<b>Choosing the right diamond jewelry store can be a difficult task</b>. Between chain stores, local shops, kiosks, booths, and many other places that sell jewelry, you have to be able to decide where to go. The challenge is finding a store that is reputable and offers affordable products. Here are some tips to help you avoid bad jewelry stores.
Where to Go
When deciding where to go for purchasing diamonds, there are a few factors to consider.
First, what is the quality of the merchandise on display? If the jeweler sells silver pieces for the same price as gold pieces, then you should avoid doing business with them. Additionally, if the jeweler specializes in handling cubic zirconium and other knock-offs of real diamond products, then chances are you should look elsewhere.
Next, consider the location of the store. If the jewelers you are dealing with do not have a permanent shop, then they are probably not people you should be buying diamonds from. After all, if they can pack up and move to a different town at a moments notice, then nothing will stop them from deceiving you with low quality products at a high price.
Finally, think about the size of the store. The larger the store, the more buying the store has to do for inventory. Because suppliers give the best deals to jewelers who purchase the most products, larger dealers can generally offer the lowest price on jewelry.
Other Diamond Buying Tips
If you are purchasing a diamond for someone you truly care about, you should buy designer diamond jewelry. Designer jewelry has the highest fashion standards, making them the most attractive for people to wear. Their designs for pendants, rings, or anything else always look better than non-designer jewelry.
Another thing you should be on the lookout for is a diamond jewelry shop that's having a sale. When companies have sales, sometimes it is because nobody wants the products they are trying to sell. However, more often than not, sales take place simply because they have old stock that they want to get rid of to make room for a new shipment. Take advantage of a jeweler's desire to move old merchandise and save yourself a lot of money.
Finally, shop around. Look into multiple locations that sell jewelry. Diamond jewelry can be very expensive, so you should be cautious when purchasing. If you are buying a gift, make sure that the piece you have truly symbolizes your love for that person. You don't want your loved one to receive an expensive gift and not be absolutely floored.
By following the tips listed here, you will certainly be able to find the perfect diamond jewelry you have been looking for. Remember that not all diamond sellers are trustworthy, so always be cautious. Additionally, use common sense when shopping for diamonds. Do not let a salesman swindle you into purchasing something that you feel uneasy about.

<b> Getting a diamond ring or other piece of jewelry with diamonds in it</b>, you know it has meaning. Most recipients don't care what the cut is, because in the case of diamond jewelry gifts, it is the thought that counts because diamonds aren't given casually. Diamond jewelry makes a memorable gift to mark special occasions and special feelings from anniversaries to Mother's Day. A diamond ring is used to represent a commitment to spend a lifetime together, when given as an engagement ring. What stands out about a piece of jewelry is that there is a diamond. Even when someone doesn't know about diamond cuts, they appreciate beautiful diamond jewelry.
Diamonds that are used in jewelry comes in different cuts. Some of the cuts include the following:
* Round cut-the most common diamond cut
* Marquise cut-the diamond should be about ½ as wide as it is long
* Princess cut-square with cut corners
* Oval cut-the desirable ratio is 2 to 1
* Radiant cut-rectangular with cut corners
* Emerald cut-prismatic like an infinity picture
* Trillion and Trillant cut-triangular with cut or sharp corners
* Baguette cut-an emerald cut with less faceting
Though many people ask about the carat size before they ask about the cut of a diamond, the cut is very important when choosing a diamond. Even among each type of diamond cut there are many variances. This is because the cut is dependent on the diamond cutter. There is more to a diamond cut than just its shape. The proportions and the finish will also affect the look of the diamond and the way it sparkles.
During the cut of a diamond, the diamond can be cut to maximize its weight and value or it can be cut to maximize the brilliance and sparkle of the diamond. This may affect its value monetarily. A cutter can increase the diameter or depth of a diamond to create more weight, but the cut may prevent light reflection and some light may escape through the sides of a stone.
A computer evaluation of a diamond cannot compare to an evaluation by and professional and expert diamond appraiser. The reason is that there is more to see and consider with the naked eye and the experience of the jeweler. The reason is that a diamond cut is more subjective.
In a jewelry showroom, a diamond may look different than when you get it home. The reason is the lighting in a jewelry showroom is very bright so the light reflects throughout the diamond. In addition, the diamond is kept perfectly clean in a showroom. Though you can't always control the lighting where you are at, you can keep your jewelry clean. This will affect the look of your diamond dramatically.
To buy high quality, beautifully cut diamonds, you can go to Gray & Sons Jewelry. You can shop from their showroom, their free catalog, or online for fine new and estate jewelry.

<b>When buying fine jewelry online</b>, you should know what to look for and where to shop before getting started. There are so many jewelry stores online today that you can easily be swayed to buy jewelry of low quality, even if the price seems a bit high. This often happens because you're not able to see the actual jewelry before buying. You'll only have a photo of the jewelry to go on, and a photo doesn't tell much. Here are some tips to find fine jewelry from reputable companies.
Gold Fine Jewelry
Knowing the terminology about gold jewelry will help you to shop smarter. Gold comes in karats such as 14k, 18k, and 24k. It also comes in several colors - white gold, yellow gold, two-tone, and tri-color. If you need authentic gold jewelry, avoid descriptions that mention gold filled or gold plated. These are not completely gold, and therefore do not qualify as authentic even though they might be made with a small portion of gold.
Knowing if the gold is genuine through and through will also tell a little about the included stones. Many fake stones will not be set on real solid gold, only on gold plated or gold-filled jewelry.
