			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jewelry classics that never go out of style</p>
<p>Build a collection you can wear forever<br />
Most women love jewelry and given the opportunity would, of course, head straight for the real thing. I don&#8217;t know a single lady who would turn down diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires or any of another few dozen gemstones. Nor do I know anyone who would balk at anything created out of platinum or gold. Realistically speaking, however, most of us won&#8217;t see much of that.<br />
With the prices of gold and silver continuing to climb, those two metals could conceivably be out of reach for the average Joe or Jane in the near future. While gold and platinum plating is certainly an option, it is typically done over sterling, causing its cost to escalate as well. It&#8217;s a good thing that someone clever discovered that stainless steel could be used as a viable, if somewhat less desirable, alternative, and it is beginning to grow in popularity. Necessity often breeds the best ideas.<br />
With rising costs and lowering paychecks, choosing something that will never go out of style instead of spending money on today&#8217;s latest trend makes a lot more sense. But what is considered classic? Better still, what current trends will soon be out, making their purchase a worthless endeavor?<br />
There are jewelry trends that, while they fluctuate in popularity, never leave the scene completely. They are considered the classics. These include:<br />
<span id="more-33"></span><br />
Pearls<br />
Most young girl have played dress-up with plastic or glass beads, pretending they were her mother&#8217;s pearls. It is a rite of female passage. While white or ivory pearls are still the most popular, there are a variety of other colors to choose from today, including pink, gold, brown and black just to name a few. There are also different types of pearls to choose from, and even women who can&#8217;t afford the real thing can usually spring for a good strand of faux pearls. Many of them are even difficult to tell apart from the real thing.<br />
Pearl necklaces are the most desired. They can be short, long and anywhere in between. Earrings are a close second; they can be stud, button, or something more elaborate. Bracelets can feature one, two, three or even four rows of luscious beads. The truth is, when it comes to pearls, it is hard to go wrong on any choice.</p>
<p>Tennis Bracelet<br />
Who knew when Chris Evert lost her diamond line bracelet while playing tennis that she was giving birth to a classic jewelry trend? Although jewelers had been selling such bracelets for some time, it was Evert who quickly turned them into a mainstream item. While the trend today is to once again refer to them as &#8220;line bracelets,&#8221; in the mind of many women the &#8220;tennis&#8221; name will always stick.<br />
Today&#8217;s top-notch cubic zirconia stones can be shaped and dyed to match the color of the world&#8217;s most expensive diamonds, for a mere fraction of the cost. That makes it possible for many women to afford the bracelet of her heart&#8217;s desire. And the shimmering look of diamonds gracing a delicate wrist is unlikely to ever go out of style.</p>
<p>Stud Earrings<br />
Earring trends come and go. Hoops are popular one year and chandeliers or shoulder dusters the next, but what never goes out of style; however, is the stud earring. Whether it is a perfect looking pearl, a glimmering hint of diamond or a circle of pure metal, the stud will forever be a jewelry mainstay. It is chic, classic and far less expensive than most other options. What&#8217;s not to love?</p>
<p>Three Stone Jewelry<br />
It was meant as a way to sell some of the world&#8217;s most beautiful diamonds. However, three stone jewelry items that represented the past, the present and the future resonated with women in a big way. What could have been a short-lived trend quickly grew into a classic one instead. Today, three stone jewelry is done in virtually every gemstone in the world, from diamond to turquoise. It graces the fingers, the neck and even the wrists of women from London to Oklahoma. Never has a marketing ploy so captured the romanticism of love as the three stone trend. It is definitely here to stay.</p>
<p>Neck Chains<br />
Neck chains in varying widths, lengths, styles, and cuts can be layered together or worn alone to accent a pendant. With tinting of gold possible today in shades ranging from green to pink or red to brown there is something that will match the personality of just about every woman. There is bad news, however &#8211; this is one instance when faux is not the way to go. Neck chains made of other metals often turn on the skin and don&#8217;t hold the luster of the real deal. In this instance, it is best to invest in the best. There are many classic jewelry designs that come and go from year to year, but never really disappear. These include the cross, the heart, the cameo and the never-ending circle. While they may temporarily be replaced by a popular trend you can bet on their sure return, albeit often in a new way.</p>
<p>As for what is &#8220;out&#8221; when it comes to jewelry, that&#8217;s much harder to identify. Jewelry is, after all, a personal expression of the individual wearing it. While certain pieces may never become a part of the mainstream that doesn&#8217;t mean they won&#8217;t find a place in the heart of someone somewhere. The rule of thumb here is simple; invest in classic pieces as your mainstay items, and try to stay away from mystery metals. If you cannot identify what the jewelry is made of, stay away; it will be a waste of your hard-earned money. Indulge in trendy jewelry only when you have the disposable income to spare or when a particular design speaks to you personally. </p>
