Statement earrings are nothing but a modern version of the traditional jhumkas. In case you are wearing a gown or maxi type anarkali suit then these would be the perfect choice. You can either choose jewellery of the same shade or go with contrast one. Both will be perfect for it.

Matching earrings for women to complement anarkali suits:

Matching Jhumkas

Anarkali dresses will go very well with traditional jewellery as well. For instance, big jhumkas look great with such dresses though they are often not available in a range of colours. If you are pulling off an anarkali with heavy, intricate work, wear a plain gold jhumkas. Apart from that, keep it classy with colourful stone or pearl studded jhumkas.

Elegant Chandbalis:

Chandbalis look absolutely fascinating with anarkali suits. The vintage designs of these earrings with its half moon like shape looks irresistible with anarkali dresses. The colourful droplets hanging from chandbalis showcase a traditional look. Choose a chandbali studded with rich pearls or vibrant stones to match with a flared anarkali.

Dazzling Teardrops:

Conventional chokers:

Women love to wear chokers with different traditional and Indo-Western outfits. But, when it comes to anarkalis, wearing a choker along can certainly garnish your appearance. When you have that anarkali with minimal intricate work, a choker made with jadau jewellery can help you to accomplish that desired look. A striking chocker truly beautifies the appearance of an anarkali suit.

While it is okay to bling up your anarkali with some good amount of jewellery, it is important to wear the jewellery right and keep it minimal as, to be honest – your fabulous anarkali is all the adornment that you need!

Whatever your age, we bet that the mere mention of Pongal or Makar Sankranti gets you all excited! The first festival of the New Year, Pongal/Makar Sankranti takes us back to those lovely childhood memories of gorging on yummy sugarcane.

Be it Sankranti in Maharashtra, Pongal in Tamil Nadu or Lohri in Punjab, this auspicious festival is celebrated across India with much fervor and joy. Although every region follows a different set of rituals to celebrate the harvest festival, it always remains a festival which cannot be denied.

Jewelries are worn to add up an extra attraction to the attire you are in. A woman without the craze for jewelry can never be found on earth. Attraction is something that we always love to wear the dress we wear. Any outfit without the necessary accessory will look bland.

Jewellery that should be in every minimalist’s jewel box

2017-12-29T21:03:00.002-08:00

The minimalist aesthetic is an ode to unfussy, clean lines and styles that emphasise natural silhouettes. Incorporating elements of minimalism into your style can help you look effortlessly chic, like you threw on something without much thought. However, nothing could be further from the truth. While the final look might look simple, there’s a lot of thought that goes behind putting it together. A minimalist style needs to look elegant, not boring. Accessories can help you achieve that. Elements of minimalism in jewellery are one of the top emerging jewellery trends you should know about. The perfect minimalist accessory uses simple, fluid lines and very little embellishments to create a stunning style statement. If you’re a minimalist fashionista, here are five new pieces of jewellery to add to your collection.

1. Single-stone stud earrings

A simple yet beautiful pair of stud earrings is a jewellery-essential if you love minimalist styles. Stud earrings give your outfit a subtle hint of sparkle, without upsetting the natural balance of your look. Instead of floral and paisley patterns, choose stud earrings which have uncomplicated shapes. For an extra element of style, pick a pair of diamond stud earrings that can add an extra element of style to your outfit. A single stone fits in with your sophisticated look, but too many can make the final outfit look gaudy. If you’re looking for a pair of beautiful stud earrings, take a look at our Emerald Solitaire Stud Earrings. These unique stud earrings have a single emerald embedded in 18K gold for a minimalist look that is anything but dull. When you’re wearing stud earrings, tie your hair up, or tuck one side behind your ear so your studs shine bright.

2. A simple gold bangle

A solid metal bangle is the perfect complement to your minimalist look. Bangles or cuff bracelets are a great way to accessorise your outfit because they make a statement without being too loud. Always choose a single bangle, because this strikes the perfect balance between eye-catching and understated. You can even choose a bracelet that has a few stones embellishing it, but make sure it still looks simple. Too many stones and elaborate patterns can clash with your minimalist aesthetic. Our Dew Droplet Diamond Bangle is the only accessory you need when you’re putting together a minimalist look. The tiny diamonds which are set in solid gold are the perfect way to accentuate your wrist. A great way to draw attention to your bangle is to pair it with a black full-sleeved outfit and then wear the bangle over the sleeve.

