It is a jewelry that will surely be appreciated. While shopping for the Bridesmaid Pearl Jewelry, always remember the style and location of the wedding. For example, if it is a beach marriage, then select pearl jewelry such that it will suit the calm and relaxed location. Here I would prefer jewelry handcrafted from the Keshi pearls or the coin pearls. The round coin pearls are unique and fun vibe, similarly like that of the Keshi pearls. Both are the height of fashion. Coin pearls and Keshi pearls are a best choice if you wish to present pearls to your bridesmaid, and are looking for something away from the classic and traditional strands.

Diamond Wedding Rings
Most people think that diamonds are usually the domain of engagement rings, diamonds are actually increasingly popular for use in wedding rings as well. Because the diamond is a classic gemstone which symbolizes love and fidelity, incorporating one or more into the design of your wedding ring is a beautiful symbol of your love for one another.
Styles
A popular choice would be a bridal set, which encompasses both a diamond wedding ring and a complementary engagement ring, designed to be worn together. You can also choose from a simple wedding band with small diamonds scattered throughout, or a three-stone design with diamonds that are roughly uniform in size for a classically beautiful look.
Pave settings are also highly popular for use as wedding rings. With a pave setting, the entire band seems to be created from nothing but diamonds. While these rings may be more expensive than other kinds, their beauty is undeniable.
The Cost
For example, a higher quality diamond will cost much more than a stone with a lesser quality rating, and larger diamonds will typically cost more than diamonds with a lesser carat weight. Synthetic diamonds (i.e., “fake stones”,) may be able to emulate the look of a true diamond without the hefty price tag.
The intricacy of the design and type of metal used will also affect the overall price of a diamond wedding ring, so keep this in mind when shopping for the perfect ring. You would also do well to familiarize yourself with the 4 C’s of diamond quality (cut, carat weight, color and clarity) which will help you when examining diamonds and choosing the one that is right for you.

Rare Blue Diamond By Sotheby's
Monday, June 15, 2009
A rare and flawless cushion-shaped blue diamond is expected to sell for between $5.8 million and $8.5 million
Petra Diamonds said that the stone ranks amongst the most important blue diamonds ever to be offered for sale at Sotheby’s.
Discovered in Petra Diamonds’ Cullinan diamond mine in South Africa, the 7.03ct diamond was cut from a 26.58ct rough stone.
It has received the highest possible grading from The Gemological Institute of America, which marked it as a fancy vivid blue colour and internally flawless in clarity.
The magnificent gem will first be exhibited in Hong Kong, Paris, New York and London.
“Rough-diamond prices currently aren’t that good, so we decided to go this route and ensure the stone gets maximum exposure,” Johan Dippenaar, Petra’s chief executive, told Bloomberg News.
The world’s most expensive blue diamond is the 17th century Blue Wittelsbach Diamond, which sold for $24.3 million at Christie’s last December.

Largest & Rarest Diamonds Ever Found
 The Blue Heart
The Blue Heart diamond is 30.82 carats.
The Centenary Diamond
The Centenary Diamond On March 1, 1988, De Beers was having a big bash to celebrate their 100 years in business.
 The Cullinan Diamond
The Cullinan Diamond At an insane 3,106.75 carats the Cullinan is the largest diamond ever found. It was split into nine big chunks, 96 small ones and 9.5 carats of unpolished pieces. They’re all part of the Crown Jewels or belong in the private collection of the royal family:
The Golden Eye Diamond
The world’s largest flawless Canary Yellow diamond. Its original uncut 124.5-carat state. The Golden Eye Diamond This particular type of diamond - a fancy intense yellow - accounts for less than 0.1 percent of all natural diamonds, so you can imagine how rare one this size is. The gem was cut to a still-huge 43.51 carats and somehow became entangled in a drug dealing and money laundering ring in Ohio, which was busted in 2006. As a result, the unusual jewel became property of the U.S. government. Just as of May 11, 2009, it was declared that the Golden Eye diamond belonged to the government, and in turn, the government announced that it would be auctioning the diamond off. So if you’re looking for a rare yellow diamond in the neighborhood of $15-$20 million.
 The Koh-i-noor
The Koh-i-noor The Koh-i-noor is more than 5,000 years old.For hundreds of years it was in the possession of various Indian Emperors and was even installed into the Peacock Throne of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.But in 1851, it was decided that the bauble would be presented to Queen Victoria, who immediately put it on display at the Crystal Palace Exhibition.
Spirit of de Grisogono
The largest cut black diamond in the world is also the world’s fifth-largest diamond of any kind, weighing in at 312.24 carats. It was 587 carats before it was cut. The Spirit of de Grisogono is set in a ring that contains 702 white diamonds and is thought to have been sold to a private collector.
 The Earth Star
The Earth Star When this huge sparkler was found at a South African De Beers mine in 1967, it was a whopping 248.9 carats. As you can imagine, it caused quite the stir in the industry, and not just because of its massive size. It was actually the color everyone was talking about: The Earth Star was brown. The Baum gold Bros. jewelers bought the enormous jewel and cut it into a pear shape that ended up weighing 111.59 carats.
The Golden Jubilee
The Golden Jubilee It’s the largest faceted diamond in the world. But when it was first discovered in 1985, people in the industry refered to the 755.5 uncut rock as “The Unnamed Brown” and “The Ugly Duckling.” Since it was kind of homely, De Beers decided to let jewel cutter Gabriel Tolkow sky try an experimental method of cutting using some untested tools.
 The Ocean Dream Diamond
The Ocean Dream Diamond The Ocean Dream may be small - a mere 5.51 carats - but it’s the only diamond in the world of its kind. No other diamond is known to naturally possess a blue-green hue like this one. The color is thought to have come from being exposed to natural radiation in Central Africa for thousands of years.
The Hope Diamond
Hope diamond This 45.52 fancy deep blue diamond is gorgeous, to be sure, but also deadly - at least according to some. The Hope’s story starts with the Tavernier Blue, a crudely cut triangular stone of about 115 carats that was sold to King Louis XIV in 1669. Several years later, Louis had the stone cut down to about 67 carats and had it suspended on a gold ribbon so he could wear it on formal occasions. He renamed the new cut the “French Blue.” In the mid 1700s, Louis XV had the gem set into a pendant and it was much speculated that Marie Antoinette wore it; the curse is the reason she was beheaded. Not so, say most historians: there’s no evidence that it ever adorned the doomed Queen. The French Blue mysteriously disappeared in a jewel heist in 1792 and never turned up again.

