Moissanite is so similar to a diamond that it even can mislead experienced jewelers. In this article, we will try to know what is moissanite, how it created, and why it is so related to a diamond.<br /><br /></p><p><a title="five-moissanite-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/five-moissanite-engagement-ring"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/Diamond_ring_728f79fa-aec3-44c7-b012-6b9aa71307eb.jpg?v=1676627054" alt="five-moissanite-engagement-ring" /></a></p><h2> </h2><p><strong><a title="five-moissanite-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/five-moissanite-engagement-ring">Five Moissanite Engagement Ring</a></strong></p><h2>What is Moissanite? The History of Appearing</h2><p>It is safe to say that this stone opened in 1904. In that year the French chemist Henri Moissan, after whom the stone named, discovered a unique mineral with microscopic diamond inclusions in the Devil's Canyon in Arizona.<br />The size of moissanite crystals in nature was quite small and did not interest jewelers. Synthetic moissanite has become quite another matter. The first person who has synthesized it was the same Henri Moissan.<br />The diagnosis of the characteristics of moissanite showed that this stone is simple in its chemical structure, and it is quite hard. This study led to its large-scale manufacturing as an abrasive. Consequently, moissanite began to grow for jewelry.</p><p> </p><p><a title="moissanite-ring-with-diamonds" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/moissanite-ring-with-diamonds"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/MoissaniteRing_7.jpg?v=1606214594" alt="Moissanite Ring with Diamonds" /></a> <br /><br /></p><p><a title="moissanite-ring1" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/moissanite-ring"><em><strong>Moissanite Ring with Diamonds </strong></em></a></p><p> </p><p><em>The first exclusive stone used in the jewelry industry was presented in 1996 in Tucson.</em><br /><br /><strong><a title="moissanite-promise-rings" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/collections/moissanite-promise-rings">Jewelry moissanite</a> appeared on the market in 1997</strong> as the central synthetic stone used to imitate a diamond. This budget version has become affordable to many people. But if you are one of those people for whom the originality of diamonds is fundamental, you should know the following.</p><h2> </h2><h2><a title="cluster-moissanite-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/cluster-moissanite-ring"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/photo_2021-04-0508.50.02_1_4.jpg?v=1676627555" alt="Cluster Moissanite Ring" /></a></h2><p><a title="cluster-moissanite-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/cluster-moissanite-ring"><strong>Cluster Moissanite Ring</strong></a></p><h2><strong>Moissanite vs Diamond</strong></h2><p><br />A lot of people wonder what does moissanite means? Is it a real jewel or just a cheap copy of a diamond? Moissanite and diamond are so related in their characteristics that even on the Mohs scale they have almost equal parameters. Of course, the diamond in this case with its 10 is the leader among solids, but the second is not much lower to him and has 9, 25 points. This hardness indicates that both stones are perfect for everyday wear. If the quality of the mineral in your ring is not essential for you, then you can boldly buy the product with moissanite. The principal purpose why? It is that it is enough cheap stone which is very similar to a diamond. People without knowledge in the art of jewelry will not even suspect that your ring is from moissanite, not a diamond.</p><p><a title="eternity-wave-moissanite-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/eternity-wave-moissanite-engagement-ring"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/EternityWaveMoissaniteEngagementRing5.jpg?v=1676627166" alt="Eternity Wave Moissanite Engagement Ring" /></a></p><p><strong><a title="eternity-wave-moissanite-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/eternity-wave-moissanite-engagement-ring">Eternity Wave Moissanite Engagement Ring</a></strong></p><p> <a title="double-band-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/double-band-engagement-ring"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/photo_2020-11-2508.08.36_1.jpg?v=1676627272" alt="Double Band Engagement Ring with Moissanite" /></a></p><p><strong><a title="double-band-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/double-band-engagement-ring"> Double Band Engagement Ring with Moissanite</a></strong></p><p> </p><h2><strong>How to Recognize Moissanite from Diamond?</strong></h2><p><br />It is extremely hard to identify moissanite from a diamond, as this synthetic "diamond substitute" is much closer to the original than others. And so popular techniques of checking the authenticity as weight, brightness, thermal conductivity, and light transmission can be ineffective.</p><p><a title="cathedral-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/cathedral-engagement-ring"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/photo_2020-11-2414.08.28_5.jpg?v=1676627648" alt="Cathedral Engagement Ring" /></a></p><p><strong><a title="cathedral-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/cathedral-engagement-ring">Cathedral Engagement Ring</a></strong></p><p>Very often the originality of a diamond is terminated by such a factor as thermal conductivity. A real stone does not heat up even after you hold it in your hand. Moissanite also stays cold for a long time. Moreover, these two stones have almost the same luster, and it is extremely hard to see that the glow of moissanite is brighter if you are not a professional. Accordingly, on the question does moissanite sparkle the answer will be yes.</p><p><a title="oval-moissanite-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/oval-moissanite-engagement-ring"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/6_4.jpg?v=1676627742" alt="Oval Moissanite Engagement Ring" /></a></p><p><a title="oval-moissanite-engagement-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/oval-moissanite-engagement-ring"><strong>4,5 CT Oval Moissanite Engagement Ring </strong></a></p><p><strong>The most reliable methods of distinguishing moissanite from a diamond</strong></p><ul><li><h3>Optical tests</h3></li></ul><p>If a detailed study of the internal structure of the crystals is carried out, then the moissanite is not marked by such sharp adhesion of the faces as the diamond. A synthetic crystal also exhibits a clear double effect. The play of light of moissanite is somewhat brighter and differs in unusual “brilliance” for diamonds.<br /><br /></p><ul><li><h3>Specific gravity</h3></li></ul><p>Specific gravity is another parameter that will differ between moissanite and diamond. The specific gravity of the diamond is 3.52, and for moissanite, it will not have an exact figure. The numerical value of moissanite will be in the range from 3.17 to 3.24.<br /><br /></p><ul><li><h3>Mohs hardness</h3></li></ul><p>Synthetic moissanite is the hardness is slightly inferior to natural diamonds, so a crystal can be scratched with a special tip having diamond spraying. But this method is practically not applied in practice.<br /><br /></p><ul><li><h3>"Open flame"</h3></li></ul><p><br />Synthetically grown moissanite, if you bring it to an open flame, will very quickly change its color: it will turn greenish. You can heat using an alcohol lamp, a lighter, or a simple match. In this case, even microscopic inclusions will become noticeable. When checking the crystal in this way, extreme care must be taken. If moissanite becomes very dark from overheating, then it will be completely impossible to restore its original transparency.</p><ul><li><h3>Ultraviolet radiation</h3></li></ul><p><br />Charles & Colvard, which received a patent for the production of moissanite, has developed a UV-based tester of its own production. Using a tester, the amount of visible light that is transmitted by diamond, but which delays artificial moissanite, is determined.<br /><br /></p><ul><li><h3>Analysis of electrical conductivity</h3></li></ul><p><br />Synthetic moissanite does not have one common parameter. Each crystal will have its own conductivity, different from the others. A portable tester has already been developed that can carry out identification even when a person holds a crystal in his hand. This tester is the smallest of all existing.</p><p> </p><p><a title="1-carat-moissanite-ring" href="https://one2threejewelry.com/products/1-carat-moissanite-ring"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/8060/6266/files/Moissanite-ring5_78c39db2-4c7c-43c1-9e81-9f753feea809.jpg?v=1604679506" alt="moissanite-ring" /></a></p><p> </p><h2><strong>Where to Buy Moissanite stone?</strong></h2><p><br />Trendy Jewelry houses that value their reputation offer only high-quality real diamonds.

