Going for a diamond shopping? Then is must to know how to identify a real diamond and how to check the quality of the diamond. There are basically four steps to check how clean is the diamond that you are planning to buy.

1. Cut : Cut in case of diamonds refers to two things viz much like in this cushion cut diamond engagement ring. shape and quality. Some of the most famous shapes are round, oval, heart, pear, princess. The shape of the cut depends on person to person what they would prefer to. The level of workmanship done on the diamond is also very important because it varies from one diamond to another and also decides the level of beauty of the diamond. The level of cut depends on the amount you can pay. The cut should be fine and through.

2. Color : diamonds come in a variety of colors ranging from colorless to many especially in yellow shades. The amount of yellow shades can be referred to as the color of a diamond. Brown and gray colored diamonds are also available in the trade. Most beautiful, expensive and appreciated diamonds are the colorless ones. Colors in diamond trade are categorized in various grades denoted by alphabets D,H,L,P,Z. “D” is colorless and perfect diamond. Pear shaped diamond rings are the most expensive ones. “Z” is the one with most yellow shades and they are least expensive.

3. Clarity :It is the most important and appreciated factor in the diamond trade. Every diamond has flaws as well as this cluster diamond ring, some internal and/or some external. Some can be seen by naked eyes and some cannot be. Clarity is the level of cleanliness of a diamond. If you are not willing to pay too much of money and don’t bother too much about the quality then you should go for the one whose flaws are not visible by naked eyes. This will provide with a satisfactory feedback avoiding the criticism at a cheaper price but if you want quality then you must go for best diamond.

4. Carat weight :weight of a diamond is measured in carats. So the size of a diamond can be indicated by it’s carats. 1 gram is equal to 5 carats. As carat depends on weight, hence the size. A large size diamond will have more carats than the small ones with the same quality. Hence the carats have a great deal on influence on the prize of diamonds.

The DONT’s When Buying New Rings

Posted on by

Sometimes, when you want to buy something new, you just need to take some time and read the needed information to strengthen your knowledge on the subject before doing anything. And that holds true when it comes to shopping for a brand new ring. Especially for people who’re thinking about buying new diamond engagement rings like the 3 stone diamond rings for example.

And I strongly believe that by learning from the mistakes of others, you can easily avoid the common pitfalls that many people fell into before. So, what exactly are they?

The first DONT that you really need to pay attention to is to never spend more than you can afford! Don’t use your credit card blindly especially when you’re in debt already. Just for your information, a good 3 carat diamond ring could easily set you back $1,000 to $3,000. And if you’re not careful, you can easily burn out your pocket without notice!

The next thing you need to keep in mind is that buying a new ring has more to do with your personal taste than any other thing. Sure, your friends’ opinions might be valid. And you should take them into consideration as well. But in the end, it’s you who will make the final decision not them! Don’t just throw away a good idea just because your friends told you that emerald cut diamond rings suck and black diamonds are the way to go.

You need to test everything yourself. And the most important part is, have the guts to pick up the correct and true ring that can go smoothly with you and your partner. Everything else is not important! So I hope that with the things I shared, you can now make better decisions for yourself.

A jewelry shop I like

Posted on by

tissot watches

I was thinking about buying a new watch for my dad since his birthday is coming. But I can’t come up with any decent idea. So I just ask some of my friends and they told me that I should buy my dad a good men’s watch. Something like this V8 watch from Tissot. To be honest, I really like the idea. But I just don’t like the watch. I prefer the Tissot PRS 516 more, but who knows.

I came to a shop near the center city and had a look around their store. They had pretty much all the big watch brands here with tons of products to look at. I was really impressed at the Tissot Titanium since I really love the material. And then Ken, the shop master approached me and gave me some advices.

I realized he was not just out for a sale, he wanted to make sure I was choosing the “right” diamond/ring combination. His qualifications were impressive and a quick Google search showed testimonials from many of his happy clients and even some videos of him on television. I made an appointment.

The showroom is in a private suite at the top of the building where the GIA is located. Getting in was like going to Fort Knox but once I got upstairs, I was amazed…this place was like walking into your own private Cartier that nobody else knew about. The owner himself had already prepared stones within the budget I had given him. He spent a good 30min teaching me how to grade a diamond and then let ME sell the stone to myself, not the other way around.

After I was 100% positive of the color and quality I wanted, he tested me by putting several stones in a tray and asking me to choose the best. I ended up choosing the nicest, brightest one and after I finished, he smiled and showed me which one I’d chosen was actually the LEAST expensive. He proved that what I thought I needed, I didn’t need and I’ll never forget the lesson. The stone I chose was $7400 cheaper than what I’d originally wanted.