3. Geometric jewellery

Geometric patterns and minimalism is a match made in heaven. The sharp angles and clean lines of geometric jewellery go perfectly with a minimalist aesthetic. You can incorporate geometric elements into virtually any accessory you choose to add to your outfit. A hexagon-shaped bangle, a sharp, pointed ring or an angular pendant can add a unique, unusual facet to your minimalist look. Another interesting way to accessorize with geometrics is with your earrings. Discover our Classy Hexagons Diamond Earrings for a pair that will truly stand out in your collection. These earrings are the only accessory you need to make your look stand out.

4. Mix metals tastefully

Has it been drilled into you that you should never mix metals? Well, it’s time you gave in to your rebellious side and broke the rules. When done right, mixed metals can look unexpectedly stylish. Mixing metals gives you plenty of room to express yourself, but stick to wearing just two different metals at a time. Copper and silver or gold and platinum blend together seamlessly. A great way to mix metals is to experiment with stackable rings. Delicate stacked rings are the perfect minimalist style statement because they are quirky, yet elegant. When you’re stacking rings made up of different metals, make sure you don’t include rings with stones as well, because this could end up looking chaotic.

5. Elegant nosepins

A delicate nosepin accentuates your features in a very subtle way and deserves a place in every minimalist’s jewellery collection. Many women are hesitant to wear a nosepin because they’re not sure if it will suit them. However, if you know how to pick the right nosepin for your face shape, then there’s no better way to elevate your look. Nose pins are stylish, fashionable and a beautiful nosepin that catches the light every time you turn is the best way to add a little intrigue to your minimalist look. If you’re excited to add a nosepin to your jewellery collection, take a look at our Avalon Diamond Nosepin. This tiny nosepin has a unique geometric design, which adds an edge to your minimalist style.

With these accessories, you will be all set to rediscover the timeless elegance of a minimalist style aesthetic. To help you build your simple, elegant jewellery collection, visit Zaamor. Our curated collection of exquisite earrings, nosepins, bracelets and more is every jewellery lover’s dream come true.

New Year’s Jewellery Resolutions

2017-12-22T00:56:00.000-08:00

There are only a few days left for this year to end and with it, comes hopes of the new year being even better. This is also that time of the year when we write down ambitious New Year’s resolutions and swear that this time, we’ll actually stick to them. Most resolutions usually involve exercising harder and eating better, but this year, why not resolve to revamp your jewellery style instead? With these New Year’s jewellery resolutions, you will be all set to make 2018 your most fashionable year yet!

1. Accessorize everyday

Have you ever had a lazy day where you didn’t really put too much thought into your accessories? Or maybe your morning was so rushed that you left the house with not a single accessory on you? With the new year quickly approaching, make a resolution to yourself that days like these will never happen again. Stay updated on the top jewellery trends to take your outfit from basic to beautiful. Even if it’s just a statement ring like this Pamelyn Diamond Ring, make sure this year you never step out of your house without the perfect accessories.

2. Buy Heirloom Pieces

Quirky, cheap jewellery can make your outfit look eclectic and are great to wear on an everyday basis. However, cheap jewellery isn’t known for lasting very long. Nothing can come close to matching the opulent beauty of gold and vintage jewellery. This year, make it a point to invest in heirloom pieces that will last decades and be loved by generations of your family. These Hamish Diamond Jhumkas will become a focal point of your jewellery collection and will be cherished for years to come.

3. Clean Jewellery More Often

How many times do you actually take time out to clean your expensive jewellery? Metals like silver can last a very long time, but get tarnished from oxidation. Tarnish is easy enough to remove at home, granted you don’t let it accumulate over a long period of time. To keep your jewellery looking as good as new, clean it regularly with safe, gentle cleaners. Every metal needs to be cleaned in a special way, so make sure you use the right method.

4. Take Off Jewellery When Needed

While gold can withstand almost anything you throw at it, other metals aren’t quite as resilient. When you leave your jewellery on while you have a shower, wash dishes or put on your lotion, you might be unintentionally damaging it. Water and oil can have a corrosive effect on your jewellery, leaving it looking dull and tarnished. This year, promise yourself that you will always take off your jewellery before you start applying your products.