People no longer eye the traditional wedding rings that feature minimalist bands. In the present times, people look for a bespoke tactile representation of their love, encrusted with diamonds and color gemstones. If your wedding date is set and you’re looking for a stylish wedding ring, this article will be a boon for you. In this article, we’ll talk about some of the best wedding ring trends of 2023 that you can take inspiration from. Go through this article to choose a design for your <strong><a href="https://www.gemsny.com/engagement-rings/" target="_blank">simple wedding rings</a></strong> that you best connect with.</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;">Contour Wedding Rings</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Contour wedding rings are the epitome of creativity and elegance. A contoured wedding ring is designed according to your engagement ring, featuring a curved band that complements the shape of your engagement ring. The contemporary feel of a contoured wedding ring makes it popular among modern brides. Its curved design captures the attention of couples eyeing a unique wedding ring to celebrate their wedding.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p><a href="https://justpaste.it/img/45e9306cf0c02ffc9a34c64985c7d4c4.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://justpaste.it/img/small/45e9306cf0c02ffc9a34c64985c7d4c4.jpg" alt="diamondweddingband.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">This type of wedding ring sounds just about right for both statement and basic engagement rings. For instance, if you have a rather fancy <strong><a href="https://www.gemsny.com/sapphire-rings/make-your-own-sapphire-ring/three-stone-ring/" target="_blank">three stone engagement ring</a></strong>, a contoured wedding band will amplify its beauty like nothing else does. Similarly, a contoured wedding ring will also work wonders for a minimalist <strong><a href="https://www.gemsny.com/sapphire-rings/make-your-own-sapphire-ring/solitaire-ring/" target="_blank">solitaire engagement ring</a></strong>.</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;">Open Wedding Rings</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">An open wedding ring has a band that doesn’t make a full circle but features a slight opening. This type of wedding ring is a blend of creativity and modern flair that you can’t get in any other wedding ring design. Mindfully crafted to turn heads wherever you go, open wedding rings are particularly popular among people who want a statement piece to complement their <strong><a href="https://www.gemsny.com/engagement-rings/" target="_blank">unique engagement rings</a></strong>. If this wedding ring design has sparked your interest, we’ll tell you how to take the lure of this design to the next level.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p><a href="https://justpaste.it/img/19a3a60ebc1089333a3654e9e1b610bc.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://justpaste.it/img/small/19a3a60ebc1089333a3654e9e1b610bc.jpg" alt="the_best_wedding_ring_trends_of_2023_2.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">You can fashion your open wedding ring with two diamonds or color gemstones set at the two ends of the band. For a more unique look, you can encrust your open wedding ring with your and her favorite gemstones.</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;">Contrasting Metal Band with Pavé-set Diamonds</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">If you’re the kind of person who likes to go bold when it comes to jewelry choices, you’ll love this type of wedding ring design. Let’s say you have a yellow gold engagement ring. Now, you can choose a wedding ring in yellow gold to create a harmonious combination with the aura of your engagement ring. However, that’s what people generally do. So instead, you can make a dramatic move and choose a wedding ring in a contrasting metal such as white gold, silver or platinum to give a bold touch to your most <strong><a href="https://www.gemsny.com/gems/" target="_blank">precious stones</a></strong> jewels.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">To accentuate your wedding ring, you can encrust it with pavé-set diamonds. There are no specific rules to designing a wedding band. It all boils down to your creative genius. In that sense, this type of wedding ring design is a big thumbs up!</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p><a href="https://justpaste.it/img/17b83b91224b9feaf9018b2f6d21184e.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://justpaste.it/img/small/17b83b91224b9feaf9018b2f6d21184e.jpg" alt="diamondring.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><h2 style="text-align:justify;">Mix & Match Design</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The idea of this type of wedding ring design is quite similar to the one with contrasting metal bands. Mixing and matching the widths of your engagement ring and <strong><a href="https://blog.gemsny.com/5-perfect-wedding-bands-for-your-to-be-husband/" target="_blank">wedding bands</a></strong> is an ultra-modern way of creating an irresistible silhouette. If you have a dainty <strong><a href="https://www.gemsny.com/engagement-rings/" target="_blank">engagement rings</a></strong>, choose a thick wedding band. Similarly, if your engagement ring features a bold and eye-catching band, you can choose a rather delicate band for your wedding ring.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The contrasting combination of thin and thick bands will create a dynamic look. Moreover, this type of design gives you the leeway to choose a basic <strong><a href="https://www.gemsny.com/engagement-rings/" target="_blank">wedding rings sets</a></strong>, which makes it a great option for you if you’re on a tight budget. So, why not go for it!</p><h3 style="text-align:justify;">The Bottom Line</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">From contoured bands to contrasting widths, this list of best wedding ring trends encompasses some of the boldest designs that we’ve seen in 2023.

All the things in situations are not going to same. When people take the load from any organization, I don’t know why they only think about the <a href="https://melbournepawnshops.com.au/loans-against-jewellery-loan-against-gold-loan-on-jewellery"><strong>loan on jewellery</strong></a> Because besides the jewellery, there are many things that you can use to take a small loan. All the people do not have enough amount of jewellery. If you are going to talk loan from any source, then this article will be a helping source to you. Here you will know all the things you can use to take a loan.</p><p><strong>Things you can use to loan as mortgage </strong></p><p><strong>Watch or band:</strong> if you want to get a loan and have an expensive watch or diamond band, you can use those types of things. Some antic watches can be worth more than 50 thousands dollar. However, the pawnshop owner loves those things when you take a loan from them. Even if you have such a type of expensive band, this can be a good solution.</p><p><strong>Jewellery:</strong> the process to loan against your jewellery items money for scrap gold is not new. If you have any gold or platinum ring, earring, neckless, or anything, you can use those. Even if you have a diamond or another gemstone, you can use those to get the loan. Depending on the amount of gold or the gemstone's value, you will have the money. And the most important thing is that the specific jewellery you take as a mortgage to get a loan will bring back the exact item.</p><p><strong>Expensive sunglass:</strong> Do you know how much a sunglass can be? Sometimes a sunglass can be more than 5 thousands dollar. Even if the glass has any important things, its price can be more than your imagination. So you can use this also to make money by loan or selling.</p><p><strong>Land</strong>: People like to take the land as a mortgage all the time and everywhere. You can use these things like mortgages and get a loan by using the land. Lots of people are using these things. But here is some important thing that I want to mention: don’t go to mortgage land to get a small loan. Because taking the risk for a small amount is not a good practice. Instead, you can take a significant loan depending on your need by land.</p><p>Besides that, you can get a loan on your jewelry from <a href="https://www.pearltrees.com/johneyboy/item393558644"><strong>the best pawnbroker</strong></a> your certificate or license. You should not use those essential papers for a simple or small loan. Instead, use those important documents if you need to take more than 10 thousand dollars. However, if you have any other option to avoid a loan, you should go for that. In this way, I suggest people sell some expensive things to solve the instant problem. Unless you take a loan, it will take you in the long hassle to give its installment with interest. I think you will make the best decision according to your situation.</p></div>Unveiling the Insider Story of Lab Grown Diamonds: Discover Novita Diamondshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/unveiling-the-insider-story-of-lab-grown-diamonds-discover-novita2023-06-09T09:12:57.000Z2023-06-09T09:12:57.000Z3h9dq8cv0m2eehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/3h9dq8cv0m2ee<div><p><a href="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TurUV3N-s_g/maxresdefault.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TurUV3N-s_g/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="maxresdefault.jpg" /></a></p><p>Lab grown diamonds have captured the imagination of the jewelry industry and consumers alike, offering a sustainable and ethical alternative to mined diamonds.

