It's not about the value of course, each of them has their own value in the market but this is not what this article is about.
It doesn't matter what the value of the parts in a specific jewelry, what matters is the way everything is getting together to form this amazing thing that called jewelry. So when you look at a specific element of an earring you always try to find the most perfect thing to put in that spot whether it's the kind of precious stone it's shape color etc. or the kind of metal that fit best for a specific combination of elements.
Gold has always been the favorite when it comes to rings especially wedding bands, but when you look at earrings the perspective change you'll see that gold is not that popular in comparison to other metals. Silver has always been a popular among those who cannot afford 24K Gold and if you try to judge by the general public this will always have an extreme effect on the result in the market, the reason is simply because most people don't have enough money to purchase a jewelry with that kind of metal, and the purer the metal the less people will wear it.
A clear example would be Platinum, it's definitely more expensive than gold and silver and to many it's also a lot nicer too, still it's not that popular even in wedding bands and it's obvious why since this is only because it's just way too expensive for most of the public to get and wear.
I wish I could say this in a more clearer way so whoever read this would understand the concept that more expensive things have less consumer base.
This is why popularity is not the way to judge what is better especially when we talk about jewelry it's important to understand that the way to judge which kind of metal is better whether gold or silver or platinum if not for the general public to choose since affordability is affecting the consumer base.
The only way to really appreciate how well every part of a specific jewelry like earrings and diamond rings etc. is the really looking how well everything is going together so for example if we look at the princess cut diamond earrings that we know that princess cut is very famous and the shape of the princess cut makes it go very well on earrings so we'd consider gold versus Silver would have to go and look how well it goes together with the princess cut diamond this is why you cannot consider only one kind of medal for a specific kind of precious stone cut.
Really though that's gold wedding bands are very popular and there is no reason to ask why because it's obvious for everyone who thinks about it for a second that people really appreciate the gold this is why the tradition of gold wedding band exists, in bracelets gold is not that popular as silver or any other metals. This is simply because bracelets are not that important as wedding bands so people buy that kind of metals that they can afford like silver and copper I don't want to assume that silver and copper is way more better even though it's popular since people buy it because they cannot afford the more expensive metal.

Princess Cut Diamond Earrings - Part 2
It seems to me that princess cut diamond earrings began to be very popular these days, the question is what happened that princess cut became so popular?
The fact is that the most popular cut in diamonds is the round brilliant!
Nothing will change that fact since this cut was created mathematically and is making the stone brighter.
This new princess cut is getting popular because of 2 main things:
1. The way this cut is made conserve more (physically) of the rough diamond.
2. The square shape of this cut gives it a more royalty feel to it, for some weird subconscious reason we perceived the square to be of a better and higher style.
This shows that the popularity of the princess cut is basically psychological and it captured the eyes of many.
These days you can find princess cut jewelery all around, earrings, bracelets and rings are popular with this diamond cut.
Can you imagine how some weird 'inside' mechanisms can affect people's choices and likeness, it really did have a huge effect on the diamond jewelry market.
Anywhere you look and search you can find this princess cut.
As far as diamond earrings concerned princess cut does fit beautifully in place and the only thing you need for measuring is you naked eye!
It does in fact connected to how we as humans think about certain shapes in the right context of course, you can see how people adore how other things should look like and we all know what made them assume that it is the right and only way it should be it is caused by our past experience and how we grew out to be. and of course that we feel like certain things can make us happy but some of those things are very tiny and it is what kind of shape is really our preference and how does this affect us??

Princess Cut Diamond Earrings
It seems as though this cut is that famous that people would consider it the most popular of the various diamond cuts, the name of this cut is definitely better than the (might not be as famous but IS the most popular cut) round brilliant cut.
The round brilliant is the most used cut today on earrings necklaces rings and so on. The reason this cut is more popular is that it makes the diamond to shine like no other cut can, based on mathematics this cut makes the diamond brilliancy to be the highest possible by calculating the direction of the light rays through and on the gem.
By the name you'll know that this cut is round as oppose to the princess cut which is squarish with beveled corners. The princess cut makes a better cut in the way it uses more of the rough diamond in comparison to the round brilliant, it was invented by 3 Israelis in 1979 and got very popular quickly.
Some might think that the round brilliant is better for earrings than the princess cut, but as you might notice if you'll look around a bit you'll see that it is a very popular shape for diamond earrings and is actually very nice to look at. It's easier to judge when you think of something without seeing it but in practice many women like princess cut diamond earrings better than round brilliant diamond earrings.
This interest me when I think of things that the general public would like I do notice some similarities when you try to compare how strange things get favorite by so many people (with that it changes their status to be less strange and more common than other previously discovered things), it seem as if the more strange an idea or an object is it will gain popularity faster.
