diamond dress

The model above carrying the dress is twinkling but unfortunately diamonds aren’t prominent. But if you have the courage to drop $12 million on a dress than make yourself complete by carrying a diamond-encrusted sandals and platinum handbag retailed at $163 mn.

The dress is still available for sale and if you have the desire then Strauss and Katz would love to ink the deal with you. But I can assure you one thing, the resale value of the dress is far better than the existing and evolving wedding dresses. Calm down your curiosity by taking a deep look at this bravura dress:

Refuting a Nonsensical Allegation on the Sensibly Scientific Filled Scripture

I understand and can comprehend words in at least four major languages and four native dialects of my country of origin. Of course, I want to learn more, but when I have read the Bible, when I was 17 years of age, I have loved it and have learned its language. I have nothing to boast for, for I am nothing; but my God, whom these people say IMAGINARY, is greater than I can describe.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

As it is very hard for an ordinary person to learn and comprehend the language of a lawyer in the courtroom, it will be very hard also for an ordinary mind as lowly as the earth to comprehend the language of the HIGHEST. A wise reader of the Bible must read it with caution and carefulness, especially, the words which God uttered from His very mouth. There are words in the Bible that were said by humans (believing and non-believing i.e. Psalms 53:1 “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good”), by angels, by demons, and the devil. Sorting all these requires patience and understanding, otherwise, you will be counted as one of those whom the apostle Peter said: perverting or wrestling the word of God.

(2 Peter 3:16-17) “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.”

This is surely what is being done by these imaginary people!

Nowhere in the Scriptures can you find a verse that the universe or the earth was created only 6000 years ago. I challenge these liars. Come out with a verse that proves your point, and I guarantee you there is none! Maybe these people were mislead by the belief of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and the Jehovah’s Witnesses that creation took place only 6000 years ago. After all, they do not believe in God, so their presumption that the universe and the earth was created only 6000 years ago must have been picked up by them from the ‘trash’ doctrines of these sects.

Witnesses believe that Adam was created in 4026 B.C. and that human beings have been allotted 6000 years of existence until Armageddon and the beginning of the millennium. This figure is based on a “creative week” in which each of six days is equal to 1,000 years, with the Sabbath or seventh day being the beginning of the millennium. Simple arithmetic gives 1975 as the year Armageddon would arrive. Franz explained that Armageddon would actually come 6000 years after Eve’s creation. But when 1975 came and went, the Witnesses had to “adjust” their chronology to cover up a failed prediction. They accomplished this by maintaining that no one knew exactly how long after Adam’s creation Eve came on the scene

Diamond necklaces that compliment your style A touch of individuality

Daimand Jewellery are the most exuberant and classy piece of jewelry you can own. Although diamonds can be included in many different kinds of jewelry, nothing can compare to the splendor of a diamond necklace. For a woman it's probably the deepest material expression of love that a man can give her as a gift. There are an overwhelming variety of diamond necklaces available to those who want them. People often look for jewelry that is complimentary to their personality so they can wear it with confidence.

The overwhelming variety of styles can be very confusing when you are buying a diamond necklace. You will find them in all varieties, ranging from extremely simple to unbelievably intricate designs. If you're wanting something simple, then a silver Diamond Pendant

The cautious approach to buying Diamond Jewelry

The profits that you can reap out of giving some sort of Diamond Jewelry including Diamond pendent, rings or necklaces etc. as a gift to your loved one are manifold. This is because not only will you have won their heart over by giving them a wonderful looking piece of jewelry you will also have handed them a very valuable asset.



The nature of diamonds is such that there value is unlikely to depreciate. Especially if you have a diamond that is intricately cut and has a good clarity. It is however essential to follow a certain Diamond Jewellery Buying Guide in order to avoid ending up with cheap quality Diamond Jewelry.



First timers are often unaware about the difference between synthetic and pure diamonds. To an experienced buyer however the difference is quite clear. But for an ordinary man looking to get the best diamond gift as an expression of his love and affection for his wife it is important to take some guidance in the matter. Of course he can't consult his wife because it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. Hence he must turn elsewhere for guidance.

Beware of the prices

One thing to watch out for is the prices. Don't be intrigued by the exceptionally low prices that some of the dealers will be quoting. This is because pure diamonds are not cheap and when you add to that the cost of the setting then the cost adds up even more. Hence if you find that certain sellers are quoting an exceptionally low price it is important to run the 4 C test on the diamonds.

The problem however is that an inexperienced has no idea how to run the 4 C's test on the diamonds. This is the reason why guidance in this matter is very important. There is one special power that an inexperienced buyer has and that is his love and instinct. These are special tools when looking to buyDiamond Jewelry for your loved ones but then again they can't be relied upon on their own.