In Melbourne, there are several pawn shops that offer these services. However, like any financial transaction, there are pros and cons to using pawn shops. In this article, we'll explore the advantages and disadvantages of using <a href="https://www.goldbuyersmelbourne.com.au/pawn-shops-melbourne-pawn-brokers"><strong>pawn shops Melbourne</strong></a>.</p><p><strong>Advantages:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Quick Access to Cash</strong></li></ul><p>One of the main advantages of using pawn shops is the quick access to cash. If you need money urgently and don't have the time to go through the process of getting a loan from a bank, pawn shops can provide an immediate solution. You can simply bring in your items and receive cash on the spot.</p><ul><li><strong>No Credit Check</strong></li></ul><p>Pawn shops don't require a credit check, which can be a benefit if you have a poor credit score or no credit history. The value of the item you pawn will determine how much money you can borrow, so it's a great option for those who may not be able to secure a loan from a bank or other financial institution.</p><ul><li><strong>Ability to Get Your Items Back</strong></li></ul><p>Unlike selling your items outright, pawning your items at a pawn shop allows you to get your items back once you've repaid the loan. This can be helpful if you need the money temporarily but want to keep your items in the long term.</p><p>Disadvantages:</p><ul><li><strong>High-Interest Rates</strong></li></ul><p>One of the main drawbacks of using pawn shops is the high-interest rates. Pawn shops charge interest on the loans they provide, and the rates can be much higher than those of a traditional bank loan. This can make it difficult to repay the loan and can result in you losing your items if you can't repay the loan in time.</p><ul><li><strong>Low Value for Your Items</strong></li></ul><p>Pawn shops will offer you a loan or buy your items for a price based on their appraisal of the item's worth. However, the appraisal may be lower than the item's actual value, which means you may not get the best price for your item. It's important to do your research and compare prices to ensure you're getting a fair deal.</p><ul><li><strong>Risk of Losing Your Items</strong></li></ul><p>If you're unable to repay the loan or choose not to, you risk losing your items. Pawn shops have the right to sell your items to recoup their losses, and you may not get the full value of the item if it's sold.</p><p>In conclusion, pawn shops can be a convenient option for accessing quick cash, but it's important to weigh the pros and cons before using them. High-interest rates, low value for your items, and the risk of losing your items are some of the potential drawbacks of using pawn shops. If you do choose to use a pawn shop, make sure to read the terms and conditions carefully and choose a reputable pawn shop and <a href="https://dailygram.com/index.php/blog/1099188/guide-to-pawn-shops-and-variety-of-collections-offered/"><strong>Perth pawnbrokers</strong></a> with a good track record.</p><p> </p></div>Understanding Blood Diamonds: What They Are and How to Avoid Them with Novita Diamondshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/understanding-blood-diamonds-what-they-are-and-how-to-avoid-them-2023-03-28T13:23:40.000Z2023-03-28T13:23:40.000Z3h9dq8cv0m2eehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/3h9dq8cv0m2ee<div><p><a href="https://www.catholicweekly.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/shutterstock_378371476.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://www.catholicweekly.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/shutterstock_378371476.jpg" width="1051" height="705" alt="shutterstock_378371476.jpg" /></a></p><p>Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, are diamonds that are mined in war zones or areas with ongoing conflicts and are sold to finance armed conflict against governments. These diamonds have become a major ethical concern in the diamond industry, as they have been linked to human rights abuses, environmental damage, and funding of violent conflicts. In this article, we'll explore what blood diamonds are and how to avoid them when purchasing diamonds with Novita Diamonds.</p><p>“<strong><a href="https://novitadiamonds.com.sg/blog/blood-diamonds">What is ablood diamond</a></strong>" originated in the late 1990s, during the civil war in Sierra Leone, where rebel groups used diamonds to fund their activities. Since then, the issue of blood diamonds has gained worldwide attention, leading to efforts to stop their trade and promote ethical diamond sourcing.</p><p>The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) was established in 2003 to prevent the trade of blood diamonds. This system requires that diamonds be certified as conflict-free by the government of the country where they were mined, and they must be transported in a tamper-resistant container. The KPCS has been successful in reducing the trade of blood diamonds, but there are still concerns about the effectiveness of the system.</p><p>At Novita Diamonds, we are committed to ethical and sustainable diamond sourcing. We work only with suppliers who adhere to strict ethical standards and are committed to fair labor practices, human rights, and environmental responsibility. We ensure that all of our diamonds are certified conflict-free by reputable organizations like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI).</p><p>When you purchase a diamond from Novita Diamonds, you can be confident that it was sourced ethically and sustainably. We prioritize transparency and strive to provide our customers with the information they need to make informed decisions about their purchases.</p><p>In conclusion, blood diamonds are a major ethical concern in the diamond industry, and it's important to ensure that the diamonds you purchase are ethically and sustainably sourced. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme has been established to prevent the trade of blood diamonds, but it's important to work with reputable suppliers like Novita Diamonds who prioritize ethical and sustainable sourcing. By choosing Novita Diamonds, you can be confident that your diamond purchase is not only beautiful but also supports responsible and ethical practices in the diamond industry.</p><p>See more information click here: <strong><a href="https://canvas.brown.edu/eportfolios/33026/Home/Why_purchase_blood_diamonds_when_you_can_buy_labgrown_diamonds">lab-created diamond UK</a></strong></p></div>Why Argyle Pink Diamonds Are the Perfect Investmenthttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/why-argyle-pink-diamonds-are-the-perfect-investment2023-02-23T11:33:29.000Z2023-02-23T11:33:29.000ZSusan Californiahttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/SusanCalifornia<div><p><a href="https://ibb.co/fXkNxPw"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/Mgc1C30/argyle-pink-diamonds.jpg" alt="argyle-pink-diamonds" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></p><p>If you are looking for a long-term investment that will appreciate in value over time, then <a href="https://uberant.com/article/1865022-argyle-pink-diamond-in-australia-/">Investing in pink argyle diamonds</a> is a wise choice.

Pink diamonds are extremely rare, and the argyle mine in Australia is the only source of them in the world.

Compare that to other popular diamond colors like yellow or white, which make up around 2% of global production, and you can see why pink diamonds command such a high price tag.<br /> <br /> 2. Color Intensity The intensity of a diamond’s color is another important factor in determining its value. The more vivid the hue, the higher the price tag will be.<br /> <br /> Pink diamonds with a strong color are especially rare and therefore more expensive. 3. Size A big factor in any diamond’s value is size, and pink diamonds are no exception.<br /> <br /> Larger stones will always be worth more than smaller ones, making them even more rare — and pricey!</p><h2><strong>Do Pink Diamonds Hold Their Value?</strong></h2><p>When it comes to diamonds, there are a variety of different colors that can be found. One of the rarer colors is pink, and because of this, many people wonder if pink diamonds hold their value. The answer is yes, pink diamonds do tend to hold their value quite well.<br /> <br /> This is because they are so rare and sought-after by those who are looking for something unique. While the price of a diamond can fluctuate depending on the market, overall, pink diamonds have been shown to maintain their value fairly well.</p><h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2><p>In conclusion, Argyle pink diamonds are the perfect investment because they are rare, beautiful, and have a high resale value.

Pink diamonds that are free of inclusions or blemishes are considered to be more valuable than those with visible inclusions or blemishes.</p><p><strong>Carat weight:</strong> The carat weight of a pink diamond also plays a role in determining its value. Larger pink diamonds are considered to be more valuable than smaller ones, with the price per carat increasing as the carat weight increases.</p><p><strong>Market demand:</strong> The demand for pink diamonds is currently high, which is driving up prices. This can make pink diamonds a good investment in the short term, but it's important to consider the long-term market demand as well.</p><p><strong>Certification:</strong> Always purchase a diamond that has been certified by a reputable gemological institute such as GIA, AGS or HRD.

These diamonds are virtually identical to natural diamonds in terms of their physical and chemical properties, but they are significantly less expensive than natural diamonds. There are two main methods of creating lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Understanding the differences between these two methods can help consumers make an informed decision when purchasing a lab-grown diamond.</p><p>The HPHT method of creating lab-grown diamonds mimics the high-pressure and high-temperature conditions that occur in the Earth's crust, where natural diamonds are formed. This method uses a press and a seed diamond to create a lab-grown diamond. The press applies high pressure and high temperature to a mixture of carbon and a seed diamond. The carbon atoms in the mixture then bond to the seed diamond, forming a new diamond.</p><p>The CVD method of creating lab-grown diamonds uses a chemical process to deposit carbon atoms onto a substrate, which then form into a diamond. This method uses a chemical reaction to create a gas, which is then deposited onto a substrate in a chamber. The carbon atoms in the gas bond to the substrate, forming a diamond.</p><p>One of the main differences between <a href="https://novitadiamonds.co.uk/hpht-vs-cvd-vs-hpht-diamonds-vs-cvd"><strong>HPHT </strong><strong>Vs</strong><strong> CVD</strong></a> lab-grown diamonds is the color. HPHT lab-grown diamonds are typically yellow or brown, while CVD lab-grown diamonds are typically colorless or near-colorless. This is because the high pressure and high temperature used in the HPHT method can cause impurities in the diamond, resulting in a yellow or brown color. The CVD method, on the other hand, is able to create a purer diamond, resulting in a colorless or near-colorless diamond.</p><p>Another difference between the two methods is the size of the diamond. HPHT lab-grown diamonds are typically smaller than CVD lab-grown diamonds. This is because the HPHT method is only able to create smaller diamonds at a time, while the CVD method is able to create larger diamonds.</p><p>The price is also a difference between these two methods. HPHT lab-grown diamonds are typically more expensive than CVD lab-grown diamonds, due to the costs associated with the press and seed diamond used in the HPHT method. CVD lab-grown diamonds are typically less expensive than HPHT lab-grown diamonds, as the process is less complex and less expensive.</p><p>The quality of the lab-grown diamonds is also another important factor to consider. Both CVD and HPHT lab-grown diamonds are graded and certified in the same way as natural diamonds, using the 4 Cs: carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. However, CVD lab-grown diamonds are considered to be of higher quality than HPHT lab-grown diamonds, as they are typically colorless or near-colorless and have fewer impurities.</p><p>In conclusion, lab-grown diamonds are a great alternative to natural diamonds, and they can provide consumers with the opportunity to own a diamond that is virtually identical to a natural diamond in terms of its appearance and brilliance. Both <a href="https://novitadiamonds.co.uk/hpht-vs-cvd-vs-hpht-diamonds-vs-cvd"><strong>CVD </strong><strong>Vs</strong><strong> HPHT</strong></a> lab-grown diamonds have their own unique characteristics. CVD lab-grown diamonds are typically colorless or near-colorless and have fewer impurities, while HPHT lab-grown diamonds are typically yellow or brown and are smaller in size. While both methods can produce high quality lab-grown diamonds, CVD lab-grown diamonds are considered to be of higher quality than HPHT lab-grown diamonds. </p></div>Get Money Against Your Precious Valuables at Pawn Shopshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/get-money-against-your-precious-valuables-at-pawn-shops2023-01-17T16:49:51.000Z2023-01-17T16:49:51.000Z3h9dq8cv0m2eehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/3h9dq8cv0m2ee<div><p><a href="https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/d63cc29a-1802-4b13-bee5-30f1f03435e7.ef5de3226a1d75ce0e8dd94e4f79eaca.jpeg" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/d63cc29a-1802-4b13-bee5-30f1f03435e7.ef5de3226a1d75ce0e8dd94e4f79eaca.jpeg" alt="d63cc29a-1802-4b13-bee5-30f1f03435e7.ef5de3226a1d75ce0e8dd94e4f79eaca.jpeg" /></a></p><p>Pawn shops service have become quite famous in recent days.

