Diamond Updates :

A blockbuster rock boasting rare symmetry and polish will go under auction in New York. The 3.15 carat circular-cut colored diamond is the largest ever to be offered at auction.
It’s also the largest reddish orange diamond ever graded at the Gemmological Institute of America. The stone ‘to die for’ has been estimated at $700,000-$1,200,000.
The diamond’s rarity is a fusion of both, its intense color and large size. Highly saturated diamonds in shades of red and orange are considered to be among the rarest of all fancy colored diamonds. Although the cause of their coloration is a natural phenomenon that is not thoroughly clear, it’s believed to occur when minute quantities of nitrogen or hydrogen are present when the diamond’s crystal lattice is forming deep within the earth’s crust.

Buying Platinum Jewelry Without Being Ripped Off ....



Buying Platinum jewelry can be fun, exciting and confusing. Whether you’re considering a gift of Platinum jewelry for someone special or as a treat for yourself, take some time to learn the terms used in the industry. Here’s some information to help you get the best quality Platinum jewelry for your money, whether you’re shopping in a traditional brick and mortar store or online.

Platinum is a precious metal that costs more than gold. It usually is mixed with other similar metals, known as the platinum group metals: iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium and osmium.

Different markings are used on platinum jewelry as compared with gold jewelry, based on the amount of pure platinum in the piece. The quality markings for platinum are based on parts per thousand. For example, the marking 900 Platinum means that 900 out of 1000 are pure platinum, or in other words, the item is 90% platinum and 10% other metals. The abbreviations for platinum - Plat. or Pt. - also can be used in marking jewelry.

Items that contain at least 950 parts per thousand pure platinum can be marked simply platinum. Items that have at least 850 parts per thousand pure platinum can be marked with the amount of pure platinum and the word platinum or an abbreviation (for example, 950 platinum, 900 Plat. or 850 Pt.). Jewelry that contains less than 850 parts per thousand pure platinum, but has a total of 950 parts per thousand of platinum group metals (of which at least 500 parts is pure platinum), may be marked with both the amount of pure platinum and the amount of the other platinum group metals in the piece. For example, the marking 600 Plat. 350 Irid. means that the item has 600 parts per thousand (60%0 platinum, and 350 parts per thousand (35%) iridium, totaling 950 parts per thousand of platinum group metals, and 50 parts per thousand (5%) other metals.

Jewelry Trends :
The demand for vintage-inspired jewelry continues to grow. From exotic, lacy, enamel workings of Indian Kundan Meena jewellery set with raw gemstones to rich royal looks of Gheru finished jewellery, designers are creating unique and contemporary interpretations of these classics. The art of mixing current styles with those of times past is the dominant trend, confirmed also by the latest fashion shows. This is also motivating jewellery designers to look toward old shapes, to recreate the patina of time in new pieces and to rediscover types of jewellery forgotten in grandma's jewellery box.

Jewelry Tip :

Rings in particular tend to collect dust and soap behind the gem, particularly if you wear them all the time. You need to clean them regularly to let the light in so your gems can shine. To clean transparent crystalline gemstones, simply soak them in water with a touch of gentle dish soap. Use a bowl of water rather than the sink to eliminate the risk of anything going down the drain. If necessary, use a soft toothbrush to scrub behind the stone. Rinse the soap off and pat dry with a lint-free cloth (you want to make sure threads won’t catch on the prongs) For diamond, ruby or sapphire, a touch of ammonia in the rinse water won’t hurt a bit and can add extra sparkle (for platinum and gold only, not silver!). Think twice before putting gems in an ultrasonic cleaner. Diamonds and rubies and sapphires will be fine but many other gems many not be, in particular emerald, opal, pearls, peridot: when in doubt, leave it out.
