Many people often ask how to clean their diamond jewelry so that it is brilliant and full of fire. Diamonds attract grease and dirt like a magnet. Lotions, creams, hairspray, makeup and perfume form a film over your diamonds over time and make them look dull and lifeless.
After years of experience, we have found that the following method is one of the surest ways to keep your diamonds clean and brilliant if cleaning at home. It is a simple yet effective method that takes no more than fifteen to twenty minutes of your time. This method is not advisable for Pearl or Emerald jewelry or for any gemstone jewelry that has been enhanced.
1. Mix one part Mr. Clean (available at most major supermarkets) to eight parts of hot water. (Water does not need to be boiling hot).
2. Carefully soak your diamond jewelry for a short period of time in this solution - approximately 10 - 15 minutes is usually enough. (Reminder: Please do not put pearl jewelry or emerald jewelry into this solution - pearls are too soft and some emeralds may discolor).
3. Remove all your diamond jewelry slowly and gently brush off residue and dirt with a SOFT bristle toothbrush.
4. Rinse well with water, set jewelry aside to let air dry. You now have diamond jewelry that sparkles and is full of fire and brilliance.

With historic highs in precious metals effecting the price of fine jewelry, particularly gold and platinum, many jewelry stores are seeing a greater demand for alternative metals such as titanium and tungsten rings. The market for men’s wedding bands has exploded for many retailers specializing in these contemporary metals. Titanium and tungsten carbide rings have been reported to represent the fastest growing sector of metals in relation to jewelry designs.
Gold is now over $900 per ounce and platinum is an astounding high of $2,000 per ounce. With prices like this, many couples today cannot afford or simply don’t wish to spend that kind of money on a wedding ring. In comparison, titanium rings, tungsten rings, and other contemporary metals used for men’s wedding bands cost significantly less, all the while posing a leading edge in terms of quality and durability. Both titanium and tungsten are known for their extreme durability, sheen and scratch resistant qualities.
Very few jewelers have understood and supported the market for titanium and tungsten rings. Those that have stood by and passionately promoted titanium and tungsten jewelry are now seeing other retailers jump on the bandwagon. According to one retailer, Titanium-jewelry.com, who has been a long time provider of titanium and tungsten jewelry, “there is a definite shift occurring among mens wedding bands, where demand for titanium wedding bands is opening the doors to retailers who otherwise dismissed the idea as anything more than a fad.” Not too long ago, it was rare that a retailer carried contemporary metal jewelry designs. Often pushing platinum and white gold, many of these jewelry stores stuck up their noses at these contemporary metals have now been forced to reevaluate their inventory as throngs of customers aren’t just inquiring, but demanding wedding rings made from these metals.
Wedding bands made of Titanium, Black Titanium and Tungsten Carbide becoming more popular than ever. The new generation of grooms, either fist timers or serial-wedders are increasingly turning to titanium rings and men’s wedding bands made of Tungsten Carbide or Black Titanium. Many have said that you just can’t beat the price, quality or look that tungsten rings or titanium wedding bands provide.
It’s no new revelation that titanium rings are considered an alternative to gold and platinum. Either because of the hypoallergenic qualities, literally scratch resistant benefits or the always polished look, tungsten and titanium rings have shifted from being an alternative choice to the preferred choice among young, active grooms. These contemporary metals have always had the added benefit of competitive pricing, especially in comparison to more traditional metals. But the last year has seen an explosion in the costs of gold and platinum - which is great if you’re investing in these precious metals, but bad if you are in the market for a new wedding ring.
As an example, a comparison of three similar rings, identical in width but varying in metal makeup can range from less than $100 for titanium or tungsten all the way up to $1400 for platinum and this is just a simple, no fuss ring. With titanium and tungsten rings fairing a fraction of the cost, it’s no wonder demand is controlling the economic swing in supply. With the housing market and credit lending slump, it is just not possible or practical to pay more for less - less durability, less savvy and less original. The grooms of today like modern, classy, durable and affordable. The luxury of titanium and tungsten rings is that they pose the perfect balance of masculine ruggedness with the stylish appeal of sleek, sexy and sophisticated. These are not rings of depression era fashion - nor are these the flare of short lived grunge. Contemporary metals are luxurious in look, quality, feel and just about way except the price.
So if you are shopping for wedding rings, men’s wedding bands or just interested in fine jewelry for men and women, check out what the excitement over these metals is all about. There are many reputable designers that specialize in titanium and tungsten jewelry. The attention to detail and fashion consciousness they behold, can be seen in the designs offered using these contemporary metals today.
As a personal shopper, Sam Brown monitors fine jewelry trends, with an emphasis on mens wedding bands, titanium wedding bands and mens wedding rings.

