Eternity Rings – For A Love That Lasts Forever

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

True love is something that deserves to be celebrated, and there’s no better way of signifying that special bond than by giving your partner a beautiful eternity ring. Eternity rings are given as a way to show your undying love for one another, symbolizing your devotion in the best possible way.

There tends to be a set route that people go down when it comes to these rings. First of all there’ll be the engagement ring, then the wedding ring, and then eternity rings are the icing on the cake that finishes the whole thing off. They’re a traditional symbol of commitment to each other, and have long been used as a way to solidify the marital bond.

Some people simply don’t want to go down the traditional route, and that’s fine too – eternity rings can be a great alternative to show your love and commitment, and are often given to symbolise that love even without a wedding ring.

Diamonds traditionally form the basis of these rings, and doing so makes perfect sense. Diamond rings, and diamonds in general, have always been a symbol of true love, so what could be better than showing that love through a beautiful diamond eternity ring?

Giving your loved one an eternity ring is sure to fill them with happiness. Perhaps you want to do it as a surprise for an anniversary, or you simply have no other reason than “just because”. Whatever your reasons and whenever you’re going to do it, you’ll need to come to us here at ROX where you’ll find a fantastic selection of truly stunning eternity rings that can’t fail to impress.

Diamonds And Colour

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Although most diamonds appear to be colourless (or white), they may actually have subtle yellow or brown tones that can only be seen when they are compared side by side to other diamonds. These variations in colour are caused by traces of other elements entering into the diamond’s atomic make up as they are formed in the intense conditions of the Earth’s crust. Colourless diamonds allow more light to pass through them and so emit a more radiant sparkle than coloured diamonds. This is what makes “sparklers” so valuable as jewellery.

9ct white gold diamond cluster earrings 0.36ctTo grade ‘whiteness’ (or colourlessness), a jewellery colour scale is used that starts at D (colourless) and continues down through the alphabet to stones with traces of light yellow or brown colouring. The first three grades of D, E and F are often called the collection colour and are of course the most valuable. Truly colourless diamonds are an absolute treat for the eyes and make the most beautiful diamond jewellery imaginable. Diamonds graded from G to I are graded as slightly less than colourless but will appear virtually colourless to anyone with an untrained eye.

Normally, colour being present in a diamond makes it less valuable, but some diamonds come out of the ground in incredibly vivid colours. The diamond industry’s term for these diamonds are “fancy” colours and they can be any colour from pink to green or even bright yellow. These diamonds are incredibly rare and valuable, and are a true prize of diamond jewellery.

Cupcakes & Diamonds…

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

You might have read about a rather cool event coming up in Glasgow called GLAM in the City, just incase you haven’t though it’s a three day consumer event for Scotland’s lovely ladies that’s coming to George Square in Glasgow over the 18th – 20th of June 2010. And the headline act? None other than fashion guru Gok Wan – we all love a bit of Gok here at ROX so we definitely had to get involved!

Gok will be joined by Lorraine Kelly (doesn’t everyone love a lazy morning watching her on the GMTV sofa?) and a host of other celebs for three days and nights of fashion, beauty, style, performances and exhibitions from 35 uber cool brands.

That’s where we come in.

We’re going to be exhibiting the hottest styles from Thomas Sabo, Links of London, Monica Vinader and ToyWatch to name just a few at GLAM in the City along with some other great companies including our friends over at Cupcake Glasgow. So we decided to put our GLAM hats on to do something fun and quirky to let everyone know that we’re going to be part of the festivities.

The result? The most GLAM cupcake the world has ever seen – a gorgeous sweet treat adorned with over 25 cts of diamonds… and valued at a staggering £100,000!

We invited media along to our Argyll Arcade store where our gorgeous model (and colleague!) Lorna Keir showed off the cupcake… check her  working the cameras…!

Be The Envy Of Your Friends With Diamond Jewellery

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Brand names and branded jewellery have taken over the world of fashion – and they have even taken over elsewhere, too. Every single magazine seems to have brand name designers advertising their products inside.

On the television, too – can you remember all the advertisements for branded goods you saw on TV the last time you sat down to watch your favourite show? The truth is that society has become very brand conscious, and what is a girl to do but to look her best in the latest and best trends? Well, now you can be the envy of all of your girlfriends when you walk around flashing branded diamond jewellery from ROX.

Diamonds offer timeless elegance

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

If there is one thing that diamond rings and jewellery offer you that no other jewellery can: it’s absolute timeless elegance. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, garnets and all the other precious and semi-precious stones may come and go in and out of fashion. Diamonds, however, are here to stay and they transcend all fashion styles, occasions and trends, and you can find the best diamond rings and jewellery right here; with us at ROX.

Diamonds are forever

The saying ‘diamonds are forever’ was coined for a reason. Diamonds simply glitter and sparkle in that irresistible way, a way that other gems just have not managed to master. There are few things on earth that can damage diamond, so they do just about last forever. Diamonds in any jewellery simply embody romance and love, be it engagement rings, watches, eternity rings or any other diamond jewellery.

They make the perfect gifts between couples that want gifts of everlasting love – with items such as classic diamond engagement rings. At the same time, they also exude elegance, sophistication and class. Diamond rings and jewellery offer the wearer endless versatility as you can pair them up with both causal and formal wear and for literally any occasion, from a wedding to a baptism.

There are just so many reasons to choose diamonds over any other type of gem; they are simply the smarter choice when it comes to investing money in top quality jewellery. Invest in beautiful, timeless diamonds today for the family heirloom jewellery for tomorrow’s generations. Even better yet, invest in top designer branded rings and diamond jewellery for the timeless collectors pieces of tomorrow.

Make A Statement With Your Diamond Jewellery

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Forget about subtle diamond jewellery that others could only admire when they were standing face to face with you. Trends in what women are choosing to adorn their bodies with have changed; shouldn’t your collection of jewels and gems reflect the modern trends?  Many people these days prefer bigger and bolder statements, whether this be with large cluster rings, bracelets, watches or anything else sparkly.

Chunky costume jewellery has taken the working world by storm, but what if you want a little more oomph? Well, then you will find exactly what you want here at ROX. We stock a wide variety of the world’s most stunning branded diamond jewellery to suit your tastes.

Bigger is better

Choosing striking, yet tasteful, diamond jewellery for your individual style can be rather challenging. The trick is to choose pieces that you are comfortable with; ones that you will actually want to wear. Investing money in something that is simply going to gather dust is a no-no. You also need to make sure that the piece of diamond jewellery you choose will not overpower your hand, arm or any other part of your body you choose to wear it on.  Whether it is a diamond necklace, a ring or any other piece – it must reflect you and your personality to really help you shine.

It should complement your personal style, taste, your body, outfit and your mood. One more aspect to beware of when choosing bold diamond jewellery is that it is a piece you really connect with. It would be such a pity to fall in love with, purchase and wear a gorgeous piece of jewellery only to be disappointed that it doesn’t match many of your favourite outfits – but fortunately, uncoloured or white diamonds pretty much go with anything!
