			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since it was first incorporated into fine jewellery roughly a thousand years ago, diamonds have adorned the royal, the noble, and the exquisite. Diamonds have never lost their charm, and have never been out of fashion.</p>
<p>What is it about diamonds that makes us swoon whenever we see it? The obvious answer is the impressive sparkle. The bedazzling appearance of a well cut, beautifully set diamond is enough to entice even the humblest of hearts.</p>
<p>Today the diamond still stands as the king of gemstones and the ultimate aspiration. Its durability, being the hardest substance on Earth, makes it the everlasting gift that can be passed on for generations. No wonder that it symbolises unconditional and everlasting love.</p>
<p>As a jewellery designer, I have the privilege of assisting my clients with choosing their engagement and wedding rings, as well as their milestone gifts (to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, new-born members of the family etc.). In other words, their precious heirlooms that will accompany them throughout their lives, and act as symbols of their love.</p>
<p>Most often, the token in question is an engagement ring. This is always an exciting and pleasant experience for me, not to mention the client! Deciding what the ring should look like can be quite daunting. There are so many different styles of rings to choose from, that it seems almost impossible that any woman could possible decide on just one engagement ring, and love it for years to come. The best place to start when choosing an engagement ring is with the diamond. The shape and size of the diamond greatly influences the dimensions of the engagement ring.</p>
<p>If you are a buying an engagement ring with the idea of it being a surprise, it is a good idea to make sure that you know what your intended fiancé would most prefer concerning the characteristics of their diamond. Is she the type of person who would want the highest purity and colour, or would she prefer to have the biggest diamond that your budget can allow, whether it be top white or not? Would she prefer the traditional solitaire, or way out of the ordinary?</p>
<p>When in doubt, my advice is always to keep it simple. A well made, 6-claw solitaire ring, set with a round brilliant cut diamond will always be beautiful and tasteful, and if it is well designed, it can be worn with any wedding ring. Other rings can be added later to act as enhancements for it. This in turn creates lovely opportunities for amazing birthday and anniversary gifts.</p>
<p>A solitaire does not need to be all traditional though. There are many different and elegant ways, besides the traditional 6-claw design, to set a diamond. The shape and thickness of the ring, openness and shape of the setting, and the finish (or texture) of the metal can all be manipulated to add unique qualities to an engagement ring, without cluttering it. Platinum especially offers endless possibilities as it is such a strong, durable precious metal.</p>
<p>Another way of ensuring that you have a unique solitaire ring is to have a diamond that is a less run of the mill cut. Round Brilliant Cut diamonds are by far the most commonly used, followed by Princess and Emerald Cut diamonds. Few couples even consider having an Oval, Pear or Marquise Cut set in their engagement ring.</p>
<p>One particular option which I would like to highlight, is to have a solitaire engagement ring set with a Cushion Cut diamond. This specific cut is rapidly increasing in popularity as more and more people are discovering its beauty. Cushion Cuts, also known as Old Mine Cuts, are four sided, deep square or rectangular diamonds with rounded edges. The appearance is softer than a princess or Emerald Cut, and it has the same sparkle as a Round Brilliant Cut. Another benefit is that fancy cut diamonds are more affordable per carat than a Round Brilliant cut of the same weight, clarity and colour.</p>
<p>So if you ever find yourself in the thrilling position of choosing an engagement ring, keep these thoughts in mind as you choose your own beautiful heirloom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Moissanite rings are becoming more popular as the substitute for diamonds. It has almost the same look and quality as the diamond rings. It is nearly impossible for someone to tell the difference between this band and diamond rings. Due to high technology and development in manufacturing these bands, it is possible to make such as the alternative rather than buying expensive diamonds. Through advance development in production technique and design, the gem stone that is used to make such a band can be made and displayed in any kind of design and style, which is similar to what can be done to diamonds.</p>
<p>Only expert or trained eyes can tell the difference between moissanite rings and the diamond one. There is some kind of a rainbow glow inside it that diamonds do not own. The other difference that an expert could instantly tell between moissanite rings, and the diamond one is the level of hardness of its gemstone. Man-made gemstones are usually less hard than the diamonds. This is the reason why these stones are less preferable than diamonds for industrial application such as cutting.</p>
<p>Wearing moissanite rings gives you the similar feel like wearing diamond rings because of the near identical look and appearance. Because of the cheaper price of this ring, you will save a lot of money compared to if you buy a diamond ring. During these hard times of economic uncertainty, every dollar you earn should be well spent or kept in some place for that matter, very little people could afford to buy themselves an expensive diamond ring. Many people bought engagement or wedding rings prefer these types of bands rather than the diamond one due to its price and similarity to diamonds. This is a wise move regarding the economic situation recently.</p>
<p>Even though expensive gemstones like diamonds still considered being a wise investment on the long run because the value will rise as time goes by, still few people could actually afford it nowadays. Moissanite rings could be the perfect choice because they are more affordable and has all the look and quality as the diamond rings.</p>