I would think that a square diamond is looking less charming than a round diamond but as you already know this is in fact not true, and the popularity of the princess cut diamond jewelry would stand to show how a lot and a major part of the jewelry wearing crowd does in fact like it.
It reminds me of a similar thing regarding jewellery that caught my attention as weird, I like the color of the white gold and I think that white gold earrings are the most beautiful of any other kind of earrings.
For a long time I thought I was unique in my admiration of this metal, imagine my surprise to hear that a few people around me like this with that much passion as well.
My conclusion of all this is that you might not like or agree with everyone else around you in regard to anything but still you might be attracted to the same things because of those deeper issues in the human thinking in wanting to be unique or being favored etc.
Anyhow to get back to the subject at hand, an idea I had was to see how those 2 exceptional things go together in the earings world. I wanted to see how a princess cut diamond would look like on a pair of white gold earrings.
Of course that was a huge success since this combination is a winner (though there is much to consider when choosing earring combinations this is without all the other things like shape design etc.) it's very popular among women and some might consider these the most beautiful earings ever. You shouldn't think of that as the only thing out there and there is a lot to be said regarding personal flavor and taste, still these are indeed a nice pair of 2 ideas.
Would she like what you're buying, that's out of my line of thought right now and you can look for things I wrote in the past regarding what she would prefer and what is needed when you are thinking on buying jewelry to your wife or girlfriend.
That's a long discussion right there and I might even do a separate article on that question alone, but I'll say a few thoughts that comes to mind when hearing this question.
First this is not a yes or no question there is no black and white when it comes to diamonds or choosing in general, you should always think of it in relations of what purpose you are trying to accomplish and what exactly you need.
The round brilliant is definitely a favorite in the precious stones world, because of it's unique characteristics it does look beautiful even when it's only a simple fake glass and most people would think it safe to go that way. But as you must know already that when it comes to what to wear women thinks differently and take it as a whole process of choosing and matching, so with this knowledge at hand you should consider what you are asking or maybe try to rephrase the question as it suppose to be asked.
Would she like princess cut or round brilliant cut?
Now it will be a bit easier since we are not talking about the ultimate truth between those 2 cuts, now the question is if a certain person would like this or that. As it happens a lot when trying to answer these type of questions you'll be mistakenly confidence with any answer you get, and this is as said before a mistake!
Try and look at it from a different perspective, it's not whether she like it or not but rather if it will fit her with the many things she got. This is not a definitive science (not even close) but you might know more than you care to admit on how to show her things she would like or how to present them in a way that will make her like that silver ring (even though it didn't cost that much or was any different than the other rings in the store)
I would like to go on with this subject later on in other articles anyway bye for now,
Bruce.

White Gold Diamond Earrings
Whenever you see a nice gold diamond earrings you always wonder whether a sterling set of earrings would be better, though it's not always like that still sometimes the gold doesn't look that good on earrings while buying a silvery earrings count sometimes as cheap.
An unknown solution that is hidden from most people is to just try other metals like platinum and such, but there is a hidden middle ground between gold and not golden color and that is the white gold!
If you'll try and check what most women wear you'll notice that gold earrings are not that popular as one might think, this is not because it's too expensive or too high class or whatever anyone can think but rather because the golden color is not as beautiful as the silver is for an earring. So most women prefer their earrings to be made of other metals than gold.
The silver on the other hand, not only that it brightens the beauty of the diamond and all the other precious stones without capturing all the attention to it, as oppose to gold that when is present it takes out of gems beauty by being more there than it should be.
What I mean is that when you look at a pair of gold diamond earrings your attention is captured by the beauty of the gold and of course by the gem itself, but unfortunately the gold should be more like a frame to the diamond to enhance the beauty of it and not to grab the show to himself.
While a silver diamond earrings are more emphasized on the rock than on the metal and making the viewer more focused on the center of the attention. Even though silver is that much better from a focused attention perspective, it still not that much subtle and nice to look at when it compared to white gold.
White gold will always win in this comparison since it's not that dramatic as silver and is very solid as a nice frame to the gem!
Thinking on earings like that and comparing the different metals has always been and will be depend on the eye of the beholder, while one sees gold as that and platinum as this it will be a thing to argue over a dinner or a weekend. All this without getting to any conclusion cause it all about what you like or not like, not what is true and what is false.
By this opinion on white gold I am discriminating a different type of gold which is the red gold. Some people don't know about it some heard the term but don't believe it exist, and out of those who do know about it there are a lot that don't like the color. I do like the color but I think that in earrings it is rare to see a great design that would include red gold and a diamond.
Perhaps a ruby would fit really well with it and you can try and look for something like that if you are really interested, though I haven't seen a really wonderful pair of red gold ruby earrings.
