Karmaloop and Urban Culture

urban Karmaloop and Urban CultureI love Karmaloop, it is an impressive online store and resource for Urban and Streetwear Culture.
Polos, tshirts, jackets, pants… and also jewelry, belts, bags, housewares… headphones? Yes, also very stylish headphones. Why? In the Urban Culture, style and respect are very important, but also hip hop music, the source of everything.

Karmaloop and Urban Culture

When I speak about Urban Culture, I mean baggy shirts, baggy jeans, sneakers, hip hop and urban neighborhoods… and also jewelry, earrings, long chains.

Urban Wear has evolved over the years. You can find more aggressive styles lately along with very elegant and fashionable designs. Evolving is a good thing, nobody wants to always wear the same things for years, but of course if you follow the trends very closely, you’ll have to spend a lot to keep yourself up to date.

Nice thing about Urban Wear is that it has been influenced also by Japanese streetwear culture, and the ever evolving indie music scene. This brings to new trends and new ideas… and of course new ways to spend your money!

At Karmaloop you can find practically every kind of Urban Wear, every trend and every flavor. What matters is that all the clothing represents the city and is not mass produced. You’ll feel really cool with their apparel.

Prices are very good and you can create your own style easily with just few dollars. We can say that Karmaloop is at the cutting edge of the urban fashion market and sells everywhere in the world.

Baggy, brightly colored urban clothes are not only the culture of cities in United States. This style is going to be international and more and more customers from other parts of the world are being attracted by this fashion appeal.

The fascination of Thailand

thailand The fascination of ThailandI found this “new” website, 925e.com, its company is a wholesale silver jewelry supplier from Thailand (established in September 1995 in Bangkok, so I can say they have experience in online selling). Also, they have more than 30 employees; practically a well organized company in wholesale jewelry that has been serving thousands of customers from around the globe since 1995.

The fascination of Thailand

Ok, there are so many websites in the jewelry wholesale industry, why this one picked my attention? The reasons are many: the website graphics is simple but very effective and elegant, there are good discounts, an impressive availability of new products and designs every month, the prices are really low.

And, of course, in all the designs you can feel the fascination and traditions of a beautiful country like Thailand.

The Kingdom of Thailand is an independent country which lies in the heart of Southeast Asia. The country is bordered by Laos and Burma, Cambodia, Malaysia.

This is just to have an idea of where Thailand is and why it is so charming.

Thailand is one of the most strongly Buddhist countries in the world. The cultures and traditions in Thailand are significantly influenced by those of India, China, Cambodia. Thailand people are also well-known for their friendliness and hospitality, leading to the country’s so called reputation as the “Land of Smiles.”

The availability of elephants, exotic jungle and beach settings, relatively low production costs, and a mature domestic film industry that provides a legion of experienced crew members, have made Thailand also an attractive location for many Hollywood films and other foreign productions.

Films set in Thailand include “Around the World in Eighty Days”, “The Big Boss”, “The Man with the Golden Gun” and “The Beach”.

I’m sure you’ve seen one of these movies, so if you loved the settings, you loved Thailand natural landscapes, jungles and elephants.

And of course there is silver jewelry. Crafting silver jewelry is a long-standing tradition in Thailand.

You can find all the spirituality of this Buddhist country in the designs. Just browse 925e.com lists to have an idea of what I mean.

An intense trip in the profound Mexico

blue An intense trip in the profound MexicoJared W. Olen, founder of OlenJewelry.com, made an intense trip and his story is featured in this article. Olen Jewelry is an international retailer of high-quality, sterling silver jewelry. Jared told me a fascinating story about the campaign he will start soon and that will have the name Fair Trade Silver.

An intense trip in the profound Mexico

My idea for Fair Trade Silver came from a trip I took in May of 2006 to Mexico. My best friend, Kim, and I flew into Benito Júarez International Airport in Mexico City. We had worked since that January to plan a trip to see the “real” Mexico, that is, a trip that did not include staying in Americanized hotels and resorts.

While reading Jared story I thought, well, this is a really nice experience, in Mexico, culture and tradition are seen as central to life and society and Mexican people are profound and warm, not at all superficial. But you can’t understand their traditions if you stay in hotel. I continued to read his story…

My main goal for visiting Mexico was to visit Taxco in the Mexican state of Guerrero.

Taxco de Alarcón (Taxco) is a former colonial silver-mining center in the northern part of the Mexican state of Guerrero on the western arm of the Sierra Madre del Sur. It is located 200 km southwest of Mexico City along the old highway to Acapulco at an elevation of 1,800 m (5,900 ft).

…Taxco is known by many as the sterling silver capital of the world for it is home to countless shops that sell beautiful machine- and hand-crafted sterling silver jewelry made from silver mined just outside the town.

Taxco reminds me of quaint European town with its narrow, cobblestone streets and white-washed buildings that are perched on the side of a mountain. When one visits Taxco it is shocking to see how purely “un-Americanized” it really is. There are no Wal-Mart nor are there other corporate giants.

