Great Earth Day Fashion Finds
By Style Expert Amy Gordon
http://www.galtime.com/index.php/web/857-earthdayfashion
The newest trend in fashion isn’t as much a specific look as it is social responsibility. Of course, there are runway looks that we are paying attention to, but top designers are equally focused on eco-friendly designs and manufacturing.
So for Earth Day 2010, we are celebrating the fantastic and stylish green products that are available today!
Several years ago, eco-friendly fashions we hard to find and not very impressive. Today, they are fantastic and fashionable.
I’ve put together a list of my favorite finds for Earth Day 2010 and will explain why they are green.
2. Pick Your Letters Neck By Sima Gilady:
I love this concept: custom, reasonably priced, and recycled! Gilady works with recycled metals and limits her use of oxides, patinas, and other potentially harmful chemicals. Her collection has a variety of beautiful pieces. I adore this piece in particular as it mixes gold, silver, and sparkle. I chose to customize with each of my dogs names but the options are endless. These are fantastic gifts for mothers, grandmothers, or to celebrate a special occasion.

There's something about becoming a mom that makes you really like things with your kids names on it. I'm not quite sure what it is and I never got it before having children of my own. But now I'm in love with pretty necklaces that shout to the world these are my kids names and I love them. Makes me feel special I guess. You can give that feeling too with these cool gift ideas, perfect for a baby shower, Mother's Day or just because...
Sima Gilady Jewelry makes beautiful jewelry that is handmade by a mom artisan. The Family necklace, in particular, is perfect for moms as it is custom made with names of your family.

The Alphabet Ain’t Just for Soup and Cereal…by Christabelle With a summer of weddings, baby showers, Bat Mitzvahs and graduations ahead of me…I went on a hunt for fabulous, affordable and memorable gift ideas.

Can you offer a new mom a more beautiful treasure than a necklace bearing the name or initial of her bundle of joy?

Great Press - My Heart Is For You, In A Biblical Way.By Bryce-Oct 2nd, 2009 -Category- FASHION- Jewelry-Shoes and Accessories
{Again,THANK YOU so much Bryce for the beautiful press}
"I’m a big fan of shopping on Etsy, especially for jewelry. There’s nothing better than handmade, unique jewelry. Forgive me, but jewelry is a personal thing, and wearing the same Tiffany bracelet as everyone else is basically the fast way to say “Hey I’m stuck in 1999 and I have no sense of style.”
So, thank you, Sima Gilady. Your personalized jewelry rocks my world, and it’s almost all under $100. My personal favorite is this “My Heart is for You” necklace made of sterling silver and is somehow only $29! Holy crap, best small gift ever. Write someone’s name in Hebrew… how fun!? It’s like “Hey, I love you, and I want to write your name in a language I don’t speak.” Best friend’s birthday? Personalize a heart! Sister-in-law just got engaged? Give her a heart with her sweetie’s name! Just had a baby? Get one with your bubbeleh’s name!

My Fave Chanukkah Gift --- By Bryce - www.theluxuryspot.com
Bryce Dec 12th, 2009
If you’re still looking for a Chanukkah gift, don’t worry, I got your back. Cute, delicate necklaces are all the rage for winter and spring 2010, which means all you have to do is find one that you can personalize.
I’ve been wearing my Sima Gilady sterling silver necklaces (I have 2) literally every day. I have one on an elegant and simple silver chain with a thin hammered silver disc pendant that says my son’s name, Benjamin, in Hebrew on one side and English on the other. But, if you don’t care for any Hebrew text, you can choose whatever text you want. Write your anniversary date, “Shmookie” for your dog, or some inside joke between you and your best friend. For $28, I seriously can’t think of a better gift. This is one of my Sima Gilady necklaces, and translates to “Binyamin” the Hebrew version of Benjamin, which means “son of my strengths.”
T H A N K YOU my dear . Bryce is a Manhattanite mom that can be found jet-setting off to every corner of the globe. She loves exotic places, trying adventurous cuisines, artisan fashions, and apothecary-type beauty products.