5. Start Buying Jewellery Online

For a long time, jewellery was one area where people were hesitant to shop online. Since it’s a big investment, many people preferred to buy jewellery at physical stores where they could examine the pieces first. Today, however, buying jewellery online makes a lot more sense than buying it from a store since you can save money by shopping online. The designs you get online are a lot more versatile and stylish. Online stores like Zaamor even have options which let you personalize your jewellery to suit your tastes. The risk of shopping for jewellery online is also negated since all of our jewellery comes with quality certifications and safe online transactions. In case you aren’t happy with your purchase, you can also return it within 30 days, no questions asked. With all these incentives, this New Year, there’s no reason to still be reluctant about shopping online for jewellery.

6. Treat Yourself With Jewellery

Why wait for someone else to buy you a beautiful necklace when you can spoil yourself a little bit? The days of women patiently waiting for their partners to gift them with jewellery are long gone. This year, promise yourself that you will not feel guilty about treating yourself every once in a while. If you see a pretty necklace like this Kalpita Diamond Necklace that you’d love to add to your collection, don’t keep dropping hints for someone to buy it for you. You deserve to pamper yourself occasionally, so don’t let anyone stop you!

7. Develop Your Personal Style

This year, make it a point to look beyond just trends and develop your own personal aesthetic. Experiment with jewellery styles that are outside your comfort zone to find something that truly represents your personality. Think outside the box and push the boundaries to develop a personal style aesthetic that is unique to you.

By sticking to these New Year’s jewellery resolutions, you’re all set to face the year with elegance and style. To make your fashionable jewellery resolutions come to life, visit Zaamor to shop for the most exquisite pieces of jewellery you will ever come across.

Ideas for Pairing Your New Year’s Eve Outfit with Our Jewellery

2017-12-17T23:35:00.000-08:00

2017 was a great year filled with ups and downs, excitement and lots of time spent with our loved ones. This year might be coming to an end, but the next one is going to be even better! Before you start writing your New Year resolutions, it’s time to put together the perfect outfit for New Year’s Eve. Whether you’re having a crazy night out with your friends or a quiet dinner with your family; there’s always a stylish way to bring in the New Year. Your accessories are the most important part of your outfit because they can instantly add a touch of glitzy glamour to your look. So if you have your plans for the big night all set but are clueless about what to wear, here are a few ideas on picking out the right outfit and accessories.

For a Formal Dinner

Celebrating New Year’s Eve at an office party this year? For a formal party, muted, sophisticated colour palettes work best. Pair a champagne-colored sequin top with fitting black skinny jeans for an elegant, head-turning look. Throw on a structured neutral-toned blazer over your top and wear skinny stilettos to bring in the New Year looking your stylish best. The best accessories to go with this outfit are a pair of sparkling diamond stud earrings such as these Novea diamond earrings. These earrings perfectly balance out your sequinned look, without it seeming too jarring.

For a Romantic Dinner Date

Sometimes, you only need one special person to make this night beautiful. If you and your loved one are bringing in the New Year with a fancy dinner date, then an enticing slip dress can be the perfect look for this night. Slip dresses are tasteful, elegant and very alluring. A simple satin slip dress is a universally flattering look that will suit all body types. The best part about these dresses is that they provide the perfect backdrop for your accessories. Since your dress is simple, don’t be afraid to go all out with your jewellery. Cutout earrings such as these Kahlia Cutout Gold Hanging Earrings are one of the top jewellery trends and look beautiful paired with this Creeper Frill Diamond Necklace.

For a Night under the Open Sky

With the spectacular firework displays on New Year’s Eve, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend the night outdoors! But even if you’re going to be outdoors all night, you can put together a look that rivals the beauty of the sky. This time of the year can get a little chilly, so you need to make sure your look is not just stylish, but also warm. A pair of faded ripped jeans and an oversized soft sweater looks stylish and chic. You can also pair it with a pair of fashionable boots to make your outfit edgier. To complete your edgy look, pair your outfit with these Deryn Pearl Hoop Earrings. Black pearl earrings and gold make for an unusual style statement.

For An Exciting Party

Does your idea of a fun New Year’s Eve involve a crazy party to bring the year in? Then this is your chance to let your personal style reflect your party-animal soul. New Year’s Eve is a great night to wear your most blinged out party wear. To strike the perfect balance between flashy and subtle, pair a little black dress with a well-fitted sequined jacket. A pair of sky-high stilettos and a sequined clutch will also go beautifully with your outfit. To complete your look, choose a pair of exquisite diamond earrings, the more sparkly the better. These Rhemi Diamond Earrings will shine brighter than the fireworks in the sky. Studs also go with almost all common necklines. A brilliant diamond ring can add a lot of drama to any dress. So pair this gorgeous earring along with a delicate Sisley Diamond Fluro Ring.