I love corporate giants :) and I would love to see a Wal-Mart in Italy, but this time I really envied Jared for this experience. The Aztecs founded a city they called “Tlacho”… what artistic treasures Jared will find?

…the silver trade in Taxco relies on buyers that travel from around Mexico, the United States, and the rest of the world to Taxco with cash in hand to purchase goods to bring back to their stores. I met many buyers there on their annual buying trips for stores in the United States and Canada. What really struck me, however, was the indigenous population that lives nearby.

Taxco has an “Indian Market” where indigenous people descend from the mountainside every day to display and sell hand-made goods to the citizens and visitors of Taxco. I thought to myself what a great idea it would be to establish a reliable international silver trade network between the silver shops and artisans in Taxco and the rest of the world.

As Olen Jewelry moves into the future, I am exploring the possibility of opening a community crafting center in or around Taxco where local artisans can use the workspace for free to create their jewelry. I will then bring their goods to the United States where they can be sold to the mass-market. All artisans will receive the majority of the proceeds from the sale of their jewelry. In this way, those people who do not have the money to invest in equipment and raw materials can still put themselves to work creating jewelry that truly is an expression of themselves and of Mexico.

This is admirable… well, a good business idea, of course, but also admirable, indeed. And we wish Jared to succeed in this project! We’ll post an update about this in the future.

A True Hero, Founder of $10,000 Diamond Earrings

garb A True Hero, Founder of $10,000 Diamond Earrings This is a very nice story from JewelryDays.com Blog. Thanks to Sheila Garcia for this!

MADISON, Wis. – A garbage truck operator is being hailed as a hero for finding $10,000 worth of diamonds that had accidentally been thrown away.

“We got a call from a customer that had some earrings in the garbage,” said front-load truck operator Ron Lund.

At Pellitteri Waste, where Mr. Lund works, those types of calls come in about once a month so he really wasn’t surprised, though these were no average earrings. They were $10,000 diamond earrings from a local jewelry store, WISC-TV reported.

What surprised him is he actually found them! “I’m thinking, ‘No way, I’ll never find them,’” said Lund. “I told them, ‘Good Luck,’” he laughed. On his route, Lund picks up garbage from more than 130 businesses, including the jeweler. “I was thinking, ‘Little diamonds versus 30,000 pounds of garbage,’” said Lund. “No way.”

But, those little diamonds got him looking.

“I kind of knew where the store was on the load,” said Lund. “So I drove forward to lay it out.” And the digging began. “I grabbed a bag and started looking in there and that’s where I found them,” said Lund. “I found one first then I thought the other’s got to be in the bag, and I found the other one.” It took him a total of eight minutes. “I was just surprised I found them,” said Lund. “I’m surprised anybody would find them.”

The business owner gave him an $80 reward.

Lund said that he decided to try his luck again. “I already spent it,” he said. “I went and bought Powerball tickets. I figure I found the earrings, I’ll buy the tickets and maybe I’ll get lucky.” Lund also admitted he once dumped all his keys into the garbage, and was lucky enough to find them, too.

Ana Davila (JewelryDays.com) commented this way:

What a very remarkable deed (..and luck!) done by Ron Lund! Who would have thought you could find something tiny and valuable in heaps of trash. What I did not like about the incident though, was that the company only gave kind, hardworking, and honest Mr. Lund only 80 bucks. I mean, for something worth $10,000? They could have at least given him a thousand, 500, or even just make it a hundred. I just think he deserves more than 80. Surprisingly, amidst all the surprises, Mr. Lund was happy about it and bought himself Powerball tickets. I commend Mr. Ron Lund for a job well done, not only being honest, but someone who does good without asking for anything in a return. Ron Lund, you are a true hero and a fine example for us all!

Has the internet changed your life?

The internet was an amazing technological breakthrough. We have had the internet for so long now that it makes a person wonder how they functioned without it.The internet has changed our lives in so many ways. We spend less money using the internet. We spend less money on postage, envelope, and paper when writing a friend or family member a letter. We can type a letter and hit the send button and they have it in a matter of minutes rather than days or weeks. Plus you don’t have to take the time to drive to the Post Office, stand in line, and spend money on stamps.

The internet has also shaped up real nice for selling items. From the small mom and pop type businesses to the big corporations, every business has a website now. With shopping carts by Paypal and others, the internet has made it so easy to shop online. No longer are the days where we would mail a payment and order form to a company and wait 6-8 weeks to get the items. The internet is the way to do it!

People can now work at home because of the internet. Company websites and software can now be accessed through terminal servers so more people are being given the ability to work from home. It’s a win-win for both the employee and the company. The employee saves money on clothes, gas, and food while the company saves money on rent, electricity, and other things. Because of the internet, people now have the ability to work from the comfort of their living room.

Whether you send a letter to a friend online, shop online, or work for corporate America or for yourself online, the internet has changed your life. I’m sure there are many more changes to come, so dig in and learn all you can.
