*Subjective statements and/or marketing materials: be careful with this. Examples of things to not do: "This wedding dress is perfect and is perfectly suited for any chapel." "The earrings are so flashy they are a great conversation starter." "No greater declaration of love could be made by any jewel than by this diamond ring..." "This hat with fake bunny ears is the most adorable thing ever." | *Subjective statements and/or marketing materials: be careful with this.

*Hyphens. Often overused, and used incorrectly! General guidelines: Yes in words, e.g. passer-by. No as a replacement for a comma e.g. "A gold rose blossoms on the face of the ring - shining lustrously in any available light" | *Hyphens. Often overused, and used incorrectly!

*Nothing live/moving. Plants, flowers, fur, beads, splinters of wood, so long as they are firmly dead/inanimate, are fine. A pendant with a dried flower pressed between the backing and glass is fine. A crown of twigs and blooming rosebuds is not (the twigs are fine, the roses are not). | |||
*Nothing magical or something that might be considered as such. "The rubies surrounding the diamond pulsate with a rich glow, as if it were a heartbeat." Rubies cannot pulsate on their own. | |||
