How to Elevate Your Everyday Style with Jewelry from Riss Jewels
When we think of jewelry, we often picture it as the finishing touch to an outfit, or something to wear only for special occasions. At Riss Jewels, I see it differently. Jewelry is not just for accessorizing, it can elevate your identity, confidence, and lifestyle. That belief shapes every piece in Riss Jewelโs collections and is the heart of what I call The RJ Way.The RJ WAY
The RJ Way is simple: timeless, chic, and affordable luxury that seamlessly moves with you through your everyday moments. Whether youโre running errands, enjoying dinner with friends, or carving out time for self-care, Riss Jewels is designed to make you feel effortlessly confident, stylish, and seen. Riss pieces arenโt here to change who you are, theyโre here to amplify you.
Every collection is thoughtfully crafted to blend into your life, not compete with it. That means versatile chains that layer beautifully, sleek beaded bracelets that pair with any outfit, and understated details that transition effortlessly from day to night. These pieces are more than adornments; they are reminders of your own elevated essence.
Choosing Riss Jewels means choosing jewelry that feels like you, just elevated. Itโs a commitment to quality, style, and authenticity that doesnโt demand attention but naturally draws it. That includes not rushing trends but creating a lifestyle that lasts, one piece at a time.
So, how can Riss Jewels elevate your everyday? By helping you wear your confidence, embrace your style, and live each moment with timeless ease.

6 Step Ultimate Jewelry Care: How to Clean Your Precious Pieces
Ultimate Guide to Clean Gold-Filled, Stainless Steel, and Sterling Silver Accessories
Proper cleanings can make all the difference in maintaining jewelry beauty and longevity. Hereโs a simple, step-by-step guide to keep your favorite pieces stay polished and pristine.
Step 1: Soak Your Jewelry
Start by gathering a bowl of warm water mixed with mild soap. Let your jewelry soak in this solution for up to five minutes. This gentle soak will loosen dirt and oils, making it easier to clean.
Step 2: Use a Soft-Bristled Toothbrush
Once soaked, gently scrub your jewelry using a soft-bristled toothbrush. This step removes any stubborn buildup, especially in hard-to-reach areas like engravings or intricate designs.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
Rinse the jewelry thoroughly under clean water to wash away any soap residue. Use a soft, lint-free towel to pat your jewelry dry, then leave it to air dry completely. This ensures thereโs no lingering moisture that can tarnish your piece.
Step 4: Wear Professional Jewelry Gloves
When handling clean jewelry, use professional jewelry gloves to prevent fingerprints and smudges. These gloves are a must-have for keeping your pieces looking their best during the polishing process.
Step 5: Polish to Perfection
Using a high-quality jewelry polishing cloth, gently polish your jewelry to restore its shine. Pay special attention to dull or tarnished areas, and youโll see your pieces sparkle like new.
Step 6: Store Safely
Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, like as a jewelry box. Proper storage helps prevent scratches, tarnishing, and exposure to moisture, ensuring your jewelry remains in top condition.
Why Proper Jewelry Care Matters
Whether itโs gold-filled, stainless steel, or sterling silver, every piece deserves regular care to keep its charm. Follow these steps to enhance the appearance of your jewelry and prolongs its quality.

Discovering New Inspiration in Sarasota, FL: A Summer of Art, Culture, and Creativity
Hello Gems!
Iโm thrilled to share some exciting updates with you! This summer, I decided to take a much-needed break off social media and spent some quality time in Sarasota, FL. It was an experience that not only allowed me to recharge but also opened my eyes to new hobbies and interests.
One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the vibrate museums in Sarasota. As an artist, traveling offers a unique glimpse into different cultures, historic events, and the beauty of different parts of the world. These experiences have deeply inspired me, sparking fresh ideas that Iโm eager to infuse into my jewelry designs at Riss Jewels.
Inspiration can come from many places, and this journey has reminded me of the importance of exploring different experiences. I have a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship of the past, which Iโm excited to reflect in my upcoming collections.
For those of you who have visited Sarasota, Iโd love to hear your recommendations! Are there any hidden gems or must-see spots that I should explore on my next trip? Your insights could inspire the next piece in the Riss Jewels collection.
Thank you for continuing to support my journey and for being a part of the Riss Jewels family. Watch the full travel video on my YouTube at Riss Behind The Bling. Do not forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel.

The History of African American Jewelry in the United States
Highlighting the history of African American jewelry and how it ties in with the historical experiences with African Americans in the United States.
Since slavery to the present, African Americans use of jewelry is a means of expression, resistance, cultural preservation, and celebration. Here is my overview of the history of African American jewelry and the popularity of hoop earrings.
Hoop earrings are deep-rooted in communities of colour and streetwear culture. Unfortunately, not everyone who wears the style acknowledge its significant cultural past and the people it originated from. The style first dates as far back to the 4th century in Africa. For some they were worn for protection and others a symbol of wealth. The hoop earring has various sizes and can be found all around the world. During slavery, hoop earrings were the only jewels that slaves were allowed to wear. The popularity for hoops arose especially during the 60โs among African-American women. This was the period of the emergence of the Black Power movement. Members of this community decided to embrace their past and origins by sporting a look that proudly displayed markers of their culture and history.Trending Hoop Earrings
The trend continued into the 70s thanks to disco divas such as Diana Ross. During the 80s they became larger in size taking the nickname door knockers. In early 2000s hoops became thinner and bigger. Popular RNB and pop singers wear them. The opposite trend are huggies which are smaller and cuffing the earlobe.
Fashion is inspired by different cultures, however, the issue arises when some women of colour face discrimination for choosing to wear hoops. Non-POCs who wear this style should do so mindfully and educate others on the meaningful discourse and importance regarding race. Hoops as a stylistic choice worn by women of colour should be respected. Today hoops can suite anyone. Hoops designs are limitless and are are must have of jewelry.
