Tips to Identify a Genuine Diamond Engagement Ring

Posted by: Virtual Jewelries  :  Category: Wedding Rings

In order to get the best bargain when purchasing cars and diamond engagement rings, it is crucial to do some research on the same. This will guarantee that you don't get took in by salesperson who's always willing to capitalize on clueless customers.

Once the jewelers see that you're experienced what you want to buy then they can't cheat you into purchasing diamond rings whose value is less then what the salesperson claim. A good diamond purchasing book is also a big help since it helps you in identifying imitation and worthless diamonds.

If you keep the following in mind then you can be sure to get the best possible deal while purchasing diamond engagement and wedding rings:

When purchasing a diamond always take for a 10x viewing jeweler's loupe. You should always look at diamonds through this loupe. If the jeweler makes up an excuse as to why he can't give you one then you can be sure that he's willing to sell fake diamonds. A honorable jeweler will always give you the loupe which is your right.

In addition to this ask for a GIA or AGS credential for the diamond. Assume the worst if they can't produce these credentials since they unquestionably have something to hide.

Unless you want to buy artificial Moissanite diamonds it is best to avoid them. Oftentimes jewelers will attempt to pass them off as authentic. This can be discovered through the 10x loupe. Man-made Moissanite diamonds have double facets or a doubled diamond table reflection.

One more thing that's significant to remember is that genuine diamonds scatter light so that it's not possible to read any type of print. Therefore this is a good way to spot fake Cubic Zirconia diamond. Place the diamond on a newspaper and attempt to read through it. If you can then the diamond is a imitation diamond.

Another trick to be aware of is that jewelers oftentimes pass off yellow diamonds as white diamonds. You won't be able to spot the difference since diamonds are usually displayed on black background which conceals the true color of the diamond. Try to look at the diamond on a white background so that any colorizing can be easily identified.

You should also avoid stores in which the price tags don't clearly reference the cost of the diamond. If the tags have a code on them then you can be sure that that jeweler will swindle you if you're not aware of diamond prices.

How do you spot a fake Fendi handbag?

Posted by: Virtual Jewelries  :  Category: Fendi Handbags
Mamamia asked:

I recently purchased a Fendi handbag, style 8BR465...I was wondering if any one knows the tell tale signs it's a fake? It cam with an authenticity card and dust bag (but so do really good replicas)...and there was a blue plastic covering all of the hardware when I got it. The website I bought it from promises 100% authentic. Should I take it to my local Holt Renfrew to have them look at it? Or is there something in or on the bag that only authentic Fendi handbags have, and cannot be duplicated?

Thanks for your help!!!!

How the Coach Handbag Emerged

Posted by: Virtual Jewelries  :  Category: Chanel Handbags, Coach Handbags

Coach set out as a family-owned business enterprise in a loft in Manhattan, New York in 1941 with American fashion designer Bonnie Cashin. In 1960, Miles and Lillian Cahn, proprietors of a wholesale purse manufacturing business, asked Cashin to become designer of a projected retail collection. As Cashin was initially too engaged with other designing contracts, she did not become their designer until 1962.

In producing accessories for her style of modern dress, Cashin dramatically converted handbags with designs similar to modernistic sculpture, dyed in candy colors of pink, orange, yellow and blue, and bordered with linens fashioned by textile designer Dorothy Liebes. With a larger assortment of shapes, colors and textures in her "Cashin-Carry" designs, several featured spacious openings or outside coin purses and pockets. Coach Incorporated is now believed to be a very "fashion-forward" brand and is typically sold and purchased throughout the nation.

Cashin designed coordinated shoes, pens, key fobs and eyewear and added hardware to her clothes and accessories alike, in particular the silver toggle that became the Coach hallmark, and amazingly enough had been inspired by a memory of promptly securing the top on her convertible sports car.

The Coach purse has become one of the most popular brands of designer handbags on the market today. Even in a poor economy, the Coach line survives as a quality product among both young and mature women.