Diamond Fine Jewelry
Before shopping for diamonds, make sure you understand the difference between karats and carats. A karat measures the purity of gold, and 24k is the purest gold. A carat measures fine gemstones and the weight of diamonds. Larger diamonds, such as those on diamond engagement rings, will usually carry a greater weight in carats than smaller stones, such as those found in diamond tennis bracelets. Look for diamond fine jewelry in which the diamond itself has a carat weight. Make sure the diamond is not cubic zirconium. Cubic zirconium looks like a real diamond, but is not.
When buying a solitaire or cluster diamond ring, consider the cut of the diamond. Look for a diamond that's not cut too shallow or too deep. Hold it to the light to see how it reflects the light. A fine diamond with the proper cut will reflect all the light magnificently. When buying fine jewelry with diamonds online, ask questions about the cut of the diamond and its reflection of light if this information is not available on the website.
Study the variety of diamond shapes online to see which one you like most. Diamonds may be round brilliant, oval, tiffany, marquise, pear-shaped, heart-shaped, emerald cut, princess cut, trilliant, radiant, or cushion cut. Each has its own unique brilliance.
Buying Pearls Online
Pearls come in a variety of colors such as white, gray, black, or yellow. The shapes of pearls can be round, baroque, symmetrical, or irregular. The most exquisite (and expensive) pearls are the sphere-like round pearls. Necklaces with pearls can have single or double strands. The single strands usually have larger, more expensive pearls than the double strands.
A high quality pearl will have a lustrous, shiny surface, strong reflections, and a good contrast between its light and dark areas. Pearls that appear completely flawless are usually fakes, but still your pearls should have minimal blemishes on the surface such as pits, cracks, or discoloration. Authentic pearl earrings should match in size and their look and feel.
Buy Online Safely
Buying fine jewelry online takes a little responsibility on your part. Don't jump on the first deal you see. Think of buying fine jewelry as a long-term investment. Check out the company to be sure it is legitimate. Read all the jewelry descriptions carefully. Be sure the company is in good standing in the Web community. Better Business Bureau Online is a great place to start. Read all policies on returns, shipping, insurance, and authenticity. Many fine jewelry products come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

<b>Diamond platinum jewelry is all the rage</b>, and has been for at least the past 10 years. Platinum jewelry lends itself extremely well to diamonds. The reason for this is because platinum is such an elegant and rare metal. It has a cool, brilliant and vibrant white color. It's durable, and strong. These are many of the same attributes that a diamond has, so the two work together hand in hand. Much like diamonds, platinum is extremely rare. It's not a common metal, like silver. Although silver always has been, and always will be a very popular metal to wear, it doesn't have the retail value that platinum has. This is important especially when a shopper is thinking about buying diamond platinum jewelry, or any diamond jewelry.
When someone is looking to buy diamond jewelry or diamond jewelry in general, they are looking for a couple of things. First, they are looking for jewelry that is worthy of expressing their deepest sentiments. When someone buys a diamond platinum jewelry piece, such as a diamond ring, there is no mistaking what the ring is for. Diamond rings have always meant engagements and weddings.
Every girl dreams of the day that she will be a woman, and get diamond jewelry of her own to wear. Girls will put rings on their left ring finger, and pretend that they are wearing that priced diamond ring. So when she grows up, and gets to have a diamond ring, this is a fulfillment of a dream to her. It used to be that getting a gold diamond ring is what she would hope for.
Nowadays, diamond platinum jewelry is what symbolizes love, and life passages for the modern bride. It goes so well with everything that she wears. Some women worry about wearing different metals, such as gold with certain outfits or events, because the yellow color might clash or be too gaudy for what she's wearing. Diamond platinum jewelry goes with everything that a woman can think of wearing, and it goes with every occasion.
Men are not left out of the enjoyment of wearing diamond jewelry either. Platinum is a very strong and masculine metal for men to wear. It accents diamonds very well. It's white and cool, so it offers the man an aura of distinction and class. Men can wear their diamond platinum jewelry with their best suits, or with a nice pair of jeans and a nice tailored oxford, or even a modern and trendy t-shirt.

<b> For you to enjoy your treasures</b>, they need to be somewhere close and accessible, but NOT in the Bedside Jewelry Box.
Although we DO advise a Jewelry Box on the Dresser and easily seen, BUT ONE CONTAINING SEVERAL PIECES OF JUNK JEWELRY. It is a well documented fact that Burglars nearly ALWAYS check the Bedroom First knowing that people hide things there.
In general terms we have discovered, through HUGE amounts of research, (Please don't write and ask us how we know such things) that your average Crim or Thug, doesn't know the difference between Gold or Plated items, Diamonds or Shiny pebbles of Glass.
In the dimly lit beam of a torch, a handful of Jewelry, stuffed into a pocket, stops them searching any further, and they leave without any more damage.
If it looks like gold, it must be gold... Right?
Well, NO! But this can work in OUR Favor.
So OCCASIONALLY buy that antique looking string of pearls (which we know are glass beads) from the local Op shop or Charity Church Bazaar, and salt it into your 'attractive' Junk items in the Jewelry Box on the Dresser.
Costume Jewelry CAN look a Million Dollars. Old Brooches in a Base metal and containing a 'Plastic' Cameo, can feel and seem to be worth all the trouble.
Help these poor people out. Do the right thing. Give them something to Steal, and they will leave you alone, next time.
But what about the Good Stuff?
If you do 'Hide' it somewhere in your home there are a couple of points we wish to discuss. Firstly: tell a trusted or close relative where they are.
Too many people hide things and then forget where they put them. Over the years it slips from memory and after they 'Cross Over' as John Edwards would say, they get tossed out with the rest of the rubbish never to see light of day again. Shame - Shame - Shame. Please tell someone.
Don't hide the items in extreme temperatures.
