Diamond Gifts For That Special Woman In Your Life
by Gabriel Adams
plug itHave you ever seen what diamonds look like before they end up all shiny in a jewelry store? If you have, I am sure that you find it as amazing as I do. Who would ever guess that underneath all that darkness there would be such a beautiful stone!
Have you ever heard of a person being called a "diamond in the rough"? Just as it takes a lot of work and faith to see the diamond in a person, it takes a great craftsman to clean and cut a diamond to make it truly a work of art.
When we go to a jewelry store to choose a diamond, we aren't thinking about what that diamond looked like before it got there. As we go down the rows of diamonds on display, we are just in awe at how beautiful they are. How those diamonds do sparkle sitting in the case under the lights!
Although there are many men who appreciate diamonds, there is a reason why people say that diamonds are the way to a woman's heart. There is nothing that says "I love you" like giving diamonds to that special woman in your life!
It doesn't matter whether you are giving her a diamond for your engagement, wedding anniversary, her birthday, a holiday or just because you want to express how special she is to you. When you ask her to marry you, most likely you will give her an engagement ring with diamonds in it.
Has she ever mentioned how she saw this beautiful diamond on a television commercial that had a princess cut? Keep that in mind when you go shopping for a gift for her. Although princess cut diamonds are a little pricier than a plain round cut, they are definitely worth it! How they pick up the light!
There are even diamond rings that also have pearls included. If her birthday is in April, you could give her a ring like that. You would be right on target since both stones are special for that month. She definitely will be eager to show you her appreciation for your thoughtfulness!
However, you may choose a diamond necklace for her birthday. As a special gift for your wedding anniversary, you may decide to get her a diamond bracelet to match. For instance, if you are going to be celebrating your 10th anniversary, you might choose something that has ten diamonds.
Don't forget about Valentine's Day! You could buy her a lovely diamond that is in the shape of a heart. No woman could resist a man who gave her a gift like that. You would definitely win her heart when she opens that present! To make that special day even better, you could take her out for a special candlelight dinner and surprise her with this special diamond during the meal.
You may feel that you aren't good at knowing how to express your affection in words. There is no doubt that any gift that includes diamonds will definitely speak louder than any words you could have spoken! Just be prepared for all those hugs and kisses that you will be receiving once she has seen your gift of diamonds!

His and Hers Promise Rings
His and Hers Promise Rings
by Ian Maher
plug itA promise ring is a symbol of love and commitment made from one person to another. It traditionally is given during dating when the relationship turns more serious. When you give a promise ring, you are promising to be faithful and to love the recipient forever. Generally a promise ring is given as a precursor to an engagement ring. It symbolizes sort of a trial period before engagement, but can mean something far more romantic.
When you give a promise ring, it is up to you to come up with its true meaning. This can vary from person to person as much as relationships can vary from couple to couple. You may have helped your loved one through a personal hardship and your promise ring could symbolize your devotion towards being there when your partner needs you. It could simply be a romantic gift symbolizing the next level of your relationship. No matter what the individual meaning of the promise ring is, it is taken very seriously and should strengthen the bond between two people.
Promise rings are not necessarily meant just for women. The current trend is for the woman to also give the gift of a promise ring to a man. Men have historically been left out of the ring-receiving game until their wedding day. Now that it is much more common for men to accessorize with rings, whether it is costume jewelry, right hand rings or promise rings, the act of giving a promise ring to your male mate can make a unique and powerful impact on a man. Men appreciate being noticed and appreciated as much as women and there is no reason to leave him out of this special occasion. If he gives you a promise ring, he is no doubt proud of you and wants to spend his life with you. Return the favor and surprise him by doing the same.
Promise rings do not have to be fancy or expensive. Many people that give promise rings do it because they are ready to commit for life, but can not yet afford the engagement ring that they believe their lady deserves. When shopping for promise rings, there are a few guidelines that you should adhere to in order to adhere to the tradition.
First, the promise ring that you choose should be made of a precious metal, such as silver, gold or platinum. These types of metals will not turn, should not cause an allergic reaction, and should last for years and years. The second tradition to adhere to is that the ring be one solid circle. Adjustable rings just do not mean the same thing. A continuous circle represents the circle of life or the unending love and affection that you are aiming to embody.