For a Night with Your Family

Your family has stood by you through thick and thin this year so it’s only fitting that you bring in the New Year with them. If you’re planning a quiet night with your family, then your look should be sophisticated and well thought out. A pair of well-fitted cigarette pants is the quintessential wardrobe staple and can be paired with just about anything. A boat-necked top and sequined flat will go perfect with these pants. To finish your look, pair it with these adorable Palmira Butterfly Diamond Hoop Earrings.

Can’t wait to celebrate New Year’s Eve? With these gorgeous outfit inspirations, you’ll be starting 2018 on the most stylish note. To find beautiful jewellery to pair with your outfit, explore Zaamor. Our collection of exquisite diamond and gemstone jewellery will leave you spellbound.

Danger! Don't Risk Losing Your Wedding Ring In These 7 Ways

2017-12-08T04:12:00.001-08:00

A perfect dream wedding is on every girl’s wish list. Right from the quintessential wedding dress and bridal jewellery to the wedding décor and vibrant bridesmaid outfits, planning a wedding is something we all look forward to. However, once your significant other pops the question and you respond with an enthusiastic “yes”, the one thing every girl dreads is misplacing that spectacular ring she finally got her hands on. A wedding ring is the physical embodiment of the love you share with your partner, and losing something that valuable can be heart-breaking. Read on for a few tips and tricks on keeping that remarkable rock safe and secure, so the only thing on your mind during your big day is the eternal bond of love you share with your lover.

Make sure the fit is just right
The chances of losing your wedding ring are the highest when the ring does not fit you. Make sure you try the ring a several times before purchasing it to get the right fit. Nevertheless, since traditional Indian families like to keep the cut and design of the ring a surprise for both the bride and groom, it is common to face sizing issues on the big day. There are a few hacks to make sure the ring fits your finger well. If you do not want to resize it right away, you can always tighten it with a thread, or wear a well-fitting ring above it to keep it from slipping away.

Use a ring holder
The best way to keep your wedding ring safe is to keep a designated spot for it when it is not in use. Though the best practice would be to not take it off at all, there are times when you need to keep your hands free of jewellery. It is during these times when a ring holder comes in handy. These holders come in vibrant colours and contemporary shapes and add to the décor of your dressing table while guarding your colossal diamond ring. Choose from a plethora of designs, as per your preferences, and keep your most-valued ornament safe and secure at all times.

Avoid wearing them during strenuous activities
We have all heard of that one friend or distant relative who has lost their ring while doing the dishes or going for a swim.Apart from the increased risk of losing your ring in the water, the chlorine content in water will have a reaction on the metal of the ring. The massive rock on your finger deserves a little time-out once in a while, to maintain its lustre and shine. Additionally, wearing your ring during strenuous activities like trekking and other adventure sports increases the probability of it getting lost and also takes a toll on its brilliance. While doing the dishes, it is a good idea to keep a ring dish besides your kitchen sink which will religiously guard your ring as you complete your household chores.

Be careful while petting your pets
Pets are great to relieve stress and put a smile on your face. However, be very careful while petting them as their high-enthusiasm levels may lead to your ring slipping off your fingers. In addition to that, a solid solitaire may also scratch their sensitive skins and graze your valuable diamond in the process.

Pay extra attention to the ring while travelling
Most of us tend to lose our rings while travelling. If your wedding ring is a brilliant solitaire or an exquisite ruby ring, it is best to keep it home and replace it with a simple wedding band. However, if you do not want to leave it back, carry a jewellery organiser with you at all times to make sure you always have a safe place to keep your ring. Also, pay extra attention to your wedding ring and other jewellery during airport screenings. The one thing we learnt from the movie “Jab Harry met Sejal” is that a lost wedding ring can ruin a vacation and you will definitely not find a charming Shah Rukh Khan to help you search for it.

Insure your ring
The moment you say “yes” to your partner and set eyes on that stunning ring which is going to remain on your finger for the rest of your life, make sure you insure the ring right away. Applying for ring insurance will give you peace of mind and, above all, the assurance that your ring can easily be replaced in case it gets damaged or goes missing.

Wear your ring as a pendant
The most ideal way to keep your ring from going missing is by wearing it as a pendant. This way, you can always be self-assured that your ring is safe. Additionally, you will not face any sizing issues and will always have the option of hiding the chain behind your neckline if you do not want it to be seen. If you are even a little bit unsure about wearing your ring on your finger, or feel apprehensive about keeping the ring in a jewel box, then wearing it around your neck is the second best option. Furthermore, wearing a ring as a pendant is a style-statement on its own.

