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

Numerous Couples Favor Unusual Wedding Band Sets

By Celia Hall


Shopping for a wedding ring is ideally an activity that a person engages in only once during his or her lifetime. Almost all couples prefer lovely and original rings that will be noticed in a crowd. This is why a suitable amount of effort and time must be invested in the task of locating an attractive and affordable unusual wedding band set.

Over the past several years, the demand for unusual rings has risen, motivating numerous vendors to attempt to accommodate such clients. However, prior to beginning a shopping excursion for the ideal ring set, couples should discuss their preferences and try to discover the characteristics they desire most.

Determining the type of precious metal the couple prefers is a good place to start when selecting rings. Popular choices include yellow gold and white gold, but individuals searching for unique bands may prefer rose gold or platinum, which are less common than the aforementioned options. Rings set with precious or semi-precious gemstones are also an alternative that is somewhat unusual, especially when one chooses colored gems rather than the more traditional diamonds.

A ring that is decorated with black diamonds is also a perfect alternative for couples who prefer a band that features jewels. This gem looks particularly appealing when placed in a platinum or white gold setting. A large black diamond encircled by small white diamond chips is another terrific option for a customized ring. Ultimately, a couple's options regarding gemstones are limited only by their imagination.

Tension set rings are currently receiving a considerable amount of attention among consumers who prefer unique bands. Such sets feature stones that appear to be suspended in the air because of the way they are set. Jewelers can suggest the most appropriate gems to couples who prefer such bands. This is because not all stones work well in this type of setting, but an experienced jeweler will be able to recommend the best option.

Heirloom rings, or those that feature an antique look are additional option a couple may find appealing. Such bands can be purchased in antique shops, and since they are older than rings found in traditional jewelry stores they are likely no longer mass-produce. Therefore, a band with a one-of-a-kind look can often be easily found through this venue.

Some couples decide to have their bands custom-designed by an Internet merchant or local jeweler. Many skilled individuals are available who can design the exact piece the couple desires, provided the latter can clearly convey their ideas to the jewelry designer. It is essential to make sure appropriate communication exists when embarking upon such a project, however, as the rings will be worn for many years in the future, and therefore must please the bride and groom.

It is also essential to conduct business only with a reputable professional when purchasing any jewelry item. This is because such items are expensive, and therefore should be considered an investment. One should never make a decision in haste, but rather research the reputation of any jeweler with which he or she is considering doing business. Regardless of what a person has in mind, an unusual wedding band is an ideal way to express one's individual personality and love for his or her mate.