<p>Following those simple rules will ensure you have a jewelry wardrobe you will love and can wear from age 20 to 80 without breaking the bank along the way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The wedding ring is the symbol of love and affection and the bears in it the everlasting memories of the very special day of your wedding. The event of wedding which is the most precious moment in a person&#8217;s life is the time which everyone would want to keep as a memorable event and the happiest moment of the life. The ring ceremony and the wedding ring is just the perfect item which bears these memories in it and stays with you all the time. Therefore, people do have some special obsession regarding their wedding ring. If you are in a position that your wedding event is drawing near and you haven&#8217;t purchased your wedding ring yet then it must be a big factor of thought to you. It is true that choosing a wedding ring is not that much an easy task as it seemed to be. In most cases it is seen that men often can&#8217;t figure out what exactly they want to gift their spouse as the wedding ring. Everyone wants their wedding ring to be the representation of the love that he feel for her in his heart and therefore the choice of the wedding ring becomes complicated.<br />
<span id="more-23"></span><br />
Moreover, to choose a perfect wedding ring the first thing you need to keep in mind is the metal of the ring. Gold being the most popular metal in this context and for that reason the most popular choice for wedding ring are the Gold wedding bands. Therefore it though it is a traditional concept but still it is seen that people are very much in favor of choosing Gold wedding bands as their wedding ring. Moreover, there is no such hard and fast binding that one should choose only Gold as the metal for their wedding band. And for that reason modern trend says that these days the platinum wedding bands are also quite popular choice for the wedding ring in case of many couples. Besides that there are also other metals like titanium and white gold.</p>
<p>It is seen that these days many people are in favor of choosing white metals like Platinum and silver and even the white gold is also gaining its popularity these days. The White Gold is an alloy of gold and any other white metal like Platinum or Silver. If you want to have a precious ring made of white gold the choice is obviously the alloy of Platinum and Gold. A White Gold ring fitted with a diamond in it is one of the best choices of wedding ring.</p>
<p>And if a Diamond wedding band is not what you can afford then you can choose other precious gems like ruby, emerald or any other precious stones. But it is a fact that there is no other precious gem that can match with the gorgeous appeal of the diamond wedding bands. It should be kept in mind that there is no better option than the diamond wedding bands. And besides that it is a common fact that diamonds are the best friend of the women therefore what else to choose other than the diamond wedding bands.</p>

Diamonds are the ultimate symbol of love and romance.  Like true love, a diamond’s light and brilliance will not diminish with time.</p>
<p>The word diamond originates from the Greek &#8220;adamas,&#8221; meaning indomitable, diamonds were believed to offer protection and strength in the face of adversity.</p>
<p>The earliest written account of diamonds dates back to around 500 BC and until the 18th century the only diamond mines were in India.  The first recorded use of a diamond in an engagement ring was in 1477 with the engagement of the future Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian to Mary of Burgundy.</p>
<p>The Modern Era<br />
<a href="http://www.diamondcutlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/birthstone-diamondring.jpg"><img src="http://www.diamondcutlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/birthstone-diamondring-83x150.jpg" alt="" title="birthstone-diamondring" width="83" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7" /></a><br />
In the 19th century the combination of newly discovered mines and developments in diamond cutting and polishing, gave birth to the solitaire engagement ring.</p>
<p>The Tiffany mounting, introduced in 1886, maximized the diamonds brilliance by raising it up from the band. The design permitted greater amounts of light to enter the gem, allowing it to exhibit maximum brilliance.</p>
<p>The Modern brilliant cut—In 1919 Marcel Tolkowsky published his determinations for the ideal diamond cut, designed to release the maximum &#8220;fire&#8221; in a diamond.  Within 5 years of his publication jewelers throughout the United States advertised diamonds cut to Tolkowsky&#8217;s &#8220;Ideal&#8221; cut.  Even today, jewelers still refer to Tolkowsky and advertise their cuts as &#8220;Ideal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Purchasing<br />
Buying a diamond can be a significant purchase—both emotionally and financially.  If you choose a qualified jeweler, learn the 4Cs of diamond quality and ask for an independent grading report—buying the diamond of your dreams will be worry-free.</p>
