Diamond Engagement Rings

Argentium silver has been patented and trademarked by the UK company, the Argentium Silver Company. Earlier, silver used an alloy when it came to making jewellery and it was made by adding 7.5% copper to 92.5% silver. This new alloy of silver replaces the copper with germanium which is a metalloid. It is the result of many years of research and what it offers are many advantages over the conventional silver alloy that has been used so far.

How does argentium silver make better wedding and engagement rings? It is much more ductile for one thing and is very tarnish-resistant. So it stays looking gleaming and beautiful for years. It is also extremely strong and hard. It eliminates the process of firescaling which means it is better from an environmental point of view, not to mention a lot of time saving.

What this new trend in using this alloy for wedding and engagement rings has done is to open the doors to more research being done in the field of silver alloys so that the metal can be much better for both the jeweller to work on and the customer to wear.

Elk ivory or elk teeth jewellery is becoming more acceptable today. Elk teeth come in colours ranging from pure white to a brown-white and the colour depends a lot on the land that they are used to grazing in. Sometimes, the teeth have swirls of brown on white or the other way around.

Very often, jewellery fashioned out of elk teeth is more of sentimental value. People have been known to make engagement rings as well as wedding rings out of it. These usually serve as reminders of their first hunt or maybe the first time they shot one. Other jewellery made of elk teeth includes bracelets, pendants, necklaces, etc.

The teeth that are used to make the jewellery are the back teeth of the animal and these are the teeth that produce a weird mating call when they pass their breath over them. They are also called their bugling or whistling teeth. Some jewellers specialise in jewellery made of elk teeth.

You don’t want it lying around reminding you of how he ditched you, do you? Once the guy has flown, it’s time to get practical. At least that’s what most of the Agony Aunts would tell you. And there’s a great way of doing just that right now.

The site’s called exboyfriendjewelry.com. You can go, sign up for free and hawk your diamond engagement ring there. Or even any other jewellery that he might have given you while he was still in love with you.

There’s just one condition though. When you post a picture of the engagement ring or bit of jewellery together with a description of the item you want to sell, you have to post a story of how things went bad. Get to that site and you’ll find many a story up there – it’s a great place to vent and get rid of your anger and frustration. It’s a great place to read about others’ stories too – some sad, some angry, some funny. And of course, it’s a great place to get rid of any memories of the one who hurt you.

Nahla Ariela Aubry – a beautiful name for a beautiful baby. And the beautiful mother, Halle Berry was seen out with her at the Los Angeles zoo and they were both having a great time. What was intriguing to those who saw her there was the fact that she had a huge sparkler on her wedding ring finger. Was it an engagement ring?

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, who is ten years younger than her, have been together for three years. The beautiful Oscar winning star and the good-looking model could well be thinking of marriage now that they have a daughter and such a little stunner at that. Well, if that is really a diamond engagement ring and not just another ring, then we wish all three of them the very best!

There was a DeBeers study in America about diamonds which is quite illuminating. The survey very clearly came up with the fact that most women get diamonds as engagement rings. In fact the count was four out of every five women. Diamonds surely seem to be a girl’s best friend – or so 80% seem to be telling the world.

So what about the size of the diamond that most are choosing? Seems that many were looking at and buying diamonds that were at least one carat and spending over $3500 on the ring – and this was quite a chunk of the amount they would be spending on the wedding.

Considering that it was only in the late nineteenth century that diamonds and engagement rings became popular – thanks in no small measure to the DeBeers advertising blitzkrieg – diamonds do seem to have come a long way. Today, the diamond, especially a solitaire on an engagement ring is the dream that blossoms in every young girl’s heart and the line ‘A Diamond Is Forever’ has acquired an almost legend-like status. It was probably just the right pitch at the right time and soon the diamond engagement ring became so much a part of the courtship-marriage ritual all over the world.
