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.
Diamond Earrings Material
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..
Buying jewelry online
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.
