Elizabeta Jewelry discusses some of the questions you may have regarding engagement rings, wedding rings, diamonds, gemstones, and jewelry for all occassions.
Have you seen jewelry by Hidalgo? It is spectacular 18kt gold (white or yellow) and Italian enamel. It is available in your choice of colors. They make rings that can be personalized and stacked. They carry bands in a multitude of designs – floral, animal, sea life, symbols, names, zodiac, etc… They make a great gift idea to mark a special occasion. What do you think?

What do you look for in a wedding band? Is it comfort fit? Durability? Benchmark rings are the original comfort fit band. They have been around for 40 years and have a reputation for top quality and service. They are designed for a lifetime. They are die struck for durability, and they come with a lifetime warranty. In fact if your finger size changes down the road, you can get it sized for free! If your ring is looking a little worn, send it in and they will refurbish it and make it like new. All of the diamond bands they offer are precision set which allows more of the diamond surface to show while providing superior security to keep the stones in place.

Have you heard about the diamond hybrid? If you are looking for an environmentally and socially responsible diamond alternative that won’t cost you a small fortune, take a look at the diamond hybrid. It is the diamond equivalent to the cultured pearl. The diamond hybrid is composed of non precious core crystals which are combined with infused amorphous diamond, which is man made. During the creation, a core stone, we call the seed, is wrapped and layered with an amorphous diamond composed of tiny diamond crystals. It is then put into a chamber of intense heat and pressure. This process infuses the diamond crystals into the upper layers of the seed, fusing the diamond crystals together resulting in the final product. The result is a diamond hybrid that has the same characteristics as a diamond. The diamond hybrid has a color grade of FG and comes with a lifetime warranty against color changes or loss of brilliance.
Created diamond has carbon bonds, just like a natural diamond. However, it is created using modern methods sparing the land from environmentally disruptive mining. The outer surface hardness of Diamond HybridTM is approximately 9.6 on the Mohs scale, natural diamond is 10. Diamond HybridTM, like natural diamond, does register the diamond signature on a microspectroscopy test (lab test to identify and chart the presence of diamond). Unlike other simulants that register a false positive, Diamond Hybrid registers clearly and precisely the diamond signature present in the stone’s make-up. However it will not test as a natural diamond on a thermal tester.
With the money you save on a diamond hybrid, you can indulge in the ring of your or her dreams! Elizabeta Jewelry offers a free 1 carat diamond hybrid with the purchase of an engagment ring! If you would like to shop, click on the blog entry title to be redirected to Elizabeta Jewelry.

Are you guys feeling the pain of our economic downturn? Whoa! I thought I would take this time to tell you a little more about moissanite, an economic and smart alternative to diamonds. It is silicon carbide and it is the new up and coming alternative fine jewel choice. Moissanite was first discovered at a meteor crash site, but the pieces discovered were too small for jewelry. So once manufacturers figured out how to duplicate moissanite in larger sizes… voila! We now have moissanite jewelry! Moissanite has the highest refractive index making it the most brilliant of all jewels. It is similar in color to an I color graded diamond. Because they are man made, they have excellent clarity. Charles & Colvard is the exclusive manufacturer for moissanite intended for jewelry, and Elizabeta Jewelry offers Charles & Colvard moissanite. Rest assured this premier company offers lifetime guarantees on their stones. So if you are faced with an engagement ring purchase but can’t quite justify the expense of a diamond, moissanite is a brilliant choice, literally and figuratively. Since you won’t spend most of your budget on the diamond, you can buy the perfect ring. If you or your significant other has their heart set on a diamond, you can always upgrade to a diamond down the road when finances are more stable. Don’t let emotional diamond industry marketing (they are genius, aren’t they) stop you from popping the question sooner rather than later. Moissanite is truly beautiful!
We know times are tough. We are feeling it too. That is why we put together a selection of rings that we feel are a great value. They won’t break the bank yet they are quality rings that will last a lifetime. Please click on Great Values and you will be directed to some of the rings we selected. Be sure to check back regularly as we will be updating them daily. If you have a style you would like to suggest, please let us know – service@elizabetajewelry.com.

Hello Blogosphere! Usually my blogs are kind of one sided, just spewing out information… This time, I am hoping that you’ll give me some feedback. With the economy in a pinch, and your upcoming engagement or wedding approaching, what are some ways you are looking to save money on engagement /wedding rings and jewelry? Here are some questions…
1) Will you buy gold instead of platinum, an engagement ring with a smaller diamond, substitute a diamond with a colored gemstone or synthetic stone, get an engagment band with no large stones, or forego an engagement ring altogether?
2) What will you be looking for in wedding bands? Gold, platinum, titanium, tungsten carbide, palladium, or silver?
3) How about wedding day jewelry? Will you make some trade offs to get the jewelry you have always wanted or will you cut back on jewelry to make up for another wedding expense?
We would love to hear from you. Thank you for your time.
