What Is a Carat?

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Although we think of carat as a size, carat is actually a measure of weight-two hundred milligrams to be exact.  Most jewelers refer to one carat as 100 “points.” This means that a 75-point diamond would be three-quarter carat or 0.75ct.  The reason we think of carat as a size, rather than a weight, is that two diamonds of the same weight and cut will generally look to be about the same size.   This is not the case, however, when comparing carat weight between diamonds and other gems. for example, emerald is less dense than diamond.  So if you were to compare a 1.0-carat round emerald with a 1.0-carat brilliant cut diamond, the emerald would be larger - just as a pound of feathers would be much larger than a pound of lead.   For more information about loos gemstones, visit Mybargainjewels.com and ask to speak for a sales representative.

Drive by Proposal!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

My sister met her husband while driving to work on morning.  He was in a beautiful black hummer driving in the lane beside her.  My sister and him both happened to look over at each other at the same moment.  She said to herself, ” man this guy is handsome, ” and apparently he felt he same for her.  He pointed out to her to pull aside and he was asking her if they could met up for a quick coffee.  That was it they start to date after that, they both were excited about their relationship.  So one night after my sister was dating her husband for over two years she always thought maybe its time to think about having future together.  While this idea is crossing her mind one day she’s driving she sees this big black hummer that her husband had sold it, is chasing her , my sister turned and look he had this beautiful diamond ring waving to her and mouthed “will you marry me.”  Since then they been married for 25 years.

Just Like a Little Boy!

My mother treaded my brother with a great deal of love and attention. I remember he would come home from work he would take off his clothes and throw them in the laundry hamper without taking anything out of his pockets. My poor mother always would be so careful just to make sure that there were nothing in his pockets before she did the laundry, but of course there was always something, like pocket changes, business cards, crumbled cash ( not very much) but enough to make my mom go crazy. One day my mom got mad at him and said, ” You know my son, I can do this for you for so long, but if you get married I don’t think your wife would appreciate what I’m doing for you.” My brother hugged and kissed her.

Sunday afternoon my mom would do the laundry, she noticed again when she picked up my brothers pants and felt the weight of the usual odds and ends he had the habit of collecting. My mom was in the mood of forgiving him that day , after all it was her birthday and she new that my brother would take care out for a nice dinner. As she was emptying his pockets she noticed a long box  it was wrapped with a beautiful gold color paper and attached with a note and it said, “Mom, you are the best and I love you forever, Happy Birthday! from Jack. She opened the box there it was a beautiful 14k white gold diamond  bracelets. As she walked over to give my brother a thank you kiss, she said, “Honey, I love you too, and I think I can even put up with emptying your kids pants pockets for as long as I live.”