Do It All Mamas (& Papas)
By:December 17, 10:17 PMEarly Childhood Parenting ExaminerAngele Sionna
Sima and her family In today's Do It All Mamas (& Papas) the spotlight is on Sima Gilady, mommy to Leah (17), Maya (14), Yonatan (5) and Eden (3) and the designer of SimaG Jewelry. I have two of Sima's necklaces and they are beautiful. Among my very favorites to wear.
Read my review HERE. Examiner: Tell me something unique/interesting about yourself. Sima: I born and raised in Israel .I got married and moved to Boulder ,Colorado, then I started my career as esthetician, had 2 girls and had to close my shop due to hard time with my third pregnancy. I wanted to be home with my kids and be there when they come home from school.Art & Jewelry has been my passion in my life, since I was a child, I considered myself an artist. so staying home has been a blessing in many ways.I love my life, my kids and my husband who always supports my work and my dreams. I LOVE my job, and I believe it shows. I create my beautiful jewelry at my home while my 4 kids at school. After 3pm, I am my kids mother and my husband wife.
Examiner: What is your business all about? Sima: SPREADING YOUR LOVE ♥ ONE LETTER AT A TIME ♥ Personalized Jewelry In Hebrew & English. Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves. I prefer to wear mine around my neck.(http://www.simag.etsy.com/ and soon my very own website :) http://www.simagilady.com/)
Examiner: What is your favorite product that you make or sell and why do you like or recommend it? Sima: My very favorite product is my spiral shape necklace.Two years ago I create the first spiral design on Etsy. I stamped my family around the disc as a spiral, snail shape.Since I was a kids i always drew snails, took photos of shells and any thing that looks like a spiral is mine. I have to buy that. The spiral shape to me is: Journey... Balance Progress Direction Initiation Centering Expanding Awareness Connection Journeying Development. Family."The Human Mind Always Makes Progress,But It Is A Progress In Spirals."~Madame De Stael
Examiner: Why did you start your business? Sima: I wanted to find a great piece of jewelry to represent my family and found nothing that was "one of a kind." Then i bought my first stamp letters few years ago and created my family and friend a great keepsake. I love that every disc is unique in that you can personalize each tag, "every disc has a story".
Examiner: What secret do you have to share with other parents about "having it all" with your family and business? Sima: Creating jewelry and running my jewelry shop, I try to keep my life in balance by exercising and walking everyday. I try to volunteer at my kids school, to have a date with my husband and my big girls 17 and 14. It is very important to me to spend some time with them, while the little boys with their daddy.My family and I love traveling and exploring the world, it is very important to us to take time from work and busy life.
Examiner: What is the number one piece of advice you have for other parents? Sima: Enjoy your family, your spouse.your kids they grow too fast. Find the time to read to your kids,To hug them and say :"I love you" Keep your family priorities. To bake together.
Examiner: What is your (and your kids) favorite family activity? Sima: We live in in beautiful Colorado. We love the mountain, we hike in the summer. The girls water ski and we ski in the winter.
Examiner: Anything else you want to add? Sima: I LOVE MY WORK! I truly see each custom personalized design as my opportunity to share in the life of that family through joyous occasions such as a birthday or holiday or wedding and through their sadness in my pieces of remembrance in sharing a family's loss. I create every piece with love, one letter at a time - it's the ultimate personal experience for me. This isn't just a job for me, it's a great passion and blessing, to be able to be a part of a family's story - even if just in that short moment of time. I never forget a family's special request for a custom order and every time I duplicate that certain piece, I'm taken back to the wonderful unique stories that my work allows me to share with my community.
{Thank You so much "Angele Sionna" for featuring me in your website}

The Bright Side Project is here to bring you sunshine every day with themed, daily giveaways. We hope to inspire you to stop - Necklace Giveaway Simag
Friday, March 12, 2010 :: Written by: Miss Krista
I am a firm believer that when something is created out of love, it shows. There is an intangible beauty that lives in authenticity, a simple perfection that cannot be faked. Sima Gilady, of Sima G Jewelry, is a shining example of my theory at work. Gilady looks at each custom design as an opportunity to share in the life of the family she is creating for and translates this respect and honor into beautiful pieces destined to be handed down generation after generation. I have a hard time deciding which pieces I would want to add to my collection and find myself justifying the purchase of a small handful. The “My Three Wishes” necklace would be stamped with three reasons to be grateful every single day. The “Circle of Joy” necklace (featuring the very first stamped spiral design on Etsy) has me penning multiple options, begging the purchase of more than one. The simple and unique design of the “Sweet Heart” necklace is so beautiful I actually gasped out loud when I saw it. If that’s not a testament to beautiful design, I don’t know what is. Sima G Jewelry is a tangible reminder to enjoy the life we’re living. These unique and custom designs serve as gentle nudges toward the authentic in all of us. Sima Gilady loves what she does. It shows.
…………. Miss Krista, our Weekend Editor, is a mother, a lover and a big believer in the power of a cupcake. She loves double entendres but is not a fan of the high-five. She blogs about the corners of her heart at my life as i see it.
Sima G will be giving away two custom gold-filled hammered ½” disc necklace adorned with a delicate cubic zirconia in the center to two lucky winners. Each necklace will fit 13 letters of your choice.
For your chance to win, please answer the following question by Friday, March 19th. http://thebrightsideproject.com/archives/3794
Sima loves good quotes and hangs them around the house for her family to read. One of her favorites is “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” by Mary Engelbreit. What quote inspires you? Please begin checking the winners box on March 24, 2010 to see if you’ve won. Good luck!
