When it comes to purchasing diamonds online or at a physical store, most people are clueless about the things to look out for and how to protect themselves from making a bad purchase. You can’t really blame them. The thing is, purchasing a diamond isn’t something you would do on a regular basis unless there’s a special occasion coming up. And like many of you, I had been through the same experience and I understand how it feels to be making a big purchase that is hinged with uncertainty. Chances are, when you landed on this website, you are probably trying to do your own research or looking for shopping tips before hitting the stores.

Diamond Care

Diamonds do not have a shelf life. If you kept a diamond for a hundred years, it would still have the same brilliance and sparkle as it had when you bought it. That’s due to their stable and inert chemical structure. Interestingly, diamonds are also the hardest material on Earth but that doesn’t mean they are invincible. In fact, they are prone to cracking, chipping and other kinds of physical damage if proper care isn’t taken when wearing them. When most people shop for an engagement ring, they often forget that the proper care of a diamond actually starts from the choice/design of their setting.

From ultra-glam to sophisticated simplicity: How to choose just the right jewelry for a sexy, strapless dress. You’ve found the perfect dress: a gorgeous, strapless number that complements your figure and makes you feel more than a bit glamorous. You even have the shoes. But, like many (all) of us who don’t have a personal stylist to add that je ne sais quoi touch to make an outfit really spectacular, you may be wavering on what jewelry to wear. Don’t fret. By following a few simple guidelines, you’ll be sure to accessorize your bombshell dress with just the right jewelry pieces. Be dramatic A strapless dress is all about drama. A good rule of thumb is to select jewelry that doesn’t compete with that drama; rather, it enhances it.
