Ruby Diamonds

Celebrating your wedding anniversary, whether in a traditional or modern fashion, should be romantic. Not only are wedding anniversaries important milestones in your relationship, they are also a chance to show your thoughtfulness towards your spouse. Traditionally, each anniversary has been associated with a specific gift, theme, flower, gemstone, or other symbolism. Currently, anniversary gifts tend to be special each year, but particularly nice on significant years, such as the five-year or ten-year anniversary.

In the modernized version, the tenth anniversary is the diamond anniversary, which makes the ideal gift a straightforward option.

Your five-year anniversary is the next major landmark in your marriage after your first anniversary. A diamond ring would be an especially considerate gift, especially due to the growing regard for five-stone diamond rings. The five diamonds represent each year of marriage and the ring itself symbolizes your bond and dedication to each other.

The five-year flower is the daisy, the color is pink, and the traditional gemstone that corresponds to the fifth anniversary is the sapphire, so a five stone ring or eternity ring incorporating blue, pink, or yellow sapphires into the design is also an especially thoughtful five year anniversary gift. Traditionally, the daffodil and the color blue are also associated with the 10-year anniversary, so a five stone ring with a yellow diamond or a diamond and blue sapphire eternity ring is a lovely and symbolic gift for this occasion.

The way a gift is presented, especially on an important day like one's fifth or tenth anniversary, can be just as important as the gift itself. Again, we can look to the history of anniversary symbolism for ideas; port wine is associated with both years, so perhaps a picnic with gourmet cheese and wine or enjoying some port during a romantic dinner at an upscale restaurant would be a good setting for presenting your 10 year or 5 year anniversary gift.

In the end, of course, it doesn't matter how traditional or trendy your gifts and celebrations are; if your jewelry and other gifts are chosen with love and attention to detail, your anniversary will be as joyful as your wedding day.

With an approximate rarity of five times that of gold and a timeless beauty, it's easy to see why platinum is the most valuable metal in the world, and the elite material when it comes to creating and wearing fine jewelry. Long ago, when platinum was first discovered, the miners who found it in search of silver mistakenly considered it an inferior form of the metal they sought and named it "platina": a diminutive of the Spanish word for "silver". This error was soon disproven, however, and platinum has since gone on to become the prized and beloved material it is today.

Platinum contains a certain amount of other materials naturally, but for a piece to be considered platinum it must be refined to a purity of 90% or better. As one might imagine, with such a valuable metal as platinum, the standards for determining what can be credibly sold and advertised as platinum jewelry are very strict. A piece at this level would be stamped as 900 platinum; higher quality pieces, like most of the items sold here, are stamped "950 Plat", which indicates that the mix is 95% pure platinum.

Platinum comes by its pale white color naturally and will never lose its brightness or become discolored; contrast this with white gold, which is simply natural yellow gold mixed with lightening metals and plated in rhodium, which will wear off to make the gold appear yellowish.

Platinum does not tarnish, but will develop a patina over time which many feel actually improves the appearance of their platinum jewelry. Platinum is also a denser metal than most used in jewelry, which makes it stronger and accounts for the substantially heavier feel of a platinum piece. This superior strength also ensures that, while the shank of gold ring will wear away and thin out over time, platinum will hold its structure.

To properly care for your platinum jewelry, it's best to follow the same general guideline for cleaning gold jewelry: don't risk damaging or ruining your jewelry with a randomly-purchased jewelry cleaner or other harsh chemicals. Use liquid soap and a soft cloth for home cleaning, and when in doubt have the cleaning done professionally.

Your wedding anniversary is a special occasion every year, but certain years are meaningful milestone anniversaries as well. In the past, every anniversary year up to 100 had a specific gift, theme, flower, gemstone, and other symbolism attached to it, but these days we tend to concentrate on getting a nice gift each year and perhaps doing something extra special for the major ones.

In the modernized version, the tenth anniversary is the diamond anniversary, which makes the ideal gift a straightforward option.

The 5 year anniversary isn't quite as clear cut, but there are still plenty of new and old symbols to make it special; for example, giving five-stone diamond rings has become a very popular five year anniversary gift.

Along with the diamond, the daffodil and the color blue are associated with the tenth anniversary, so a diamond and blue or yellow sapphire ring is an excellent, meaningful anniversary gift. When it comes to the five year, the gemstone connected with this anniversary is the sapphire, it's color is pink, and its flowers is the daisy. This gives you a lot of options in choosing the perfect piece of jewelry as blue, pink, or yellow sapphires alongside diamonds in a five stone or eternity ring would be an appropriate choice with a nod to these traditions.

Setting the right scene to unveil your ten or five year anniversary gift also plays a role. Wine, especially port, has a history in anniversary symbolism, as does mead, so dinner or tapas paired with one of these will set a perfect romantic mood.