It is also traditional to give someone a promise ring with small stones. Birthstones are very popular choices, but you can also leave this decision up to your imagination. Rubies can represent the red fire love that you feel towards your partner. Sapphires can symbolize that you always will be true blue towards your mate. Emeralds can correspond with how your special someone makes you feel rich and prosperous, despite the fact that you may not be rich by some people's standards.
Giving promise rings to each other makes a bold statement to your friends and family letting them know that you are seriously in love. More importantly, it tells the recipient that you are dedicated to them and appreciate where you are in the relationship.

Fashion Jewelry Trends For Spring 2008-5 Ways To Make Your Jewelry "Pop"
Fashion Jewelry Trends For Spring 2008-5 Ways To Make Your Jewelry "Pop"
by Julia White
plug itThe Spring 2008 fashion jewelry trends are all about "pop". Wondering what to wear with your trendy neon shirtdress or bold black and white safari print skirt? Don't be afraid to continue the trend with a pop of color and style in your jewelry. The following are the top five ways to pop up your style this season.
#1 Compliment Your Color Palette: Bright colors are in this Spring. From fluorescent yellow to neon green, Spring 2008 fashion has put a sophisticated twist on the colors made popular in the 80's. But, don't break out your old lace gloves and rubber bracelets just yet. The modern "Material Girl" knows this Spring's fashion jewelry trends are all about complimenting the outfit not overpowering it.
#2 Know When Less Color Is More: When wearing a solid bright color, pick jewelry in more minimal colors. For example, wear a soft orange colored pair of earrings with your neon orange dress. Gold and silver tones are also great to do this. Add a pop of style with the size of the jewelry pieces you choose. Add a chunky bracelet, a large fleur-de-lis necklace, or big hoop earrings.
#3 Pop Not Peacock: Multicolored prints are also in this year. It is not necessary to represent every color of your outfit in the jewelry you wear. Instead, choose jewelry that pulls out one color from the print. It is recommended that you pick a color that is less prevalent. This technique is a subtle way to draw the eye to both your outfit and your accessories.
#4 The Little Black Dress With A Kick: Black and white is considered the "new black" this season. Don't make a mistake and think that you can only wear black and white accessories. After all, you don't want to look like you stepped out of an old black and white movie. Add a pop to your look with brightly colored accessories. It's amazing how a thick red bangle, a yellow choker, or a bright blue (yes, I said blue) pair of earrings can bring depth to a monochrome outfit. The trick is to pick one bright color and wear it sparingly. This fashion jewelry trend is fun and glamorous.
#5 Don't Go Overboard: It is possible that you may find a great chunky jewelry set with a necklace, earrings, ring and bracelet. Although you may love all four pieces, try not to wear them all at once. Instead, pick one or two (depending on the size) jewelry pieces that will bring attention to your or your outfit's best feature. If you are wearing a sleeveless halter dress, stack on the bracelets or a ring. Want to add emphasis to your neckline, put on a necklace.
Mixing and matching pieces is fine. Just make sure you don't go overboard with the same size, color, or style. Wearing too much pop can turn you from a fashion jewelry trend setting diva, to grandma with each extra item you put on. Remember, the goal is to compliment your new Spring look, not distract from it.

An Emerald Ring Makes A Great Gift For The Special Women In Your Life
An Emerald Ring Makes A Great Gift For The Special Women In Your Life
by Craig Thornburrow
plug itThey say that diamonds are a girl's best friend. While that may be the truth, diamonds are not always the most affordable gifts for the ladies in your life, and if you are like many men you have a lot of ladies. Emerald rings, necklaces, and earrings also make great gifts. While they are certainly not on the same level as diamonds, they make a thoughtful and elegant present for any woman and match well with many clothing, eyes, and even personalities!
