Choosing The Right Jewellery

So, the time has come to pop the question, eh? If you're thinking of going down on one knee and asking her to marry you in the traditional way that women love, you'd better have the engagement ring ready.

Never be afraid to ask questions. If the piercer becomes in any way abusive or evasive leave. There are plenty of professional body piercers who will be more than happy to answer your questions that you can use instead. Check out the guidelines below and ask questions of the piercer if there are any parts you are unsure about.

Does she have any allergies (eg: does gold or silver bring her out in a rash?) if in doubt opt for platinum which is hypoallergenic.

A large number of Round Brilliant Cuts have been defined over the years, each with their own detailed specifications of the various proportions of the diamond. The main purpose of these cutting styles has been to maximise the Fire and Brilliance of the diamond to produce the most beautiful stone possible.

Collar - typically 10 to 13 inches long and are quite flexible either for evening wear or casual day wear. These are worn high on the neck, above the base. Another style is the dog collar, which is made of several strands, quite popular in the Victorian era and slowly making a comeback.

Collar pearls are the shortest at 14 to 16 inches long and may be worn with formal or semi-formal evening wear or semi-formal day wear. Chokers are 16 to 18 inches long and are the common choice for dances and balls. Princess necklaces are the most popular length at 18 to 20 inches long and look great on any outfit.

Rope necklaces are chic and incredibly sexy. You can have clasps placed in different locations so that you could have different necklaces and bracelets or have a multi-strand choker. Like Opera necklaces, you could knot this necklace for a trendier look. If you are wearing a backless dress, you could knot this necklace and sling it over your shoulder to give your dress more flair.

Best Time to Measure It

One other thing we should remember when measuring our ring size is that we have to size it up when the day is almost over since this is the time that our fingers are at their largest.

Measuring cold fingers could give you an inaccurate reading since our fingers are at their smallest when they are cold.

Do some research on how to spot fake gemstones and jewelries before making the purchase. But if you know next to nothing about gemstones and fake gemstones, then an established seller is your best bet. With reputable jewelry stores, you will probably get the best price offer and the widest range of options.

One thing to bear in mind though is that the round brilliant cut has been evolved over decades to maximize a diamonds sparkle and, everything else being equal, will sparkle more than other cuts. That's not to say that you shouldn't choose a different shape if you particularly like it but if you don't have a strong preference, then you wont go far wrong with a Round Brilliant Cut.

In addition, unlike costume jewellery, which can cause allergic reactions when worn in pierced ears, there are no common allergies to silver. Sterling silver earrings do not contain nickel, the most common allergy causing white metal. So by buying sterling silver, you are choosing not only a beautiful, but also a safe piece of jewellery.