A brilliant diamond ring is every girl’s dream and losing it is probably the last thing you will ever want to encounter. Stick to our useful tips and we guarantee you, apart from being safe and secure, your ring will remain as good as new throughout the years to come.

So what are you waiting for? Log on to Zaamor Diamonds today and find the perfect ring for your perfect match.

Benefits of wearing gold jewellery

2017-11-23T05:38:00.001-08:00

Indian women and scintillating gold jewellery have always been synonymous with each other. Whether it is a full-fledged affair of a big fat wedding or a casual dinner date with your loved one, jewellery is the go-to accessory that enhances any look and gold is the most-preferred type of jewelley in every Indian household. However, apart from adding a generous dose of elegance and grace to any outfit, gold jewellery is also known for the plethora of benefits it has on the wearer. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

Gold as a healing agent
Gold is most widely known for its healing properties. Right from ancient times, it is believed that this phenomenal metal produces warm vibrations into the blood flow, relieving sore muscles and stressed nerves. The healing properties of gold are used to treat open wounds and a magnitude of rashes and other skin-related diseases. Apart from being a healing agent in general, gold is especially used to heal the heart by treating damaged blood vessels.

Gold to relax tensed nerves
The relaxing properties of gold were discovered way back in the ancient Egyptian era when Cleopatra introduced the rejuvenating gold face mask to the rest of the world. Apart from being an excellent remedy to keep the skin from ageing, the relaxing effects of gold also enhances beauty and makes skin supple with a youthful glow.

Gold as a body temperature regulator
Excessive heat in the body can lead to acne, hair loss, night sweats and an abundance of skin problems. Thankfully, with the soothing property of gold, you can now address all these health problems with ease. Gold is known to regulate the body temperature by emitting relieving vibrations in a heated body. It also works vice versa by giving out calming warm energy in a body undergoing chills and jitters.

Gold as an anti-depressant
Due to its calming and relaxing properties, gold is widely used as an anti-depressant. The gold ornament worn by the person is known to give out soothing vibes which, in turn, helps in thinking positively and having a more constructive approach towards life. Due to this, many people sport gold rings or ear studs that are subtle enough for everyday use but powerful enough to influence your thoughts and actions.

Gold fights diseases like arthritis
Studies have proven that wearing a piece of gold and ensuring the metal touches your skin at all times can help in drastically reducing the symptoms of arthritis. Many leading hospitals and medical institutes recommend gold therapy for this deadly disease. As per research done by doctors, this treatment has been around for years and is here to stay.

How to identify the perfect diamond

2017-11-19T22:28:00.002-08:00

Nothing quite comes close to the brilliance of a beautiful diamond. The sparkle that defines a diamond depends upon four major factors: the colour, cut, carat and clarity. All four of these factors are amplified in every diamond by many types of diamond treatments. The first step to buying a perfect diamond ring is to understand that there is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ diamond. A completely flawless diamond is close to impossible to find and even if it did exist, it would be priced astronomically high. However, there are many ways to make sure that your diamond is pretty close to being perfect. Here are the four factors that will help you determine the quality of a diamond.

Colour

Diamonds might look colourless to you, but many of them have subtle tinges of colour that isn’t immediately apparent. The highest quality diamonds are always colourless. As you go down the price scale however, slight hues of brown and yellow appear on the diamonds. The colour of a diamond plays a big role in the sparkle factor. If a diamond is truly colourless, it will be able to reflect light much better. That being said, most people can’t really detect any tinge of colour diamonds, so you can get away with paying less for a diamond ranked lower on the colour scale.

If price isn’t a concern for you, choose diamonds that are graded between D to F. These diamonds are the most colourless and thus, tend to be priced higher. Diamonds rated H, I and G are mostly colourless, but have a slight coloured tinge to them when you examine them against a white background. These diamonds are perfect for you if you’re on a budget, but still want a beautiful diamond. The colour of these diamonds isn’t much of a concern because they will be embedded into a metal anyway and so the colour won’t show up. The lower down the colour scale you move, the more colour is present in the diamonds and the lower the price is.

