			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s a new trend in modern jewelry design. Yes, it involves the World’s favorite gem… diamonds. They’ve been known to be a girl’s best friend throughout the last couple of centuries, but now diamond rings are not befriending merely the lasses. Men’s diamond rings are becoming ever-more popular in modern society. For more than one reason, diamond rings for men are known to be a status symbol and smart investment for the suave male of this era.</p>
<p>First of all, despite a troubling economy, the price of diamonds and goal has continually risen in worth. As people lose less confidence in investments made by the stock market and within the banking industry, more and more smart investors are realizing the value of diamonds. Men’s diamond rings are worth something and will never depreciate.</p>
<p>Aside from the fact that they look so darn good, men’s diamond rings also carry a significant status symbol. What once may be only worn as a men’s wedding ring, the diamond men’s rings are highly accepted to be worn on many other fingers for even those men who are unmarried bachelors. Some men prefer a diamond men’s pinky ring, or the male version of a right-hand ring with chunky styles encrusted with diamonds. Bling, bling… men’s diamond rings do attract the ladies, as many men have discovered.</p>
<p>Women see a man who wears a diamond ring to be masculine and successful. He is a true gem, so to speak. He looks like the classy type of guy that will attract classy females. So a word to the wise for all the single guys, get yourself a men’s diamond ring if a classy gal is what you desire.</p>
<p>Of course, some men out there will also wear a men’s diamond band in lieu of an engagement ring. Why should the ladies have all the fun? Men these days are proud to shed their singlehood when they do meet the right gal. Some savvy guys have started a trend of men’s engagement rings or diamond men’s wedding rings instead of the traditional plain band.</p>
<p>Young and old men alike are finding a liking to men’s diamond rings to attract attention and to complement the men’s fashions of today. The diamonds can be set in many different metals besides gold. Platinum, ceramic, zirconium and titanium mens diamond bands give the diamond band a unique look in comparison to the traditional gold that has been used for decades. Gold will always be the most popular, but the many new options provide an enticing level of diversity for men to jump on the diamond men’s ring bandwagon and get a handsome ring for themselves.</p>
<p>Get with today, guys… and consider the men’s diamond ring a new ‘classic in the making’!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It may be her upcoming birthday or bridal shower that’s stirring up those burdensome concerns and questions… “I’d like to get her something practical that she could use a lot, but if I do, will she get offended that it’s not special or sentimental?” or “What about a dress or shoes- something fun… oh no, but will it fit?”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main advantage of purchasing high quality diamond jewelry online is the price.  The cost of entering the online high end diamond jewelry market is a significant barrier for unreliable companies.  Most of the online diamond jewelry sites are spending&#8211;at the very least-a few thousand dollars a year on advertising budgets.   What does this mean for you?</p>
<p>This means that you should have peace of mind when shopping for a high end diamond jewelry piece online and be assured that the site you are purchasing it from is safe…that is after you check the basic security features of the site.  It also means that the jewelry site is most likely either manufacturing or contracting the manufacturing of the diamond jewelry itself.  This means a lower cost of obtaining the merchandise for the online jewelry store.  This fact&#8211;combined with the national reach and hence distributed advertising costs across a larger customer base&#8211;means significant savings for you.</p>
<p>The optimal online diamond jewelry store would manufacture its own jewelry pieces, have an international reach and have an extensive online presence, all of which are also signs of a healthy business entity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term “wear your investment” is catchy but should invite caution when used as a selling pitch.</p>
<p>While diamonds and diamond jewelry have been appreciating in value, it is generally not a good investment option for the general public.  There are a few reasons why I think that diamond jewelry should not be considered as an investment option&#8211;at least not one that can generate a profit in the near future.</p>
<p>Diamonds, even though they appreciate in value, have a hefty markup when they are sold at a brick and mortar (retail) store.  This markup is usually large enough to eradicate any price appreciation in the short term.</p>
<p>Diamond jewelry pieces with smaller diamonds are especially not a good investment option.  In general, the smaller the diamonds on a piece, the harder it will be for you to sell it, and the lower your selling price will be compared to the original buying price.</p>
<p>There are always exceptions to this general trend.  For example, platinum, gold and metal alloy prices have gone up by %100 &#8211; %200 in the last year and a half.  The prices for high quality diamonds above 5 carats have also gone up significantly.</p>
<p>The bottom line is:  Choose the jewelry pieces you love wearing.  Wear your jewelry and enjoy it!  Invest your money with a brokerage firm, not your jeweler.  Keep in mind that your jeweler is not your investment advisor!</p>

We have hardcore fans of France, Italy, Turkey and Holland in our offices. But since Italy seems to be the most popular team, I am taking this opportunity to blog about their win over France today and their advancement to the next round!</p>
<p>The men in blue defeated the Franks 2-0 in a beautiful match at Zurich &#8211; Letzigrund. As one headline today said “France sunk as Italy grabs lifeline”, this was a must win match for Italy and they did it! YES, YES, YES (you can tell where my allegiances stand)!!!</p>
<p>Well to celebrate the men in <span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;">BLUE</span>, I recommend the following blue sapphire men’s rings from <a href="http://clevereve.com">CleverEve’s</a> collection:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I watched the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie, At Worlds End a few days ago and I loved it.  The plot, the cinematography, the thrill, the special effects, they were all simply amazing.  But what especially caught my attention was the jewelry the pirates were wearing!  I guess because I am in the trade of diamond jewelry I tend to notice any jewelry worn in movies, on tv, or pretty much anywhere.</p>
<p>Personally, I find it a great fashion statement for men to wear jewelry pieces, especially rings. Recently I came across a collection of rings based on the Pirates of the Caribbean movie on <a href="http://jewelry.about.com/od/antiquejewelry/ig/Movie-Theme-Replica-Jewelry/Pirates-of-the-Carribean.htm">About.com</a>.</p>
<p>I personally liked them but cannot imagine many people in the twenty first century wearing diamond rings with human skulls on them.  I think a diamond men’s ring from the <a title="CleverEve's Men's Collection" href="http://clevereve.com/categories/7.html">CleverEve’s Men’s collection</a> might be the right fit for the pirate at heart.</p>