But most people will say that the custom build process is easy, fun, and ultimately very rewarding. Creating a bespoke engagement ring is quite simple, and it can be even easier and smoother when you know how to prepare for the design process. Are you interested in designing your own engagement ring easily? Read on to learn things you need to know about creating <a href="http://novitadiamonds.com.sg"><strong>Custom engagement rings Singapore</strong></a>.<br /> </p><p><strong>It's important to determine your budget first:</strong></p><p>You should set a budget for your custom engagement ring before talking to the jeweler. This will ensure that you don't take it too far as you start designing your ring. It also helps your jewelry shop to modify the design to increase your budget and prioritize what interests you the most.</p><p> </p><p><strong>You should think about your partner's tastes:</strong></p><p>Ultimately, it is your partner who will wear this custom engagement ring. Therefore, you should take into account their style and taste. This includes aesthetic preferences and practical preferences. You want to think about their style (classic, modern, vintage, glamorous, or something else?), and you want to think about their lifestyle as well. For example, if your partner works by hand, they may not like rings with high settings, or if your partner does gardening or painting, often they may prefer rings that are easier to clean.</p><p>Pay more attention to the type of clothing and accessories they wear if you have tried this but are still unsure. You may want to enlist the help of a stylish friend or relative who can help you understand your partner's style. If there is a practical concern, Think about the type of activities your partner does. Then, talk to your jeweler and ask if they have any helpful advice.</p><p> </p><p><strong>You can draw inspiration from anywhere:</strong></p><p>It is common for people to draw inspirational images early in the design process. People tend to bring samples of their favorite engagement rings, which is great. However, you want to point out that you can draw design inspiration from just about anywhere or you might feel inspired by the beautiful architecture. The colors in the pictures you took during the holidays. Bringing inspiration into it is a standard part of the custom design process. But keep in mind that your inspiration doesn't have to be standard.</p><p> </p><p><strong>It's important to enjoy the process:</strong></p><p>To finish off this overview of what you need to know before creating a <a href="https://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/novita-diamonds-successfully-enters-the-lab-grown-diamond-london-market"><strong>custom engagement rings</strong></a>. Creating a custom engagement ring is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. You should enjoy the creative process as much as you did with you enjoying the final product. So if you find yourself feeling stressed, Try taking a step back and resetting the center. Focus on being creative, having fun, and thinking about what really matters. That is your relationship with your partner.</p></div>How to get Loans against Watches?https://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-get-loans-against-watches2023-01-15T08:41:31.000Z2023-01-15T08:41:31.000Z3h9dq8cv0m2eehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/3h9dq8cv0m2ee<div><p><a href="https://www.goldencash.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/ban3.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://www.goldencash.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/ban3.jpg" alt="ban3.jpg" /></a></p><p>If you have luxury items but no funds, you can borrow them. Conventional loans require collateral like homes, automobiles, or reputation. Borro, a global lender, doesn't loan on houses but only on luxury commodities. Borro deals with premium watches, jewelry, art, wines, and autos. Considering their uniqueness, Borro's conditions are impressively fair. I asked "Borro's US Operations Manager Tom McDermott" about the company's clients and lending process. How does Borro differ from a pawnshop? Borro sells generally expensive things on a greater scale. Pawn shops can provide fast cash for low-value assets. If you wish to loan against an elevated watch brand and get the most income, then require Borro.</p><p><strong>Borro-watch-loan</strong></p><p>Borro says 50% of their clientele are company owners or entrepreneurs, which I found intriguing. This explains the reasonable loan conditions, which typically last 6 months. McDermott claimed customers get 70-75 percent of the total of the device's assessed value with just a cost of borrowing of 2.5%–4% computed quarterly and no early settlement penalty. That's OK, and Borro gets clients since most institutions won't accept costly watches as security.</p><p><strong>PROMOTED</strong></p><p>Borro consumers receive cash within a matter of days, and the lending procedure looks quick. Borro includes New York, London, and Los Angeles locations. Customers can attend an office for speedier services or deal with experts online to acquire a credit quote for their timepieces. Borro promises identical value estimates for watches sent to them.</p><p>Borro uses roughly 300 merchants and auctioning workers as "valuation experts" in addition to its team. Borro uses these relationships to sell the property if customers default on debts. McDermott says that 10% or fewer customers fail, which is higher than typical for <strong><a href="https://www.sydneypawnshop.com.au/loan-against-watches-pawn-my-watch-loan-on-watches">loans against watches</a>.</strong> Borro retains borrowers' property during borrowing, which is normal.</p><p>The which was before, auctions, and loan markets for expensive timepieces are growing as more people worldwide become interested in them. These economic and commercial sectors relate to the fascinating life span of elevated timepieces after their original investment. After buying expensive timepieces, buyers can loan them. Most individuals hate borrowing money, but they frequently have little alternative. Borro asserts that a sizeable proportion of their consumers need immediate cash for the companies whenever working capital is tight and that they can provide elevated service since their clientele are typically smart and reliable. Thus according to its General Manager, 65% of lenders are recurring clients, and very few banks with Borro's size will deal with all these assets.</p><p>Borro has had many based on customer needs since 2008. Sale Anticipation Loans foresee a client's need for cash while <strong><a href="https://uberant.com/article/672214-the-dos-and-donts-of-selling-watches-at-pawn-shops/">selling your watch</a></strong> or even other luxury goods. Borro would "advance" approximately 70 percent of the projected purchase price to resell or auction the watch through one of their associates and pay a reasonable 1-2% a month. Borro additionally receives 10–20% of the appraised value. It's more expensive than engaging with an auction firm, but it allows consumers to collect money quickly without feeling exploited.</p></div>Are Pink Diamonds a Worthwhile Investment?https://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/are-pink-diamonds-a-worthwhile-investment2022-09-19T11:24:27.000Z2022-09-19T11:24:27.000ZSusan Californiahttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/SusanCalifornia<div><p><a href="https://ibb.co/BPMf8sC"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/kyCGYcS/3-pink-diamonds-in-marco-shot-scaled-e1637763465601.jpg" alt="3-pink-diamonds-in-marco-shot-scaled-e1637763465601" border="0" /></a></p><p>Pink diamonds have shown an increase year-on-year in value comparing to <a href="https://novitadiamonds.com/blog/platinum-vs-white-gold-white-gold-vs-platinum-is-platinum-better-than-white-gold"><strong>platinum or white gold</strong></a>. Diamonds of pink in high-end and standard grades are priced at an average for a carat that ranges from $1.5 or $3 million for a carat. Collectors and investors are paying attention to the increasing prices. As prices decrease as mines like they see the Argyle Diamond Mine is closing and the demand for diamonds will increase the cost.</p><p>In the past, the majority of pink diamonds were bought for use in engagement rings however, market indices that consistently show an annual increase of 20% caused an increase in self-managed Super Funds (SMSF) as well as wealthy investor from China and all over the world making pink diamonds an investment in financial markets that lacks romantic or sentimental value, and laden with practical considerations for security, risk-free, and a significant return on the investment.</p><h3>The Value of Pink Diamonds</h3><p> </p><p>For fancy colored diamonds, the color is strongly linked to significance, in contrast to the colorless diamonds, which are priced according to the four Cs. Pink diamonds are considered to be one of the rarest colored diamonds, their value for pink diamonds fluctuates based on the variation in color of the stone.</p><p>While brownish pink gemstones are cheaper and affordable, diamonds with a purplish-pink color command higher costs. The word "affordable" is used almost in a loose sense here, but prices are still expensive when compared to other stones.</p><p>Prices rise according to the degree of pink diamonds' color intensity in the form of an average. Pink diamonds that are strong or vivid in their color are extremely expensive. When they are paired to secondary hues, the more rare the secondary color more expensive and.</p><p>The cost of pink diamonds is increasing exponentially when the carat size increases. For $50,000 the value of a .50 carat stone can be sold, whereas two carat stones could be purchased for $500,000.</p><p>When it comes to colored diamonds clarity is crucial, but not as important as it is for non-colorless gems. Even diamonds with less clarity can be sold at a premium price since the color is often used to hide imperfections. Even though the brilliant diamond cut round is most popular for diamonds with no color since it enhances the diamond's sparkle the fancy cuts are the best for pink diamonds as they allow the stone's real color to show through.</p><p>For colored diamonds such as cushion, radiant or heart, triangle and marquise are the best ones to hide imperfections while highlighting the color.</p><p>The diamonds that are the ones we typically see in engagement rings with pink hues are more subtle in hue, like novitadiamonds diamond engagement ring that is pink that is so intense stunning, pure pinks that come with the cost of a higher amount.</p><p>For those who want to invest in pink diamonds like SMSF banks, funds and even wealthy individuals This is a safe sanctuary' that gives you all the benefits and advantages of <a href="https://masstamilan.biz/pink-diamond-investment-in-australia.html"><strong>investing in a pink diamond</strong></a> but with small stones that are easily carried inside your purse or placed on your finger.

