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

A Few Hints To Help You Design Engagement Rings

By Jan Rooss

One of the most important and memorable events in your life is the day you get engaged. This makes the ring also very important.


Before you go and spend all your hard earned money at your local jewelry store you might want to shop around a bit for a great quality engagement ring at a greatly reduced price. This can be done by designing your own engagement ring.

You can do this by finding a wholesale company selling diamonds that can also provide a service where you can design engagement rings.

First of all you will need to choose your diamond by using the 4 Cs selection process. The best diamond to choose is one without color indicating the highest quality, the highest quality cut, the highest clarity and the largest carat.


Once the diamond is selected the next step wold be to choose the setting. You can choose a prong setting if you want to highlight the stone with a tight grip. Choose a channel setting if you want the stone to have a flowing look to it. If you chose a princess cut diamond I would recommend you choose a bezel setting as it protects the edges of the diamond really good.

The last step is to choose the ring itself. Here you can choose between white gold, platinum, yellow gold etc. You would have to know what type of ring your girlfriend likes such as a solitaire or a two or three stone ring. I chose a solitaire ring in white gold.


Etchings and other finishing touches can also be added to the ring.

The result is a home designed engagement ring that has a stone of the highest quality but a fraction of the cost that will be absolutely unique. You wife to be will adore it.
