It’s for all you people who love being glamorous and who want to do things celebrity style. Forget the cars, houses, wardrobe and pets for a while. Jewelry is the best option to be glamorous. It’s fascinating how a stone can add a bling to your entire outfit or let me say your personality. More and more celebrities are opting to buy jewelry rather than buying expensive cars and clothes which can go out of fashion. Jewelry is one thing that never goes out of fashion. It can be passed from one generation to the other. It’s the new investment for the celebrities.

Solitaire or Cluster: 
A single prominent diamond solitaire is usually considered ideal for an engagement ring, but with time this trend had undergone variance. These days Gemstone accents or clusters are much favored by women who prefer a fringe to complement a larger center-Gemstone.

Color of Metal: 
Earlier the popularity and prevalence of yellow gold ring settings with diamonds were a lot more than what it is today. With time platinum and white gold have grown in demand but it does not mean that the timeless appeal of yellow gold has been marred in any way. The choice of metal is based on personal likes and what appeals to an individual.

The Right Ring:
There is no yardstick to measure or qualify a 'right' or 'wrong' ring. What looks good to you and what you feel will appeal to your sweetheart is the 'right' ring for you. Not to forget it's coming straight from your heart and that's what matters the most.

The responsibility of buying an engagement ring is immense. Especially buying a diamond engagement ring requires a lot of thought and involvement. This mammoth task becomes especially trying due to the myths that accompany the entire exercise.
-
Two Months Salary For An Engagement Ring: The most common myth about any engagement ring, with diamonds as no exception, is the fact that you are expected to shell out an equivalent of two months salary for the ring. Believe me this is no benchmark as this and an engagement ring should cost you only as much as you can afford. So don't stress and fret about having to eke out a chunk of your earnings behind an engagement ring.

Size does matter but not necessarily in case of diamonds. The dazzle of these stones don't get thwarted in a smaller size. There are more significant discerning factors when it comes to diamonds like cut, color, clarity and carat. It cannot be denied that a bigger diamond is definitely more prominent as the brilliance of the stone reflects well. However smaller stones look equally charming especially in a jewelry piece. A cluster of smaller diamonds can actually lead to a much larger piece of jewelry that is more eye-catching and elaborate, besides being less expensive than their more sizeable counterparts. Above all personal taste and preference plays a big role here. For some of us nothing except a large rock would do, while others prefer lavish jewelry pieces with smaller diamonds generously embedded.

Which is the best – earrings or studs?
If you are about to buy a gift for her and don’t really know what to buy – earrings or studs, here is a piece of wise fashion advice for you. Look at her current style – is she loud in her fashion or is she simple in her style or you really can’t decide. If she likes dressing up (which is if you cannot help taking your eyes off her makeup and jewelry) you have to buy her big earrings. Choose from chandeliers or danglers. If you think she is a fashion buff but with your gift you want to play it safe, look for some elegant danglers. If you don’t remember noticing jewelry on her, she is most likely wearing studs. Even in that case a pair of sweet dangling earrings would
be great because for all you know she already has the studs you choose for her. Choose a design that would compliment her face and style. You can choose a pair of gemstone earrings accented with diamonds. These things never go out of fashion and a woman can never have enough of them.Monday, December 22, 2008
Diamond or Gemstone : Whether you want a diamond or a gemstone engagement ring depends entirely on your preference and budget. While a diamond solitaire will be a steep buy, gemstones will cost comparatively much less. A great idea would be to combine diamond accents to gemstones in the color your sweetheart prefers. Besides gemstone rings are a rage these days.
Design: Before you set off to actually buy an engagement ring, try and check out some designs and see what looks good and still falls in your budget. You can even have a design customized that has a personalized touch and is always cherished. Once a particular design catches your fancy, make sure you gather as much information about the design and make.

The decision of buying a solitaire diamond or a cluster of diamonds depends to a large extent on your budget. Let me explain how. A solitaire any day is more expensive than a cluster of smaller diamonds. If you want an elaborate ring that fits in your budget, go for a cluster of smaller diamonds rather than a solitaire. Even while the smaller diamonds may in total add up to a larger carat weight than a solitaire, it will cost less. However, if a solitaire is what enamors you and your lady love completely, and you don’t have to worry about finances, by all means go for it.

Buying colored gemstones is like going on a treasure hunt. And like in a treasure hunt the right map is the key to the treasure, in gemstone expedition the knowledge of the 4C’s is the key to getting the perfect gemstone your money can get you. Its important to juggle the 4C’s to get good value for your money.
Color is the most compelling of the 4C’s. A gemstone with a pure vivid color is considered to be the most valuable. For instance a royal blue sapphire costs more than a dark blue sapphire of same quality. A pure blue aquamarine costs more than a bluish green aquamarine. So if you like the darker or the lighter shades, or like the combination of two or more colors in any gemstone, enjoy the reduced costs on your stones.
There is so much talked about cut in the gemstone world that I feel at times cut is more important than color. Anyways, frankly as a novice buyer I do not relate to the cut much. All I know is cut affects the flow of light in colored gemstones affecting their brilliance. High brilliance gemstones cost more.
Clarity is a paradox – gemstones very rarely occur without inclusions, while buying they say look for gems without inclusions. More the inclusions, lesser the cost. So look for gemstones that do not have prominent face-up scars. And carat is the easiest. Bigger the stone, more expensive it will be considering other quality parameters.

Amethyst and Citrine actually belong to the same mineral family, quartz with the only difference being the color. Amethyst comes in hues of purple and citrine in hues of golden yellow.
An interesting fact – amethyst when heated in extreme temperatures changes to orangish yellow in color making it citrine. Natural citrine is actually very rare and most of the gem traded in the market is heated amethyst. This is an accepted trade practice as both crystals are actually same.
In very rare cases, amethyst and citrine occur in one crystal only, this gemstone is called amertrine. Amertrine is a shaded gemstone with hues of purple and yellow making a fine color contrast in the same gem.

The yellow color quartz used as gemstone in the jewelry industry is known as citrine. Citrine is a semi-precious gemstone which is usually found in yellow, orange or golden hues. This gleaming golden gemstone is often sold by unscrupulous dealers as more expensive orange-yellow topaz.
The name citrine is derived from the French word ‘citron’, meaning lemon. The molecular formula of citrine is SiO2 , with a hardness of 7 on Mohs scale. Citrine is fairly resistant to scratches and cracks thus making it an ideal choice for a daily wear stone. The leading producer of naturally mined citrine is Brazil, with maximum production coming from the state of Rio Grande Do Sul. The other deposits of citrine are found in Russia, Madagascar and France.
The naturally occurring citrine is pale yellow in color. While the citrine used in jewelry is darker in color. This color change occurs due to the heat, which is applied to amethyst to turn it into yellow color gem called citrine. For this color change to happen naturally, the gemstone amethyst has to be near a heat emitting source in the earth’s crust. This gemstone should be protected from sunlight as a lot of exposure to sunlight will cause a permanent darkening effect over the stone or jewelry.
Citrine is the birthstone for the month of November and anniversary gemstone for the seventeenth year of marriage. This yellow color gemstone looks pretty especially when set in white gold. The various forms of body adornments like rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants are usually in demand, but the stone’s brilliant is at its best when set in a pendant.
