| | Amethyst Jewellery Origins | | 2008-05-21 08:09:51 | | According to mythology the Amethyst inspires a love of fairness, a sense of duty and a devotion to high ideals. It was therefore chosen to be used in some of the principal ecclesiastical rings and even today is worn by Bishops. The Amethyst was also a stone of English royalty. The first king to wear Amethyst as a royal emblem was Edward the Confessor in the early 11th century. Amethyst is also said to be Saint Valentine's favourite stone. His ring was engraved with a cupid and he made the Amethyst popular for lovers. The actual name Amethyst comes from the Greek and means "not drunken".Amethyst jewellery A magnificent, 26 inch long Amethyst necklace made by ancient Egyptians is still in existence. Another, excavated in Greece is believed to have been owned by a Mycenaean princess 3,400 years ago. Victorian jewellery favoured the Amethyst, set in Gold and often surrounded by Pearls.

| | Garnet Jewellery Origins | | 2008-05-21 07:49:26 | | The word Garnet comes from the Latin and refers to a resemblance to the seeds of the pomegranate. The finest stones have an unblemished transparency and glow like a smouldering fire. This could give credence to the legend that Noah lit the Ark with a Garnet. The ancient Egyptians saw it as a symbol of life and in the middle ages the Garnet was thought to be a remedy for feverish illness. In India & Persia the Garnet was considered to have preventative powers and was worn as an amulat to protect the wearer from poison, plague and lightening.Garnet jewellery By the middle of the 3rd century BC the Greeks favoured massive Gold rings set with Garnets wider than the finger. During the Roman period carved gemstones appeared, often Garnets. During the 18th century Garnets were mounted on simple hoops, possiblr forerunners of the eternity ring. In Victorian times cabuchon Garnet rings were popular. The surface of the dome was often decorated with a star of tiny seed pearls.Garnets, these t | | By: Diamond Rings and Costume Jewellery | | |

| Pearl Jewellery Origins Collection | | 2008-05-21 07:44:15 | | The sparkling beauty of a strand of pearls has held the attention of brides for millennia. The ancient Greeks believed that wearing pearls would promote marital bliss and prevent newlywed women from crying. Julius Caesar banned women below a certain rank from wearing Pearls as they were considered the prized emblems of nobility. Moslems are told in the Koran that the trees of paradise are hung with Pearls. During the Crusades in the Middle Ages, pearls were the gift of choice for a knight to give to his lady. During the 14th and 15th centuries, royal wedding scenes closely resembled a sea of pearls, with everyone from the bride down to her male guests adorned with impressive arrays of pearl Jewelery.In modern times, cultured pearls have graced such 20th century brides as Queen Elizabeth II, the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor.

| | Aquamarine Jewellery Origins | | 2008-05-21 07:40:17 | | The name Aquamarine means sea water. According to the ancients the spirit of hope and the promise of better things to come were contained in its mystic powers. In past centuries the Aquamarine was worn as an amulate against harm or accident because it was believed to be the stone of safety. The Aquamarine is also known as the gem of eternal youth and is considered a lucky gem bringing solace and comfort in times of stress and violence. In the middle ages it was called the magic mirror and soothsayers used it for telling fortunes.View our Aquamarine Jewellery collection.Aquamarine jewelery During the Roman period many fantastic jewellery designs appeared.

| | Diamond Jewellery Origins | | 2008-05-21 07:37:48 | | The word "diamond" is derived from the Greek "adamas", meaning indomitable. In the Middle Ages the diamond was thought to be a protection against the plague, Queen Elizabeth I wore one in her bosom to protect against infection. Napoleon, another believer in its mystic powers, had the famous Regent diamond in in the hilt of the sword he carried at his coronation. The diamond has the legendary power of protecting the wearer form evil, especially when worn on the left side. This belief may well have added to the choice of a diamond for an engagement ring. Continuing the marital theme there is a superstition that a gift of a diamond "quickens the affection and restores love between husband and wife".From statements in an old Indian manuscript of the first century B.C. it is thought that the diamond was known in India during the Buddhist period of about 400 B.C. The earliest recorded diamond engagement ring was given to Mary of Burgundy in 1477 by her fiance, Maximillian of Hapsburg. It was | | By: Diamond Rings and Costume Jewellery | | |