In the end, of course, it doesn't matter how traditional or trendy your gifts and celebrations are; if your jewelry and other gifts are chosen with love and attention to detail, your anniversary will be as joyful as your wedding day.

Learning about diamonds can be confusing for consumers new to jewelry shopping. A helpful way to learn the basics is this guide to the basics of diamond quality.

Crucial information makes these pages worth a look for more experienced shoppers as well. Most retailers will have a good quality page of this type, and it's a good idea to check it out to learn all about the 4 Cs, just to brush up on the differences between diamond clarity grades, and see what diamond-related knowledge they bring to the table.

Diamond grading, which includes the evaluation of different attributes known commonly as "the four Cs", is a set of criteria by which the value and quality of diamonds are measured.

Cut is the most important of these factors, as proper cutting of a diamond is essential in bringing out the sparkle and fire that made this gem famous. Cut is often confused with shape, the form into which the diamond is cut.

The next, color, is one of the more detectable features of diamonds for non-jewelers to observe, although it is difficult for even the most skilled eye to distinguish between loose diamonds fewer than two color grades apart, or three grades apart for a stone that has been set. This is why diamond colors are often given as ranges.

Clarity is the next step of the four Cs, which measures a diamonds internal and external flaws. Flawless and near flawless diamonds are the best quality, but it takes several grades down from that level for inclusions to be visible to the naked eye, so some of these mid-grade diamonds are a great deal!

Carat weight, the last of the four Cs and the trait that almost anyone can spot immediately, is the unit of measure applied to diamonds and other gems. While searching for the right piece of diamond jewelry, you may have noticed that pricing for diamonds of comparable cut, color and clarity grades increases exponentially rather than proportionally with the carat weight of the diamond. This is because finding large, good quality diamonds is less likely than finding small diamonds suitable for jewelry, or large diamonds that need bad areas cut away to form multiple smaller gems, so the value of a gem increases as the supply of gems like it decreases.

The Mother's Day holiday is quite familiar to many people, maybe most people, as a day of celebrating love and appreciation for moms everywhere. More and more commonly this also means honoring the people in our lives that have been like mothers to us as well. Mother's Day is celebrated at different times from culture to culture for a number of reasons; here is an overview of some of those dates and their history.

Present-day celebrations in the U.S. and many other countries are directly traced back to the 1870s when an essay by Julia Ward Howe was published, and later when Anna Jarvis promoted setting an official holiday in the early 1900s. However, the roots of the modern Mother's Day may lie in the society of the ancient Greeks. They held a festival honoring mother goddesses, and human mothers by extension, every year around the vernal equinox. This practice was continued later by the Romans.

In the United Kingdom, the date on which Mother's Day is celebrated each year is related to the timing of Lent, whereas Canada and the United States always celebrate on the second Sunday of May. The second Sunday of May is, in fact, the choice of 82 different countries on six continents. Overall, May is by far the most popular month in which to set Mother's Day, with 104 countries choosing to celebrate sometime during the fifth month.

Other nations, like Bulgaria and Ukraine, celebrate it on March 8th in conjunction with International Women's Day. Still others including Egypt observe Mother's Day on March 21, the vernal equinox where winter turns to spring; this is perhaps a throwback to the original celebrations so many centuries ago. Similarly, other dates are often chosen to coincide with the local culture's established celebrations of mothers, much like many other holidays.

Modern Mother's Days are big gift-giving occasions, and sometimes it can feel like a lot of pressure to come up with the perfect gift. Jewelry is always a safe bet, and there are many options of special mother's rings and other mother's jewelry available, which is customized with the birthstone of each child.

When it comes to eternity rings, there is one variation; whether you have a full circle of gems or a half circle of gems; and that is totally personal preference as well as being a price consideration.

Ordering the right size is the most important decision you have to make. Full eternity bands can be very difficult to resize as the proportions of the gems and carat weight have to balance to form the circle of gems properly. You can get around this problem by either buying a ring with a discounted re-manufacturing plan, or choose a half or partial eternity style that leaves a portion of plain metal in the underside of the band.

The stones shape and size is another variation of this ring. The most popular shapes are round, emerald cut and princess cut. Most times those different shapes are not combined, but anything is possible if desired. But be aware that for the sake of comfort, full circle Eternity Rings should use smaller stones. This also includes Diamond Eternity Rings.

A shared prong, round brilliant cut diamond eternity ring is available in a variety of diamond sizes, diamond quality grades and precious metal settings-- all factors that directly affect the diamond eternity band ring's value and pricing. A eternity diamond ring with a shared prong setting simply means that two diamonds side by side share two prongs, which uses less metal and also allows more light to shine through the diamonds for maximum sparkle.

another popular choice is eternity engagement ring styles with round brilliant cut diamonds in a channel setting. For a channel set eternity ring, the diamonds are set flush side by side between either two strips of gold or platinum. An eternity band ring in this style offers excellent protection against any snagging on clothing or hair and is a very distinctive, contemporary looking ring.