It has seemed that over the past decade or so, some people have been hiding things in the Freezer. This is NOT recommended as Gold and Silver items may survive, but some gemstones are sure to suffer.
Opal for example contains a great amount of water in their chemical make up. Freeze opal and you will NOT have anything with color left after a very short while. Pearls too, and most of the softer 'Organic' gemstones like Coral or Ivory or Amber will all be damaged by this process.
The Kitchen is a good place to hide things, as is the Laundry.
We have had some clients (friends of ours) who hide things in the Children's Toy room. As long as it can't be found or played with by the Kids, it is safe.
If you come home one day and the Darling Little Ones are wearing your best Diamond Jewelry, chances are you didn't hide it well enough. Under the Lego pieces, just doesn't cut it.
Regardless of whether you have your items hidden or in a 'Safety Deposit' style box or wall safe etc, you should still insure your items.
We have mentioned this before, so if you're not sure, please read the advice on 'Selling your Jewelry' or go direct to the Online Jewelry Appraisal Centre for more information (address shown below).
As a last resort, it is comforting to know that if your treasures are lost or stolen, you can retrieve an accurate description and detailed specifications from a safe place OUTSIDE of your Home or Work.
One of the strengths of the 'Do-it-Yourself' Online Jewelry Self Appraisal system, is knowing your details are kept in a secure extraweb database that only you can access 24/7 from anywhere in the world.
We would hate to have Fire, Flood or Earthquake rip apart your world in more ways than one. After the event is NO time to get a Certificate done, and at such a low fee (less than the price of a Big Mac and Coke) is a tiny price to pay to ensure your details are covered.
Any good Manufacturing Jeweler should be able to remake an EXACT copy of your treasures thanks to the detailed descriptions in the Kit. Even if your Certificate was lost or destroyed, we can ALWAYS get you another copy and bring your Engagement or Wedding Ring back to life.
There are several other SPECIAL REPORTS available through our eMail-on-Demand subscription box at the website, so please take some time to visit.
There is a timely warning on Security issues. It's good advice, plus there is some great tips on Investing in Jewelry, Insurance guidelines and other notes on selling, Hallmarking tips etc, and they are being added to all the time.

<b>Many people buy diamonds just by the way they look</b>. However, since we talk about a precious purchase, we advise you to learn the basics. One of the important things to know about diamonds is related to their clarity.
Diamond clarity refers to the existence or non- existence of flaws in a diamond, whether it be inside or on the surface. A perfectly clear diamond is almost rare and thus, very expensive. But most flaws that do exist in a diamond are almost not invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen by an expert grader with the help of a magnifying loupe.
Flaws are of two kinds: inclusions and blemishes. Inclusions are those flaws that can be found inside a diamond such as air bubbles, cracks, tiny spots, and non-diamond minerals inside a diamond. Blemishes refer to the flaws found on the surface of a diamond, such as pits, scratches, and pits. Diamonds incur some blemishes in the cutting and polishing processes. Because it is quite rare to find diamonds without or with very few inclusions and blemishes, they are usually more expensive than the rest.
When you buy diamonds you should know that the stones are graded. Diamond clarity grade is determined using 10x magnification, and it may range from flawless to included:
1. Fl, Flawless (no internal or external flaws)-these are extremely rare.
2. IF, Internally Flawless (no internal flaws but has slight external blemishes)-these are very rare diamonds.
3. VVS1 & VVS2 (Very, very slightly included)-these diamonds have very minute inclusions that make it difficult even for an experienced grader to detect.
4. VS1 & VS2 (Very slightly included)-these are stones with minute inclusions that can only be seen by an experienced grader under 10x magnification.
5. SI1 & SI2 (Slightly included)-these are diamonds with minute inclusions that are more easily seen under 10x magnification.
6. I1 & I2 & I3 (Included)-these are stones that have inclusions that are obvious not only to an expert grader but even to an untrained eye.
These diamond clarity categories show that most flaws in a stone can hardly be detected, even by an expert grader. Because they are just minute imperfections, they do not influence the beauty and brilliance of a diamond. In fact, not until you drop to the "I" grade that flaws become a distraction to a precious stone's beauty. So it shouldn't bother you too much if you're diamond's clarity grade is not near the top scale. Your diamond doesn't have to perfectly flawless for it to be gorgeous as you can well see in many accessories.

<b>Hearing the word jewelry immediately</b> gives me the image of
Marilyn Monroe singing in her breathless voice. Whether
you're buying an engagement ring or looking for a special
gift for your love, diamonds are a lovely choice.
The saying "Diamonds are forever," is true, and you want
your gift to be high quality, one that your beloved will be
happy to wear day in and day out. When you are making your
choice, keep the four Cs in mind - carat, clarity, color
and cut are the factors that affect the diamond's cost and
quality.
Carat is what most of us think of when we think of a
diamond's quality. And, it's probably the least understood
of the four factors. The number of carats is thought by
many people to be a measure of the diamond's size. In
reality though, the carats tell us how much a diamond
weighs. A one carat diamond weighs .20 grams, and each
carat is divided into 100 points. So, a 50 point diamond
weighs one-half a carat.
We might think of a one-carat diamond as the very best,
but the other Cs play an important part, too. A diamond of
one-half carat might have greater value than a stone of one
carat, depending on the clarity, color or cut.
Clarity is something you might not have heard about until
you began diamond shopping. Most diamonds contain tiny
natural birthmarks, or inclusions. These birthmarks aren't
usually visible when you're looking at the stone -- the
jeweler has to use magnification to see them. However,
inclusions can prevent light from dispersing through the
diamond, and therefore affect the diamond's brilliance,
even to the naked eye. Less expensive stones will usually
have more and larger inclusions.
