Caring For Cubic Zirconia Jewelry

Because cubic zirconia jewelry is designed to imitate the perfect diamond, its most important characteristic is the sparkle. If you want to keep your cubic zirconia rings, pendants, earrings and other jewelry flawless, learning how to properly care for them will go a long way in helping your jewelry to shine as brightly as the smile of those who see it.

In order to protect the brilliance of your cubic zirconia rings, remove them prior to washing your hands, applying makeup or hand lotion, washing dishes or other similar activities that may result in a cloudy film coming into contact with the cubic zirconia. In fact, jewelry should be the last accessory that you put on before walking out the door.

If you own sterling silver cubic zirconia wedding rings, perhaps you never take them off except for regular cleaning. If that’s the case, a polishing cloth or mild jewelry cleaner should be used to maintain both the silver’s brightness and that of the cubic zirconia. If you need a homemade solution, try warm water and dishwashing liquid in a cup. You can dip your cubic zirconia jewelry into the water and gently polish it using a towel or other soft material.

When cleaning your jewelry, especially cubic zirconia rings, take extra care to use a soft object for polishing to prevent scratching. If you are a wearer of cubic zirconia wedding rings, it’s especially important to remove your rings for frequent cleaning as constant wear can result in everyday particles and grime finding their way into every crevice of the ring’s design and will create a buildup that’s difficult to remove.

If you feel that your cubic zirconia jewelry, including cubic zirconia wedding rings and other designs, is in need of a professional cleaning, consult with a local jeweler.

Turquoise Jewelry

Turquoise Jewelry Is Absolutely Magnificent

Examples of turquoise jewelry have been found that date back to ancient Egyptian times. The famous burial mask of Tutankhamen as adorned with turquoise and there were many other pieces of turquoise jewelry found in his tomb. There have also been numerous pieces of Aztec turquoise jewelry that have been discovered. These ancient cultures appreciated the beauty of this blue-green mineral. Throughout history, other cultures produced turquoise jewelry and other items that incorporated turquoise. The native Indians of America have made use of this gem throughout the centuries it is still considered an essential part of their colorful heritage.

Turquoise jewelry is a wonderful gift for anyone, but it is especially appropriate for anyone born in December. This is because the gemstone for December is traditionally turquoise. It is an extremely versatile mineral and can be set into silver earrings or elaborate 24-carat gold necklaces. There are different grades of turquoise and it is possible to buy a piece of turquoise jewelry for only a few dollars. Of course, the value of a piece of turquoise jewelry depends on the quality of the stone used, the amount and also the value of any other stones that are in the piece.

As turquoise is not a naturally hard mineral. This does make it easier for the gem to be cut to fit any type of turquoise jewelry. A hardening process is used to help protect the mineral once it has been cut to the desired shape and size. The most expensive forms of turquoise are those that require the least amount of hardening treatments. This does, however make it more difficult to use them to form turquoise jewelry, as it is easier for it to break. The lower grades of turquoise require a lot of hardening and waxing before they can become pieces of turquoise jewelry and are less sought after. The color of the turquoise also has an impact on its value. If a piece of turquoise jewelry comprises a piece of sky blue turquoise then its value is going to be far higher than a piece that utilizes greenish-blue and speckled turquoise.

Due to the fragility of turquoise, special care needs to be taken when wearing a piece of turquoise jewelry. It is also extremely vulnerable to damage from solvents as it is a phosphate mineral. Special care needs to be taken to avoid any turquoise jewelry coming into contact with perfume, skin oils and chemical cleaning fluids. All of these can cause deterioration of the color and shine of the turquoise. Perfume, cosmetics, sunscreen, and hairspray need to be applied before you put on a piece of turquoise jewelry to lessen the potential damage that may be caused to the gemstone. Direct sunlight can have an extremely detrimental effect on turquoise as it causes it to fade and dry out which makes it more brittle and easier to break. Always clean turquoise jewelry with a soft cloth to remove any build-up and store in a separate box from harder gemstones to prevent scratching.

