		<description><![CDATA[Engagement rings are a symbol of a promise and a commitment for the future. They are highly romanticized and something that girls fantasize about, probably starting about the time they first notice boys. They will most likely change their mind more than several times, both about the boy they envision giving them the ring and about what the ring that symbolizes their engagement will look like.

Engagement fantasies are just that - fantasies; I can assure you that they are not thinking along the lines of what a discount ring, or even an affordable ring will look like. As they get older, their character and values will determine whether their fantasies are more towards marrying for love, or for status. It is a horrifying thought to know that the majority of marriages are somewhat of a business decision. I guess that would apply as well then, to the engagement.

		<description><![CDATA[The existence of the diamond has positively impacted our society, along with others for ages. Diamond jewelry began as a luxury for many wealthy and other well to do individuals; however, in recent times the diamond has become more common in jewelry for all individuals. 

The most popular form of diamond jewelry is that of an engagement ring. With millions of couples getting engaged or married each year, many diamond engagement or wedding rings will be purchased. There are many individuals who are unsure where an item came from or how it is made. Since diamonds do not magically appear in jewelry, workers are needed for this careful process.

		<description><![CDATA[A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion for many people, although for an increasing number of persons, it has become a several-in-a-lifetime event. In any case, it is still a very special ceremony that binds not only a man and a woman together; today, gay male couples and gay women couples also observe the ceremony to affirm their lifelong commitment to each other. In such ceremonies, the gay wedding ring takes center stage.

Same-sex marriage is still illegal in the majority of U.S. states and in countries all over the world, so what gay couples opt for is to participate in a “commitment ceremony,” where the exchange of gay wedding rings also takes place. A gay wedding ring most often resembles the traditional gold or platinum wedding band. Of course, the couples are free to have the designs or the metal they wish for their gay wedding ring. Gay-related symbols are often engraved on the rings, and various textures and effects are available as well. Irish and Scottish rings, multicolored rings, woven rings – a wealth of options is available.

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to diamonds, there are numerous scams to avoid. Most scams are minor, but there are some major ones that come up from time to time concerning the buying and selling of diamonds. Scams occur simply because most people who buy diamonds – for whatever reasons – don’t know that much about diamonds. Therefore, they are easily fooled.

Jewelry stores like to show their diamonds in bright lights. Lights make diamonds shine. Ask to see the diamond in a different, darker type of lighting as well. Jewelry also stores often run ‘fluorescence’ scams to varying degrees. Referring to a diamond as a blue-white diamond is such a scam. A blue-white diamond sounds very unique and special, but in fact, this type of diamond is of lesser quality – even though the jeweler will try to make you think you are getting something special.  On line dealers will often simply alter the images.  Remember the quality of the photography work and post-photography "photo touching" can greatly alter the presentation of the piece.

A common scam that most jewelry stores participate in is the Carat Total Weight scam. The tag on the piece of jewelry, usually a ring, only states the total carat weight of all diamonds in the piece, instead of listing the total weights separately for each diamond. This leads consumers to believe that the main diamond in the piece is actually bigger than it is. Ask what the total carat weight of the center stone is. Also beware of fractions. Jewelry stores are allowed to round off diamond weights. This means that if the jeweler tells you that it is a ¾ carat diamond, it is probably between ½ and ¾ carat – but closer to ¾.

Some truly unscrupulous jewelers target those who want appraisals on diamonds that were given to them as gifts or that were purchased elsewhere. They will try to tell you that the diamond is worthless, or worth less than it actually is worth – and offer to take it off your hands or trade it for a much better diamond, along with the cash to make up the difference. This is called low balling. Get a second, third, and even a forth opinion before taking any action.

Another common dirty trick is to switch the diamond you have chosen and paid for with one of lesser quality and value when you leave it to be set in a piece of jewelry, or leave a diamond ring to be sized. The only way to avoid this is to do business with one trustworthy jeweler. Avoid jewelers that you have not done business with in the past.

There are many more scams that jewelry stores commonly pull on unsuspecting consumers (click READ MORE below).  Our best suggestion is to your homework and research both online and in brick and mortar stores.  We here at The Modern Jeweler believe that most often your BEST value will come from reputable jewelers that have both a solid on-line presence with an up-to-date look and feel, as well as a high-quality, elegant brick and mortar store.  Regardless, just use your best judgment, and purchase your diamonds with the utmost care and consideration.

		<description><![CDATA[As if their millions of fans collectively willed it — the blistering-hot young actors are truly, madly, deeply in love. So much so that they’re spending nights together in Rob’s suite at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Center. And things have gotten so serious that on-set sources say the young superstars are even playing up their romance on set.

It is set to be the “Wedding of the Year”. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be exchanging wedding rings. And a cast of hundreds are working hard, around the clock, to finalize all of the details.  The even will more than likely be flooded with the most amazing jewelry featuring diamonds, pearls, rubies, emeralds and sapphires.  Oh and lets definitely not forget the sheer tonnage of gold jewelry that will also be on display.

But before teenage girls have a collective meltdown, this is the wedding between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. As yet, the young stars have not made public any plans to marry in real life. Nonetheless, designers ranging from Monique Lhullier to Christian Siriano have sent in designs, hoping theirs is chosen as the perfect dress and fine jewelry for one of the most anticipated weddings of a human lifetime.

		<description><![CDATA[Around 1900, French scientist Henri Moissan (mwah-SAHN) identified a new mineral from a meteorite that fell about 50,000 years ago in what is now the desert of northern Arizona. That mineral was later named moissanite in his honor. (The American pronunciation is MOYSS-uh-nite.)

Although the natural form of moissanite is extremely rare, the man-made version – known as silicon carbide – has become one of the world’s most important abrasives. Most silicon carbide consists of tiny particles, but in the 1980s researchers found ways to grow large crystals for high-performance electronics equipment. While those early crystals were green, further refinements in the 1990s produced near-colorless material. This had the beauty and durability to qualify it as a remarkable new laboratory-created gem. Since then, moissanite jewelry (moissanite rings, moissanite stud earrings and moissanite engagement rings) has become a popular category in many jewelry and department stores.

		<description><![CDATA[Diamonds are known for their sparkle and brilliance making them popular in jewelry as their shine is unmatched by any other gemstone.  Symbolizing eternal love, diamonds are popular in engagement rings and wedding jewelry. Because of their hardness, diamonds are also used to cut and wear away other substances and are used for industrial purposes in drills, saws and engraving tools.