Using an Emerald Ring as an Engagement Ring
Here's one way to show the lady in your life that you aren't like all the rest--propose to her with an emerald ring. AN emerald ring says so much--it is equally as beautiful as a diamond but certainly very different. This makes it a perfect gift for that lady that is a little different from the rest--perhaps a finer quality than the other women you have had feelings for in your life. Your loved one is unique; shouldn't her engagement ring be just as unique as she is?
An Emerald Ring is Not Costume Jewelry
Many people look down on an emerald ring as jewelry because they see it as costume jewelry. This is certainly not the case. Emeralds are a pricey, valuable stone just like a diamond but are in a class of their own. They are green in color of course, which makes it the perfect accessory for some people who need a good piece of jewelry to match their outfits.
An emerald ring or necklace can certainly accent a lovely pair of green eyes, and get stares and compliments that diamonds would not warrant. There is something unique about an emerald ring that does not go along with a diamond. However lovely diamond rings are, they come a dime a dozen and if you give your lady a diamond, chances are that ten of her friends will have a ring of similar nature. If you give her an emerald ring, chances are that none of her other friends will have such a fine piece of jewelry.
An emerald ring is the type of jewelry that often goes unnoticed an unappreciated. You have to own one or have seen one in person to be able to appreciate the amazing beauty that goes along with them. They are versatile and easily dressed up or dressed down, and can be casual or fine jewelry--whatever the occasion calls for.
If you want to give your loved one the type of gift that they will remember forever, diamonds are okay but an emerald ring is better. There will be many instances in life for you to be able to buy diamonds for the lady in your life, and an emerald ring is the type of ring that will let them know how truly special you think they are. An emerald ring can be found at remarkable prices, if you know where to look.

Tips On Choosing a Wedding Ring
Tips On Choosing a Wedding Ring
by Claire Tourney
plug itYoung couples who plan to marry should spend some quality time when it comes to choosing their wedding rings; remember these are the rings you will wear for the rest of your life, you will want them to be perfect for you and your partner. The rings are an indication of shared love and should show this, so it's important put some time and research into choosing a wedding ring.
You can search for a wedding ring by various methods, a visit to a jeweler will help you to see the metals and styles generally available but if possible avoid one of the jewelry chains situated in shopping malls everywhere as it is unlikely anything unique will be found there. Another choice is online shopping and you will find a much wider selection and probably save some money too.
Be sure you do not buy a wedding ring that is more elaborate than the engagement ring; it may seem like more work but it should be possible to find rings that compliment one another. To achieve this, the easiest method is to place both the wedding band and engagement ring side by side if it is not possible to try the ring on because the size needs adjusting. You can be pretty sure too that if you choose a plain simple band that it will complement most any type of engagement ring.
If however you would prefer a more unique wedding ring a specialty jeweler is recommended. You may perhaps even want to design your own rings. This would be the most costly option and something to consider when deciding on the budget for your wedding rings. Another option for finding a unique ring is to consider buying a vintage or antique ring. Antique rings are wonderful reminders of the beauty of bygone days and if you and your fiancé already have a passion for collecting and using antiques then this may be the perfect solution for you.
Although some metals are fashionable for a while, including: (1) Silver, (2) White Gold, (3) Yellow Gold and (4) Titanium; durability is an issue and that is why platinum is becoming so popular. Platinum is the most expensive of the metals of course, and the budget is almost always a contributing factor in the purchase of your wedding ring but of the two partners, it is the man who will appreciate a platinum ring's durability more. The number of men doing manual tasks is still greater than women; and they are the ones most likely to cause damage to their ring.
A simple but necessary part of the process is to check finger size so the wedding ring fits correctly; after all the expense involved, you need the rings to fit correctly! If the ring doesn't seem to fit right take it to a professional jeweler for sizing, this will prevent it from being too tight or too loose and slipping off.
If you want to make sure your rings are ready in plenty of time for the wedding, give your jeweler enough time to complete any adjustments; he may have a number of customers rings to be sized and you do not want a problem on the wedding day.
There is a huge variety of wedding bands available these days; choosing the right one can take quite some time and a number of visits to the jeweler or online shopping sites. However, the most important aspect to remember when choosing a wedding ring is that its purpose is to show the love that two people have for one another; there isn't a stronger symbol of the love two people share.