Conflict-Free Logo Shows Jewelers' Commitment to Stop the Conflict Diamond Trade

Jewelers and online jewelry stores have a new badge of honor adorning their websites. A new “conflict-free logo” provided by StopBloodDiamonds organization is the new badge of honor used by jewelers all over the globe to show their commitment in helping stop the flow of conflict diamonds. The new logo cannot be used just by anybody but is available for use only by members of the said website.

To be a member of StopBloodDiamonds.com jewelers and jewelry stores need only to sign up with the website. There is no joining fee but applicants need to agree to the policies set by the website regarding the non-participation in the trade of questionable diamonds before they can be approved as members. The website not only expects its members to never buy and sell conflict diamonds but to also help in creating awareness about the issue. After a jeweler or jewelry store has become a member, StopBloodDiamonds organization then lets the new member display the conflict-free logo on its website or homepage. The conflict-free logo serves a signal to all consumers and visitors of the website that the online jewelry store does not engage in the buying and selling of conflict diamonds and that it is committed to help stop the illicit trade.

Conflict diamonds are diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments, and are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the Security Council.

A well-structured 'Certificate of Origin' regime can be an effective way of ensuring that only legitimate diamonds -- that is, those from government-controlled areas -- reach market. Additional controls by Member States and the diamond industry are needed to ensure that such a regime is effective. These measures might include the standardization of the certificate among diamond exporting countries, transparency, auditing and monitoring of the regime and new legislation against those who fail to comply.

The new step is simple. It only requires jewelers and jewelry store owners to sign up for membership at the Stop Blood Diamonds website. Membership is free but as mentioned earlier requires members to adopt the site’s policies against conflict diamond trade as part of their store policy. After jewelers and store owners have signed up, they then have the privilege of putting up a Stop Blood Diamonds Conflict Free logo on their websites. The easily identifiable logo will be an effective means for consumers to determine that website’s policies regarding conflict diamonds without having to search through it just to look for a written policy. This will also ease the minds of potential buyers who are becoming increasingly aware and educated about this extremely immoral trade practice.

For those interested in knowing more about acquiring the logo for their site you can visit StopBloodDiamonds and read more about the policies your store need to adopt to be able to join. Costumers can also visit the website to know more about conflict diamonds and what the diamond industry is doing regarding the issue.

Celebrity Inspired Jewelry Get The Look For Less

These days, everyone wants the red carpet look without the million dollar price tag. If this sounds too good to be true, think again. Thanks to celebrity inspired jewelry, it’s now possible for anyone to own the best on a budget.

The craze with celebrity inspired jewelry first began with the diamond engagement ring given by Ben Affleck to Jennifer Lopez. A large emerald-cut pink diamond takes center stage as the main focal point of this beauty. One each side, white baguette diamonds proudly accentuate the enormous center stone. Fans fell in love with this ring around the world, which lead to the demand for designers to recreate the ring in a look that anyone could afford. The result was a sterling silver creation featuring a large emerald-cut pink cubic zirconia center stone, which is accented by white baguette cubic zirconia on each side.

It wasn’t long before the trend of wearing celebrity inspired engagement rings became the next big thing in fashion jewelry. When Nick Lachey proposed to Jessica Simpson, a beautiful pear-cut diamond ring came into style in a big way. This bold beauty dazzled the media and fans alike. With one diamond located on each side of the stunning pear-cut center stone, Simpson’s new ring was as bright as the spotlight itself. Once again, designers came through with a creation that everyone could afford. A bold sterling silver band with a large white cubic zirconia pear-cut center stone, which is accented by white cubic zirconia on each side, began showing up on jewelry lovers around the globe.