The unit of measure used to value precious metals is a “troy ounce”. Every troy ounce of pure gold, platinum or silver can be “diluted” or “alloyed” with other metals to make jewelry. In the United States, gold jewelry is usually alloyed in 10 karat (kt), 14 kt, or 18kt. The higher the karat the higher the level of pure gold your jewelry will yield. The percentage of pure gold in 10kt is 41%, 14kt is 58.3% and 18kt is 75%. So, when the price of pure gold is $800 per ounce, 10kt is valued at $333/oz, 14kt is valued at $466/0z and 18kt is valued at $600/oz. The actual price you can expect to receive will depend on the quantity you are selling. However, if someone offers you less than 50% of the above prices you should find another buyer!
The weight of precious metal jewelry is measured in one of two ways: either in pennyweight (DWT) or in grams (GR). Don’t let this confuse you. An ounce of gold weighs either 20 pennyweights or 31.1grams.
When selling your gold jewelry, you should expect to be told the pennyweight or the gram weight of the piece(s) you are selling and a price in dollars per pennyweight or gram the buyer is paying. Example: 10.0 DWT bracelet multiplied by $15.00/DWT is priced at $150 and the same bracelet weighed on a gram scale will weigh 15.0gr multiplied by $10.00/GR and still priced at $150.
Every company buying gold should be willing to quote you their daily price offering for the various karats and the price difference for larger quantities. You should be wary of those who will not give you a straight answer.
In today’s marketplace it is easy to find buyers of precious metal on the Internet or in your local area. If selecting your buyer involves mailing your jewelry, be certain you are comfortable with the company’s policy for shipping and insurance before sending your valuables.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when doing business with a company that suggests you send your valuables in a “kit’ or an envelope and drop in a mailbox!!! You are taking an unnecessary risk of loss or theft. Regardless of how little you may be selling, I urge you to select the company which offers FREE insured FedEx, UPS or DHL service. This type of service offers you the best protection as well as providing you a third-party tracking number which enables you to know when the buyer has received your package.
I want you to receive the most money from the sale of your unwanted gold jewelry. You should expect your transaction to be handled in a safe and above board manner. how to sell gold jewelryUnfortunately, anytime there appears to be an easy way to make a fast buck, dishonest people get in the game.

When it comes to jewelry for men the most important piece of jewelry a man can have is his watch. It isn’t very surprising that most watch collectors are male, and hence, is it not always simple to purchase a watch for one.
The More You Know About the Man The Easier Your Selection Will Be
There are numerous elements that need to be taken into account in regards to selecting a mens watch. For instance his personality, which will give you an indication of the kind of watch he will want; modern, classic, sporty and so on. One of the best ways to learn what his preferences are when it comes to watches, is to begin with the watch he is wearing right now.
What his age is also plays a large part as well, the reason being younger men do not prefer antique watches. The man you are buying the watch for could be the exception to the rule, and that is something you need to learn. If he happens to be a collector, you will have a challenging task on your hands.
How to Fix Your Mistake
If you went out and bought a mens watch for him, and it ends up that your friend already has one that is similar, perhaps he just does not like it, or simply was hoping for a different color dial, your mistake can be repaired by buying from an outlet or store that accepts exchange or returns.
As a matter of fact, the best way to guarantee this is to make certain that they do have a return or exchange policy by letting the seller know up front that there is a possibility you may wish to return or exchange the mens watch if the person you are buying it for does not like it.
An alternative way to fix any problem like this is to give him a gift card from a mens watch store so he can pick out a watch that he likes himself and end up one hundred percent satisfied.
When it comes to a man you will often find that a watch is their only piece of jewelry they own. Hence, sometimes they will be a little more choosy when it comes to getting one, which is understandable when taking everything into consideration. For most people a watch is a very personal possession, as it accompanies us everywhere we travel.

Exoticism and Sensuality Upon the Wrist: The Cartier La Dona de Cartier watch
The Cartier La Dona de Cartier watch is a stunningly designed luxury timepiece that illuminates the exotic preferences of a luminous film star as well as the mastery of luxurious design and superb craftsmanship - two facets virtually synonymous with the house of Cartier.
A tribute to the sensual Mexican actress and Cartier patron Maria Felix, the La Dona de Cartier watch is modeled after the magnificent necklace which the star commissioned from Cartier after a visit to the Paris boutique in 1975 — accompanying her on this trip was a live baby crocodile, which the flamboyant actress requested be a model for a stunningly original piece of luxury jewelry. The result was a singular masterpiece of the jeweler’s art and a uniquely personal homage to a luminous celebrity.
Like the original Cartier necklace made famous by Maria Felix, the La Dona de Cartier watch evokes a sensuality which is inspired by the exotic form and untamed reptilian savagery of the crocodile. Supple, fluid, and unique, the interlocking bracelet links display superlative finish and flow harmoniously to offer an exceptional comfort on the wrist, as well as a strikingly stylish presence. The trapeze-shaped case excites with its asymmetric form, counterbalancing the classical details of the elegant Roman numeral dial, with its silver sun-pattern decoration, and blued steel sword hands.
The Cartier La Dona de Cartier watch is presented in both small and large sizes, and is available in 18K yellow, white, or pink gold, as well as stainless steel. Magnificent diamond-set versions, including those with full pave setting reveal the enviable skill of Cartier’s master jewelers, while versions with alligator straps and finely crafted deployant clasps are ideal for those who desire the mystique of this luxury watch, but prefer maximal subtlety. The singular, exotic elegance of this modern Cartier classic is thus tailored to the widest array of expressive preferences.
Fitted with a highly precise, battery-operated quartz movement, each Cartier La Dona de Cartier timepiece is a superbly reliable timekeeper. As is the case with every Cartier watch, the La Dona de Cartier is fitted with an extremely hard crystal crafted from synthetic sapphire. All models are water resistant to 30 meters.
Vialuxe provides you with the largest selection of the world’s most recognized luxury watches and uxury jewelry brands including Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Breguet, Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard, David Yurman, Roberto Coin, Omega and Tag Heuer.
