The Independent Career Woman
The idea was to go with the new wave of feminist thinking stressing upon women's independence wish – married or not, you still have to wear diamonds in your ring to reassess your leading position alongside men! It's a sort of impulse for the women who are generically tired of the role of housewives and feel they can do better with their lives. So, the left hand ring stands for the labors that marriage brings along - while the right hand ring reads as the careless, joyful side of life.
NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) - Gold ended 1 percent lower on Wednesday as the dollar climbed, oil prices feel and U.S. stocks rose, denting the precious metal’s appeal.
Gold’s decline was “pretty much forex related, and oil is coming down,” said senior Commerzbank trader Michael Kempinski. “We need to see come stronger commodities in general, and a stronger euro, to push gold higher again.”
The dollar rose to its highest level in a month against major currencies, pressuring bullion prices. Gold tends to move in the opposite direction of the U.S. currency, as it is often bought as an alternative investment.

-------------------------------The William Goldberg Diamond Corporation, famous for outstanding stones like the Premier Rose and the Guinea Star, cut this gem from a 13.90-carat rough. They transformed the piece into a spectacular red diamond weighing 5.11 carats. The GIA states, "It is the largest Fancy Red, natural color diamond that we have graded as of the date the report was issued." The stone is a triangular brilliant, sometimes refered to as a trillion or a trilliant cut. It was cut sometime in the mid-1990s, so its history is still relatively uneventful. Sometime around 2001 or 2002 the stone was purchased by Moussaieff Jewellers Ltd. The firm, while it has no website as of yet, is renowned for multi-million dollar pieces of jewelry and has locations in the United States as well as abroad.
A new carmaker has a plan for cheap, environmentally friendly cars to be built all over the country
An air-powered car? It may be available sooner than you think at a price tag that will hardly be a budget buster. The vehicle may not run like a speed racer on back road highways, but developer Zero Pollution Motors is betting consumers will be willing to fork over $20,000 for a vehicle that can motor around all day on nothing but air and a splash of salad oil, alcohol or possibly a pint of gasoline.Monday, November 3, 2008

Learn About Diamonds
Buying a diamond usually marks a truly special occasion. However, the process of buying a diamond can also create feelings of confusion and anxiety due to the amount of money and research required. When buying a diamond, consumer education is vital to understanding your upcoming diamond purchase. Our diamond education page has been designed to give you a basic understanding of diamonds, and the characteristics that affect their beauty and value. Boston Private Jewelers recommends that you consider the following 3 basic concepts when you begin searching for your perfect Diamond(s).
-
Determine your budget. You should know approximately how much you would like to spend and what the “absolute maximum” amount of money you can afford before you begin your diamond search.
-
Look for the best quality diamond(s) for your money: Since most of us don’t have unlimited funds to purchase a diamond, we have to make the best of what we can afford. Achieving a good balance between the four C’s (color, cut, clarity and carat weight) can be difficult, however it is essential to the diamond buying process. Ask questions about the characteristics of your potential diamond purchase and try to find a diamond that is of good quality and a carat weight that will make you and your loved one happy.
-
One of the most important steps in choosing a diamond is to complete a thorough review of the diamond’s certificate or grading report. This document will explain the characteristics of a particular diamond, like carat weight, cut, clarity and color (the four C’s). There are several organizations that evaluate the quality of diamonds; however, the most widely utilized and respected is the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Boston Private Jewelers provides a GIA diamond certificate with all on-line diamond purchases and offers laser inscription services to guarantee the quality and integrity of all diamond purchases. Please feel free contact us if you have any additional questions.
For many people, a diamond is the largest purchase of their life. With that consideration, Blue Nile recognizes the importance of understanding exactly what you are buying. This guide simplifies the four Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, as well as diamond shapes and certifications. After reading this guide, you will be better prepared to choose the diamond that is right for you.

Gold hits new record price
The price of gold hit a new all-time record overnight owing to rebounding oil prices, a weak dollar and geopolitical tensions, traders said.This morning spot gold was trading at $US878.40 an ounce and had passed the $US900 mark in long-term futures contracts in New York.
Gold is seen as a defence against inflation, which in many countries is driven by runaway crude prices.
The precious metal is also seen as a safe haven amid global unrest, which on Tuesday was being fuelled by tensions between Iran and the United States.

Time To Buy More Gold
I keep seeing headlines such as this one: IMF Chief Warns Dollar May Suffer “Abrupt Fall” telling us all that, “The dollar may still have further to fall, and the effects would not be good for the global economy”.
Then there is the daily list of stories in my newsreader from precious metal gurus like James Turk of GoldMoney.com, forecasting that, “…we can expect US$800 gold by the end of the year, and a four-digit number next year.” What does it all mean?
Equities falling, gold rises to $950, silver past $18
You would think equity investors might be getting the message now with most global stock markets entering bear territory. At the same time gold has broken out again and is heading up. Gold touched $950 an ounce last week and silver ran past $18.Gold Bullion Securities [GOLD] was the pioneer and began trading in Australia in March 2003. By the time LyxOR Gold Bullion Securities [GBS] listed in London during March 2004, it held only a few hundred thousand ounces in trust on behalf of investors. When StreetTRACKS GoldShares (GLD) was ready for launch mid December 2004, the amount of GBS gold holdings had risen to almost 2 million ounces worth around $900 million.
These securities offer investors a new, innovative, relatively cost efficient and secure way to access the gold market. All of the securities are backed by allocated gold held in a vault on behalf of investors. They are intended to offer investors a means of participating in the gold bullion market without the necessity of taking physical delivery of gold, and to buy and sell that interest through the trading of a security on a regulated stock exchange. The introduction of exchange-traded gold securities is intended to lower many of the barriers such as access, custody, and transaction costs, which have prevented some investors from investing in gold.
