steel can damage softer metals such as karated gold, gold-filled and sterling.