I find it very interesting the combination of the right gem with a complimentary metal to really shine and polish the beauty of it, cause while considering different combinations and looking into new ideas you can find things that the mind could not imagine and the eye will never be full of it. Those kind of things can make your heart swivel inside you (I know it's a weird word to say in this context).
Many words have been said on the beauty of the diamond and many other on the beauty of a woman, yet not too many words has been said (or at least not enough) on how they compliment each other. It seems as though one was created for the other, to shine on her and to beautify her.
Different types of jewelery were created to connect the two and they very on almost every visible piece of flesh on the female body (some even in the hidden parts as well) the ring on the finger the necklace on her breast, the bracelet on the hand (or legs) and the earrings on the ears.
You can look at it as if the earring is the ring for the ear and the necklace is the bracelet for the breast.
Many different variations and combination of ideas created a vast world of jewelry and beauty, cultural differences also added to where you can put a jewel and new discoveries have affected the way we think of jewelery.
Still the one thing that really beautify a woman's face without getting too much of attention is still (and always will be) the earrings, this is why you will always should prefer buying earrings on buying any other jewellery since any woman would love wearing them and showing off to her friends.

Consider the Diamond Earrings She Likes
Apparently there are things that anyone skip when they intend to buy set of diamond earrings on line or off line, I forgot about it when I wrote last time.
One of the most important things when buying jewelry for a woman is to remember that even if you think you know her, and I don't care if you've been married 50 years or that you've played together in the sandbox, you still only THINK you know her!
Consider this did you ever looked at a necklace or a ring you like and she said "wow this is nice, I like that", and you thought "well we got a similar taste". This statement was a mistake, cause you can't assume you both liked the same features of that necklace or whatever.
It seems like men are more attracted to the gem and how fancy or expensive it looked, similarly you can find the same thing that you like something based on it's price tag. While women like it based on how well it would fit them or how it will suite their personal outfits, they imagine how they would wear it and with what dress. If and only if it seemed to fit in their mind, according to their specific taste and other things like if they saw someone wear it lately, or if it will look more unique then something their friends wore etc.
When you think like that then you see why it's impossible to determine what she will like or what will surprise her or any other things you imagine you can figure out about her, because she herself doesn't even know if she like it in that specific moment and it can (and will) change every moment.
Hell it seems like my head is going to explode even when I try thinking like that, I think every guy out there would bang his head against the wall when he starts to consider all this small and annoying variables.
I've met women who said they liked this king of a precious stone, let's say Ruby for example because it's red and they liked the color, it fitted their sweater or emphasized their hair. While saying they hated pearl earrings because it so lame and so over rated and such.
A week after you would see them wearing pearl earring with proud and showing off how well it suits their make up, and when you'll try and give them a nice ruby necklace they will be (not act) surprise as to why would you even think they like ruby. "Everyone knows ruby don't go well with any outfit". So then you go back to the jewelery store an beg them to take it back or give you something else with a pearl in it (because you've just seen they wore it), you get a "well here we got a beautiful pearl necklace that is very popular among many of our clients".
You think to yourself "this time she will have to like it!", and instead of her saying that it really suites her pearl earrings, she is angry at you cause you go and buy things without asking her if she like it and that she already have a pearls so she don't won't to wear it also as a necklace.
Go figure..
Well I wish I could have said I got the magic answer of what to buy or how to guesstimate what she would like, but it's change with every woman and whatever happened to her all her life and what she is thinking in that particular time when you give her you precious gift.
I can only suggest that you kind of prepare her for your present, maybe fluff her a bit so she will be in a good mood. You can do whatever you think will set the mood right, and when she is in a good mood it will be harder (though not impossible) to get angry or unsatisfied.
Another trick is to be apologetic in advance, tell her you really try hard to figure what she likes.
I'm not saying you should lie!!
Women are a great lie detectors, I'm saying to tell her the truth. Tell her exactly how hard you worked to find the right earrings and the right size. Be very detailed and don't just cut your words short, it's crucial that she will understand that this is a very important thing for you!
You can always think of what she said recently regarding jewlrey or how she notice different pendants on other women, this could hint on what capture her eyes and attention. Though it's can be a tedious job and could turn out as a big waste of time, still I think that if you love her and put in the time it will help.
Many would dismissed that and i can see you already shaking your head, but you really have to try and ask.
I don't mean to ask upfront and ruined the surprise, instead be a bit more clever and creative. You could tell her what your friend bought for his wife and she how she reacts, but please for god's sake hide it in a story and don't just tell her that cause she will figure out your intentions and if not she will ask you about it and you'll have to chase the cat to give you your tongue back..
So tell a story that the motive and main point is way different, more interesting and capture the attention than what you are trying to say.
