Basic Cleaning Tips for Diamond Rings & Other Jewelry

July 2nd, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Jewelry - (0 Comments)

jewelryLike with many other accessories you wear on a regular basis – i.e. watches – you should bring your precious jewelry to a jeweler for professional care and cleaning.  These jewelry experts have been handling precious metals, diamonds, and gemstones for a very long time and know how to properly maintain your jewelry without damaging it.  But between professional cleanings you should make your own efforts to take care of and clean your jewelry.  Here are a few basic cleaning tips.

  • For diamonds:  Use a non-metallic brush with soft bristles.  Dip it in a mild ammonia and water solution and gently wipe away any grime you find on the diamond.  Dirty buildup will usually occur around the prongs and setting.  This cleaning method will also remove the thin layer of skin oil that has accumulated due to constant use.  When wearing it try not to touch the actual diamond.
  • For the metal itself:  Use alcohol to clean metals like gold and silver but be careful not to use it on pearl jewelry.  That said, simple soap and water with a very soft brush will usually get the job done.  Use a soft cloth to dry and buff your jewelry.

These are but a number of tried and true methods of cleaning diamond rings and the other kinds of jewelry.

Making an Impression with a Gemstone Ring

June 26th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in gemstone jewelry | gemstone rings | Jewelry - (0 Comments)

gemstone ringsRings, especially engagement rings, are very symbolic items to give someone you care deeply for.  The circular design of a ring can represent the never-ending bond between the giver and the receiver.  This is why engagement rings are the standard when a man wishes to propose to a woman.  This is part of the reason why when a man gives a woman a ring – notice it is not a necklace or earrings, but a ring – her mind automatically goes to the idea that he wants her hand in marriage.  While most people go with the standard clear diamond, you might consider giving her a colored gemstone ring instead.

Gemstone rings are a great way to make the gift and the moment that much more memorable; very few people actually choose a gemstone engagement ring when they mean to propose to a longtime love.  With a colored gemstone you can match it to her favorite color or her birth month; you can even match it to the month you proposed to her or when you intend to have the ceremony!  This is the kind of outside-the-box thinking that will make your marriage proposal that much more special and one she will share with all her friends and family.

Buying Gemstone Jewelry for My Mother

January 30th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in gemstone jewelry | gemstone rings - (0 Comments)

Gemstone jewelryMy mom’s birthday is right around the corner so I am thinking about buying her some gemstone jewelry.  Her birth month is February so that means her birth stone is amethyst.  The beautiful violet gemstone will look wonderful as part of a set of earrings, necklace, and/or a ring.

She is a big fan of necklaces so I think I will buy her a gold necklace with a pendant.  In the center of the pendant will be a modest size amethyst gemstone.  If at all possible I will also buy her a matching set of earrings.  Of course, there will be amethysts incorporated into the earrings.

Gemstone rings and the like make excellent gifts for loved ones.  Giving the gift of jewelry to someone is always appreciated but you can make it even more meaningful if you add a birthstone.  By adding a birthstone you convey the feeling of understanding and appreciation to the person you are giving it to.  When you give someone jewelry as a gift, you show them how valuable they are to you.  Both the act and the item combined is the perfect combination.  Add a gemstone that relates to the person in question and it makes the gift that much more meaningful.

How She Wore Ruby Jewelry

January 9th, 2012 | Posted by daniela in gemstone jewelry - (0 Comments)

gemstone jewelryI placed the ruby jewelry in her hand, watched her long fingers enclose it, and reach around me for an embrace. Her eyes shimmered with mystery and pleasure, as though she felt like precious jewelry herself, desired, rare. And proudly she put the ruby earrings delicately into her ear, and slowly turned her head from side to side, so that the gems refracted light, sparkling.

“How do I look?”

I knew that the lapidary had only done so much, that she really did wear them well and that if it weren’t for the way the gemstone jewelry sat on her soft ear lobes, under her silken brown tresses, they would be special, of course, but as they set, they were desirable. I wanted them for myself; in a bizarre fleeting twist of fancy, I wanted them for me, and by association, I wanted her.

“Beautiful.” She smiled, expecting nothing less. She would have like for me to’ve kept going, but I couldn’t give her anything more. At such a point, the only effective compliment would’ve been understatement, and with that I risked offending her. So I did the next best thing — I put my hands on her soft cheeks and passionately kissed her mouth.

The Diamond Tennis Bracelet

January 2nd, 2012 | Posted by daniela in gemstone jewelry - (0 Comments)

diamond tennis braceletThe diamond tennis bracelet has an interesting story behind it. 25 years ago, there was no distinguishing an ordinary diamond bracelet from its thinner counterpart. But when Chris Evert, the world’s former No. 1 women’s tennis player was playing in the 1987 U.S. Open, her slim diamond tennis bracelet broke. The match was paused to allow her to collect the spilled diamonds. Afterward, all diamond tennis bracelets of a thin, lightweight style were called tennis bracelets. Even today, stars such as Serena Williams wear diamond tennis bracelets on the court and off.

These bracelets are so popular because they are elegant, easy to wear, and light enough to feel comfortable in when wearing evening dress or more casual clothing. Because diamonds are colorless they are easy to pair with dark and light colors, as well as other jewelry, such as yellow diamond rings or other colored gemstone rings.

Diamond jewelry in general is one of the best ways to exude class and gentility. And the style of the diamond tennis bracelet symbolizes a more active lifestyle than the traditional diamond earrings or diamond pendant; it’s a more modern style of jewelry wear which makes it considerably more appealing for the active woman.

