I've worked for so many years in the industry, and everyday people ask me if the jewelry will tarnish?

Well,  to educate all of us out there if silver doesn't tarnish it's not silver. Gold also tarnishes it's a chemical reaction that occurs when expose the metal to oxygen and the humidity were you store your jewel.

I always advise to my clients to store their investment in a plastic bag that I provide for them,  but you can store them in your everyday zip lock bag. With each jewelry purchase from us you also get a silk bag for storage apart from being a cute addition it can also prevents any damage to you lovely jewelry.

So that said.   I am going to let you on a trick to clean your jewels. As we wear them our body oils help them tarnish also, so it's good that once a month you take all of your silver and gold (not costume of gold plate I will give you another tip on those on another post). and clean them.

 You will need a aluminium tray a baking soda and hot boiling water. First dip your jewels in the hot water dry them and later put them on the tray.  Sprinkle baking soda over them, and when your boiling water is ready just pour it onto the tray. You will notice a rotten smell that is sulfur, it's a good sign. This means that its working.  Then rinse the jewelry with some warm water and regular dish washing soap.

Put them on a towel to dry, And Voila!

They're ready to go out to your next event. If you have any question or just to tell us your experience please write to fevireyes@gmail.com

So be Fabulous!

Discoteca New Additions and The Fangtabulous Collection

Pieces to Die for!

Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in many cultures and in spite of speculation by literary historian Brian Frost that the "belief in vampires and bloodsucking demons is as old as man himself", and may go back to "prehistoric times" the term vampire was not popularized until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe, although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. That said I was very fond of vampires I was first introduced to Author Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series (1976-2003). Later enjoyed Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire Mysteries in 2001, now turned into the popular TV Series True Blood and Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter 1993. So that said, The Fangtabulous Collection was born. Here are our best sellers.

I Am Seeing Spots

I am on a hunt for the perfect long animal print trench. But I wanted it to be light. Here in South Florida only gets cold in the morning and I mean no more than 50. But I still want to wear one. I love animal prints since I can remember. I own shoes, scarfs. blouses, dresses. But yet I need to find my trench. I saw this pic of one of my style Icons wearing he perfect one. Yeah! Ms Moss she always does it right!

Ahoy Sailor! @ Dior

I had to put my other reviews on hold. Because when I saw the Dior Spring 2011 Show, I just had to share it with all of you. John Galliano is known for his showmanship extravagant and over the top pieces. I was not disappointed. The show was brilliant colorful and very commercial. I can see many women walking around with all of these sexy dresses. It was like a bombshell modern girl waiting for her sailor to sweep her of her feet. Loved it!

I typically design for younger clients, under 25 years old. More girls than women. I would describe her as fun, quirky, and a little bit on the insane side. What are some of your accomplishments as a designer?


Interning at Heatherette was an amazing experience. Have shown at fashion events across the country, as well as competed in St. Louis, “project design” a showcase for emerging designers 2 years in a row. Who are some of your favorite designers?

I consider my designs to be more art than fashion. Oftentimes conceptual runway pieces are my favorites.






FB. What's your favorite part about conceptualizing a design?


My favorite part is imagining my muse wearing the design, asking those questions, “who is this person?” and “Where is she going”, that’s my favorite part because it is all about dreaming and using your imagination.


FB.What matters to you most as a fashion designer?


AJ. What matters to me most is that people are excited about my designs. I don’t care if people love it or hate it as long as they have a reaction.




FB. Has your design esthetic changed during the show?


I certainly found a new side to my aesthetic, I wouldn’t say that it has changed, but it is certainly more well rounded than before. The clothes I am making now show much more variety than before. How has Project Runway affected your life?


Project Runway has changed everything. Life now is full of opportunities that only a few months ago would have been impossible.

AJ. I love Casanova’s designs because they are so over the top. I also think that April and Mondo have really fun and exciting work.




FB. Who do you think is you biggest competitor on the show?


AJ. Mondo was definitely competition for me because we both draw inspiration from similar places., and Valerie was someone who made it clear right off the bat that she really wanted to win.




FB. How are your friends reacting to your appearance on the show?


AJ. All of them have been incredibly proud and supportive




FB. Have you had any other type of contact (like socializing) with the judges?


AJ. The only contact I have had was what you see on the show.




FB. After the show what are your plan with your business?

FB Do you Google your name?


AJ. Of course, it’s hard to resist






Any last words?

Around The World With Tracy Yapp

Fevi Reyes Sparkling Lotus Ring in Oregon

Photo by Tracy Yapp

Another delightful vacation for my dear friend Tracy. Although she travels around the globe working her bad ass photography she always take time to relax. But she never forgetting her camera. Here she sent me some pics of her own Fevi Reyes Sparkling Lotus Ring in Oregon. I love how nice the texture and the color of the surroundings make the piece look even more amazing. I also love that she send me pictures.

Fevi Facts:
Lotus flowers are amazing and have strong symbolic ties to many Asian religions especially throughout India. The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower.


Within Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower has become a symbol for awakening to the spiritual reality of life. The meaning varies slightly between the two religions of course but essentially both religious traditions place importance on the lotus flower.

Eat Pray Love For The Fab Girls

New Zirconia Pave Punk Malas

Malas are prayer or rosary beads used for reciting repetitions of prayers or chants called "mantras," and help to facilitate ritualized meditation practice. They have been used for thousands of years in Tibetan, Indian, Chinese, Japanese Buddhism and Hinduism. Prayer beads in different forms are used in Christianity and Islam as well.

My interpretation of the Mala has 23 beads  and a edgy flair that depending on the malas bracelet that you choose has these beautiful zirconia pave bead either in dark finish, gold or silver. You decide! I love to stack them with each designs and other malas that I've created.
