So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Most Thoughtful & Memorable Marriage Proposal Ideas

By Irene Beckwith


Since diamonds are a long term investment and one have to hold them for years until they appreciate in value it is not a bad idea to buy a loose stone and then put it in a mounting of one's choice for the purposes of wearing it. On the other hand diamond jewelry, is an investment that you can wear without diminishing its value.

Setting Styles Because eternity designs have very close-set stones, setting choices can be limited. Prong settings give the ring the appearance of being composed only of diamonds, similar to a pave setting. Channel settings are popular because they are easy to manufacture and hold gems securely. Bar settings place a bar of gold or platinum between each gem or create a pattern among the stones, while more elaborate styles may have curved-S settings, bezels, or even figural settings such as vines, leaves, and flowers.

Eternity rings are most commonly set with diamonds. Other stones such as emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are also popular choices, but diamonds are the undisputed favorite. The shape of the stones is as important as the type of stone, with oblong or square stones usually being preferred to round. Square or rectangular cut stones are easier to set end to end around a band, making them perfect for eternity rings.

When deciding how to wear eternity rings, personal choice is the most important consideration. Eternity rings are usually worn on the same finger as wedding rings. They may be worn in addition to the engagement ring and wedding band, or in place of either one. Many women choose to replace their wedding band with an eternity ring and wear it along with their engagement ring.

While the style, stones, and placement of eternity rings are important to consider, the sentiment conveyed by an eternity ring is the most important part of the gift. This article was written specifically for men who wish to surprise their future spouses with the most beautiful (and appropriate) engagement ring or wedding ring.
