Emerald Ring for Your Engagement Day

Gold Emerald Ring

This article is for all men that looking for engagement ring for their loved one. My suggestion is an emerald ring, and why is that? It’s because I love green :-)

Actually I’m little bit confuse, why people so excited about diamond, diamond is the best gemstone, if you cannot afford diamond you are poor, diamond is the only one gemstone that can be used for engagement or wedding ring, the most beautiful gemstone in the world is diamond, etc.

It’s not that I hate diamond, it just don’t limit your options only with the diamonds. If you want to buy diamond because you like the color, its flawless, its shine, its “fire”, then it’s fine for you to buy diamond (of course if you can afford to buy it :-) ). But if you want to buy diamonds because everyone tells you to do so, I recommend you to think twice before you decide it to buy diamond. OK, I’ll make it simple for you, which one do you like, you buy emerald ring, and you still have some money to take her vacation, or you buy diamond ring and after that you can’t give her another surprise.

If you can afford to buy a diamond, but your heart tells you that emerald is better or you like it more, don’t hesitate to buy it. For me, emerald looks more calm, and if your girl has green eyes, it will be a perfect choice to match with the emerald ring. After all you are men; you should take a decision by yourself, not because of people’s opinions.

OK, so you like the emerald ring, and now the only one problem is you afraid that she don’t like it, I just can say “Just Buy it!” What if she doesn’t like it? Actually it will create two questions, the first one is “is she love really loves you or she loves you if you give her diamond” and the second is “she says that she like it, but you can tell by looking into her eyes that she is lying… at least you know that she loves you :-) “, well in that case, just buy a diamond ring for the wedding ring, it’s that simple… maybe some of you will say “yeah right! Do you think that buying a diamond it’s like buying a candy HUH?!!” Be patient my friend or you will go to the dark side (Star Wars MODE: ON), so the solution is take a deep breath, and start saving your money :-)

One thing that’s most important is don’t give your girl a fake diamond, don’t even think about it. Even your girl doesn’t know that it is fake, isn’t it like your lying to her? Well, if you don’t have a problem with that, it’s up to you.

White Gold Jewelry, the Perfect Choice

10K White Gold Jewelry

Before I tell you the reason why white gold jewelry is the perfect choice, you should know first how to make white gold jewelry.

There is no pure white gold. White gold is a mixture of gold with at least one white metal such as silver, nickel or palladium plus it’s replated with rhodium to enhance its white color. The main reason why gold must be mixed with other metals is to make gold harder so it won’t bent so easily and maintain their shape. In this case also to make gold looks white.

14 parts of gold plus 10 parts other metal will create 14K gold, while 18 parts of gold plus 6 parts other metal will create 18K gold. Gold if it’s mixture with nickel will create hard white gold, but because it has brittle characteristic it’s not a wise choice to use it as a gem settings. Plus some people reported they have allergic reaction with nickel. For these reasons, gold that mixed with palladium is a better choice.

If your white gold jewelry starts to change color after some period of time and constant use, don’t you worry, you can replated again with rhodium. Just bring your jewelry to the jeweler; they’ll know what to do.

More and more people choose white gold jewelry than yellow gold jewelry, because it looks fresher and modern but also neutral. White gold jewelry can match with any colors, whether the color of your skin, your clothes, your hair, your shoes, your purse, anything. White gold jewelry also can match with your outfit. You can wear t-shirt and jeans with white gold jewelry and it still looks good.

Platinum Jewelry Vs White Gold Jewelry. Platinum jewelry is more durable and more pure than white gold jewelry. So why don’t we buy platinum jewelry instead of white gold jewelry? Because the price is much higher than white gold jewelry. Yes we can save money to buy platinum jewelry, but I think it’s not necessary.

I give you an example: if you are saving your two month salary to buy platinum jewelry, and you wear same jewelry in every occasion, isn’t it boring? If you buy white gold jewelry, you can have at least two different jewelries than one platinum jewelry with the same price. So you have more jewelry collections thus you have bigger selections to mix and match with your outfit and occasion.

White gold jewelry is a perfect choice because it looks bright, shine, fresh and modern with an affordable price.

Diamond Band

Learn A Little About Diamond 4Cs Before You Buy Diamond Band

By: Ted Crist

Diamond Bands

Diamond Bands

What is the difference between diamond rings with the diamond band? Maybe for some people that is a stupid question, but actually I ask this question once :-) . The difference is for the diamond ring usually only use 1-3 diamonds just on one side of the ring, while diamond band use more than three diamonds, usually with same size and same type of cut.

Diamond band or some people call it eternity band reflects a never ending love; it would be a perfect gift for a wedding anniversary. But of course, it’s perfect for fashion too.

Since diamond dominated the diamond band appearance, so it’s better if you learn a little about diamond. Usually diamond that used for diamond band is not a number one quality diamond. Because if it is number one quality, I bet that would be super duper expensive, and you have to insurance that. And the insurance also as expensive as the diamond band price.

4Cs (Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat) are the four aspects that mention about diamond quality and determine the price.

First, we talk about the color. Color of the diamond describe by a letter from D to Z. D is most colorless diamond, while Z means the diamond have light yellow color. From grade D-G can consider as a colorless diamond, H-L near colorless, from M bellow will have yellowish color. Usually the diamond used in diamond band have grade H-L.

Clarity means diamond purity. Best clarity diamond describes as Internally Flawless (IF). Here are the orders of diamond clarity: IF-VVS1-VVS2-VS1-VS2-SI1-SI2-I1-I2-I3. VVS means Very Very Slightly Included (the diamond has a very very small inclusion), VS means Very Slightly included, SI means Slightly included, while “I” mean the diamond have inclusions that can be seen by a trained naked eyes.

Cut will determine how well diamond reflects the light. Good cut will reflect the light that enters the diamond back to the surface of the diamond and makes the diamond looks shine and sparkle. Poor cut will cause the light that enters diamonds exits through the bottom or the sides of diamond.

Carat is the weight of the diamond. 1 Carat (1.00ct) = 100 points diamond = 0.2 gram. So if there any 50 point diamond, means that diamond is half a carat (0.50ct) = 0.1 gram.

That’s all the basic 4C’s. I won’t tell the detail in this article, because if I tell it in detail it would be a long article, and of course boring :-)
