Lemon Quartz: Doesn’t It Look Great?

Zina 18K White Gold Lemon Quartz & Khaki Topaz Ring

One thing that I love about jewelry is that there truly are so many different styles available and you truly can find something for everyone – take this beautiful ring for example.  This ring is something that is not only beautiful in every possible way but it is also extremely rare.  For those of you that do not know, this ring actually has lemon quartz in it and lemon quartz alone is extremely rare to find … anywhere.

Now of course, there is not just lemon quartz on I, there is also a khaki topaz as well as quite a few diamonds and white gold.  Personally, I love white gold.  I think that it is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and I think that yellow gold is just overrated all over the place.

So what are you looking for this anniversary?  Well guys, I think your lady will like this piece right here – it’s only $930.00!

Vintage Ring

After you have figured out your budget, the next step is going to be choosing the setting.  This is going to be the hard part as there really are a whole lot of different settings.  This is another thing that you are going to have to research but to be honest, hint around with your girlfriend about it.  Ask her what rings she likes and heck, you could even take her jewelry shopping and casually head over to the engagement ring area.

The ring style is going to be one of the most important things as this is going to be something that she is going to be wearing all of the time.  You certainly do not want something that looks like it came out of a gumball machine and you do not want a diamond that she can barely see right?

All right, now that you have decided to pop the question, the next thing that you are doing to want to do, is figure out your budget.  Honestly, engagement rings do not grow on trees and most of the time, they are super expensive, so you definitely want to make sure that you find the right engagement ring for the right price.

This is where you researching nose should come in handy.  Making sure that you are finding the best possible deal in the world is something that should be pretty easy.  Make sure that you utilize the internet as much as possible, that way you can definitely ensure that you are getting the very best deal.

What a lot of men do not know is that the rule of thumb when it comes to engagement rings is that you should want to spend upwards of two months salary on an engagement ring.  Personally, I would not do that and I would put a cap on the ring of about $2,000.00, but that is just me.  More to come!

img-thing

Okay folks, so I had to do one more ring so you can see just how kick ass this designer really is; not only was that other ring something of complete and utter beauty, but this ring right here – oh man, it is definitely breathtaking. 

One thing about De Grisogono is the fact that he loves … love customer jewelry.  The bigger the better and while most people can not carry it off, if you can, you should!

This piece is absolutely and positively breathtaking and I swear, if I had enough money to get myself one of these beautiful gems I would.  So if you have the money – get yourself one!

De Grisogono: This Designer Kicks Butt!

De Grisogono

Whenever I am looking for something unique, especially in the way of jewelry, I turn to De Grisogono.  Seriously, google this guy and you will see all sorts of jewelry that you will never, ever see anywhere else and to be honest, I like that part of it. 

It is one thing to design jewelry and do it well but it is quite another to design jewelry that no one else in the world can really match.  Really – can you match that beautiful ring?  Probably not!

De Grisogono is by far one of the most unique jewelers out there and really, even as I am staring at the ring I am posting here, I have to say that it really does not do him justice.  There are so many other pieces out there but this one is by far one of the most different pieces.  So check him out!

Gucci Rings: They Are Hot!

Personally, I did not think that Gucci’s talent would move over to the jewelry aisle, but here we are ladies and gentlemen … this ring is absolutely beautiful and it is definitely a statement.  Whenever you are wearing Gucci, there really is something to be said about you and certainly something that you are doing right.  Gucci is by far, the best of the best in the fashion world and if you walk around flashing this beautiful Gucci ring, you will definitely make a statement.

Whenever you get anything that is Gucci, it is a statement but generally, you can not wear your wallet on your finger for everyone to see.  Now, you can make a louder statement by flashing that you have an official Gucci ring at your disposal!

So now that you see the ring, what do you people think about it?  I think it is beautiful, but that’s just my opinion … leave me a comment with some options!

So we all know that springtime is by far the time for weddings.  May, June even July are just a few of the most popular times in the year to get married.  While most blushing brides focus their energy on their dress, most of them forget about the jewelry!  Well ladies, think about the jewelry that you are going to wear on your wedding day, it is very important!

Vera Wang is now trying her hand at wedding jewelry and if you look at this pretty little piece, you will see just how much she is succeeding.  Personally, I think that this beautiful necklace is one of the prettiest things in the world.  I think that is looks like a combination of something old and something new.

This necklace has a very old-time feel to it but it is definitely modern.  The diamonds are incredible and I love the little pearl at the bottom, because we all know that pearls right now are very in!
