Gold and silver jewelry from international dealers; fashion and costume jewellry shops in China, Bangkok, India, Eastern Europe, Israel, Spain, Italy, France (to mention only a few), as well as gemstone and pearl dealers around the world who offer discounts and have unique designs, may not use English as a main language, and yet their jewelry or jewellery or even jewellry (however they may erroneously spell it) is well worth investigating. And that’s exactly what we’ve done and found some fun results which we share. What happens when a main word of a promotion is misspelled? See for yourself what we’ve discovered:
Jewish Jewellry
Gorgeous jewelry made in Israel, like the star of David pendant, a gold menorah studded with rubies, and a delicate bangle bracelet with a single ruby – all handmade in Israel – that’s some of what can be found. We stumbled upon beautiful pendants with the Shema, which as I have come to understand (and those reading this probably already know) is a statement of devotion toward one true God, which is to be reaffirmed both at night and in the morning. The pendant is inscribed with the words: Love The Lord Your God, with one side in English and the other in Hebrew. Another beautifully crafted item in this collection is the Shema Mezuzah case in pewter.
Another discovery, in the Judaic jewelry collections (spelled a few different ways) was a gorgeous piece that’s not your average pendant: a breastplate crafted in sterling silver with a series of multicolored faux gems. Very striking for those who need a replica of the breastplates worn by the high priests in the ancient temple.
If a Hebrew wedding ring (engraved or sculpted) is what you’ve been searching for, then perhaps it’s time to spell jewelry incorrectly (as jewellry) and find the best solid gold ladies and mens bands online. Gold and silver sterling silver jewellry and bridal sets from Israel are available through the shop called Jewish Jewellry and also the adjacent store called Judaic.
Chinese Replica Wholesale Jewellry
Now we find ourselves in Asian…..and I think we’ve just bumped into some fake luxury Chanel copies, because Ceramic Rings Jewellry doesn’t seem like a mistake the real Chanel marketing department is likely to make. This is a very funny place to buy designer replicas because while the cheap rings are priced wholesale at about $49 each, their free shipping offer doesn’t come into effect unless you spend $999. However, it’s possible that if you buy a little faux designer silver jewellry that mimics Tiffany, Armani, Bvlgari, D&G, Dior and Gucci (and while you’re at it you through in a few really cheap replicated belts and imitation Hermes and Louis Vuitton Jewellery pieces), you might make up the total required.
By the way, this strange online shop, which has replicated almost every top European designer (albeit in a Chinese factory), is called Mirror Brands (which is strangely appropriate), and I’m sure it’s not attempting to cut into the profit of the genuine designer articles because it’s obvious the product lines are replicas. It might be a place to spend $1,000 if you need cheap designer jewelry, handbags and belts (copies anyway), but just be careful what brands you order, because speaking of misspelling things….check out D&G versus the Asian interpretation: D&C!
Silver Jewellry UK
I can’t explain why Zoo Jewellery in the UK (with very elegant stores in Salisbury, Winchester and Worthing, and who carry a beautiful array of high quality silver jewellery from all over the world), appear under misspelled jewellry stores, but they do….and what a pleasant surprise to find Celtic, ethnic and unique contemporary gemstone rings and jewellery that are absolutely striking! They even carry a collection of delicate Mackintosh Silver that replicated the sleek clean lines and gentle curves of the Charles Mackintosh styles.
HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show
There are even more things that can be discovered through misspelling and some are really hot news items, like: the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show which is the third biggest jewelry fair in the entire world with all the top designers and buyers from haute couture to gemstone dealers and artists and artisans. The next fair is not that far off, to be held on March 4th – 8th 2011 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. It may be a few months away, but for those jewellry stores and buyers who are planning their coming year’s collections and for those jewellry designers and exhibitors who will present their newest creations, it’s not a lot of time to prepare and plan. If you wish to attend the Exhibition as a visitor or register as an exhibitor, please visit the Hong Kong Trade Development Council – Exhibitions Department to register in advance.
It’s expected that the best Asian pearl jewelry, international gemstone, silver and gold traders, as well as those in specialized boutiques, will have similar, if not better exhibits than in 2010. There were (in 2010) areas for the World of Glamour, Hall of Fame and also the Hall of Nature where diamonds and pearls were showcased. There was also the Hall of Antique & Vintage Jewellery (which naturally with all the vintage and retro fashion we’re seeing) may be included again next year. The best way to know what’s hot is to be in Hong Kong in March!
Wholesale Costume Jewellry
If you’re looking for a new supplier of handmade jewellry or even unusual designs from around the world (and perhaps have exhausted the large manufacturers who know how to spell correctly), it’s worth a search for misspelled words because even Tradekey, one of the largest business to business directories of manufacturers (with over 3000000 importers & exporters) have been known to use the term “jewellry manufacturers” instead of the more correct spellings.
We discovered, through our misspelling search that there were some excellent wholesalers listed such as Tiptribe, and Sistertrade Co.(who specialize in Tiffany replicas) and lots of other Asian suppliers who use different ways to spell things although their products are on par with the better spelled ones.
Remember that spelling to many Chinese and Asian companies is not necessarily synonymous with low quality products. Why? It has to do with the Romanization or translation of words from “characters” to letters. In Mandarin Chinese (used by many companies in both Mainland China and Taiwan), the Romanized versions of Chinese characters are not standardized, which means that the spelling of very common words (even their own cities), may be very different depending on which Romanization system is employed.
A Chinese or Taiwanese manufacturer may not realize that in the West, the spelling of product or as another simpler example, one of their own city names such as Taipei (also Taibei, Daibei), will not appear to be the same city to a westerner, although to anyone in Taiwan it’s the name of the capital city no matter how its spelled; since it’s not in characters (and therefore incorrect anyway), it simply doesn’t matter.
It’s very common for the same word to be Romanized in three or four (or more) different ways, therefore making spelling an insignificant issue to a manufacturer who wishes to export his products to a Western buyer. The supplier may very well be making a wonderful set of affordable bridal jewellry without having any idea that the misspelled word in a B to B directory is costing him sales.
