A Newbie Blogger Introduction

Hi there


Thanks for visiting my blog and maybe giving it a read!

The truth is ;I'm not an experienced writer nor blogger!I am actually writing this blog as part of my training in an internet marketing tutotial. In my experience I have found it much easier to learn a subject, if one enjoys and has fun learning it!

In my tutorial I was directed to copy and paste information from various sources. Yes that would be easy and fast, but I thought it would be fun to just write it myself.Hence ,having a little fun learning.

My momma raised me to be polite and not interupt others as they speak.This upbringing has influenced my personal communications. I am a better listener than a talker. As a result I don't engage in idle conversation regularly. Here I get to hold the floor and carry the conversation. Thus I find this venue interesting and a rare chance to voice my thoughts and opinions uninterupted.

Momma didn't raise no dumbies either! When I do speak in conversation, what comes out of my mouth is usually of substance or interest. This, plus my listening skills, has brought many of my friends,family and colleages to me for my advice and opinions. As this is my first self written blog, I think I'll just keep it sweet and simple and end it here. I will be entering more in the future and plan to write as many myself as time permits. Some of coarse will be the generic marketing ones ,as my tutrial requests. But I hope you have enjoyed my little blog and check back again to see if I've written something of interest to you.

On a final note, I shall promote my site, as my lesson dictates. I didn't try to use subliminal or repititious phrases! I'm just going to come out and say it. The site I am promoting,is an articles site. Its called "infomation place". I invite you to browse the site and read a few articles.


Thanks for reading and hopefully read yours soon.

DIAMONDS AND JEWELRY A LADIES BEST FRIEND

Tips On Buying Diamond Wedding Rings - Ensure Quality And Purity by Greath Owen

Presenting a diamond ring is, for many men, one of the biggest issues at the start of conjugal life. So it matters greatly to make sure the wedding ring you purchase and present is of the bestquality, no matter how much or less it costs. Keeping in mind certain things while shopping around for diamond wedding rings will help decide on the perfect ring for your bride.

Here follows some tips and tricks: Buy with real experience Buy diamonds having a first-hand experience. Look at them first and compare with other diamonds.The beauty of a diamond cannot be sufficiently captured in words. So, it's silly to decide on a diamond only by reading about it.

Feel comfortable. Trust your own instinct. The atmosphere of quality jewelry stores should be comfortable, making your shopping a pleasurable and singular experience.

Utilize available technology Understand exactly what you are buying. When at a shop, look at the selected stones with a microscope, not with a loupe. The defects of diamonds will emerge more clearly though a microscope.

Get service from professionals. Make sure the sales consultant showing you the diamonds is a trained Gemologists or Diamondtologists. A properly educated consultant can make your diamond shopping simple and fun. Also make sure that the jeweler specializes in diamonds, not a part-timer claming specialty. In fact, there aren't any half-time diamond specialists.

Buy separately, Purchase the diamond loose, not as part of an already mounted ring. Buy the diamond and the setting separately to get good value and a bigger diamond.
Learn the four Cs. Learn the cut, color, clarity, and carat weight of your diamond.

Learn also about diamond shapes and certifications. Doing a little research on the web is enough. Get proper gradation. Select a diamond that is graded in accordance with the GIA standards. See if the jeweler is an AGS member. If you are in the USA, then buy from a jeweler who is a member of the American Gem Society. The AGS is the most prestigious association in the jewelry society. They ensure that all its members observe strict regulations while selling diamonds and are ethical in diamond business.

Verify certification. Choose a diamond that comes with an independent diamond certification from a credible laboratory. Don't forget to ask for the certificate.

Get life-time warranty free. Best jewelers will get you a free lifetime warranty without any extra payment for additional years of coverage. So ask for it without a second thought.

Get money-back warranty. Your diamond purchase should come with a thirty day money back guarantee from trustworthy jewelry stores.

Ask her choice. Finally, make it about her, your lifetime soul mate, and don't let anyone else in a jewelry store tell you otherwise. This is the time of your life to win her heart forever.

Fine Diamond Jewelry: At The Heart Of A Great Real-Life Love Story by Jeff Paul

If anyone has ever wondered why the trade of fine diamond jewelry continues to do well to this day, despite it being a non-essential commodity and arguably the luxury of luxuries, then the answer lies in the latter characteristics just stated. Diamonds sell precisely because no one needs them to survive. For anyone to save up a sizeable amount of money to buy something as luxurious as diamonds for a loved one shows the recipient just how much her presence in the giver's life is valued.

Take, for example, the story of the legendary Taylor-Burton diamond. Unearthed at the Premier mine of South Africa in 1966 and cut and polished by master jeweler Harry Winston, it was reduced from its original 241 carats to an exquisitely pear-shaped 69 carats. The diamond was originally owned by Harriet Annenberg Ames, who sold it off in an auction to eventual winner Robert Kenmore,owner of the luxury brand Cartier, for a record $1,050,000. Cartier then placed it into a necklace, creating one of the most lavish samples of fine diamond jewelry ever.

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were happily married back then, and as a symbol of Burton's love for Taylor, he immediately bought the necklace. A delighted Taylor wore it publicly for the first time to Princess Grace of Monaco's 40th birthday celebration, where the Taylor-Burton diamond necklace almost outshone the beauty of its bearer and indeed of practically all the other ladies at the party. And while the diamond itself has already changed hands, the name Taylor-Burton remains as a reminder of the absolute love this unique diamond piece once represented.

But the legacy of love symbolized by the Taylor-Burton lives on in every fine diamond jewelry piece from DiamondSafe.com. Each piece is certified and handcrafted by some of the world's finest gemologists and artisans to assure that these will be gifts that never stop giving.

How to Choose the Right Diamonds for that Special Someone by Jeff Paul



Diamonds are one of the most beloved gemstones in the world, worn as jewelry by both men and women. Jewelers incorporate these stones into rings, earrings, necklaces, and other ornaments.

People give them as gifts for a variety of occasions, including anniversaries, birthdays, and Valentine's Days. The diamond remains a popular gift, and there is never a bad time to give them.

They are also useful for things other than adornment. Cutting tools, like saw blades, and lasers all use diamonds.

If you are going to purchase a diamond for someone special, remember that doing so involves more than just picking out a stone that you think looks nice. It helps to know quite a bit about the likes and dislikes of the person for whom you are buying.

In addition to knowing about the recipient's personality, you will also need to know a bit about the color, cut, clarity, and carat of the diamond. These are known as the "4 Cs." Diamonds come in a rainbow of colors, like green, pink, blue, yellow, and even black. However, the traditional clear diamond seems to remain one of the most popular. This is the color seen most often in engagement rings.

The cut of a diamond refers to how the diamond is shaped. Many popular styles exist, like the pillow, oval, and princess cuts. Clarity refers to the diamond's clarity, and if it sports visible flaws.
Carat measures the size of the diamond. People who are on the hunt for diamonds should check out DiamondSafe.com.