When it came to trends, Lachey and Simpson weren’t the only musical duo making their way into the line of celebrity inspired jewelry. Kevin Federline gave Britney Spears a stunning ring featuring a cushion-cut center diamond sitting atop a double row of connected diamond-encrusted bands. The inspired design was recreated in sterling silver and glistening white cubic zirconia. The cushion-cut center stone, which replicates a flawless diamond, sits boldly above a double band of cubic zirconia accents.

What line of celebrity inspired jewelry would be complete without a dazzling pair of earrings? As far as trend setters go, Oprah Winfrey is one of the best. Not only has she made a name for herself in the media, but also for her fantastic fashion sense. Oprah’s famous pear drop diamond earrings won her fans over in a flash. The design features a round white diamond stud and a large pear-cut diamond dangling below. In an effort to recreate this stunning design, jewelry manufacturers released their own version done in affordable sterling silver. Like Oprah’s authentic diamonds, the inspired earring features a round white cubic zirconia stud and a dramatic pear shaped cubic zirconia dangling below. Because the earring is available in cubic zirconia and sterling silver, fans can have the look of the real diamond earring for a lot less cash.

When it comes to red carpet wear, the styles are both dramatic and unique. Any woman who watches the annual award shows will probably agree that seeing the glamorous jewelry is one of the most interesting aspects of the red carpet arrivals. Not many can afford a million dollar ring or necklace, but most could afford that look if it were created in sterling silver and cubic zirconia. Thanks to celebrity designers, including Nolan Miller and Charles Winston, many of today’s most expensive looks can be worn by those who only watch the red carpet from afar as opposed to actually walking on it.

How to Find a Real Diamond

Diamonds are costly treasures. The majority of people in the market for one are looking for a good stone that is still a bargain. These days’ shoppers often look to online auctions, estate sales, and online jewelers. For the most part all these options are honest businesses, but we still might worry about the diamond’s authenticity.

This is a valid question with so many manmade stones now on the market. Most of them look like the real thing. Let’s face it, most of us can’t tell the difference, unless the stone is cut glass or crystals, or some of the colorless gemstones. Those made from cubic zirconium or Moissanite, using the latest technology, are harder to spot as fakes.

Ideally, you should have any diamond checked out by a legitimate jeweler or certified diamond cutter. It’s hard to do that when you’re buying from an online auction site but it’s worth it to find a way. You could lose a lot of money and be dreadfully disappointed if you learn you bought a fake. There are some things to do if you think you’re being shown a cubic zirconium.

One good test is simply to breathe on the gem. If it’s a cubic zirconium, then the fog will stay on it for a while. If it’s truly a diamond, it will clear up right away. Another method is to try writing on it with an ink pen. Ink balls up on a cubic zirconium and makes a line on a diamond. One more thing to try is to turn the stone over and try reading a newspaper through the back. If you can easily make out the print, then you probably are holding an imitation. This wouldn’t be true however, with a real diamond that was cut shallowly.

Another test is to check the weight. A cubic zirconia stone will weigh 55% more on average than a real diamond. If you have a similar size and shape diamond or have a gram or carat scale, the stone’s weight can be compared to help you determine – real or fake. Many real diamonds have fluorescence blue when placed under a black light but 99% of the manmade diamonds do not. Therefore, try holding the stone under the black light, looking for a medium to strong appearance of blue. If you see this, then the stone is real. While this will tell you if the diamond is real, keep in mind that the bluer the color, the lower quality the diamond.

You can also place the stone under a magnifying glass. Look at the facets from the top and see how they are joined. In real diamonds the facets have sharp rather than rolled edges. The girdles should be faceted or frosty, rather than clear looking. If they are too resinous or slippery, you know the stone is not a real diamond. These tips should help you make sure you get your money’s worth when you buy a diamond.

From Silverware To Jewelry

DO YOU HAVE HEIRLOOM SILVERWARE THAT’S HIDDEN AND NOT APPRECIATED?

