Solitaire or Cluster:

Solitaire and Cluster copy

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 selection of an engagement rings may be more varied at high-end jewelry shops but may not necessarily have the best collection that is not available elsewhere. Especially if cash is a concern, then a regular shop may prove to be a better bet than a high-end jewelry store.

Are Large Diamonds Better

121132


Bigger may not necessarily mean better in case of diamond engagement rings. Size definitely is not directly proportional to the appeal of an engagement ring especially one of diamonds. There are so many other factors that contribute to a ring's attractiveness, like the clarity, cut and design apart from color of metal and setting.

Which is the best – earrings or studs?


D7 copyIf 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 D8 copybe 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.

Diamond AND gEMSTONE rINGS copy

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.

Welcome to nature’s kaleidoscope, the world of magical stones in lovely colors and breathtaking beauty. You’ve heard of them, seen them and fallen in love with them, now it’s time to own them.

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.
So now that you know the rules of the game… play on!

Now, what can one say to compare emeralds and peridots without making either of them turn green with envy? Jokes apart we are lucky to have been bestowed with two such beautiful and unique shades of green gemstones. Let’s talk about color as it is the most vital determining factor in gemstones. Peridots occur in a clear shade of olive green, with varying color intensity depending purely on the proportion of iron components and therefore range from yellow-green, olive-green to brownish-green. Emeralds on the other hand come in a darker shade of green with a prominence of this shade alone. Peridots have a distinct yellow tone while it is the pure green in emeralds that is so hard to resist due to its rich, warm look. Not to forget the befitting description of emeralds as ‘Nothing greens greener’ by Pliny the Elder.

A cobra guards a pair of ruby, sapphire and diamond sandals at Harrods department store in central London. Designer Rene Caovilla's sandals are valued at 62,000 pounds (91,234 euros, 125,872 dollars)

Last September 10, 2007 , it was announced on national television about cobra to guard $120,000 shoes. But why cobra? Maybe because cobra is so dangerous, poisonous and you cannot touched things that is special to them. For me, it is interesting to know about that and another question, but why that shoes is so special to high society owners and to all! Maybe because, that shoes is so precious because it is made of ruby , sapphire, diamonds and the cost is so expensive.

At the London Harrods, Rene Caovilla says that retailer went to extreme lengths and they used Egyptian cobra to guard the shoe counter.

According to security experts, hiring a poisonous snake is the most effective means of guarding precious footwear .
A spokeswoman for Harrods admitted that the cobra had been hired strictly for Monday as launch of the shoe collection.