Color is the next C. You might be surprised to learn that
diamonds have color, although most of the stones range from
nearly colorless to a very light brown, and some even have
a pink or blue-green tint. Color prevents some of the light
passing through the stone, so the more color the stone has,
the less shiny it will be.
A diamond's ability to shine and shimmer is affected by
the color. Thus, colorless diamonds are the most brilliant,
because they allow the most light to shine through the
stone. Those colorless diamonds are the most expensive
because they are both brilliant and rare.
Cut is the final C. Diamonds are cut to allow the maximum
amount of light to be reflected back. Brilliance, fire and
sparkle are what we look for in a diamond, determining how
well the diamond reflects the light and shimmers. Facets
are the diamond's flat panes, and the grinding and
polishing of these facets is done to enhance the stone's
brilliance.
When you are choosing jewelry, remember to consider all
four of the Cs. Together, they combine to create diamonds
that are sparklingly beautiful, truly a girl's best friend.

It is no surprise therefore that a woman's diamond watch has become increasingly popular as a symbol of class and style.</p><p>Diamond rings have long been a popular choice as gifts which represent the sincerity of affection from a lover or admirer, but an increasingly wide range of jewelry which includes diamonds has become popular as such gifts. A diamond ladies watch is perhaps somewhat unique in that it is not only exquisitely decorative and visually scintillating but has a very practical value as well.</p><p>Because women's diamond watches tend to be smaller than the diamond watches made for men they usually have a slightly smaller number of diamonds decorating the face, and as a result of this diamond watches for women tend to be slightly cheaper than men's diamond watches.</p><p>The exact number of diamonds which can be included in the decoration of a diamond ladies watch varies tremendously. In some cases a watch can be decorated with a single diamond, often in a very significant position, either in the centre of the dial or often just above, or in the place of, the number twelve. In other cases a womens diamond watch can include a huge number of smaller diamonds decorating almost the entire face of the watch, and replacing the numerals around the outside of the face. With such variation it is extremely easy to be able to choose the sort of watch which most closely suits the style and personal taste of the woman who will be wearing it. Some women will like to be able to adorn themselves with as much bling and sparkle as possible, whilst others will prefer a more subtle and conservative approach to their jewelry.</p><p>It is certainly not hard to imagine the kind of impression and reaction that a woman's diamond watch can produce. Imagine the surprise and astonishment that giving an exquisite diamond watch to your partner will evoke. Certainly there is no possibility that your intentions and devotion can be doubted, and the message that giving such an extraordinarily beautiful gift provides will be clearer than virtually anything else. In fact there is little in the world that is clearer than a well cut, good quality diamond. Diamonds are rare and take millions of years to be created. For these reasons they continue to represent the very pinnacle of style and status. Women's diamond watches manage to combine this remarkable jewel with an elegant design and sophistication that will certainly not look out of place on any woman's wrist.</p><p>Because a diamond ladies watch has a very practical purpose it will often be worn more frequently than any other item of jewelry. Not only that, but a woman's diamond watch will complement any outfit and any other jewelry that a lady chooses to wear. Diamond watches are certainly the ultimate accessory, and there is no chance at all of it ever gathering dust at the back of her jewelry drawer.</p><p>Although it is easy to assume that most diamonds are clear and relatively colorless, diamonds do come in a variety of colours. Because of this there are several ways in which a women's diamond watch can be designed in a particularly feminine manner. Of all of the diamonds in the world the rarest diamond of all is the pink diamond. Some women's diamond watches incorporate these pink diamonds in very noticeable ways, and by doing this there are two distinct benefits.</p><p>The first benefit of having a pink diamond embedded in a diamond ladies watch is that the overall style can accentuate the delicate pink shades, creating a watch style which is distinctly feminine. The second benefit is simply that the very fact that a pink diamond has been used in fashioning the watch in a very visible way adds tremendous value to it due to the rarity and high cost of the diamond. The choice of pink diamond by man for a ladies watch indicates not only a personal statement of intent, but also a high degree of understanding and attention,</p><p>Today, modern scientific technology has advanced to the point where it is able to create synthetic diamonds which are virtually indistinguishable from natural diamonds, except when it comes to examining the price label. Although a woman's diamond watch can incorporate either natural or synthetic diamonds, it is virtually impossible sometimes to tell the difference, and this has resulted in diamond watches for women becoming much more accessible and increasingly popular.</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-80244711880436204192013-11-01T08:23:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.948-08:00Diamond Jewelry - The Perfect Gift For Your Wife Or Girlfriend<div id="article-content"> <p>All right, class is in session. You've given her flowers - they lasted several days and ended up in the garbage. You've given her chocolates - she enjoyed them while she ate the entire box, but then blamed you when she put on five extra pounds. You even bought her a new vacuum cleaner - what were you thinking with that one? Nothing you get her ever seems to really express how you feel about her (unless you intended the vacuum to insult her cleaning skills). Maybe it is time for you to move beyond the ordinary and get your wife or girlfriend that one token from the heart that you know she will appreciate for the rest of her life. Now, if you think we are talking about a new toaster, give yourself detention. But if you have guessed that we are talking about diamond jewelry, take a seat at the head of the class.</p><p>There are a number of types of diamond jewelry available, and they come in a variety of styles and price ranges designed to fit almost any budget. Before you even begin the process of selecting one, however, it is a good idea to give some thought to her preferences. Many men will make the mistake of asking their wife or girlfriend what type of jewelry they would prefer, and some even take their significant other with them to the jeweler. That does kind of kill any chance you will have of surprising her though. A better option is to use the secret weapon that we men seldom use when purchasing gifts for the women in our lives: common sense and observation. Consider the types of metals that she prefers, as well as the styles. Some women favor the more modern styles, with the bold looks; others seem more comfortable in the traditional, more classic pieces. Observe carefully, and use those observations to select something that will fit her personality.