Did mom or grandma pass down her old silverware and it’s stuck in a drawer, closet or attic just waiting to be discovered and used again? Do something with that beautiful flatware, that not only will you appreciate but so will those that see your creation. These handcrafted pieces can make great gifts for family members, not only to wear and enjoy, but to pass down to their children. Sure, that silverware is tarnished, you might even say hopeless, but that’s where the fun begins.

That silverware can be handcrafted into jewelry that will receive compliments that you would never have believed. The jewelry created can range in style from rugged to elegant. Some patterns in silverware are very ornate and make beautiful necklaces, rings or bracelets. The spoon ends can be pounded into a rugged looking pendant for a necklace that works also for the guys when you put that pendant on a heavy leather or hemp cord, You’ll be amazed. Beading can be added for women on either the rugged or classy look and be color coordinated for a great look. You might ask, “How do I turn my flatware into a beautiful piece of jewelry”? Well, let’s see what we can do with your flatware. If your silverware has a wide handle and is very ornate, it can be made into a beautiful pendant for a necklace or a bracelet. If you like a wide ring, that might also be a possibility. If your pieces are narrow with a beautiful design, a ring or bracelet might be the most desirable. Let’s start with a pendant to make that beautiful necklace.

NECKLACE -

1. Buff the handle on a buff wheel. You can get a buff wheel and buffing compound at a local hardware store. Put your buff wheel on your bench grinder and buff away being very careful not to catch the edge of the handle on the wheel. If your silverware is only lightly tarnished, you could just use a cleaning compound. Don’t use any kind of a stripper to remove the darkness down in the crevices of the piece or you’ll lose the character and beauty of the piece.

2. Cut the piece approximately 5/8” longer than needed, that extra length will make the loop that your leather rope will go through to hang the pendant when finished. Now grind that extra length to an even thickness, approximately 1/16” thick, so it will bend easily to form the loop. If it is too wide you can grind some off of the width before you bend the loop. With a fine file, smooth the edges of the ground metal so that it will not mar the leather and will slide easily on the cord.

3. With a set of jewelry pliers with round jaws, bend the complete loop to a size that is bigger than the cord that you will be putting it on. Give the piece a final polishing and it is now ready to put on the cord. You can add beading of your choice or just leave it as is, and you now have a very unique and beautiful necklace.

You can find leather cord and ends, lobster claw clasps, chain and beading at most hobby and craft stores.

RING-

1. Start by buffing the piece of silverware. Now let’s cut the piece to the proper length. A ring sizer, a tapered metal rod with size markings up the side, is very handy to do this task. You can determine your ring size by using a ring that fits you and placing it on the rod. Take your piece of silverware, and at the size you want, put the tip of the piece on the rod and roll the rod one full revolution with the silverware moving but not slipping on the rod. Add ¼” and that will be the length you need for your ring. Cut the piece in two at that point.

2. Grind the bottom side of the piece to an even thickness and a slow taper to the cut end. The thinner the piece is the easier it will be to bend on the metal rod. File the edges of the ground area to a smooth, rounded finish and you are now ready to bend it.

3. A ½” to ¾” wide, 4” long piece of fiber (which is what I use) or a hard wood, such as maple, with a ¾” half moon cut out in the side is good to use to pound the piece into the circle that we want to achieve. With the rod positioned securely in a vice or cradled in a wooden jig, place the piece of silverware over the rod with the half-moon cutout directly over the rod on top of the piece and pound with a hammer. Work your way the length of the piece and it will begin taking shape. You can use a pair of adjustable pliers with leather over the jaws and taped in place to help bend the piece, never use metal tools directly against the silverware as it will scratch or mar the surface. Keep working the metal until you have a true circle and it is the size you want.

4. Now try it on for size, if it fits the way you want give it a final polishing and wear it with pride.

BRACELET-

1. Start by the usual buffing on two of the pieces. If you have a bracelet that fits well, especially if it has a chain on one side and a lobster claw clasp on the other, that will give you a good idea of the shape and length you want to achieve in your creation.