Are You Ready to Buy Emerald Jewely?

December 28th, 2011 | Posted by daniela in gemstone jewelry - (0 Comments)

emerald jewelryIt usually takes a few dates before you’re willing to buy her emerald jewelry, but if you decide to, chances are she’s worth it. But if you’re unsure, there’s no rush. Here are a few tips to help you know that she’s worth gemstone rings.

You don’t make each other jealous. Jealousy is a red flag that never winds up well.

You were raised similarly. This may sound vague and it is, but if you’ve ever had a talk about the differences in how you were raised, i.e. the things you’re used to in character  not being what she’s used to in a person, perhaps you don’t have what it takes to make it work long-term.

You share the same politics. This is by far the most subjective tip on this list, but you know that when you share political views, you are working from the same foundation. Usually that foundation is strong enough to support a long-term relationship.

Of course there’s nothing wrong with buying emerald jewelry for the one you love, even when you know or don’t care whether it’s going to work in the long run. If you’re buying gemstone rings to celebrate the moment, so be it. Just don’t ask for them back.

The Power of a Diamond Tennis Bracelet

December 12th, 2011 | Posted by daniela in gemstone jewelry - (0 Comments)

diamond tennis braceletSometimes when you feel weird and sad and you remember your last love and all the nice yellow diamonds you bought her, you feel alone. But life has the oddest habit of working in waves, or to paraphrase Bob Dylan, to show the deepest dark before the light. You may soon find yourself with someone new, who is better than you possibly thought they could be and now you want to thank them for coming into your life, for showing up at just the right minute. Consider a diamond tennis bracelet.

This small token is enough to express how much this person means to you. And like all jewelry, it will conjure memories of you whenever they put it on and all those feelings of adoration and love will come flooding back. That is the power of memory, which is both fortunate and compelling– it can recall the saddest and hardest times of our lives as well as the sweetest and best. But the best thing about a diamond tennis bracelet or yellow diamond rings, for example, is that they remind you that you’re alive. They give you a rush of feeling, and that feeling is it, is what makes life.

Gemstone Jewelry From My Mom For My Girl

December 6th, 2011 | Posted by daniela in gemstone jewelry - (0 Comments)

gemstone jewelry My mom has lots of jewelry, from gemstone rings to fancy yellow diamonds. Luckily she birthed two boys, which means that we get her jewelry when she dies. She’s not moribund so this isn’t a sad thought, and she herself brought it up so it’s not like I’m hoping for her death so I can have her riches. Then why would I want her gemstone rings?

I have a beautiful girlfriend. She’s very desirable; whenever we go out to dinner she always makes me look good, finds herself at the center of attention, and generally attracts looks from other men. Such is the way of beautiful women. In the past my girlfriend had a rich boyfriend, who was much older, who had bought her diamonds and pearls. Now she doesn’t ask of me those gifts since she knows it would be futile, seeing as how I’m not a banker, but I know that she likes presents — who doesn’t?

Here is where all my mom’s gemstone jewelry comes in. Because she has too much to wear, she gives me a piece at each holiday and birthday to give to my loved one. This saves me thousands, and makes me look good in my lady’s eyes. I just hope we don’t break up, Mom wouldn’t be too pleased…

Diamond Jewelry Makes Me Feel Queenly

November 29th, 2011 | Posted by daniela in gemstone jewelry - (0 Comments)

diamond jewelrySometimes when I put on my emerald jewelry and sapphire jewelry, I imagine myself a Malaysian queen atop a throne, ears gold- bangled as my underlings fan me with palm fronds and I splay my gemstone jewelry -encrusted fingers. The rings protect me from any negative energy those at court may harbor toward me. I am calm and collected  and regal and stately, and I wear my jewelry as a queen ought, full of confidence and bearing all the while knowing that her subjects admire and want to be her; and yet underneath all of the gems I retain a sense of modesty, that although I am worthier than any who approach me, I am yet not so removed from humanity as to condescend to or lack sympathy for a forlorn subject.

And as I turn from my mirror back into my closet to choose which shoes to wear, I begin to understand how thousands of beautiful women before me have felt, desired and good, full of the power to enact righteousness and deliver censure. As I turn to admire myself and my diamond jewelry one last time before entering the outside world, I am shaken from my dream, and I return to the 21st century, proud to wear stones that have seen so many more days than I.

Can You Wear Gemstone Jewelry From Your Ex?

November 21st, 2011 | Posted by daniela in gemstone jewelry - (0 Comments)

gemstone ringsI’ve had a few serious boyfriends. They’ve given me many nice things over the years, such as gemstone rings and ruby jewelry. But when my new boyfriend proposed with beautiful gemstone jewelry, I knew I couldn’t wear the old stuff and feel the same way about it.

When I wore the emerald jewelry one of my exes gave me, I never told my fiancee it was from my ex. He probably wouldn’t like to hear that even though he’s not the jealous type, which is why I love him. But, one ring I used to wear would remind me of my ex and all those old feelings of youthful love and whimsy came rushing back to me. I don’t wear that one often. In fact, now I’ll probably never wear it. And so, I’m thinking about what to do.

I have three piles of jewelry: ex stuff that makes me think about them, ex stuff that doesn’t make me think about them, and jewelry my fiancee has given me. So what I’ll do is sell the stuff that makes me feel really strongly still, wear in a carefree way the diamond earrings my other ex gave me, and obviously wear the jewelry my fiancee has given me. And if he asks about jewelry he never gave me, I’ll tell him a white lie and say it came from the family.