</p><p>When it comes to diamond jewelry, the world is literally your oyster. Beyond the metals and styles, there are a tremendous variety of choices in the type of jewelry available. There are diamond necklaces and diamond pendants, diamond earrings and diamond brooches, and of course the ever popular diamond rings. Again, observation is your best instructor. What type of jewelry you choose is up to you, as long as you are confident that it is something she will be comfortable with. Diamond necklaces and pendants offer a magical feel for the woman who wears them, while diamond earrings are the very height of elegance, and diamond brooches provide a subtle hint of sophistication. And, of course, nothing beats a diamond ring for saying "I love you."</p><p>Before you begin your search, take a little time to educate yourself about the 4 Cs of diamonds, as the color, cut, clarity, and carat size are going to play major roles not just in how the diamond looks, but in how much it costs as well. When it comes to diamond jewelry, size is not always the most important element of a beautiful piece. Small diamonds in an elegant setting can be even more beautiful than jewelry focused around large diamonds. Again, look at what your spouse or girlfriend currently wears, as that will tell you all you need to know about her preferences. If you do your homework before you begin to shop, finding that perfect piece of diamond jewelry can be as enjoyable as it is easy. </p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-25316449333327489572013-10-30T08:45:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.984-08:00Don't Let Your Eyes Deceive You - You and Your Jeweler Must Know About
Diamonds and Moissanite<div id="article-content"> <p>The demand for moissanite, a manmade gemstone that resembles diamond, is sweeping the nation. According to manufacturers Charles & Colvard, North American sales have skyrocketed to a 113 percent increase in the first-quarter of 2005. Moissanite is sold at several department store chains and appeals to people who want to buy inexpensive alternatives to diamond jewelry.</p><p>King's Jewelry, one of the largest jewelry chains in the U.S., has marketed moissanite as a gemstone rather than as a diamond substitute, and this message has been successfully received by self-purchasing women. These consumers do not want to buy diamonds for themselves, but do want to wear diamond-like gemstones that have a higher quality than cubic zirconia.</p><p>Although moissanite is a beautiful and affordable gemstone, its diamond-like qualities might confuse you and your jeweler into thinking that the gemstone is actually a diamond. Scams have occurred throughout the United States, including in O'Fallon, MO where a man purchased moissanite stones from con artists, thinking they were diamonds. The buyer later brought the moissanite to a local jeweler who even mistakenly deemed the stones to be diamonds.</p><p>After carefully observing the dual trends of moissanite sales and diamond fraud, St. Louis-based Neustaedter's Fine Jewelry offers tips about both jewels to dispel their common myths.</p><p>What is Moissanite?</p><p>Originally discovered by Dr. Henri Moissan at Meteor Crater in Arizona during the late 19th century, moissanite is a mineral composed of silicon carbide. A century after its discovery, laboratories began producing crystals from moissanite, and in 1998 Charles & Colvard began selling the gemstone.</p><p>Moissanite & Diamonds have Very Different Origins</p><p>Although the original moissanite fragments studied by Dr. Moissan originated from a meteorite that struck earth, moissanite gemstones are manufactured in labs. Since moissanite is difficult to grow, the gemstone is much more expensive than diamond substitutes like cubic zirconia.</p><p>In contrast, diamonds are created by natural processes. According to South African Diamonds, a Web site devoted to diamonds originating from South Africa, the jewels were formed millions of years ago in the earth's mantle when carbon crystallized due to high temperature and pressure. When volcanoes erupted, magma carried diamonds just below or on the earth's surface. Later the magma cooled and turned into rock which trapped diamonds for thousands of centuries. This rock is what people mine in places such as South Africa.</p><p>Their Similar Appearances have Some Distinguishing Traits</p><p>A glistening moissanite gemstone often looks like a diamond at first glance, but magnified moissanite has several characteristics that a qualified jeweler can identify.</p><p>Your jeweler should examine a suspected moissanite stone under a 10-power loupe to get a good look at the stone and its characteristics. Magnified moissanite stones often feature subtle greenish tints whereas quality diamonds are often colorless. Under 10-power magnification, moissanite's facets seem to multiply, which is called "double refraction," but diamonds only reflect their facets once. Moissanite also bears white ribbon-looking imperfections which are not present in diamonds. In order for you to observe everything first-hand, Neustaedter's has a very large screen in its shop to magnify your gemstone.</p><p>Recent technological developments have improved testing methods for moissanite. Some jewelers use special moissanite testers to detect the gemstones. When the tester's probe tip touches moissanite, you can see the Moissanite light flashing and hear a beeping noise. But since this test is not 100 percent accurate, your jeweler must use his or her knowledge and a trained eye to perform other tests.</p><p>A less hi-tech approach that some jewelers use is a flotation test, performed in a dense liquid. If performed properly, moissanite will float whereas a diamond will sink. It is recommended, though, that your jeweler uses multiple tests to determine the true identity of your stone.</p><p>What Should You do When Purchasing Moissanite or Diamonds?</p><p>You should only purchase the jewels when you are issued a guarantee that states the authenticity of your diamond or moissanite. Neustaedter's recommends that you go to a jewelry store certified by the American Gem Society (AGS) because they will possess the knowledge and tools necessary to identify moissanite and diamonds.</p><p>Moissanite and diamonds both have their own advantages, but you and your jeweler must to understand the differences and characteristics of each stone to make a wise purchase.