Caring for your Diamond jewelry

Once you have managed to go through the process of determining the true value of the particular piece of jewelry at bay the next step is to understand how to maintain it. Yes, Diamond Jewelry requires maintenance otherwise its value will depreciate over time. This comes as a shock to many first time buyers. Understanding how to take care of your Diamond Jewelry is an important factor that cannot be overlooked.

This is because you have just made a healthy investment in buying the diamond and would want to ensure that you are able to keep it in pristine condition. Diamonds only last forever when they are taken good care of. Hence you need to constantly keep at its maintenance in order to rid it of the grime and hair that gets deposited in it. In this way you will manage to keep it in good shape and extends its life while keeping it shining.

THE country's diamond processing sector may acquire a new sheen. Large US corporates running multi-billion dollar jewellery chains are increasingly eyeing India as a potential centre for outsourcing their production of diamond-studded jewellery.

Cheap labour and the traditional expertise in diamond processing among the artisans are the major factors that are prompting the US corporates to focus on India for jewellery production.

For its part, the gem and jewellery export industry, cottoning on to the increased US interest in this sector, is initiating measures to set up adequate infrastructure facilities to meet the diamond processing needs of the foreign companies and train artisans to learn the designs that the currently in demand in the West.

Although India occupies the top position in the world in small and low quality diamonds, it is yet to make a significant mark in the diamond-studded jewellery segment vis-à-vis the potential it has.

Take the cases of the $2.2-billion Sterling Zales and the US-based Walmart, which are in talks with the Mumbai-based Rs 528-crore Soundcraft Industries Ltd, the country' fourth largest exporter of processed diamonds, for setting up outsourcing facility here for production of diamond-studded jewellery.

"We are in the process of setting up a huge production facility here. We also intend to create a Rs 25-crore fund to enable SSIs in the diamond processing sector to set up small units as captive facilities for us. Once these infrastructure facilities are in place, we will have the final negotiations with the two US companies," Mr Raj C. Basantani, Chairman of Soundcraft, told Business Line.

Industry experts say that other US companies are also initiating talks with Indian companies in this sector. "It is vital for the local diamond processing industry to set up adequate infrastructure facilities to grab this potential market. China is also training people in diamond processing, but India has the advantage of being the largest producer of processed small to medium diamonds. At present, India accounts for over 55 per cent of the world production in value terms and 80 per cent in volumes," according to a industry analyst.

India, which currently exports $ 7.5 billion worth processed diamonds, is aiming at increasing its exports to $ 10 billion by 2007. After facing a brief period of sluggish trend, the export market for processed diamonds is now looking healthier in the wake of the appreciating rupee and the dissipation of the SARS scare.

"The recent SARS scare had affected our market in Hong Kong, which accounts for about 15 per cent of India's processed diamonds export market. Now that market has revived. Also, the rupee appreciation has brought down our cost of import, which accounts for 93 per cent of our cost of production. I see a healthy growth of 18 to 20 per cent for the industry this fiscal," says Mr Basantani.

Although the appreciation of the rupee against the dollar has thinned the export margins, this has been offset to a large extent by the reduction of import cost.

"The import cost has come down by about five per cent during the last few months. The industry has also been benefited by lowering of interest rates. Dollar borrowing now attracts 2.5 per cent to 3 per cent cost, while in rupee terms it is 8 per cent," an analyst pointed out.

Diamonds

Diamond is the hardest substance known to man that occurs in nature. It is 10 times harder than the second hardest – corundum ( sapphire and ruby ). The word ‘diamond’ originates from the Greek word ‘adamas’ meaning unconquerable. This has given us the word ‘diamond’ through an old French translation but also ‘adamant’ and curiously enough the word ‘Dame’.

While studying for his honours degree Alan became fascinated by diamonds and assisted by two visits to the DeBeers sorting offices in London completed his final year thesis written on diamonds.

After graduating Alan was fortunate to be trained in the buying, grading, and sorting of cut gems by reputedly one of the top diamond specialists in Scotland. With his knowledge and understanding of diamonds Alan is widely revered within the diamond industry.

We hear today so much about the 4Cs of diamonds, but do you fully understand what the 4Cs stand for and the impact each has on the look of the stones.

When buying a diamond or diamonds from Alan P. Fulton, Alan will personally explain to you some of the finer details relating to the 4Cs. This we hope you will find both fun and educational.