The way a diamond you cut affects everything from its overall brilliance and sparkle to weight, shape, and size.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">The most popular diamond cuts come in various shapes: round, square, pear-shaped, oval, and heart-shaped. There are also fancy shapes like cushion or Asscher-cut diamonds that can be quite stunning but are also more expensive than round or princess-cut diamonds.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight:400;">Round Brilliant</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400;">Round brilliant diamonds are the most popular cuts and maybe the most traditional. Traces of the round brilliant cut you can see in ancient jewelry remain a top choice for bridal or fashion rings. Its classic shape and uniform facets make it easy to set, allowing a maximum light return. Brilliant-cut diamonds are available in various sizes and colors.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight:400;">Princess</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400;">A princess-cut diamond offers many of the same benefits as a round diamond with a square frame that adds extra sparkle. It is also an excellent choice for bridal rings, though people don't generally use it on engagement rings. If a round diamond doesn't have the clarity or symmetry to give you the sparkle you're looking for, consider a princess cut. You can choose from certified diamonds from well-known manufacturers.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight:400;">Asscher</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Asscher cut is a unique diamond shape considered the most modern of all cuts today. This fancy square-esque shape has flat sides, but the corners are cut for a rounder silhouette. It offers more stone at a lower cost than other shapes because it doesn't need as much material removed from each side of the stone; however, it also takes longer to cut and polish as fewer facets per face. If you’re not sure what cut to pick, a </span><a href="https://www.nektanewyork.com/products/addison-6-79-carat-square-emerald-cut-g-color-vvs1-clarity-diamond-engagement-platinum-ring-gia-certified-6-28ct-g-vvs1-by-mike-nekta"><span style="font-weight:400;"> 7 carat Asscher cut diamond ring</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> may be the perfect option for you.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight:400;">Cushion</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400;">The cushion cut is similar to the princess-cut diamond, but it has a larger perimeter and a rectangular shape, similar to an oval. It is ideal for designers because it looks like an emerald cut in real life. The cushion-cut has the same brilliant sides and square corners as the Asscher-cut, only with more surface area for light to reflect off of.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight:400;">Emerald</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400;">The emerald cut has long been a popular choice for engagement rings and other jewelry because of how it can catch and reflect light. The shape is similar to the cushion-cut but different in that it features tapered sides with a more rectangular perimeter and deep, triangular facets. It is generally less expensive than the oval-shaped emerald cut, making it ideal for something more affordable.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">There are many cuts to consider when buying diamond jewelry, but the most popular types and shapes are round, princess, and Asscher. All three cuts are easy to work with and give your diamond the sparkle you want for this timeless piece of jewelry.</span></p></div>How to keep your lab-grown diamonds bright?https://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-keep-your-lab-grown-diamonds-bright2021-02-16T11:00:00.000Z2021-02-16T11:00:00.000ZSusan Californiahttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/SusanCalifornia<div><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8844275293,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8844275293,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="8844275293?profile=original" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Like any other objects in the world, lab-grown diamonds also need caring. With care and effort, you can make your lab-grown diamonds look even brighter. The cleaning process of diamonds is not as easy as it seems. You should put a competent amount of effort and time into your diamonds. Since lab-made diamonds look similar to natural diamonds, you can adapt the same processes to clean both diamonds. You need to know what kind of things make your diamonds lose their sparkle. It can be dirt or other materials. For getting a proper understanding of cleaning your lab-grown diamonds, you can further take advice from <a href="https://novitadiamonds.com/"><strong>lab grown diamonds in <span>Australia</span> and NZ</strong></a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">If you use your lab-grown diamonds frequently, then you need to clean them regularly. By wearing a diamond every day, it will catch dirt easily. Sometimes it can lead the diamonds to get scratches as well. You can clean your lab-grown diamond regularly with just soap and water. After a long day of wearing it, do not just put it away. If you do so, then some scratches can become permanent. If you clean the diamonds with a soft piece of cloth and soap water, then the grime cannot stay for a longer time. It can get out in no time. If you do not use your lab-made diamond for a long time, make sure to put it inside a ring box or ring slot. Your lab-made diamonds should not be mixing with other jewelry. That way, you can be assured that your diamonds do not get any scratches from anywhere and stay as brighter as ever.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Lab-made diamonds should get a deep cleaning and proper maintenance twice a month. Always check for repair issues and loose stones. A soft brush can help you get rid of the grease and buildup on your diamonds. Before starting the cleaning, you should put your piece of lab-made diamond in 2-3 cups of Luke warm water. After that, use a fragrance-free soap in the water. Then, use that soft brush gently to clean away the grime, lotion, buildup, and grease from the diamond. Move your diamonds to clean water when you think that the dirt is no longer in them. After five minutes, pick it and wipe the diamond piece with a soft towel.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Always remember, do not use bleach, chlorine, or ammonia for cleaning your lab-made diamonds. These products are dangerous for your diamonds. These chemicals can dull the sparkle from your lab-made diamonds. For colorful lab-grown diamonds, these harsh products might remove the color from the diamonds permanently. Be very careful about using different types of products on your lab-made diamonds.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Being extra careful about your hardly earned lab-made diamonds is the key to make it brighter.

