Fine Jewelry

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

I had a recent financial windfall and decided to make myself look good in the wife’s eyes by buying her some jewelry. During my quest to find that gift I found there is a difference between jewelry and fine jewelry and it goes beyond price. Fine jewelry is typically jewelry that is made from the best metals and stones available so for example a 14k gold ring would probably not be considered fine jewelry but a 18k gold ring would. This is a pretty simple example but just take a look at any website selling luxury jewelry and then look at a site like Zales.com and you will see the difference.

Yes, price is a differentiation between fine or lux jewelry and jewelry but it’s not the only difference. If you have the money to spend on quality, take the time to look for a fine jewelry store, you will be so happy you did.

Free Engagement Ring

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

Talking with some friends on Facebook the other night and one noted they were going to “pop the question” but hadn’t found an engagement ring yet.  Now I’m not a fashion expert and certainly not a wedding consultant but I know a good deal when I see one and that I did.  While search Facebook for engagement rings I saw an ad for a engagement ring giveaway.  Hey free is great right?  Well, I tend to think that way but to make sure this wasn’t some kind of scam I did some additional research and found out indeed the company was giving away a free engagement ring.

The Sylvie Collection is a collection of diamond jewelry that includes engagement rings and wedding bands and as part of their marketing plan to establish their brand they are giving away a engagement ring.  It’s very simple to take advantage of this you simply fan them on their Facebook page.  This particular giveaway starts on January 1st, 2011 and runs through Valentines day so don’t delay but watch out my buddy has already entered and he’s determined the ring is his.