</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-64804960250739534562013-10-28T06:46:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.977-08:00Diamond Jewelry - Emblem of Status, Love and Wealth<div id="article-content"> <p>A symbol of prosperity and endless love, these glittering little stones called diamonds have kept humans enchanted to them since the times immemorial. In the possession of a man these shining pieces of carbon testify to his status in the society and women associate them with love and beauty. Also diamonds hold religious significance in some cultures and this and other qualities of these precious stones make them a preferred choice in jewelery designing. History tells us the custom of wearing diamonds is ancient indeed and the people in the 21st century still find diamonds as radiating as the ancient Romans or Arabs did. Jewelry containing diamonds isn't merely an adornment, this jewelry makes an excellent investment too. In the following paragraphs we will learn how diamond jewelry has been viewed in different ages, what significance it holds today and why you should invest in it.</p><p>As far as the historical records go, the use of diamonds as ornaments has always been of great importance, albeit, the reasons weren't always the same. For instance, it has been suggested that the cavemen wore diamonds not to show off their rank or wealth but to remind themselves of the spring. It was much later, only after humans had made significant advances in culture, that diamonds began to be associated with wealth and rank. Clocks haven't turned back since then and today in almost all cultures diamonds are a great way for most people to demonstrate who forms the elite.</p><p>The current trade in diamonds is estimated to be worth more than US $13 billion. Nearly one in every three diamonds extracted from earth goes into the making of diamond jewelry. Today diamonds are worn for two main reasons: symbolic and religious. Some may wear diamonds for artistic or aesthetic reasons but these people form only a minority. Gifting diamond jewels is also a fantastic way to express your feelings to your loved one and for this reason it is now becoming a new norm to purchase diamond rings and other kind of diamond jewels during weddings or other special occasions.</p><p>Emotions aside, diamond jewelry also makes a good investment against an uncertain future. Like gold, its prices don't fluctuate much and rarely come down. Moreover, in case of jewelry designed by some famous artist, the price usually shoots up spectacularly after a few years. This means diamonds not only make jewelry more beautiful, they can also make you financially more secure.</p><p>The United States is currently the biggest market for diamond jewelry. The rising expectations and demands of the people in the burgeoning economies of Asia means that their appetite for diamond jewels in only going to increase in future. After all diamonds have for long been associated with wealth and power and the people in Asia will not spare their chance to show off that their time has come. Lovers will continue to gift diamonds to tell the other of their emotions and all this makes buying diamonds today a good investment opportunity.</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-91263320073482893412013-10-26T04:51:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.971-08:00Finding the Best Diamond Jewelry Dealers With the Help of Diamond

Usually, when diamonds are used in jewelry making, they are placed into settings for the production of ornamentation. Another way to obtain diamonds is to purchase loose specimens, which are gems that have not been mounted into ready-made jewelry, such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, brooches, pendants, and earrings. In the world of jewels, a loose diamond is also known to provide an assortment of possibilities and benefits.</p><p>One of the most important differences between a loose diamond and one that is set involves the accuracy of appraisals. While there are numerous techniques used to identify the worth of a diamond, many obstacles arise when surrounding materials, such as platinum, silver, and gold settings hinder the effectiveness of common appraisal practices. A close second to achieving the most accurate value assessment of a diamond is the ability to create custom pieces of jewelry, including wedding rings and family heirlooms. This advantage allows people to manage the production of a truly perfect piece of jewelry.</p><p>The cost of a loose diamond is also different from set options because consumers are often paying for extra costs associated with the mounting and creation of jewelry. The metals used to fashion settings and other parts of jewelry (such as necklace chains) also increase the price of diamond jewelry over the purchase of loose diamonds.</p><p>When analyzing the worth of a loose diamond, you will use the commonly known techniques of establishing cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. The shape of the diamond and accompanying certifications also help prove the value of a diamond. Depending on your personal preferences and budget, you may find the perfect loose diamond by assessing the following aspects:</p><p><b>Certification</b>: The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is known as one of the best authorities in grading diamonds, while the American Gem Society Laboratories (AGSL) also produce high-quality diamond grading reports. Certifications that come from the GIA or AGSL influence the worth of a loose diamond and often attest to the proportion, cut grade, polish and symmetry of a gem.</p><p><b>Shape</b>: The shape of a gem helps to determine value, where traditional round, loose diamonds cost a bit less than finer, non-round cuts often referred to as "fancy." Fancy-shaped diamonds are known to sometimes come in the shape of a heart or pear.</p><p><b>Cut</b>: The overall cut of a diamond deals with its brilliance and is often described as shallow, ideal, or deep. When a loose diamond is too shallow, light is lost out of the bottom, which decreases the level of brilliance. A loose diamond that is too deep allows light to escape out of the sides, creating a darker and duller appearance. An ideal cut is diamond that reflects almost all light that comes in contact with the gem. It is often considered the most beautiful and rarest.</p><p><b>Color</b>: The better the color grade of a loose diamond, the less color is seen within the gem. For example, a loose diamond established as a D-class shows absolutely colorless and is considered the highest in color grade. E-class diamonds are rare, while a high-quality diamond is registered as an F-class.</p><p><b>Clarity</b>: Loose diamonds that show clear are the most expensive, while other specimens possess scratches or trace minerals (known as inclusions). A system of assessment includes a range of rules and standards used to rate diamonds. For example, an FL or IF diamond is considered flawless, meaning it carries no internal or external flaws. These loose diamonds are extremely rare and quite attractive.</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-46430909396506556722013-10-23T06:53:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.909-08:00Men's Jewelry - Designed to Stand Out From the Crowd<div id="article-content"> <p>Men's jewelry used to be very conservative, and restricted to watches and wedding rings, with perhaps the odd tiepin or stickpin. Then came the single earring, and it has now exploded to a whole world of hip hop and bling. Not all men's jewelry is so flash, but a large part of it is once you go beyond the usual gold chain, single earring or expensive watch.