Non-Piercing Body Jewelry
Non-Piercing Jewelry, Here Are Some Nice Options:
- One of them is the clip-on hoop earrings that can also be worn as a naval ring. Smaller hoop earrings tend to work best for this. You can add different colored charms for variety.
- Ear cuffs are also curved metal bands that slide onto the upper part of the ear. Generally, they just “fit” there, there is no pinching involved. Some are plain; others have dangles. These are a nice option instead of a second ear piercing.
- Magnetic earrings can look very real and it seems as if the person is wearing a stud. The ear stud is visible in the front and is held there by a magnet that is on the back of the ear lobe. Small ones have been used as an alternative to nose studs.
- Stick-on earrings have adhesive backs which stick to the ear lobe. Some people choose to wear these on other parts of the body as well. Using them as belly rings or nose studs is fairly common.
- Waist chains, anklets, and toe rings are popular body jewelry that don’t need a piercing.

June Birthstone – Pearl
Monday, June 1, 2009
June is the time for weddings, the perfect occasion to wear the creamy white June birthstone jewelry - a pearl necklace.
This precious jewelry is created in the ocean depths with a process as mystifying as it looks. Whenever a mussel, clam or an oyster gets irritated by an intruder, in the form of a parasite or a small fish, it produces a protective layering substance called the ‘nacre’. Over a long period of time, this layer of nacre develops into a shimmering lustrous pearl.
Pearls can be harvested from the oceans of the South Pacific Islands, the Persian Gulf and Japan.
People have been obsessed with pearls throughout the ages. They grind and use these gems as cosmetic components and as treatment for stomach ailments. They also use pearls to decorate temples, crowns and clothing. Pearls are even thought to have aphrodisiac effects.
The pearl symbolizes innocence and purity. It stands against the thoughts of materialism and greed as suggested in a story by John Steinbeck, in a book entitled ‘The Pearl.’ Every fair lady wearing simple white dresses with a pearl jewelry is a sight to behold, and is used most of the times, as a subject in paintings and photography. In modern times, the conventional practice of wearing pearls is mixed with the latest fashion creations, giving them an eclectic trend.

What Is 925 Silver?
925 silver is a standard used by craftsmen and you, as a customer, should know a little about it when you buy a present for someone, and insist that the piece of jewelry you are after conforms to this standard.
Pure silver cannot be used in making jewelry as it is extremely malleable and it can suffer damage easily. It also tends to get very soft, even in conditions of normal temperature. That is why 925 silver is used and not the pure form of the precious metal.
The method craftsmen use to increase the strength of the metal consists of adding other materials to silver. The life span of the jewels made of silver depends on this process, as problems like malleability and softening can make them break apart. By combining pure silver with alloys, the craftsmen make pieces of jewelry that are more resistant to scratching and damage.
One of these combinations is the one known as 925 sterling silver. It is a blending mix obtained from 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Copper is not always used by craftsmen and it can be replaced by other metals or combinations of materials. This is considered the best choice as copper is cheap and the refining techniques have improved during the last years.
By adding copper to silver, craftsmen have managed to obtain a highly reliable alloy that is successfully used in the jewelry industry. The combination is very popular as the silver craftsmen can make earrings, rigs, bracelets and other pieces of silver jewelry, knowing that their work will be resistant and durable.
One may think that by adding other metals to pure silver, the quality becomes lower. But this is not the case with 925 silver. This alloy enhances the jewelry properties and copper is only a very small part in the combination. Sometimes, craftsmen can use a copper substitute for a similar result.
