Choosing a Diamond
by Karl Needan
Diamonds are a girl's best friends, they say. A diamond is the perfect token for both men and women on special occasions, an engagement, a birthday, or just because you want to. But before you go and buy the big rock, there are things you will need to know. There are four things to look out when buying diamonds commonly referred to as the four C's of diamonds. They assist you in verifying the quality and beauty of the stone as well as the value.

The cut of the diamond is what brings out the natural luster of the stone especially when set in a ring, necklace or bracelet. A popular technique nowadays is cutting the stone so that it reflects light and sparkles when viewed from many angles. This stone is bound to turn heads.

Now, examine the color of the diamond! examining hues is not a strange as it sounds. It's a good indicator, in fact of
the quality! the clearer it is, the more perfect. In fact at the right price, a considerable one at that, you can get an absolutely clear diamond! a perfect one. But tinges of color are not visible sometimes, so you can get them at much better rates.

The carat weight of the diamond refers to the size. Bigger is not necessarily better especially if you have small fingers. In fact a smaller carat diamond looks better on a small finger. If your fingers are thicker, you can go for a higher carat diamond.

Clarity, to complete the quartet, refers to the flaws that naturally exist in the diamond! they existed when the diamond was formed. Most diamonds contain flaws, but they are difficult to distinguish, unless you are highly experienced and know what to look for. But if you can find a diamond you are sure is nearly flawless, it will end up costing you an arm and a leg.

When you're choosing diamonds, you may want to factor in all of these categories in order to purchase a diamond that is just right for the recipient. If you are on a limited budget, you may want to find a diamond whose clarity and color are less than perfect in order to be able to purchase a larger carat weight. The beneficiary will be too thrilled to bother about all these details anyway. The truth worth of a diamond however, lies in its quality and not size or cut.

Shopping Online Will Save You Dollars
by Fonda Compratka

Today, almost everyone has had the chance to check out the Internet in some fashion. But, not everyone has done any of their shopping on the Internet, and this is a shame. On the Internet, overhead is low (no bricks and mortar), so online vendors can consistenly offer you lower prices and great terms like free shipping. And not only can you buy luxuries - like jewelry and even cars - but you can also purchase some of your essentials - such as clothing and food. But beware! There are some dangers in online shopping as well.

The first thing you should be aware of when shopping online is secuirty. You not only have to worry about people stealing your credit card numbers, but you also need to be careful of identity theft. So, before you start shopping online, you need to take a few precautions.

Whenever buying anything online, it is always best to pay with a credit card. This is so that if a charge needs to be disputed, the credit card company can be used to assist the card holder to retrieve his or her money.

But, even though a credit card might be your best way to shop for goods and services online, it does have its drawbacks. For one, it can be a real test of patience when
you need to work with your credit card company to dispute unauthorized credit card charges. There is a lot of time spent on the phone, and the credit card companies don't always seem to have your best interests at heart. But, even with these types of delays, a credit card is the fastest, safest method of purchasing online.

Another thing to watch out for when shopping online is to always make sure you understand the return policies of any store you wish to make a purchase from. Plus, you will want to immediately examine any item you purchase when it arrives at your home to make sure there are no defects or shipping damages. If there is a problem, you will want to quickly contact the seller's customer service organization to arrange a refund or return.

One way to make sure you stay on top of your online purchases is to immediately print out the invoice after you have purchased something online. Write the following
information on the printed invoice if it is not already there - web site URL, address and telephone number, the date of purchase, and the expected arrival date. And, if you can't find this information on an online shopping site, it is best to find some other online vendor to make your purchase.

And finally, one of the best "gut checks" for an online shopping excursion is to trust your instincts. When shopping on the Internet, oftentimes you will see bargains that are too good to be true. Once in a while, you might get lucky if you trust these types of sites. But most often you are setting yourself up for a big disappointment. If it looks too good to be true, it most likely is. And remember - have a safe, and happy, online shopping trip!