Things I bought for my girl

Posted on by

watches

I still remember the first time I bought a luxury item for my girl friend (now she is my wife). I was thinking very much about what to buy her. Of course, I can’t buy her some men’s stuff like a men’s watch or something. Although I really love the Tissot T-Race watch that one of my friends showed my before. So I decided to try sticking with some women’s watches like this Tissot Navigator. But she seemed to not like it so I threw that idea away.

And that’s when one of my best friends told me that girls love jewelry. So I instantly thought about buying her something really special to surprise her! And guess what, I finally found it!

Located specific GIA certified diamond Designed unique platinum ring to my specifications Followed up with a rush ring resizing. When I mentioned to a few people I was thinking of getting engaged, it seems everyone had a “guy”. I have to say, buying a diamond was perhaps the most intimidating process! Although, to be honest, the ring costs much more than my current watch that I’m wearing – the Tissot Seastar 1000, I still think it’s worth it!

My now-fiance was very specific with what she wanted and between the internet searching and meeting with various jewelers, I was growing more and more uncomfortable with the process. I almost just went to Tiffany to get it over with after dealing with the headaches, then I was referred to this place by a colleague. I couldnt be more pleased.

I contacted the store via email and received a response quickly from the actual owner. He’s the first jeweler that actually asked about my fiance, what she was like, what her tastes were, etc

3 Things Not to Do When Wearing a Watch

Posted on by

There are some things you need to keep in mind when you’re wearing a good men’s watch such as this Tissot PRS 200 watch. The reason is, if you’re not careful, you might end up wasting time and money on watch maintenance and repairing. And I can guarantee that those fees are not small! So watch your steps carefully.

The very first thing you should not do when wearing your watch is to never throw it into water it it’s not water-proof. Yes, I know that there are watches like this Tissot PRC 100 that can resist water pressure up to 100m down under. But what if your watch is not like that? What if your watch is simply a watch that can’t resist water? I think you know the answer already!

Another thing that you should avoid is to try fixing things all on your own when you have no specific knowledge on watch maintenance or repairing. Leave the job to the professionals since they know what they have to do. And I guarantee that once you do that, you can save much time, effort, and free yourself from stress as well.

The last thing you should not do with your watch is to let someone else that you don’t know borrow it. Sure, they might want to borrow it because they really need it. But who knows what they could do to your watch when you’re not there. For expensive watches like Tissot or Citizien watches, there is a high chance that the people who borrow your watch will try to replace the inner parts with fake ones. So, please be careful!

Wanna Know My Favorite Watch Brand?

Posted on by

tissot watches

I have had many watches in my lifetime. Some were analogue, others were digital. Some had a few features; some had a plethora of features. Some were plain watches, while some had quite elegant designs. They all paled in comparison to the Tissot watch brand!

I wasn’t too keen on the idea at first. After all, a watch is a watch, right? That is what I thought when I started looking for watches to buy. I started with the Tissot PRC200 watch series when it all came out a few years ago. I loved them so much. Then I saw the next series of Tissot PRS 330 came along. And I was so excited at that moment as I know I was about to have plenty of choices to look at.

I also saw most of the newer models from other brands. They were mad expensive, far too much for my budget, but then I noticed beautifully designed, elegant watches for a fraction of the price. I decided to buy one. I bought one with a black and gold design. It had a black face with tiny ridges and gold outer rim, gold hands, and gold markers. It was also luminescent, allowing me to view the time in the dark.

I was quite happy with my purchase. I had only begun to see the features of this watch, some of them not available on previous watches I owned. What stood out for me was the eco-friendly design. The Tissot wristwatches are mainly powered. by the Swiss made movement. That means I can charge the battery by exposing it to sunlight. Because I always wear it and I am outside most of the time, it’s like having an unlimited power source. I have had frustrating times trying to change the battery in conventional watches and the lithium battery in most watches is not exactly wallet-friendly, either. This saves me money, is very convenient, and eco-friendly. Three main pluses right there.

I decided to do some research on these watches. I went online and looked at the wide selection of Tissot watches on a variety of online retailers. I couldn’t believe the numerous styles and designs that were available. What I saw in that store was just a fraction of what is offered here. These watches are truly the best I’ve seen in style, design, innovation, and eco-friendliness. I’ve longed for such a brand that has it all. The watch I got didn’t have a fraction of the features found in the ones I saw on these retailers, but then again, I didn’t have the few hundred dollars these watches cost.

These Tissot watches are very much worth their cost and with the designs and styles they are available in, I truly recommend a buy for anyone looking for high-quality, elegance, durability, style, and reasonable cost in a watch.
