Speaking of weddings, a close college friend of mine who’ll get wed later this year just shared her engagement proposal story and how her fiancé lavishly showered her with not just one but two diamond engagement rings!  Knowing how his fiancée adores diamonds and since he can’t decide between two nicely designed rings, he bought both of them.  It’s just funny because it might appear that my friend is engaged to two different men if she wears them at the same time.  But I think that’s much more acceptable than his fiancé wearing two men’s wedding rings after the wedding.  That will be a different story then.

In an effort to quell the concerns of the public and ensure mining practices that are both ethical and environmentally responsible, many jewelry companies have joined forces under The Responsible Jewellery Council. Chopard, which recently celebrated its 150th anniversary as a timepiece and jewelry manufacturer, is one such company.

As a member of The Responsible Jewellery Council, Chopard will join forces with such notable jewelers as Bulgari, Cartier, De Beers, Zales, and Tiffany & Co. But these formidable players in the jewelry market are just a few of the over 200 companies, now including Chopard, that are part of the council.

Under the RJC System, which seeks to reinforce consumer and stakeholder confidence in jewelry products via members’ commitment to responsible ethical and environmental practices, all commercial members such as Chopard are required to undergo accredited, third-party auditing to verify their conformance to the RJC’s Code of Practices. The code, which Chopard will have to adhere to, covers responsible business ethics, human rights and social performance, environmental performance and management systems.

Given the recent and growing concern about the practices surrounding the jewelry industry, particularly the mining practices and treatment of workers at mining sites, joining The Responsible Jewellery Council may pose Chopard to be one of the jewelry companies that survives and thrives as the world economy pulls out of the recession. If this is the case, then Chopard may be at the beginning of the next 150 years of its life as a designer and manufacturer of watches, timepieces, jewelry, and high-end precious stone settings.

The sizing of your ring is extremely important. Be sure to go into your jeweler and be properly sized. Even if your ring feels like it fits all right, you want to be sure that it is not too loose or too tight. Even a ring that stays on your finger during most occasions can come off during a vigorous activity if it has not been sized properly. You do not want to lose your beautiful Tacori engagement ring. If your ring is too tight it might become uncomfortable. Depending on the temperature and your physical activity, the circumference of your finger can actually change. A jeweler can help you find the perfect size for your ring.

Tacori engagement rings are crafted in such a way to show off their brilliance. The trademarked Tacori Crescent Design allows light to pass through beneath the actual diamond, making it shine and sparkle. However, if you want to be sure that your ring keeps its brilliance, you need to take proper care of it. Visiting your jeweler at least once every three or four months for cleaning is important. Your jeweler will usually provide this service free of charge, so keep your ring shining to its fullest.

Be careful with your ring. Tacori engagement rings are made of precious metals and stones, and you don’t want to compromise it. Take your ring off when you are playing sports, working out, washing dishes, bathing, or doing other potentially damaging activities. You will want to enjoy your engagement ring for years.

Aside from being baghags and fancying madly for these brands for like forever, the reason behind their habitual shopping is that these will serve as heirlooms they can pass on to their daughters. It’s a sort of investment, they believe. Well, I have nothing against their interest in these very costly bags. To each is his own. If I were to be asked and given the means, I’d rather set aside and splurge the money on our priorities like for our housing project, for future monthly housing amortizations, my son’s educational fund, future business funds, etc. Further, if I were to buy an heirloom, I’d prefer assets or properties that my children will surely benefit from in the future. It could also be precious gems or jewelries like a Chopard pendant specifically a “Happy Diamond” Circle Floating Diamond Necklace as these gems are valuable until eternity. This specific pendant is simply elegant, dashing and its sheer sophistication is what sets it apart from the others. Another reason why I do not share the same interest with them (at the moment) is that, I do not work and have very scarce opportunities to strut them off. For now, I’m very much contented with my son’s diaper bag that is so easy to lug around. I can go out, walk around freely without attracting temptations or thinking about scratches or tiny stains that might leave an unsightly mark.

Poor guy. Imagine, this was not only witnessed by thousands of live basketball spectators but talk about the billions of NBA televiewers worldwide. Even superstar Tracy McGrady couldn’t control himself from chuckling.

Now tell me, what do you think could have been the girl’s reason for saying “NO”:

1.) The guy is a complete stranger and is proposing at the wrong girl.
2.) The girlfriend was completely caught off guard, got crack-brained and just didn’t know what to do but run away from the crowd’s eyes.
3.) She didn’t like the engagement ring.

Of course, I’m just fusing some humor here. Most probably, the girl’s not just ready yet for a lifetime commitment. But seriously, lesson learned here for guys out there: Do not propose in public unless you’re 100% sure she’ll say YES. I know, it’s challenging to determine that but somehow you’ll get hints and if you know your girl that really well, it’ll be pretty easy.

Another tip, look for that perfect and unique engagement ring that will surely captivate her eyes. As they say, “nothing affirms I Love You like a diamond”, and nothing provides a more classic declaration of that love than a diamond engagement ring. This is why a guy should find the most dashing and unique engagement ring that is as extraordinary as his sweetheart. The Tacori engagement rings are among the most elegant rings my eyes ever laid on. This collection of rings is unique and characterized by its signature crescent silhouette design.

But then again, engagement rings aren’t really compulsory. There may be other practical alternatives out there. After all, what’s far more important and what unmaterialistic girls will be convinced by is a guy’s sincerity.

Indeed, diamonds are every girl’s best friend. There’s something in it that entices the eyes and catches people’s eye inadvertently. It’s actually the alluring brilliance that is the very essence and charm of every diamond. And for a girl, nothing can smitten more the way Eternity rings fully embedded with diamonds do. As the name connotes, the continuous loop of diamonds is symbolic of unending, eternal love.

For the gentlemen, they also seek after this precious metal however in a different investment form like ingots, coins and bullions. They have it as a collection but for most for business purposes. They religiously monitor the value considering the neverending fluctuation of the world economy. Recent stats and figures tell though that now is the perfect time to buy gold bullion as aggressive rallies in gold during the first few sessions of each month since September have been seen.
