Jewels, Precious Stones, Wedding Bands, Engagement Rings

Shells and animals' teeth were some of the first materials to be worn as body jewellery. Italian sculptors trained as goldsmiths when gold was first discovered in the late 1800s. Diamonds were found in mines at about the same time and these two materials were combined to make what we know today as Engagement Rings , wedding rings and all different types of jewellery. The costs of mining metals like platinum and gold is very expensive and that is why silver jewellery is cheaper as silver is easier to find and extract from the earth. Diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds, which are the most popular precious stones to make up engagement rings are expensive to buy, because they too are scarce and can be expensive to mine. A ring shape is thought to be protective, magical and as a continuous band it is supposed to keep out anything which is negative, therefore a source of strength. Necklaces which are also ring shaped, and worn near the heart, were thought to work on peoples' emotions and attract and strengthen love. Wearing earrings was a symbol of slavery many, many years ago, as slaves wore them to let people know what their line of work was and who they belonged to. Cleopatra favoured emerald gemstones and her emerald mines were the first mines on earth.



Diamond Eternity Ring

All the months of the year have gems as symbols and diamonds represent the month of April. A solitaire diamond, classic, round and brilliant cut engagement rings is very popular and the setting which can be plain or twisted into different forms allows the maximum amount of light to pass through the stone. A cluster of diamonds on a ring is also individually hand crafted to a very high standard and is quite unique. Platinum and gold are the best bands to use for wedding and other rings as they are more durable than other materials and protect the precious stone. Engagement rings or wedding ring is an extremely special piece of jewellery and one of the most important you will ever buy, so it is crucial that the correct decision is made at the outset. Any jewellery bought is chosen to suit the individual and as everyone's taste is so different, no two people will be seen together wearing the same necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings or watches. Watches again are purely a personal choice and there are millions of different designs, colours, styles and prices. Fashionable digital watches seem to be more popular with young people these days and are affordable, whilst designer, underwater and classic watches are bought by an older generation.. Watches come with leather straps, brightly coloured plastic straps or bangles. If an item is purchased from a reputable jeweller and there is a problem with the size or the fitting, there should be no difficulty in returning the piece to be adjusted to fit the individual’s personal needs.
