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.

White Gold 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.

Princess Cut or Round Brilliant



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).

Women Diamond Earrings



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..

So pearl earrings, diamond earring or ruby earrings?



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.

Have you ever tried asking?



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.