<p>Do not measure the value of giving moissanite rings to its cost, because it has its own distinct and unique characteristics. Although it looks similar to diamonds, this band is different. It has a unique feature of its own and not to be compared to the diamond ones. As the origin of these stones is from outside of this earth, it has that shine of the stars. And because rings represent a symbol such as love, this unique glow of moissanite rings could overwhelm the one you love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the first things that people will say if asked to describe a diamond is that they sparkle.</p>
<p>Imagine a diamond for a second.</p>
<p>The image in your mind will display a sparkling stone beaming out light and color.</p>
<p>Diamonds are known for their sparkle.</p>
<p>As a purchaser, how do you buy a diamond that sparkles?</p>
<p>The factors involved in a diamonds value and its characteristic features are usually classed as follows.</p>
<p>Color, Clarity, Carat, and Cut.</p>
<p>In this article we will deal with Cut.</p>
<p>The cut of a diamond refers to two things.</p>
<p>The shape and the quality of the cut in regards to its proportions.</p>
<p>The shape of the diamond is a varied affair these days due to the amount of custom cuts on the market, but the standard and most common ones are the Round, Princess (square), Heart, and Emerald (rectangular).</p>
<p>Other cuts include, Baguette, Trillion, Cushion, Ascher, and the list goes on.</p>
<p>The shape will have an influence on the sparkle of the diamond and the way it display the light to the eye of the observer, but most have been optimized and perfected over the years to ensure all the major cuts provide maximum results.</p>
<p>The second factor in cut is the facets.</p>
<p>The facets are the faces of the diamond creating by carefully and accurately placed angled cuts on the outside of the diamond.</p>
<p>Take a moment to imagine the diamond as a set of mirrors all positioned to bounce the maximum amount of light from each other in an upwards direction to the eye of the observer.</p>
<p>If all the mirrors are perfectly positioned the maximum amount of light will follow the best possible path up to the top of the diamond and will then perform a color and sparkle display for the observer.</p>
<p>If the mirrors are off a little then light will follow a path away from the top and exit out of the sides or bottom of the diamond, thus resulting in reduced sparkle due to lost light.</p>
<p>This is primarily how a diamond sparkles.</p>
<p>When choosing a diamond that will provide the maximum amount of light display (sparkle) you should be sure to get the best grade of cut you can.</p>
<p>Cut is graded as such.</p>
<p>It is graded from 000 up to 10.</p>
<p>000 being absolutely perfect cut, basically unbeatable, 0-00 is excellent, 1-2 is a good cut, and so on until you get into the higher numbers that would be something like a beginner to diamond cutting would produce.</p>
<p>Obviously the better the cut the higher the price tag, so do not be disappointed if you can not raise the funds for a 000 cut, it is similar to buying a Bentley of diamonds, not everyone can do it, but that does not mean that anything lower is vastly inferior, it just means it is not of the highest grade in the world, but certainly not the lowest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Claddagh rings date all the way back to the 17th century and their meaning hasn&#8217;t changed much since then. More than just a pretty piece of Celtic jewelry, there isn&#8217;t just significance to wearing a Claddagh, there is meaning to giving one too. Read on to learn about the importance behind the popular ring and how to properly give and/or wear one.</p>
<p>The most popular and generally accepted legend regarding how the first Claddagh ring came to be is a pretty romantic story involving Richard Joyce and his true love. Richard Joyce was a fisherman from Galway who was kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave to a Moorish goldsmith. While imprisoned, Joyce learned how to make jewelry from the goldsmith and crafted a beautiful Celtic ring featuring a heart topped by a crown being clasped by two hands.</p>
<p>After the accession of William III to the throne, all British prisoners were set free and Joyce was allowed to return to Galway. Upon reuniting with his beloved, he gave her what is now known as the Claddagh ring, hence this piece of Claddagh jewelry became a symbol of his undying love for her. Most people now agree that the hands symbolize friendship; the heart symbolizes love; and the crown symbolizes loyalty.</p>
<p>Later on, the rings began to serve as Celtic wedding bands worn on the left hand ring finger, with the following saying attached: With my Hands I give you my Heart and Crown it with my Love. Generations of Irish families have handed down their Claddagh wedding rings as treasured heirlooms, and although each ring may vary in appearance, the design always includes the hands, heart and crown.</p>
<p>While still used as wedding rings, the Claddagh ring can now be worn as a sign of friendship or loyalty. The ring&#8217;s meaning generally depends on how it is being worn. If you&#8217;re single and ready to mingle, you would wear your Claddagh ring on your right ring finger with the heart pointed away from you. If you&#8217;re in a relationship, you would wear it turned around with the heart pointed towards you, thereby letting others know you&#8217;re taken.</p>
<p>Whether a gift between friends, a boyfriend and girlfriend, or husband and wife, the Claddagh&#8217;s meaning makes it a gift that will be truly appreciated by any recipient. A silver or gold Claddagh ring is always an appropriate gift to a loved one or friend, but is especially significant when given to a person who is somehow attached to Ireland, its heritage and people.</p>
<p>For a truly meaningful gift, consider giving a Claddagh ring to your friend or loved one today!</p>
