Fine Jewelry and Diamonds

by

Wow, as a former jeweler I just found a site that I’m drooling over. Abazia’s Diamonds front page opens with a lovely selection of the many popular cuts of diamonds sparkling before your eyes.

If you are interested in purchasing jewelery or diamonds Abazias Diamonds features over 80,000 loose diamonds and a wide selection of jewelry at wholesale prices.. That’s right- you can purchase loose diamonds from them if you choose to. Why would you do this? Well, perhaps you already have an engagement right that has a solitaire diamond in it, but now that you and your spouse are doing well financially and perhaps a big anniversary is coming up you’d like to increase the size of the diamond in your ring. Hey why not- people do this all the time. Now you can select your own diamond with ease for this kind of purpose.

Another feature that I like on Abazias Diamonds is that you can design your own engagement ring using their 3D engagement ring builder. You can select the type of mount (ring) that interests you and then choose from a selection of diamond shapes and sizes to create your own unique engagement ring.

You can also choose from a wide selection of ready made engagement rings, bands, watches and all other types of jewelry. The designs are lovely and the prices seem reasonable. Check it out if you are thinking of becoming engaged or perhaps buying someone you love a nice piece of jewelery over the holidays.






Even my wedding band has a garden theme

by

You know, I was just trying to decide how long I’ve been interested in gardening and I’ve decided that to some degree, I must have had an interest even as a young child. I can remember helping my parents in our home gardens and at the two gardens we had at our cottage. I might have complained a bit about it every now and then, but once I got working helping to pull the weeds or planting seeds and watching the new plants grow I discovered that I actually enjoyed what I was doing.

Chris and I have beautiful wedding bands, and even these I realize have a bit of a garden theme to them. Well my band does anyway.

We didn’t go the route of choosing wedding rings the way most couples do. Chris and I were both jewelers at the time – not sellers of jewelry but the people who actually make jewelry. It’s very bad luck for jewelers to make their own wedding bands, so as a gift, our brother in law who was also a jeweller, hand crafted our beautiful bands on his own as a gift to us.

We did have input into the design- thank goodness! Mine does have a garden theme it’s a concave gold band with hand carved grape vine and grape leaves intertwined around the whole band. Small emeralds and diamonds alternate around the band between the grape leaves. It’s beautiful. I wanted emeralds in my band because I felt they gave me a tie to nature.

Chris band is convex yellow gold with a strip of white platinum encircling the middle of the band. It’s very nice, but sorry no garden theme to his band.

Even though we didn’t choose our wedding bands the traditional way, we did have a traditional wedding. However, we did get a friend to do the flowers and decorations for the pews as she was working at a fantastic flower shop at the time.

Don’t you just love having connections?