However, it can be a daunting task trying to scout for a ring. A jumble of questions can run in your mind. Will she love the ring? Will I make a good impression with my selection? Should I go for <a href="https://alexandcompany.com/accent/colored-diamonds/" target="_blank">colored diamonds</a></span><span> or white? What if it doesn't fit her? To ease all these, follow along for some great enlightenment when purchasing a precious gem for proposal:</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 1: You need to know the 4Cs</span></strong><span>.</span></p><p></p><p><span>Maybe the 4Cs sound foreign to you. Before you even thought of buying a diamond, you might not have heard about this. Welcome to a new world of informative and beautiful things. What do these four Cs stand for anyway? </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong><span>Color:</span></strong><span> The color grading of the diamond starts from a D (colorless) scale to Z (lightly colored). The fancier </span>colored diamonds<span> have different scaling. Those with less color are quite rare.</span></p><p><strong><span>Cut:</span></strong><span> The quality of the cutting will determine how the light reflects through the stone. There's a general diamond rule that the higher the cut grade, the more the diamond will sparkle. A cut is also known as a fashioned diamond shape. The round-shaped rings tend to be a little more expensive than pear and marquise shapes, cheaper.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Clarity:</span></strong><span> From the word clear, it means precisely that—the absence of blemishes and impurities. And the lesser inclusions that a diamond has, the better the clarity grading.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Carat (weight):</span></strong><span> Each diamond is measured in weight, referred to as carat. Does that mean that more considerable carat weight is better than a smaller carat weight? Now, listen to this; a high carat weighted diamond with a poor-cut might seem smaller than a diamond with a smaller carat weight with a great cut.</span></p><p></p><p><span>When you first understand these 4Cs, you will start sounding like a diamond pro. Now you can pick the first C that matters more to you. </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 2: Find out your babe's ring style</span></strong><span>.</span></p><p><span>A phase that you don't want to mess with is this one. The tricky part comes when you want to stick to the surprise element, which is super awesome. How do you nail that? Do you play undercover? Here are some cool ways to accomplish that mission;</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Ask her BFF:</span></strong><span> When girls are having fun, these are the things they usually talk about with fellow friends. If she hasn't shared with you about her preferred ring, she has probably told her BFF.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Be observant:</span></strong><span> Start paying attention to what jewelry she wears. Does she love colorful types or plain? It will be your perfect guide when buying her the engagement ring. You can easily choose a white or </span>colored diamond<span>, based on what you see.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Know her style:</span></strong><span> when you spend time with your love, you pick her taste. Does she usually like classic things, or she has a sophisticated style? If the latter, then she would love something trendy, so she can make a statement.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span>How romantic is your girl? If she is hopelessly passionate or a lovey-dovey, then a heart-shaped diamond is your answer. </span></p><p></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 3: Selecting a metal band </span></strong></p><p><span>While the budget is something to consider, be careful not to get poor-quality metals that scratch easily. Like the rings, most metal bands come in yellow gold, white gold, silver, and platinum. And the recent addition is rose gold, which is proving to be a favorite for many. It is vital to understand that the rare the metal, the more expensive it will be. For example, platinum may look like silver, but it is thin on the ground and has a higher density. That's the reason it's pricier than the latter.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 4: Know your carat size</span></strong></p><p><span>Let's be honest here, would you prefer a larger stone to a smaller whiter one? As people have different tastes, some would rather have a sparkling diamond regardless of the carat count. Does size matter that much? As for me, I would say it does. For the color and clarity, one can tweak them to suit your budget. Here you need to dish the surprise element and ask your lady what's her preferred carat size. It's a big moment, and she will be the one wearing it anyway. Let her live every moment, feeling happy.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 5: Don't guess your ring size</span></strong><span>.</span></p><p><span>If the two of you can go scouting for a ring together, that's great. It means that you will get it right. However, you could be buying online or sending someone from abroad. How do you ensure that you have the correct measurement? First, you can visit a jewelry store and get your finger sized by an expert. Then you can confidently give your proper ring-size. It can be too risky to have the wrong sized ring. If you get a loose one, there's a risk of losing it-while a tight one will cut off your circulation and will make you uncomfortable. </span></p><p></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 6: Consider your wedding band as well</span></strong><span>.</span></p><p><span>Common mistakes people make when buying the engagement ring is not considering how the wedding band will look. If your fiancé will get a family heirloom, it's crucial to consider its appearance before shopping for a proposal ring. </span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 7: Buy from certified stores</span></strong><span>.</span></p><p></p><p><span>Buying diamonds is a delicate affair, while getting an engagement ring is phenomenal. When you buy from the certified people, you will likely find a diamond or jewelry appraiser who can educate you more on 4Cs and what to expect. Otherwise, without this information, it can cost you dearly. Not to mention getting ripped off.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Tip No. 8: Make a smart move.</span></strong></p><p><span>When you go to the lowest </span>colored diamonds<strong><span>, </span></strong><span>you</span><strong><span> </span></strong><span>can save</span><strong><span> </span></strong><span>money. The stone looks colorless to the naked eye when it's embedded in a ring. If you choose a round-shaped diamond in white gold, the color scale is either an I or J. The same shape in yellow gold can probably scale on a K. There is a significant difference in price between D's color scaling to a J., And the same concept goes for the clarity. The whole idea here is to choose a lower clarity stone but looks clean to the naked eye. However, everything else should be equal.</span></p><p></p><p><strong><span> In conclusion,</span></strong><span> remember the diamond cut is what gives it the sparkle that you will love to see on your fiancé's face when you propose. And lastly, seek the right information from the trusted sources before buying a diamond engagement ring. Be safe by choosing certified jewelry experts.</span></p></div>Buy Black Diamonds in Various Fancy Shapes at Wholesaleshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/buy-black-diamonds-in-various-fancy-shapes-at-wholesales2020-10-02T09:10:02.000Z2020-10-02T09:10:02.000ZAvellinnohttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Avellinno<div><p></p><p><span><span lang="en-in" xml:lang="en-in">Do you love the magnificence of diamonds?

These criteria remain true when you considering a colored diamond, also known as a fancy diamond, though the stress on each attribute is different.</p><p>In a white, colorless diamond the emphasis is on its lack of color and its clarity. With a fancy diamond, the depth of the color is more important than the clarity. The diamond can stand to have a tiny flaw as long as its color is deep and rich. The cut is also important, and the carat is simply the size of the diamond.</p><p>Though you may consider colorless diamonds to be pricey, fancies can be even more expensive. High quality fancies set in <a href="https://www.wishartjewellers.com.au/handcrafted-jewellery/engagement-rings">diamond engagement rings</a>, earrings or other types of jewelry are rare and beautiful. For a fancy diamond, the four C’s are in order of importance are color, clarity, cut and carat.</p><h2>Color</h2><p>Most fancy diamonds are shades of yellow or brown, and it takes special skill to grade them. The rarest fancy diamonds come in deep shades of blue, green or pink, and the more saturated the color, the more valuable the diamond.</p><h2>Clarity</h2><p>Though diamond experts can give a high grade to a diamond with more than one flaw as long as it has a beautiful color, the diamond shouldn’t have so many flaws and inclusions that it’s at risk of fracturing. One type of flaw that fancies have that colorless diamonds don’t often have is color graining. This can show up as bands of color or a haziness in the stone.</p><h2>Cut</h2><p>The cut of the diamond can affect the intensity of its color. Jewelers have found that a yellow diamond cut in a radiant shape has a deeper color than a yellow diamond in a step cut, and the better cut will increase its price. Fancy diamonds are also cut in unusual shapes such as triangles and briolettes.</p><h2>Carat</h2><p>As with a colorless diamond, a large fancy diamond is considered more valuable than a smaller one that has the same cut, color and clarity. But a large fancy diamond that has a lot of flaws may be worth less than a smaller fancy diamond that’s flawless.</p><p>Fancy diamonds are the result of other minerals such as boron found among the carbon atoms. High quality fancies are exceptionally beautiful and very rare. They are bound to make your engagement ring a statement piece.</p></div>Wholesale Diamonds Dallashttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/wholesale-diamonds-dallas2018-08-12T16:38:26.000Z2018-08-12T16:38:26.000ZMark Dysonshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/MarkDysons<div><p><span>In the past, jewelry buyers are unable to purchase diamonds because of their prohibitive price. The biggest factor of diamond pricing is the markup price that retailers place on it. Nowadays, diamond buyers are more astute. If you are one of those people who has discovered that purchasing wholesale diamonds will save you from paying high markup prices, then you join the ranks of a growing number of buyers who are interested in buying these glittering gemstones at a wholesale price. Dealers of wholesale diamonds sell these gemstones at a more competitive rate.</span><br /><span>At Bova Diamonds, you will find the right balance of price, quality, and an array of choices. Bova Diamonds have been selling wholesale diamonds for decades, and have both experience and expertise in guaranteeing that they are giving the best-quality diamonds to customers.</span><br /><span>All of the diamonds at <a href="https://www.bovadiamonds.com/" target="_blank">Bova Diamonds</a> are sourced in an ethical manner, as they adhere to a policy of selling only conflict-free diamonds.

Other reputable certifying bodies are American Gemological Society (AGS), with its in-depth scientific analysis as well as the International Gemological Institute (IGI), which is widely used in Asia. It is very important that the diamond that you purchase has passed certification.</span><br /><span>A typical GIA loose diamonds grading report contains very detailed information on the diamond.