</p><p>Taking a man's watch as an example, at one time the cost of the watch was in the name: whether it was Rolex, Breitling or Omega, the cost was related to the maker and the features offered with the watch. Now, however, we have the world of bling and hip hop men's jewelry where the carat count of the diamonds determine the price rather than the reputation or even the accuracy of the timepiece. Jojo, Luccello, Luxurman, Tenakey and Ice Time are the new kids on the block, and while the Rolexes of the world are still popular, they do not feature prominently in the hot jewelry stores of today.</p><p>Hip hop has become one of the most distinctive styles of the modern age and is certainly one of the most easily recognizable. Sometimes referred to as simply bling, hip-hop's most distinctive feature is the lavish use of as much jewelry, particularly diamonds, as possible. This has resulted in men's jewelry becoming incredibly popular with an entirely new market.</p><p>Men's jewelry is available in a large variety of different pieces and styles, and if you are looking to purchase jewelry that will help to compliment your style of fashion, particularly if your personal style of fashion stems from the hip-hop culture or the bling style, then you should take a look at what is available online.</p><p>Most hip hop men's jewelry is distinctive, not only because of the large number of diamonds which are embedded in large swathes across the jewelry, but also because the piece often tends to be quite chunky, giving it quite a masculine appearance. It is often assumed by many people that men's bling jewelry is either extremely expensive because of the large number of diamonds used, or extremely affordable where the diamonds are fake. In fact there is a tremendous range that stretches from the very affordable jewelry that even younger children can afford, all the way up to designer diamond watches that are every bit as genuine as their looks would suggest.</p><p>If you are looking for men's jewelry either for yourself or as a gift for someone else, then where do you start looking? You will not want to invest a large sum of money in a watch which is encrusted with jewels if the interior mechanism is of only secondary quality and unreliable. Similarly you may not wish to invest a large sum of money in an extravagant diamond earring which you intend to wear every day, and which might get knocked or damaged.</p><p>Possibly you might be looking at hip hop watches which will be perfect for everyday wear and not too expensive, or perhaps you are one of the fortunate people who are in the position of being able to afford the very best men's diamond jewelry available on the market. Whatever your preference, only real diamonds are real bling, so don't settle for less and avoid those sites that offer you artificial diamonds that can spotted a mile away.</p><p>Whatever type of jewelry you are looking for it helps to have a good idea of the type of piece you want, since most jewelry stores, either online of offline, will offer you a massive selection from which to choose. There is a massive range of gold diamond watches, diamond earrings, bracelets, diamond pendants and gold chains. You also have the choice of the most sparkling and outrageous forms of bling or something more conservative and traditional.</p><p>However you need not have to empty your savings in order to purchase a really good piece of men's jewelry as there are plenty of options available which are extremely affordable without sacrificing either quality or appearance. Your options range from a bling baseball glove pendant with 32 carats of diamonds in a 14K gold setting at over $30,000 to a gold chain at less than $100, so there is men's jewelry available to suit every pocket.</p><p>As far as men's diamond hip hop watches go, perhaps the one make which stands out above all others when it comes to bling are the diamond Tenakey watches. These are large, chunky and masculine, and you'll be hard put to try to find a single part of these watches that has not been encrusted with diamonds. If you want to stand out from the crowd and make your involvement with the hip hop culture absolutely clear, then a Tenakey diamond watch will achieve this in an unmistakable way.</p><p>There is only one rule to apply when purchasing men's jewelry and that is to buy what you want and what you feel most comfortable with. If you prefer to be conservative you will not feel comfortable wearing 10 carats of diamonds set in 14 carat gold, no matter what type of jewelry it is. Go with the men's jewelry that you feel comfortable wearing.</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-593597863942693662013-10-21T10:42:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.964-08:00Good, Cheap Diamond Jewelry<div id="article-content"> <p>Every lady loves jewelry. Some like gemstones and some like silver while others prefer gold and diamonds. I reckon if the truth be known most ladies would prefer gold and diamonds but develop a liking for other styles because of pure economics. I suppose we all can't afford to be dripping in gold and diamonds like some on the red carpet and high society seem to. Although it is not a bad idea to get into gold or/and diamonds because you are buying an investment. Look at the price of gold now and how high it is. That has spawned a whole new industry in old gold jewelry buying. It is worthwhile now to melt down old gold jewelry. OK, so is there such a thing as cheap diamond jewelry.</p><p>As soon as we see the word cheap alarm bells go off. Usually if something is labeled cheap then that is what it is, cheap so how can you have cheap diamonds that are any good. Diamonds come in all sizes, colors and qualities. Although most of the diamonds we see in jewelry are clear fine white, you can get any other color including pinks and yellows and browns and some of these colors do appear now and then in nice diamond jewelry pieces. The white diamond is graded by it's cut, there are several styles and ways to cut a diamond. Then we look at the color and the clarity and the caret or size of the diamond. Naturally a very large diamond is going to be more valuable than a small one but only if it has been well cut and has good color and clarity. Sometimes you will find a big diamond ring selling really cheaply and you will discover some nasty black marks deep inside which will really spoil a nice piece. A diamond is meant to sparkle with a brilliance unlike any other stone and this is part of it's attraction.</p><p>The diamond cutter is going to cut the largest stone he can from his piece of rough diamond and to do so he may have to compromise a little on the quality of that cut. When you want to buy a diamond you generally have to compromise between the size and quality and price, which is usually a big consideration. With the gold you are generally pretty safe as it is hallmarked to the grade that it is although some have been caught with Chinese faking hallmarks on some of their plated stuff. Not nice.