2. I use a 1 ¼” PVC pipe T to bend my silverware on. You can hold the piece with your pliers and bend into a circle or make a clamp on the PVC with a flat piece of steel that’s covered on the clamp side with leather and bolted onto the PVC. Once you have the piece held in place, bend it until you get the shape you want. Bend the second piece the same way.

3. Cut the pieces to the length you want and file to a smooth finish. Drill a 1/16” hole in each end of the two pieces to accommodate the jump rings and smooth the edges of the holes. Use a large jump ring to join the two pieces together. At this point, try the pieces on your wrist and see how they fit. If further adjustment is needed, use your adjustable pliers to get the exact shape you want. At the other ends, you can use a split ring to join the lobster claw clasp to one end and to join a 1” chain to the other. Give it a final polishing and wear with a smile. I hope you have a great time with this project!

A FEW SAFETY TIPS!

1. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN GRINDING!

2. DIP SILVERWARE IN A CUP OF WATER WHEN IT GETS HOT FROM GRINDING OR BUFFING!

3. BUFF THE PIECE VERTICALLY WITH THE LENGTH OF THE PIECE. IF BUFFING ACROSS THE PIECE, DON’T LET THE LEADING EDGE OF THE PIECE TOUCH THE BUFF WHEEL OR IT CAN GRAB AND THROW THE PIECE!

Pearl Jewelry In The Rough

Pearl jewelry has been an important part of ornamental jewelry for a long time. It helps to add that stylish look to a person’s identity while also maintaining that traditional look at the same time.

In the earlier days, pearl jewelry was affordable only to the some of the richest people in the world. However, the prices have come down so dramatically these days that even the common man can afford to buy a pearl necklace today.

Pearls hold an important place in the mythology of some cultures of the world. The Chinese and Romans held the pearls in high value. For the Chinese, a pearl was a result of a fight between dragons and for the Romans, a way to placate goddess Isis.

In spite of all these beliefs, a pearl has its origin only in an oyster. A pearl is created in an oyster if a substance like a piece of sand or part of a shell gets trapped inside the oyster. This foreign object is covered with nacre by the oyster and over time gets shaped into a pearl. However, all oysters do not form pearls only a select few of them form into pears.

Some years earlier, pearls were created only by this natural process at the bottom of the ocean. But these days, increase in artificial production through pearl farms has brought down the prices of pearls significantly. China and Japan are the two countries leading in the area of artificial pearl production. In these countries, a pearl shell is placed in the oyster to start production of the new pearl.

Certain precautions are to be taken to ensure the longevity of your pearl jewelry. The following information is a listing of precautions.

•As these are very fragile, they should not be subjected to excessive wear and tear.
•They should not be brought into contact with the chemicals used for make up.
•They should be kept away from the contact of water.
•They are liable to appearance of scratches easily. So they must be kept separate from other jewelry.
•They should be cleaned only with a soft cloth.

Exposing pearls to sunlight can dry them out and make them lose their shine. However, the good thing about pearls is that by just wearing them, the moisture in them can be renewed from your body’s natural oils. So pearls are worth your investment and can really make you look graceful on exclusive occasions.

Diamond cut and light performance

Before you start diamond shopping, you need to have a prior understanding of what you're buying. It's quite common to confuse a diamond's cut with its existing shape. The cut actually describes a diamond's light performance, dimensions and finish. With the below given information you can understand the process of cutting a diamond and choosing them with light performance.

Cutting Process

The process of cutting or shaping a rough diamond into a polished gemstone is a task of both an art and a science. The choice of cutting a diamond is often decided by the original shape of the rough stone, location of the inclusions and errors to be eliminated, and preservation of the weight, some popularity of shapes amongst consumers and with many other considerations. The round brilliant cut is normally preferred when the crystal is an octahedron, as often two stones might be cut from one of such crystal. Oddly shaped crystals such as macles are preferred to be cut in a fancy way that is a cut other than the round radiant.

