Current Wedding Jewelry Styles for Your Modern Wedding

By Ann Daniels


There are a number of issues to consider. Firstly, is he concerned about a public display of his marital status? Some men, whether rightly or wrongly, are threatened by this. Others are not in the least concerned.

It was, in fact, during the second world war that the use of wedding rings by men became more common. (Note that men's wedding rings and men's wedding bands are interchangeable, both meaning the same thing.)

And as many men have never worn any form of jewelry before they have no idea what it will feel like to have something permanently on the finger. Is it heavy? Does it rub? Silly as it may seem to women this can be of concern to some men. (If this genuinely is of concern it is quite possible to find a cheap jewelry shop, buy the cheapest ring available and wear it for a while. See exactly what it feels like. And find out your size at the same time.)

This notion came originally from the ancient Greeks who believed that this finger had an artery which flowed straight to the heart. Whilst anatomically incorrect this makes for good fable.

Despite the fact that the wearing of a ring by a woman is a matter of choice, it is in fact almost obligatory due to the fact that it is so common. Many women do not even consider the possibility of not wearing one. Often, however, a man usually considers the wearing of a man wedding ring very carefully.

The Best Fun and Memorable Marriage Proposal Tips

By Erika Vail


Here are some fun marriage proposal ideas!: One of the most exciting ways to propose would be to have the question pop in during a radio or television show that your girlfriend is particularly fond of. Arrange with the studio beforehand to announce your proposal at a strategic time like just before the announcement of winners at the show. However be sure to casually ask your girlfriend if she is going to catch tonight's show since you don't want her to miss the proposal after you have gone through all the trouble of fixing it. Most importantly, arrange to be present with her when the question comes so that you can witness that priceless look of amazement and love on her face.

Round cut Round diamonds are the most popular of all the shapes, perhaps because their circular proportions display the most "fire" and reflect more light back to the observer than any other shape. Round diamonds require that more rough be removed during cutting and polishing than with other shapes. The combined popularity of round diamonds and the significant weight loss during cutting are the two main contributing factors to the relatively higher price of these stones.

Princess cut The Princess cut is a square cut with sharp edges. It has very good fire and a high degree of brilliance. The princess cut utilizes most of the original shape of the rough diamond and the weight loss from cutting is low. As a result, its price is usually more attractive than a comparative round cut with the same weight.

Length to width ratio A princess cut with a length to width ratio of less than or equal to 1.05:1 will appear square to the observer. While a squarer diamond is the preference of many, some people prefer a slightly rectangular-shaped princess diamond.

Marquise shape The Marquise cut is boat shaped and is a variation of the round brilliant cut diamond. Marquise cuts are often chosen by woman who wish to display an independence of style. Its elongated form can create the illusion of longer, narrower fingers. Length to width ratio A marquise cut with a length to width ratio of approximately 2:1 is the norm. For those who prefer a rounder look, choose a ratio closer to 1.5:1. For those who prefer a more elongated shape, look for a ratio of 2.25:1

Not Merely Plain Diamonds Anymore: the Emerging Eternity Wedding Band

By Erika Vail


Cushion The cushion cut is an antique-style diamond cut that has recently come back into fashion. It is a cross between an Old Mine Cut (a deep cut with a high crown and large facets that was common in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries), and a modern oval cut. The cushion shaped diamond is squarish with rounded corners and sides.

This cutting style has a slightly softer brilliance compared with newer modern cuts. The cushion cut diamond has grown in popularity for its "old-world" femininity and elegant appeal. Length to width ratio Squarer-looking cushion cuts (Ratio of 1:1) tend to be prefered to more rectangular ones (Ratio of 1.2:1). Cushion cuts should not exceed a ratio of 1.2:1

Emerald cut Emerald cuts are sleek and elegant. The Emerald cut is rectangular with cut corners. It is a step cut - its facets being broad with flat planes resembling the steps of a stair. Higher quality Emerald cuts are preferred because its cut makes inclusions and lower color grades more noticeable than with other cuts. Length to width ratio An emerald cut with a length to width ratio of approximately 1.35:1 is generally the most prized. However, in recent years, square emerald cuts have become extremely popular.

There was a powerful king of the Danavas named Bala, endowed with great strength and who proved his valor by conquering the three worlds. In more than one battle, Divaspati was vanquished by him, and the wife of Heros, Sachi, was not able to raise her head with pride. The gods could not defeat this indomitable warrior in open combat; so they requested him, in the guise of a favor, to become the victim of their sacrificial ritual (yagna).

Marquise shape The Marquise cut is boat shaped and is a variation of the round brilliant cut diamond. Marquise cuts are often chosen by woman who wish to display an independence of style. Its elongated form can create the illusion of longer, narrower fingers. Length to width ratio A marquise cut with a length to width ratio of approximately 2:1 is the norm. For those who prefer a rounder look, choose a ratio closer to 1.5:1. For those who prefer a more elongated shape, look for a ratio of 2.25:1

Tips To Make Dating More Fun And Enjoyable

By Lisa Thompson


If you want to succeed in dating, looking good and attractive will not be enough. A lot of individuals end up getting dumped because of one wrong move. If these wrong moves could have been avoided and prevented, you could have already found the lifetime partner you have always dreamed of. After all, dating is a way of assessing whether you and your date will make a good couple.

Take dating seriously. If you want to waste your time just flirting with women, do not waste your date's time. Dating should not be taken for granted because it can ruin make or break your chance of landing in a steady relationship. If you are not yet ready for a serious commitment for certain reasons, a fling may be more advisable to you. Your date may believe or assume that you are interested in having her for a serious relationship. Do not let your date wait for something in vain. Make sure you do not create false hopes. Do not get involved with another relationship or marriage. Being a third party may just make things more complicated. It is also not a good start for a relationship.

Do not be too clingy. Avoid calling your date every now and then. Do not ask her trivial and petty questions such as if she has eaten breakfast. Learn to respect your date's personal space. At the same time, be productive and keep yourself busy with things you love doing. This will make you more interesting to the girl. Women do not like men who are not productive. Thus, they learn to value the time they get to spend with you.

Do not force things into the picture. Asking for sex on the first date is a major turn-off. Let the relationship blossom in its natural way and things will eventually fall into place. At the same time, do not make your date your sounding board. Do not divulge too many emotional issues, especially those about your previous relationships. Do not monopolize the conversation. Make sure your date also enjoys talking to you.