| | Diamond Jewellery For Engagement | | 2008-04-07 14:06:57 | | Diamond is Forever and EternityDiamond is perceived as the most precious of all precious stones and is peerless. It is a woman’s best friend and a symbol of love. It shines and glitters and symbolizes purity and strength.In ancient times, a diamond was considered to be a sign of magic, sanctity, healing, energy, happiness, beauty, and longevity when used, but the saying goes that a diamond is poison when consumed. It was known for its goodness and power to remove all evil. In today’s world, a diamond is regarded as a status symbol, an ornament of beauty worn by the rich and depicts a luxurious lifestyle. A diamond is forever. You would have heard this. The reason for this saying is because it is the hardest natural material and very difficult to break. It is also a good conductor of heat and a nonconductor of electricity. It is another form of dark carbon.Tag: 18ct 24 anniversary bracelets Bridal carat Diamond Jewellery Earrings gift Gold grades Jewellery Necklace Pendants Platinu | | By: Diamonds Are Forever | | |
| | Jewellery Art Decorating One’s Body | | 2008-04-06 04:33:56 | | Beauty has always been an ideal that people have strived to attain. Whether moral or physical, beauty revealed itself as a goal, but also as a means to improve one’s life from several points of view. Consequently, jewellery proved to be an excellent tool for achieving that ideal. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and so many others, became in time a symbol of wealth, of elegance, of status, of belonging to a certain social group. People are inclined to associate jewellery with precious metals or stones. This tendency is partially justified, as the common techniques of producing jewellery involves using such material, or replace it with another that imitates the genuine one. Nevertheless, one thing we should know is that the material of jewellery is carved in does not give its entire value. For instance, religious jewellery such as medallions, crosses or rosaries can be just as well made from wood, as their worth is not an earthly one.The cultural significance of jewellery has met | | By: Diamond Rings and Costume Jewellery | | |

| | Career In Jewellery Designing | | 2008-03-20 04:08:00 | | ON THE back of a sizzling growth of the organised jewellery industry, striking job openings and exciting entry-level salaries, many specialised institutes catering to the industry have mushroomed in the recent past. It's a fine era to consider jewellery designing as a career preference.India is the largest gems and jewellery market in the world (the domestic market is Rs 63,000 crore), but largely in the unorganised sector with a significant focus on gold. With the entry of big players like Tanishq, Swarovski, DeBeers, D'- damas, the shifting thrust on gems and stones rather than pure gold is giving a big push to the organised gems and jewellery industry.Your grandma's old jewellery may be treasured and pricey heirlooms, but they simply do not hold a candle to the existing styles being worn.

| | Caring for your jewellery | | 2007-11-21 12:40:42 | | Jewellery StorageAll jewellery should be stored individually - storing more than one piece of jewellery in a container or pouch is destructive, as the pieces will scratch and abrade each other. Diamonds can scratch any other gemstone; and rubies and sapphires can scratch other softer gemstones, such as emeralds, opals, and pearls. The shiny lustre of gold surfaces can be scratched by constant abrading with other gold or gemstones. It is recommended that each piece be wrapped or packaged individually before being placed in a common container.CleaningJewellery can get discoloured and dirty - clean your jewellery through a jeweller or ask an expert to recommend cleaning for that particular type of jewellery. Cleaning methods will differ according to the type of jewellery and the stones it contains.Care of Diamonds and GemstonesTake care of your jewellery - don't wear it when you are doing housework or other activities which might damage the piece.Gems and precious metals are gifts of nature which need special care. Even though a gem may be millions of years old, once mined and worn, it is exposed to conditions and chemicals that can damage it. The harder the gem, the less vulnerable it is to potential damage. Hardness is based on a gem-trade standard called the Mohs Scale, developed in the early 19th century. A diamond, for example, is the hardest gem known to man, one of the reasons why "it is forever."Diamonds and other gemstones, in spite of their hardness, can be damaged, chipped or even shattered if struck against a hard surface with sufficient force. So naturally, rings should be removed when working around machinery or during other work that might damage them, including working with harsh chemicals. It is also advisable to have the mounting checked once a year to make sure it has not become loose. This service is provided gratis by most jewellers.Pearls - Always store your pearls separately from other jewellery. Ideally, pearls should be stored in | | By: Sri Lanka Jewelers | | |

| | Irresponsible jewellery shop staff | | 2007-03-18 16:05:00 | | Happened to pass by Eastlink mall and was disgusted by the mess left behind by staff from a jewellery shop. This booth was set up for some time to gain the most out from the healthy traffic of the area.This T**a jewellery shop booth attendants should have the responsiblity to clear up the mess. Corporate ethics should be observed. | | By: My Encounters, My Life | | |