With the modern techniques, the cutting and polishing of a diamond crystal mostly results in a dramatic weight loss in diamond; rarely is it less than 50%. Sometimes it is possible that the cutters compromise and accept lesser proportions and symmetry in order to avoid inclusions or may be to preserve the carat rating. Since per carat price of diamond shifts around key milestones (such as 1.00 carat), numerous one-carat diamonds are the result of negotiation "Cut" for "Carat." Some jewelry experts do advise consumers to buy a 0.99 carat diamond for its better price or to buy a 1.10 carat diamond for its fine cut.

Light Performance

Diamond’s beauty is recognized by the way it shines, sparkles, and the light it produces. Logically having accurate quantitative and qualitative analysis of the light being returned by a diamond could certainly be very helpful in determining its beauty and evaluating its cut quality.

The light performance concept was initially introduced by GemEx in 1998, and then AGS introduced their version in 2005 and GIA introduced their version this 2006. Light performance deals with the amount of light produced what kind of light and the origin of light emitted or reflected by a diamond source.

To understand and measure the light dynamics performance and behavior of a diamond is certainly a historic and probably the most significant event in modern diamond history, which would affect how a diamond should be cut to maximize beauty. Prior to this time there was actually no technologies or protocol, which might relate a diamond’s actual light performance with the proportions and angles it was cut. Much of the idea on how much brilliance a round diamond can be produced was based on theory not by measurement.

As we know cut describes a diamond's light performance, dimensions and finish. Shape refers to the overall and real outline of the diamond when viewed from the top. Since all diamond shapes are very different, unique characteristics determine excellence for each shape be careful while choosing the most beautiful diamond for you.

Wedding ring sets United we stand

Wedding ring sets are integration of both engagement and wedding ring in a similar design, complimenting one another. It is suitable for women who hate wearing more than one ring, or for couples who have budget constraints. It is actually called ‘wedding set’ and is designed to be worn together, and these rings cannot be worn separately as they are soldered to be worn
together for a seamless and permanent fit, hence they are inseparable. Wedding ring sets symbolizes the deep and intertwined relationship they share without discriminating each other and giving each other the same status in the society. The wedding set is a perfect complement to a romantic relationship; many couples choose rings set which symbolizes their closeness
and togetherness in harmony and passion with matching designs and settings.

A united wedding ring set is an elaborate designed pair; the pair should have a co-ordination wrap to each of the ring. Yellow gold is the most commonly used in the wedding ring set, but one can also use the combination of yellow as well as white gold to give a striking look to the wedding ring set. Wedding ring sets are mostly designed with intricacy and delicate detailing since they are surrounded with multiple small stones in a pattern with a large stone in centre.

Men’s Wedding Ring Bold And Daring Love

Wedding ring is meant to be worn for lifetime, so men prefer comfort while
choosing their diamond wedding ring. They give comfort more preference than
style and design; generally, wedding rings for men are simpler than women’s
rings, though there are still a wide variety of styles available to match
different individual preferences. Rings may be personalized for additional
symbolism with interior or exterior engravings or elaborate details such as
Celtic knots or geometric patterns. Men’s wedding bands also vary by width,
metal, and gemstone use.

The groom wears a diamond band to glorify their true commitment to their
bride, men prefers to wear a ring that is unique and stands out from the
rest, makes the right statement of who they are, which speaks a lot about
his personality. Fashion conscious bold men tend to wear zodiac wedding
bands, which is strange and unique enough to make heads turn and give it a
second look. Even though it doesn’t gel well within a marriage ceremony,
grooms who want to make their wedding ceremony unique with panache wear it
with great pride on their wedding day, as long as it works well for the
couple.

The most popular men’s wedding ring are plain metal bands, with an element
of design one can chose a ring with a subtle design like migraine or a
masculine braid, which features a braid design with a round and soft edge
for comfort. It is well said that a groom only wears a wedding ring to make
his marriage a public statement, and wear it because he feels it’s his duty
to wear since he is married and committed.
