Jewellery
Jewellery can be made up of precious minerals and gemstones such as diamond, gold, silver, rubies, sapphire, emerald, etc. But nothing compares to diamond jewellery. Women buy diamond jewellery because of its impeccable beauty and quality. Diamond is the strongest mineral on earth. Diamond rings are popular as bridal jewellery like wedding rings and engagement rings. Solitaire diamond necklaces are versatile since they can be worn on both casual and formal attire. However, the most popular is diamond earrings, whether stud or tear drop, because it is worn in the the most visible part of the body. Male celebrities such as members of the bands Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran have been wearing diamond earrings since the 1980s. Ordinary men have caught up.

A quick guide for shopping an engagement rings made of precious metals
Traditionally, engagement rings are made of yellow gold, be it 9ct, 14ct or 18ct. Most of us now realise that white gold is also readily available on the market. These different hues are often chosen out of preference for the clean look of white metals. Alternately, they can be chosen to complement the precious gemstone featured in a particular ring. The deep royal blues of sapphires, for example, are much better enhanced with a complimentary, cool metal. Perhaps you have heard of platinum. Platinum was a very popular choice for rings, earrings, necklaces and brooches in the first half of the 20th century, until World War II restricted its usage to industrial production.
It has regained its former glory however. One can easily appreciate its strength and the fact that it maintains its lustre without the need for occasional rhodium plating. Did you realise that engagement rings now also come in palladium? To admire some palladium rings, including wedding bands, see The Beautiful Company’s website at www.thebeautifulcompany.co.uk . Palladium is a relative newcomer to the jewellery market and offers a modern alternative with the look of platinum at a fraction of the price. Had you considered a titanium piece? Titanium withstands wear and tear and it displays an intense, dark lustre. Many men prefer titanium for their wedding bands. One thing to bear in mind as you decide on the choice of metal is the colour of your diamond. A diamond with a little body colour is better placed in a yellow metal, which will mask it and make it appear whiter. Alternately a "D" coloured diamond is best admired for its pristine iciness in a white metal.
