HOW to CLEAN DIAMOND JEWELRY 2007-06-14 21:32:00 I'm often asked to advise on the best way to clean diamond jewelry. No matter how fine the cut color and clarity of your diamond, it needs a little assistance to look its best. There are lots of opinions on how to clean diamonds and what are the best solutions to clean a diamond with. The mildest and possibly the best way to clean diamonds are to use a solution of warm water and liquid dish washing detergent.Dishwashing detergent is one of the best solutions to clean a diamond with. The same solution that you used to clean your fine china and crystal will remove layers of oils mixed with plain ordinary household dirt that insinuate themselves into the openings around the setting of the diamond. It will also clean the surface or face of the diamond without scratching. The demonstrations we have seen of a diamond cutting glass stick with us but let me take this opportunity to inform you that while a diamond is a very hard substance flat, shiny surface is vulnerable to microscopic
HOW TO SELL a USED DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING for the BEST POSSIBLE PRICE 2007-06-12 10:58:00 EBay is my knee-jerk reaction when someone asks me how to sell a lightly used diamond engagement ring. Competition among eBay bidders might drive the price up for a rare, unique or unusual ring but many eBay sellers are complaining that the fees for selling anything on eBay are taking too much of a chunk out of their profits.If you want to move a ring quickly, this is excellent advice and the competition of bidders occasionally will bring higher prices. But if you are in no hurry to sell your there are some other options that might get you a few more dollars. Get a professional appraisal from a jeweler that you trust. If possible get one from a jeweler that presents the appraisal in a very professional manner and not just a hand written estimate on the shops letterhead. Presentation is everything the public is very aware that letterhead can be generated and printed on your printer and and everybody can write for gosh sakes! Your prospective customers will be much more likely to writ

My review of the Grossbardt Picasso Ring 2007-06-09 17:57:00 The Grossbardt Picasso
Ring is wonderfully crafted, the inlay is with an attention to detail, evenly and smoothly finished. The surface of the Grossbardt Picasso Ring is just whimsical for lack of a better word. The enamel work is exquisite. I understand that there are pins and other pieces by this designer. Caterpillars, pendants, bangle bracelets and various butterflies that were also fabulous will be collectibles of the future. The bangle bracelets are especially nice as they will fit a lady with a smaller wrist size.With the history and the jewelry business this designer is a designer of the first-order and I feel good about recommending Grossbardt Picasso Ring, it's truly one of a kind!And the design is an excellent tool for a conversationalist to get some dialogue started. Often the sign of a well made ring is a finish work on the inside of the band and the inside of this band is smooth just another indication of good craftsmanship. This is a very popular collection and thi Read more:review
ANTIQUE BLOODSTONE 18k GOLD RING -What you might need to know about a bloodstone gemstone 2007-06-08 16:09:00 When shopping for an antique bloodstone gold rings try to have the opportunity to inspect the bloodstone jewelry in bright light so that any microscopic scratches will be visible. It's best to inspect your bloodstone gemstone in person some flaws but not show a in a picture or photograph.One of the most desirable antique bloodstone gold rings that I've seen recently was a carved Victorian Bloodstone wax seal. This particular antique bloodstone gold ring was in an inexpensive 10k gold but I have seen beautiful gemstones and a bezel setting of the 18k gold.With a name like bloodstone you'd expect this gemstone to be a competitor and color for a Pidgin's Blood Ruby, when actually a bloodstone or heliotrope is a dark green opaque gemstones with blood red spatters. Is anyone else wondering why so many gemstone names have the word "blood" in them? The story associated with bloodstone's is that there was a gemstone of green jasper at his feet that McCain's theme with the blood of Chri

CANARY YELLOW, PINK, BLOOD RED or DIAMOND RINGS of ANY COLOR of the RAINBOW! 2007-06-06 10:00:00 No need to be stuck with boring white diamonds with blinding cut and clarity. Be cool and fashionable and color coordinate your diamond rings and other jewelry with your outfit of the day! Blue Nile has made this possible (even though its expensive) by throwing out diamonds in colors previously associated with gemstones only. Blood red diamonds? Why not just get a Pigeon's Blood Ruby that would be cheap in comparison? I see mention of yellow diamonds like that's something new, rare and unusual but isn't that what we've always called Canary diamonds? There's nothing like a real colored diamond, but if you want the look without the large investment, you can get CZ and sterling silver instead of 18k yellow gold or platinum and still be wearing styles from the stars! You can fake the celebrity look and nobody will be the wiser! Sabrina's Two Tone Canary and Diamond CZ Engagement Ring - Free Shipping!