Most people don’t have a lot of experience with loose stones, and don’t usually understand the way that these stones can fit into a final product. The help of an experienced jeweler is absolutely imperative when trying to choose the right stone for something as important as an engagement ring. Any type of jewelry that you’re having custom designed will end up being important to you, or the person who’s receiving it. There’s something about custom jewelry that just says more about the piece itself. More thought went into it, and someone had to spend more time choosing that perfect design.</p><p>There are certain stones that just work better for specific pieces of jewelry. Looking through a selection of loose stones doesn’t exactly give you an idea of how each one of them will work with the jewelry type that you’re considering. A stone that works well for an engagement ring won’t necessarily work well for a pendant. This is, again, where the help of a knowledgeable jeweler can really help. It can be a good idea to look at other pieces designed around the type of stone that you’re considering, or to have an idea of how you’d like the finished piece to look. A good jeweler can take your ideas and suggestions and bring them to life.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843779485,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843779485,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" width="635" alt="8843779485?profile=original" /></a><br /><br />Some people are also hesitant about buying diamonds or ordering custom jewelry online. With the growth of the internet, it would be unusual for a jeweler not to have a retail website. This is just a good business practice, and doesn’t mean that the quality of their stones or pieces is in any way inferior. Texas has a fantastic reputation for high-quality loose stones, and you can <strong><a href="http://aviorjewelry.com/loose-diamonds/" target="_blank">buy loose diamonds in Dallas</a></strong> that will be a perfect fit for any jewelry that you have in mind. These are some suggested diamond cuts and styles for different types of jewelry:<br /><br /><strong>Rings</strong><br /><br />Traditional diamond rings are usually used as engagement rings, but diamonds can be used in a ring for any occasion. Nearly every diamond cut and shape can be incorporated into a ring. It’s really up to the buyer. A traditional round cut embodies the solitaire diamond that many people believe to be the ‘go-to’ for engagements. The emerald cut makes for a larger diamond, and adds a vintage element to the ring. For anniversary rings and other occasions, the marquise and pear cuts have been popular. Any distortion caused by these shapes can be offset with small side stones.<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-pendants.htm" target="_blank">Pendants</a></strong></p><p></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-pendants.htm" target="_blank"></a></strong>A pendant is any stone that will be used as the focal point of a necklace. These stones tend to be a bit larger and are designed to reflect the light. The best stones for this purpose tend to be cut in the style of the brilliant cut. These are diamonds that receive extra attention to the number of reflective surfaces in order to become as eye catching as possible. The radiant cut is one of the more popular choices for the pendant. It appears as if the stone is literally sparkling while its wearer is standing still due to all of the tiny surfaces catching the light.<br /><br /><strong>Bracelets</strong><br /><br />The brilliant cut diamonds are popular now with the traditional <strong><a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-tennis-bracelets.htm" target="_blank">tennis bracelets</a></strong>. Tennis bracelets are adorned with stones that run the length of the entire piece. They are incredibly eye catching, and have been a popular gift option for decades. Larger round cut diamonds can be used for cuffs and other custom pieces. Discuss your options with your jeweler. </p></div>Fast and Easy Ways to Choose Your Diamond Ring Settingshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/fast-and-easy-ways-to-choose-your-diamond-ring-settings2017-08-24T13:29:00.000Z2017-08-24T13:29:00.000ZJenny Richardshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/JennyRichards<div><p>Anyone who has bought a diamond ring will tell you that choosing the right piece is not an easy task. You need to look around and explore the different options available. Also, there are budgetary constraints to consider. Another aspect that comes into the picture is the type of occasion you wish to commemorate.</p><p><strong>Look for a balance between gem and design</strong></p><p>When going for a particular setting, what you pick affects how the end piece looks. A ring whose design covers most of the diamond ends up looking small. On the contrary, if you make the stone more visible, the jewel appears larger than other ordinary pieces.</p><p><strong>More stripes, less brilliance</strong></p><p>The jewel mounting is another aspect that affects the overall allure. If, for instance, you have more metal lines on the ring, they cause the diamond to become less brilliant. The effect is that you can see more of the stone’s flaws. At the same time, the metal stripes appear to conceal most of the diamond.</p><p><strong>Four and six prongs</strong></p><p>If you opt for a mounting that utilizes six prongs, the stone becomes less visible. Four prongs would be ideal. You enhance the visibility of the gem resulting in a much more beautiful piece. Besides, fewer prongs underscore the size of the jewel and bring out more sparkle.</p><p><strong>Visibility versus safety</strong></p><p>When <a href="http://yourdiamondteacher.com/rings/all-about-ring-settings-the-engagment-ring-setting-guide/">choosing the right ring setting for diamonds</a>, you have to seek a balance between security and visibility. More metal covering the gemstone keeps it securely in place. However, the stone ends up looking smaller. On the other hand, a setting that exposes more of the stone will make it appear larger but the wearer has a higher risk of causing the ring to crack.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843770077,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843770077,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8843770077?profile=original" /></a></p><p><strong>Take mounting size into consideration</strong></p><p>In addition to settings, you must choose a mounting with the right size. Large mountings reduce the prominence of the diamond while small ones make it less distinct. In the end, what you should seek for is a balanced look. When picking a mounting, you must also consider the diamond’s weight.</p><p><strong>Base – not too large, not too small</strong></p><p>The base should not be too broad, thick or large. If you let it be, you will end up overpowering the effect; the stone will look small and will be hardly noticeable. However, if the pedestal is smaller than the diamond, the ring loses proportion. Worse, it does not appeal to your eye.</p><p><strong>Choose the right size of diamond</strong></p><p>Another challenge you might want to avoid is opting for a diamond piece. What happens is that the ring becomes dull. Moreover, the jewelry loses its balance. On your finger, the ring keeps shifting, and you feel uncomfortable.</p><p>Settings are important when choosing the right diamond ring. Your objective should be to achieve harmony. Both the diamond and the setting must meet in perfect balance. Since you are seeking to have the gem visible, let the jeweler get you a mounting that makes the diamond become the center of attraction.</p></div>Top Tips for Buying Diamonds...https://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/top-tips-for-buying-diamonds2016-12-14T10:30:00.000Z2016-12-14T10:30:00.000ZBethany Pembrookhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/BethanyPembrook<div><div><p>There aren’t many <strong>occasions</strong> in life that call for a <strong>diamond</strong>. For the majority of us, we won’t have many <strong>opportunities</strong> or reasons to buy a one. For those who are lucky enough to be considering it – perhaps as a gift for someone else, or for an <strong>engagement ring</strong> – buying diamonds online can be highly rewarding. It’s not like the purchase of a new pair of shoes; a diamond is a big commitment that requires plenty of planning and research.</p></div><div class="post-default-content"><p>If you’re buying an engagement ring, a lot of people incorrectly assume that the purchase of a diamond in its setting will be <strong>cheaper</strong>. This simply isn’t the case, and you will often be able to find better <a href="http://www.diamondsofchoice.com/" target="_blank">quality diamonds</a> if you buy <strong>loose diamonds</strong> from a reputable online trader. Before you start looking for the perfect diamond, follow these invaluable tips for buying the perfect loose diamond online. </p><h2>Understand the 4Cs</h2><p><a href="http://www.diamondsofchoice.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.wearandcheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Understand-the-4Cs-wearandcheer.com_.jpg?width=700" width="700" class="align-full" alt="Understand-the-4Cs-wearandcheer.com_.jpg?width=700" /></a></p><p>The 4C's of a diamond are essential to understanding the quality and look of a diamond. The 4C's are :</p><ul><li>Cut</li><li>Clarity</li><li>Carat</li><li>Colour</li></ul><p>These factors are used to grade the value of the diamond, so it’s important to get clued up on how they influence the price. Other factors to consider are the polish, symmetry, and fluorescence. These will all impact the price of a diamond, so make sure you read up and establish what you want before making a decision.</p><p><span style="font-size:1.5em;">Ask See a Picture of the Actual Diamond</span></p><p></p><p>It may seem very obvious, but you’d be surprised how often people buy a diamond without seeing a picture of what exactly they’re buying.This is very common with wholesale sites that sell a lot of lower-quality diamonds. To save time, they only photograph a few diamonds, so instead of seeing your exact diamond, you’ll see something that is similar. As buying a diamond is a large investment, you should always ask the online seller to provide an image of your exact diamond so you can make an informed decision. Most reputable retailers, such as <a href="http://www.diamondsofchoice.com/" target="_blank">Diamonds of Choice</a> will allow this. </p><h2>Look for Certified Diamonds</h2><p><img src="http://www.wearandcheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Look-Certified-Diamonds-wearandcheer.com_-750x380.jpg?width=750" width="750" alt="Look-Certified-Diamonds-wearandcheer.com_-750x380.jpg?width=750" /></p><p></p><p>Never buy a diamond that isn’t certified, as this is the only way you can be sure that you are buying a genuine diamond. The most popular certifications are GIA, AGS, and EGL, and the seller should volunteer this information freely when asked. If you’re having difficulty getting the certification, you might want to consider a different diamond dealer. The certification also confirms the size, flaws, and inclusions, so it’s a good way to make sure you know what you’re getting.