Dallas-based Yoga Instructor branches into new field---Jewelry Design and Distribution
(ContentDesk) June 29, 2004 -- When 31-year old Dorian Nasby resigned from her role as Diversity leader with General Electric's Vendor Financial Services Division after 7 years with the company, she wasn't sure what her next step would be.
"I'd grown disillusioned with my job and yearned to make a more meaningful contribution to the world. I've always been very passionate about health and wellness and yoga had been my foundation during a very difficult personal time.
As such I wanted to share the benefits of the art with a particular focus on minorities and disadvantaged persons."After her bold career move she immediately enrolled in a residential yoga training program and resided in North Adams, MA for a month before returning to Dallas to begin teaching.
She is now an established yoga teacher providing instruction at numerous Dallas area recreation centers, the Downtown YMCA, and will soon begin classes at Dallas Urban Arts.As if this weren't enough to keep the Tallahassee, FL native occupied, she recently launched Funky Classics-an internet based retail outlet dedicated to offering finely crafted jewelry.
Primarily made up of exotic beads and classic metals, she creates interesting, fun and sophisticated jewelry featuring semiprecious gemstones, fresh water pearls, and Swarvoski crystals.Says Dorian of her Funky Classics line, "My goal is to provide clean lines with an exotic flair. I like to offer styles that can be worn by a broad spectrum of individuals seeking jewelry that reflects their unique tastes and accentuate their natural beauty".
In addition to her own designs, Funky Classics also offers other designer styles including Barse, Baked Beads, and Ashley Miller.
"Eventually, I'd like to expand beyond jewelry and perhaps establish a small boutique.
I appreciate beauty, whether it be the silhouette of a student in a classic yoga pose or a beautifully designed bracelet."
With her eyes on the prize, there's no limit to what this go-getter can accomplish.About Funky Classics Funky Classics is a small jewelry design and distribution company specializing in silver and beaded jewelry made of semiprecious stones, Austrian crystals, and other precious materials.

Engraving Your Wedding Bands? New Jewelry Technology Creates Romantic Possibilities .
Engraving Your Wedding Bands?
New Jewelry Technology Creates Romantic Possibilities For All Couples
by Jerry Biern
What is more romantic for a bride and groom than looking inside of their wedding bands and seeing a personalized engraving with special meaning for them?
There are a few ways to accomplish this task that your jeweler will recommend and now some new processes available that increase the limits of the message that can be created on rings.
Let us review the traditional methods most currently being used in the marketplace.
First, there is hand engraving done by an artisan engraver using a hand tool called a graver. It is not a perfect process and the results will depend on the quality and skill of the craftsman doing the work.
Also commonly used is machine engraving which is much more precise but usually limited to one row of words using up to 20 characters to be engraved on the ring.
