How To Choose Diamonds Rings For My Love?

By Ted Crist

Diamonds rings are always charming and special gift for your love one. Because they are so special, they often use as an engagement ring or as a wedding ring. However, with so many stores selling diamonds rings, choosing the right one can be tiring and confusing process. Before you buy the diamonds rings and to make it easier for you, it is better if do some research and understand several things.

First and most importantly, you must know your budget. Diamonds rings are an expensive thing. I know you want to make your love one happy by giving her the best diamonds rings you can afford. But, you must think about the cost for your wedding too right? So, it’s better if already know how much you will spend for your wedding ceremony and then you’ll know how much you can spend for the diamonds rings.

Second, you must find out about your love one taste. Is it she likes round diamonds cut, princess diamonds cut or maybe heart shape diamonds cut, etc. Also, is it she is an active person or not. If she is an active person, it’s better if you choose the diamonds rings setting or style that hold the diamonds strong, secure and not so raised above the ring surface, because you don’t want to lose your expensive diamonds while she do her activity right? After the diamond cut type and the ring settings, you should also know about her favorite color, is it she prefers white gold, yellow gold, or another ring material color. If you unsure about her taste, you can buy round cut diamonds rings with standard setting, nothing can be wrong with it as they commonly used. For the color, even though yellow gold is commonly used for engagement or wedding ring, but white gold is gaining its popularity nowadays. So, if you don’t know what the color or ring material that she likes, just choose based on your judgment or what you like.

And the last but not least is doing some comparison between different jewelry stores. To do this, you can do it online, as it saving your times, energy and cost. Learn a little about the diamond 4 C’s (Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat) to understand about the diamond quality. After that you can do your comparison and you will know if the stores are selling their diamonds rings too expensive or not based on the diamonds quality. If you want to buy expensive diamonds rings, I highly recommend you to buy the diamonds that have certificate from trusted grading lab such as GIA, AGS, and EGL.

After you do these research, I hope it make it easier for you to choose the best diamonds rings your love one (and for you too, because you are the one who spend the money :-) ). But, on top of that, don’t worry too much is she don’t like it, because she want to marry you because she love you, not the diamonds rings right?

Choosing Emerald Rings

By Ted Crist

If you have someone special in your life, and you want to give her something special, you can give her emerald rings as a gift, especially if her favorite color is green. Emerald is one of the precious stones besides diamond, sapphire and ruby. Emerald hardness level is between 7.5 and 8 moh’s scale.

Emerald rings sometimes used as engagement rings or for wedding rings. If you want something different for your engagement day, you can use emerald rings. I’m sure it will attract more attention than if you used diamonds rings. However, you can always give emerald rings as a gift for your special one without have to wait for some special moment such as engagement. They also gave for 20th, 35th, or 55th wedding anniversaries. The conclusion is emerald is so flexible to use for any occasions, either as a gift, engagement rings, anniversary rings, anything.

Best quality emeralds are comes from Colombia. The other country that produces good quality emerald is Brazil, America and Russia. There are also synthetic or simulant emeralds. They are grown in laboratory by creating condition similarly in nature.

Most people don’t realize that emerald is a precious stone. Emerald rings can be as much expensive as diamond rings. Before you buy emerald rings, there are several things you should consider such as the material to used as a ring, the settings and emerald quality itself

Emerald will match perfectly with white color metal such as white gold, platinum, titanium, silver or even stainless steel. But if you want more vivid looks, you can use yellow gold as the ring material; it’s just a matter of taste.

After you choose the ring material, you have to decided which setting you will be used. You can use just one emerald stone on your rings or you can use another stones to enhance the beauty of emerald. Diamonds is another stones that usually chosen to used together with emerald. Whatever setting that you choose, you must remember that emerald have brittle characteristic, so you must choose the setting that will protect its vulnerable point.

Color is one of the most important factors that determine the quality of emerald. Good quality emerald will have deep vivid green color. It will worth much more than emerald with pale color. The color also should be uniform. The other factors to consider are clarity (inclusions), the cut (polish and symmetry) and of course carat.

Jeweler offer many style and models of emerald rings with many different rings material, settings and emerald quality. But if you want to be more unique, you can buy just the emerald stone and ask the jeweler to make the rings. Just make sure you go to the well known jeweler to do this job.

Mens Wedding Bands Selection besides Gold

By: Ted Crist

Wedding bands is a symbol of eternal relationship. Mens wearing wedding bands to show that he is not available and he denote his commitment to his bride.

Some men love to wear jewelry, some are not. For men that don’t wear jewelry, the only one jewelry that used is usually mens wedding bands. Because of that reason, mens want to have mens wedding bands that special, something that he really likes.

Gold is the material that commonly used for wedding bands, but there are some other choices for a man that wants to be different. The most preferred material to use as mens wedding bands besides gold is Titanium, platinum and recently tungsten carbide.

Titanium is a hypo-allergenic and corrosion free metal. This material is light weight but strong. Usually the colors of titanium are grey, but there’s also black titanium and some anodized with another color.

Platinum is a white metal, and it looks like white gold ring, but harder, heavier and stronger. Platinum ring is a rare material, and that what makes platinum rings so expensive.

Tungsten carbide is the hardest material from all the material that used to make mens rings (8 - 9 Mohs hardness scale, while diamond is 10). If you want scratch resistance ring, tungsten carbide ring is your best choice. Because it’s hard, you can wear it anytime anywhere.

Actually there are still other options for mens wedding bands material, such as stainless steel, silver, exotic material such as carbon fiber, etc. Silver is not used for mens wedding bands because they are not so durable. Good quality stainless steel ring actually can be used for mens wedding bands, but they are not so popular because most people don’t see stainless steel rings as a precious metal.

If you already choose which material that you will be used for your mens wedding bands, but you don’t like the style that offered by jeweler, you can create your own style. Just make sure you choose an expert jeweler that can transfer your imagination into reality perfectly.