</p><h2>Only Buy from Trustworthy Sellers</h2><p></p><p>If a website is selling diamonds at prices too good to be true, this is probably a warning sign. Look for a trustworthy seller that has a good online footprint and multiple online reviews. If their website says they are members of any societies such as the <a href="http://www.responsiblejewellery.com/" target="_blank">Responsible Jewellery Council</a>, check the RJC website and make sure they’re listed. You should also look for information such as a detailed company history, a phone number, and TrustPilot reviews.</p><h2>Look for a Returns Policy</h2><p><img src="http://www.wearandcheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Look-for-Returns-Policy-wearandcheer.com_.jpg?width=700" width="700" alt="Look-for-Returns-Policy-wearandcheer.com_.jpg?width=700" /></p><p>If the website you are considering buying from doesn’t have a returns policy, then you should think twice before ordering from them. Read all of the small print so you know your rights before handing over any money. Most retailers offer a 14 day returns policy, which gives you plenty of time to review your purchase and decide if it’s what you want. If a company offers a very short or complicated returns process, ask further questions to find out if you are likely to run into conflict if you decide to return it. You should also check if the company offers a safe way to return the diamond because a diamond isn’t something you can just pop in the post.</p></div></div>Tips on How to Wear Jhumki Earringshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/tips-on-how-to-wear-jhumki-earrings2016-04-06T12:09:00.000Z2016-04-06T12:09:00.000ZEkta Singhhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/EktaSingh<div><p>When it comes to jewelry, the whole industry is immensely vast and houses a lot of variety in it. There a lot of different options for even just one occasion and it can be quite a dilemma trying to decide from among them all. For each part of the body, one can find a lot of range in styles, materials, designs, and more with extreme ease. Necklaces for the neck, maang- tikka for the hair, rings for hands, anklets for ankles, kamarbandh for the waist, earrings for the ears and for any other part that one might have missed out on. The jewelry industry is one of the oldest and most successful ones, and one can find literally anything that they might be in need of.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843594493,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843594493,original{{/staticFileLink}}" height="339" width="339" alt="8843594493?profile=original" /></a><br />The most common areas of jewelry are earrings and necklaces, since these are pieces that women wear every day, for various occasions. Although rings too can be included, but they are not really good for daily use and are usually relegated to wearing only during outings or events. Earrings are perhaps even more used than necklaces, since most women get their ears pierced at a very young age and usually wear some type of earring in their day to day life. <br /><br />For the daily use, women will mostly go for the pure metals like silver or gold, that are not harmful for the skin if worn for long periods of time. However when it comes to wearing for a special get together or function then women do experiment and try out different styles and metals. An easily found style is that of the jhuma or jhumki, that almost every woman has in her jewelry box. Jhumka are a very traditional accessory, as they have an antique but still trendy look to them. They are also decorated with intricate patterns, motifs and designs. <br /><br />Jhumkas usually give of a very Indian look, but <a href="http://www.hazoorilallegacy.com/" target="_blank">jewelers in South Delhi</a> and other areas have played with the idea and made it more versatile and edgy in some cases. The hoop is a western type of jhumka and more suitable to be work with outfits like a jeans and shirt. <br /><br />Even still, some people are not able to understand how to make these work, and in a bid to be fashionable, make mistakes that can ruin their look. Thus, here are a few tips that one can use on how to get the best out of jhumki earrings:<br /><br />1. <strong>Don't Wear with Western Outfits</strong>:<br /><br />Simple plain hoops are one thing, but wearing heavy and Indian jhumki with western wear would clash horribly. It would be a major fashion faux pas, so never wear jhumki if one is wearing a western outfit. <br /><br />2. <strong>Choose according to Face Type:</strong><br /><br />One might like a big <a href="http://www.hazoorilallegacy.com/diamonds-jewellery/diamonds-earings/" target="_blank">set of earrings designs in diamonds</a>, however, it is also important that they compliment the shape of one's face. A small and thin face bearing heavy jhumka can look as out of place as a big round face wearing small ones. <br /><br />3. <strong>Keep it Simple</strong>:<br /><br />Avoid pairing up big and blingy jhumki with a statement neckpiece as it can give a very cluttered look. Keep it simple and if one the jhumkas are showy and large then it would be advised to sip the neckpiece altogether. That way, all the attention will go the earrings.</p><p></p><p></p></div>Griffin and Highbury reminds us, “don’t forget coloured diamonds”https://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/griffin-and-highbury-reminds-us-don-t-forget-coloured-diamonds2015-09-03T21:00:00.000Z2015-09-03T21:00:00.000ZSarah Cornell Parkerhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/SarahCornellParker<div><p class="BodyA"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843531880,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843531880,original{{/staticFileLink}}" height="349" width="526" alt="8843531880?profile=original" /></a>Natural coloured diamonds and gemstones have long been regarded as the one of rarest commodities in the world.

Natural coloured diamonds are classified and evaluated differently than other diamonds. Their value greatly depends on their depth of colour, and “unlike colorless and near-colorless diamonds, fancy-color diamonds are evaluated less for brilliance or fire and more for color intensity. Shades that are deep and distinct are rated higher than weak or pale shades,” <a href="http://www.4cs.gia.edu/en-us/gr-colored-diamonds-gemstones.htm"></a><a href="http://www.4cs.gia.edu/en-us/gr-colored-diamonds-gemstones.htm">the GIA website outlines</a>.</p><p class="BodyA"> </p><p class="BodyA">Natural coloured diamonds and gems are the ultimate fashion accessory as they are extremely scarce and denote a level of sophistication and class that other jewels cannot match. Fancy diamonds and gemstones are renowned because of the unique conditions required to produce one. Yellow and brown fancy diamonds receive their colouring from a concentration of nitrogen, combined with carbon. Yellow natural coloured diamonds are amongst the most sought after diamonds because of the notoriety they have garnered from their celebrity owners. Meanwhile, diamonds with varying blue hues come from a combination of boron and carbon.</p><p class="BodyA"> </p><p class="BodyA">Natural gamma radiation gives green diamonds their sheen. Pink diamonds and the highly coveted red diamonds have a more mysterious origin than their colourful counterparts. With no concrete evidence of how their soft powder pink or deep maroon hues are achieved, it is speculated that massive amounts of pressure over long periods of time created these highly sought after gems.</p><p class="BodyA"> </p><p class="BodyA">“More than any other fancy color, certain shades of pink possess what seems to be the most promising returns in colored Diamonds. Pink holds the second place immediately after yellow for highest market demand, but pink is far rarer and much more expensive,” <a href="http://www.minerals.net/How_are_Natural_Fancy_Diamonds_Created.aspx"></a><a href="http://www.minerals.net/How_are_Natural_Fancy_Diamonds_Created.aspx">the Minerals.net website states</a>.</p><p class="BodyA"> </p><p class="BodyA">In 2010, the <a href="http://observer.com/2015/04/sothebys-perfect-diamond-fetched-22m-but-these-rocks-sold-for-even-more/"></a><a href="http://observer.com/2015/04/sothebys-perfect-diamond-fetched-22m-but-these-rocks-sold-for-even-more/">Graff Pink Diamond sold at auction for $46 million (USD)</a>, making it the most expensive diamond ever auctioned. The price of diamonds is expected to rise six percent annually over the next decade, while fancy diamonds is expected to gain on average 15 to 30 percent on annual basis. That makes investing in a fancy coloured diamond a stable and secure way to diversify any portfolio, while also having a stunning piece of one-of-a-kind jewelry.</p><p class="BodyA">However, with any high end acquisition, ensuring you are getting what you paid for is critical. Finding a reputable diamond dealer can ease worries and guarantee you get the best quality for your money.</p><p class="BodyA"> </p><p class="BodyA">The Toronto-based colored diamond and gemstone dealer <a href="http://www.griffinandhighbury.com/#AboutG&H">Griffin and Highbury</a> offer their clients the highest quality diamonds and gemstones through their comprehensive acquisition process. Their expert consultants are highly trained and able to source the <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/fine-art/2015/06/griffin-and-highbury-sparks-buzz-with-one-of-the-worlds-rarest-diamonds-2670772.html">world’s rarest gemstones</a>. “Historically, coloured diamonds have never decreased in value,” Geoff Black of Griffin and Highbury mentions.</p><p class="BodyA"></p><p class="BodyA">With the instability of world markets that coupled with a diminishing mining production, acquiring a fancy diamond or gemstone is a hard asset that is highly desirable. “Natural coloured diamonds and precious gemstones are not a speculative endeavor. Institutional investors and funds have been unable to use these assets in risky trading platforms,” Griffin and Highbury’s Geoff Black adds. “Not having the traditional markets speculate in diamonds and gemstones and their value has allowed for consistent growth for this asset.”</p><p class="BodyA"> </p><p class="BodyA">Demand for natural coloured diamonds and gemstones is growing globally, with emerging countries like <a href="http://www.diamonds.net/News/NewsItem.aspx?ArticleID=53098"></a><a href="http://www.diamonds.net/News/NewsItem.aspx?ArticleID=53098">India reporting that 19 percent of Indian women</a> own a piece of jewelry with a natural coloured gem. It means that purchasing a natural colored diamond or gemstone is not only smart from a fashion standpoint, it’s also an intelligent investment decision. After all, diamonds are forever - especially coloured ones. </p></div>New York Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza - fashion show (pre-show) Press Tea Party (Hong Kong) Presented by La Mode by GV Miaohttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/new-york-asian-fashion-week-extravaganza-fashion-show-pre-show2014-08-29T14:30:00.000Z2014-08-29T14:30:00.000ZVicki Victoire Gwen Vikkey Miaohttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/VickiVictoireGwenVikkeyMiao<div><p>Prelude to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/newyorkasianfashionweekextravaganza">New York</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/newyorkasianfashionweekextravaganza">Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza</a> - Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza (pre-show) Press Tea Party sponsored by <a href="http://www.maisondedesign.com/">The Tea Room by Antique Patisserie</a> presented by <a href="http://la-mode-by.gvmiao.com/">La Mode by GV Miao</a> took place in Hong Kong on Thursday 21st August in the little tea room cheerfully decorated with French country flair.
