A Note On The Colours Of Diamonds

Monday, May 17th, 2010

The most common diamond found in watches and jewellery is the perfectly colourless or ‘white’ diamond, but that is certainly not the only colour available. More than 20 officially approved colours are known to experts. Pink, blue, and champagne are three of the most popular in jewellery.

Colour is distinct from clarity. While clarity scrutinises a diamond for flaws and interruptions, colour refers to the tint. Any colour of diamond can have a high or a low clarity and a correspondingly high or a low quality. Some of the largest and most valuable diamonds found either loose or in diamond jewellery settings in the world are coloured.

Of the ten greatest diamonds ever valued, most are either blue or white. The exception is the Golden Jubilee Diamond, which is the largest cut diamond in the world at more than 540 carat. That’s more than 100g, or the weight of a generous chocolate bar. The clear golden colour is called ‘fancy yellow brown’. It is worth millions of pounds.

Because they are rarer, large diamonds with high clarity and a particular tint are usually more expensive than their white equivalents, but there is no denying that they can also be truly beautiful stones.

Selecting a diamond colour to suit your loved one not only shows that you care enough to buy diamonds, but also that you’ve put extra thought in to the choice. For example, nothing beats pink diamond engagement rings for a woman who loves that colour.

Get Your New Diamond Jewellery Insured

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Fine diamond jewellery is by its very nature expensive. What’s more it’s small, lightweight, and has a high resale value, so this kind of item is the perfect target for thieves and housebreakers. As soon as you receive a piece of diamond jewellery or a watch from us you should add it to your home and contents insurance policy. Don’t wait until your next renewal.

That will cover your ring or watch against theft from your home, but most policies won’t cover accidental loss or damage. They also won’t apply if a theft occurs outside the home. To address that problem we can help arrange cover for you, with a policy especially designed for valuables like watches, rings, and bracelets. The insurance comes through Allianz, who are a well established and well recognised insurance firm, but if you need to make a claim we can look after all the details for you.

If you lose or damage diamond jewellery bought from ROX, or it gets stolen, get back in touch with us and we’ll guide you through the process. Your item will be repaired or replaced by us as swiftly as possible.

Consider our special Forever Precious insurance whenever you buy from ROX. Any piece of diamond jewellery represents a significant investment, and like all of those it needs to be protected. We understand exactly how to do that, and will be happy to help ensure the safety of that investment if the worst should happen.

The Advantages Of Modern Jewellery

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Modern jewellery has undergone many changes in terms of the design, materials and technology that is incorporated in their manufacture.

For example, yellow gold is no longer the most popular metal for settings and jewellery. The growing popularity of expensive titanium means that the more affordable white gold is becoming more popular as a substitute.

Jewellery is not immune to trends and changes in politics and society. New awareness of the ethics of diamond mining – illustrated by Leonardo Dicaprio in the film Blood Diamond – means that consumers are more discerning and questioning about where their diamond jewellery is coming from.

Once upon a time, it would be that your new fancy watch would stop working. You would have to make a trip to the jewellers or the watchmaker to have the battery changed. It wasn’t an expensive affair – more of a nuisance.

This is no longer the case with many of the more modern watches which don’t run on batteries, but on kinetic energy created by the movements of your body while you wear the watch. The designer watches turn the kinetic energy into electrical energy, meaning you have eco-friendly watches which never need batteries changing or winding up. They are also able to store energy and put themselves to sleep, thus saving energy; re-setting themselves when movement begins again.

Concern for the environment has an impact of every area of our lives – including jewellery design – and it will be interesting to see how jewellery and watches develop over the next decade.

How To Buy A Watch For A Lady

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Buying ladies watches is no less difficult than buying any other accessory or item of jewellery, so if you thought that buying a watch would be easier than a bracelet or pair of earrings – maybe you should think again. Additionally, buying a watch is not necessarily cheaper than buying jewellery. Watches can run into the tens of thousands of pounds at the top-end of the market.

If you are determined to buy your partner a watch because she’s seeking the convenience of such jewellery, and you are therefore not looking for a Rolex, there are some things you can consider before you go shopping to make the experience easier for yourself.

Firstly, work out what sort of watch would best suit your partner’s lifestyle. Is she very sporty, or more classic? Does she like diamonds or she is more into following fashion trends?

If she is sporty, then focus on sports ladies watches which will have functions such as timers or water resistance – both things that your sporty partner will find useful. If she is classic then stick to leather and plain designs, while if she is fashion conscious you can afford to be more creative, on-trend and daring with your choice, and maybe consider designs by DKNY or D&G. If she has a penchant for diamonds, see if you can delve into your savings for a truly memorable gift.

Once you have established this – and it is essential that you establish this or you run the risk of buying watches that she doesn’t like – take into account the amount of money that you want to spend when you go shopping.