</p><p>So where are you going to get good cheap diamond jewelry. Your best option is to go straight to the manufacturer. That way you are already saving the intermediate mark ups. Find a reputable manufacturer who sell direct to the public from his workshop. Your best bet here is online so that you are cutting out the costs of his retail showroom as well. That way he can manufacture and sell direct to you with very little cost in between. If this company is doing the right thing you should be getting quality diamond jewelry and a good cheap price. Check them out online. You may be surprised at how much you can get your next piece of diamond jewelry for.</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-79391340497735437292013-10-19T07:37:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.925-08:00Cheap Diamond Jewelry - Is It Worth It?<div id="article-content"> <p>A diamond is considered to represent class and elegance. In my opinion, there is no other jewel which can be compared to it in any manner. However, we all know that the buying rate of this stone is not very high. This is mainly because of its sky high prices. Every diamond is not very expensive and the price falls and rises according to its category. Some stones are carved and cut to perfection. They are pure and have a very small list of buyers because the charges are extremely high. You can easily find cheap diamond jewelry but the quality level is not high. A lot of vendors offer complete range of cheap diamond jewelry. This is a good option for middle class people who have a constant earning. In my opinion, cheap diamond jewelry is worth buying if you are buying it from reliable resources.</p><p>Do not expect the purest form of diamonds if you are buying cheap jewelry. The cost goes down because cheap quality diamonds are being used. How can you check the purity level of this stone? All you need to do is place it under high intensity UV rays. Strong diamonds produce a very sharp blue colored light. If the intensity of this light is low, the diamond can be termed as weak or less pure. In addition to that, very weak stones do not produce any light at all. These are diamonds with the least amount of purity. Hence, it is not a feasible option to buy them.</p><p>Should you buy cheap diamond jewelry? Everyone has a different answer to this question. In my opinion, there is no point in buying something expensive with a lower quality level to save money. There is no point in being economical if you are buying jewelry. If you have scarcity of money, you should save money for a certain amount of time and buy the best quality jewelry. Diamonds are stones which create long time memories. Some people have them for over ten years. This is simply because the jewels have a very high standard. It is not necessary that cheap jewelry is offered by new companies only. Some of the most reputed organizations make attractive offers to increase the number of customers. If a company is trustworthy and you are sure that its products are completely reliable, there is no problem in buying cheap jewelry and saving money.</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-59684951490424769772013-10-18T06:42:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.809-08:00Diamond Jewelry For The Holidays!<div id="article-content"> <p>A Holiday diamond jewelry purchase may be just the item that makes this a Christmas to remember! Whether it be a new diamond ring, diamonds earrings, pendant, bracelet or some other piece of jewelry, the Holiday season can be a perfect time to express your undying devotion to those you love with a diamond all their own! There are a few things to keep in mind when buying diamond jewelry for the holidays, and here's a few of them.</p><p>WHAT DO THEY LIKE?</p><p>Everyone has their own personal style, and to have the best shot at finding something that compliments their natural chosen style you need to come armed with facts. What do they like? Classic, contemporary, or vintage styling? What metal do they prefer. Exclusively gold, platinum, silver? Do they like bold or subtle jewelry, and what size are the pieces they own now?</p><p>SHAPES and SETTINGS</p><p>Diamond jewelry can come in many shapes and settings. Some choices might include a round diamond, a marquise cut or oval, a princess cut or emerald, pear or heart; as well as many other cuts and shapes and indeed even colors of diamond jewelry out there. Finding someone's personal preference when it comes to diamond jewelry can be a tricky endeavor; you don't want to give it away! See what they gaze at when window shopping; you may get a hint at some of the things they like. Be sure to take into consideration the size and shape of their hands, particularly for a woman. Imagine how it would look on her hands. If you're in a retail store have a clerk with similar hand structure model it for you. The last thing you want to do is have a large ring that overwhelms her hand.</p><p>WHAT SIZE DO YOU BUY?</p><p>You may have to become a secret agent to get this info, but it would be nice to have an idea of size when you're Choosing that ring. Another option is simply buying loose diamonds and shopping together for the setting. You're still her knight in shining armor and she get to choose how it shines!</p><p>WHERE TO BUY DIAMOND JEWELRY?</p><p>This part is getting easier and easier. In addition to the diamond retailers in your area, the internet has revolutionized diamond jewelry shopping, to the extent where it's now preferable to do your diamond shopping online. Time, convenience, much more readily available information and inventory make diamond jewelry shopping on the net an no- brainer. You often run into great prices online as well, as there is no overhead online and also no commissioned salesperson there to "guide" you into the diamond jewelry they want to sell you, not necessarily what you want. No pressure, no lines, no parking, no crime, and all the major diamonds retailers have an online presence, as well as some that are purely web-based. Let me ask you: would you rather buy your diamond jewelry from a seasonal employee who is selling you what they have left on hand, or make a much more informed and leisurely decision from a web-based retailer with a great deal more inventory and probably better prices? Okay, you decide! Most of the major Most all online stores will offer you guarantees and return privileges, and in my view putting my credit card online is a great deal safer than giving it to an eighteen year old dying for the latest XBOX.</p><p>If you're looking for diamonds for the holidays, let your fingers do the walking and find that perfect piece they'll adore forever!</p> </div>WWWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560407946971514038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993017846267235343.post-80313168872903705542013-10-16T07:08:00.000-07:002013-12-24T03:28:57.856-08:00Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry Delivers the Ultimate Shopping Experience<div id="article-content"> <p>Jared jewelry department stores promises to deliver the same ultimate exciting shopping experience to their online businesses that they offer offline.

The perfectly cut diamond accentuates the diamond and this is determined by the way light enters the diamond and also how the diamond facets reflects the light back.