Don't worry about if she'll miss it, trust me she will not miss it, these things are important to women and will catch her attention as soon as you say it. When she does notice, she'll say something which is when you'll need to be very attentive.
This is where she'll tell you what kind of precious stone she like or a kind of jewelery that caught her eye the other day..
listen carefully to what she say and keep notes in your head, there is nothing better than liking something and getting it in after a few days as a surprise gift.
This is way more surprising when diamonds or other gems are involved!
So till next time,
Bruce.

Want to buy diamond earrings?
Every time I see someone who think about purchasing any thing with a diamond in it for example diamond earrings bracelets or rings especially engagement ring cause thats when most people seem to impress their bride to be (IF she say yes of course ;-)) in hope to capture her heart; they will always look into how big is the diamond and all other aspects like cut and shape and skip the most important thing which is where will the stone will set in that of course in our case the earrings.
I think the one thing to look at when buying a gem stone jewelry is not the stone itself but the the jewlery as a whole!
The Stone is like a painting (a nice and beautiful definitely) and as such you'd have to agree that the frame is important to emphasize the glory of this precious stone, just like a frame is to the painting.
In the same aspect the definition of an earring is:
A jewelry to ornament the ear; usually clipped to the earlobe or fastened through a hole in the lobe (like the hoop and stud earrings)
Therefore the intent of the earring is to decorate and beautify the ear, so it need not to grab the attention to the gem but rather as a whole to show the beauty of the ears. This is why I find it not a good idea to skip on the shape of the earing (ring or bracelet) itself, and focus only on how much the stone cost or how much carat is it.
When considering this it is you can surely choose a ruby or a pearl instead of a diamond though diamond jewelery is the most precious and special.
The material that fits most is especially depend on personal taste and it varies a lot. I have seen people that yellow gold is the only thing that they would think on buying, ignoring any other kind of metals like silver platinum etc. or even other variations of gold like white gold (which I personally prefer).
You might as well say that it's only what you like that will fit (there are of course different ways of saying it “in the eye of the beholder” but they all say the same what YOU like matters).
Women think differently, it should fit their whole outfit, accentuate particular clothes or colors.
The only thing that a man see is the value of the pendant and how much he paid for it. I don't mean to say it's not important it sure does since a diamond is still one of the things that are most sought after, it involves a lot of physical labor and not to mention so many good and not that good human emotions..
You might as well say that the value of the jewel is not only the fact it's not widely available, but more important the fact that there is so much human efforts and not physically measured qualities. This is what makes the value grow exponentially as you see in today's market that an engagement ring could cost thousands of dollars and more.
I compare it to every other thing in the market in the sense of whatever (object or even things you can't touch like knowledge or ideas) people value will be worth more then just a mere object is!
We make the difference when we decide that we want to put such and such amount of money into buying a pair of earrings we actually change the value of a jewelery in our mind and this cause it to change in general since the value of something is only measured in the mind of a bunch of human beings..
There are a lot of stores on line to get your loved one what ever she desire or even knew existed, I won't try and suggest specific sites but instead I'll try to give the right mindset when going online to get your heart desire.
First of all you should always be cautious!
Not paranoid but cautious, there are so many people in this world and there is a percent of them that would lie and cheat.
Scamming online is one of the easiest and popular things that go around, and when it concern an amount of money such as a precious gem some people would do everything.
All this is a known facts which don't need proofs but a point that should be made is that on the internet it could look legit like the most popular stores online and offline. A friend of mine was recently scammed by a site that looked exactly like paypal they just sent him an email saying that his details needs to be updated and he just gave them away all of his most personal details including social security and credit cards.
This is by the way called phishing when someone try to impersonate like a well known legit site.
You see what I mean by easy..
So when you go on the net trying to get beautiful earings to your lady you are not always aware of how some sites look or feel, but instead you just browse around looking for the right one.
So first thing first be cautious.
Now when it comes to choosing what to buy, I always recommend on looking for a place where you can see reviews.
I'm not talking about those “paid” reviews which are more like an infomercials then any useful thing, I'm talking about reviews by consumers who are people like me and you who bought a certain jewlery and can say if they liked it or if it was what it looked like.
Sometimes reviews might not contain anything worth reading while other times it will prove to be a very resourceful place to know exactly how would you feel when getting that pendant or whatever, and if you are lucky, how she would feel when you give it to her.
Yes I know not all people created equal and not every woman think the same thing about certain types of gemstones etc., but all and all it's worth looking into what experience other people had when they bought something from that particular store or what they thought about that particular jewel.
Like they say “you can make all the mistakes yourself, you won't have enough time for it.”
So look for reviews to learn from the experience of others.
Till next time take care,
Bruce.