Gold Jewelry - Costume Jewelry - Diamonds

The term Jewellery makes people think of items such as a necklace, ring, or bracelet, made from gemstones, precious or semi precious metals.

or numerous other substances. Jewellery no longer has to be made of gold, silver or diamonds. Jewellery today is made of just about anything imaginable.

While traditionally only gold and diamond jewellery were popular, times have gradually changed and costume jewellery has also gained popularity amongst women all over the world.

The Force of Art in Paris

A diamond is not forever, or at least its hyper-inflated value is not. The recession is destroying the strength of the diamond invention and its creator and protector, the De Beers corporation. Imagine, at last, alternatives to the diamond symbol of engagement, and to all the diamond-encrusted signs of economic success.
Certainly, there is little joy to be taken from the endless stream of economic woes that appear to be multiplying daily in the news. Perhaps a slight smugness is merited from those of us with socialist or humanist leanings that have objected to the rampant growth of nearly unfettered capitalism and globalization. Although I think people are wondering finally whether free market capitalism is best for society, it is still painful to see the world go down, and to see so many losing jobs and homes.



To see a great giant like De Beers quake is something else though. This is a company that has seen only growth for over half a century, thanks to its thuggish control of the market and publicity campaigns that have changed the very notions of romance, courtship, and marriage in many countries. While all companies try to position themselves a leaders in their industry, De Beers has gone much further, controlling the diamond market with their infamous cartel, which has set the prices of diamonds at astronomical levels by rigidly controlling competition and supply. In London, the majority of the world’s diamonds are stored in the care of De Beer’s “Central Selling Organization”. The notion of diamonds as scarce is false, and that the myth has continued until today represents the power of one of the most successful monopolies ever.
Add to this false perception the role that diamonds have taken on in contemporary society - diamonds are the symbols of romance, power, and wealth. De Beers has been responsible for some of the most brilliant and insidious publicity campaigns of the century, and since they are, essentially, the bosses of the diamond industry, the name De Beers is rarely seen in connection with this publicity - it is only the concept of the diamond itself that is promoted.

The Death of Bling

Campaigns began 70 years ago to instill Americans with the idea that the promise of an engagement is made with a diamond ring, and then later with the idea that the bigger and shinier the diamond is that is given, the greater the expression of love from the giver. This image of the diamond as the ultimate and really, the only true symbol of romance was created by massive publicity campaigns by De Beers, which involved giving large diamonds to movie stars and publishing photographs of them with their husbands in all women’s magazines, and getting diamonds into the movies themselves and then later television. They also made sure that magazines would publish articles discussing diamonds given to celebrities and especially, to include the size of the diamonds.
This is a practice that continues today. The fuss over engagements of stars like Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce are more focused on the size and estimated cost of their diamond rings than they are on the impending marriage to another human being. De Beers has spread this mania for diamond engagement rings to Europe and even Japan, where previous marriage rites had remain virtually unchanged for 1500 years, but now a diamond ring is considered the essential sign of marriage.

De Beers, originators of the classic slogan, “A diamond is forever”, is certainly one of the most successful slogans ever, and has moved into the territory of rappers in an effort to promote the modern image of diamonds being the symbol of success. The craze for “bling”, a term we now all accept in common speak, has been actively nurtured by the company, but now the emphasis on conspicuous consumption is backfiring on the diamond industry. The recession has ushered in a time for belt-tightening, both in actual spending terms and in appearances, and the frothy bubble of diamond bling is an obvious bust.
The fashion shows for Spring couture and for Fall prêt-a-porter had more jewelry on the runway than ever, but these styles were extra large and design-heavy, focused on high-impact forms rather than luxury, indicating that hopefully the death of the high-flash, big cash bling era will usher in a more democratic and artful period in jewelry.

Titanium, the Next Luxury

I recently heard a story from a friend at the District Attorney’s office who had a case where a man involved in a scuffle was shot in the tooth. The man survived, almost injury-free except for a busted lip. It turns out that the man was wearing a grill over his teeth. Gold caps saved this man’s life. When I heard this story though, after I recovered from the initial humor of the image, I realized this fortunate man must have had fake gold in his mouth. Genuine gold is soft and pliable- it certainly couldn’t stop a bullet. The man must have been wearing gold-plated steel, luckily for him.

Gold has long been the precious metal of the world. It is rare, it is virtually impervious to corrosion (which is why sunken treasure from centuries ago is brought up from the seabed in almost its original condition), and its softness gives jewelers a wide range of possibilities for techniques. Silver, which oxidizes and corrodes, is more plentiful and harder to work with, and has never had the same value as gold. Platinum was discovered much later, only 500 years ago, and only began to be used a precious metal for jewelry around 1900.