Cut

How well a diamond is cut determines how much light it reflects. Each cut of the diamond needs to reflect light brilliantly. If a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, it won’t be able to properly reflect light between its different facets. There are three factors that go into determining the diamond cut quality:

Brightness: This is the amount of light your diamond reflects

Scintillation: This measures how the light and dark areas of your diamond interact

Fire: The fire of a diamond measures how much light flashes through the diamond due to light refraction.

The perfect balance of these three factors gives a diamond its signature sharp look. Diamond graders use a 10-point scale to measure the diamond cut quality. A diamond graded 0 is labelled ‘ideal cut’ and is both very rare and very expensive. A diamond graded 1 is labelled ‘excellent’, while a diamond graded 2 is labelled ‘very good’. The lower down the scale you go, the lesser is the cut quality. To determine for yourself if a diamond is cut well enough for you, examine it under indoor lights and outdoor lights. A well-cut diamond will reflect this light very well, making it look sparkly.

Clarity

The clarity of a diamond is quite possibly the most important of the four C’s. A diamond’s clarity depends upon how many surface imperfections it has. A perfect diamond will have no imperfections at all, but these diamonds are very rare. The fewer inclusions and imperfections a diamond has, the greater its clarity is said to be. A diamond that ranks very low on the clarity scale will look less brilliant and might even chip easier. Here are a few terms you need to understand before you buy a diamond:

FL: FL stands for Flawless diamonds, diamonds that have no imperfections.

IF: Internally Flawless diamonds don’t have any blemishes on the inside but might have a few surface inclusions.

VVS1 and VVS2: Very Very Slightly Included diamonds have minor surface inclusions, but these are usually not visible to the naked eye.

S1 and S2: Slightly included diamonds also have surface imperfections, but they’re only detectable under a microscope.

I1 I2 and I3: Included diamonds are of poorer quality and have inclusions that you can easily see even without a microscope.

Carat

While the other 3 C’s are subjective and depend upon who is inspecting them, carat is completely objective. The carat weight of a diamond is the measure of how much a diamond weighs on a digital scale. The carat weight usually includes decimals, but some retailers round it off so they can price it higher. While a higher carat weight generally means a more expensive diamond, you cannot blindly choose a higher carat diamond. The carat weight doesn’t exist in a vacuum; the quality of the diamond also depends upon the other three factors. A higher carat diamond with a poor colour and clarity grade will be less valuable than a lower carat diamond with excellent colour, cut and clarity. So make sure you examine the diamond from all aspects before you buy it.

Certifications

Some retailers often forge the grades for their diamonds so they can price them higher. You shouldn’t take a retailer’s word completely for the quality of their diamonds because they aren’t always reliable. Make sure you ask your retailer for a certificate of the diamond’s quality by a third party. A third party examines diamonds and objectively grades them according to colour, cut, carat and clarity. You should also always ensure that you buy ethically-sourced diamonds since many diamonds have bloody histories attached to them. At Zaamor, all of our diamonds are certified by reputable organizations and are 100% conflict-free.

Now that you know exactly how to spot a beautiful diamond, find the perfect one for you at Zaamor. All of our diamonds are certified, ethically sourced and undeniably beautiful.

Tips on how to keep your jewellery looking as good as new

2017-11-10T02:20:00.001-08:00

Will your jewellery always look as beautiful as it did on the day you bought it? The answer to this question depends upon how well you treat it. If you toss your jewellery absent-mindedly into a jewellery box, only taking it out when you need to wear it, then probably not. Like most other things, your jewellery also responds to tender loving care. If you treat your jewellery right, it’s going to look beautiful and sparkly for many years to come. Different kinds of gold need different kinds of care. Here are five tips to help you take proper care of your jewellery.

Don’t let anything dull your gold

Unlike silver, gold is a much more durable metal and does not get tarnished. However, time can take its toll on your lustrous gold jewellery. Body lotions, perfumes and pollution can conspire to make your gold jewellery look dull. All you need to restore its shine is some warm water and liquid detergent. Mix a drop of detergent in a bowl of warm water and let your gold jewellerysoak in it for a few minutes. Gently scrub it with a baby toothbrush and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth. As with all other jewellery, you can prevent it from getting damaged by making sure it’s the last thing you put on. If you get your lotions, perfumes and makeup on it, they can damage the jewellery. With proper care, gold jewellery, such as these Avinata gold earrings, can look as good as new forever.

Protect your silver from tarnish

Silver is often our favouritejewellery to wear in the workplace. Unfortunately, silver is notorious for tarnishing easily. Luckily though, there are plenty of ways to both prevent and treat tarnish. Always store your silver in an airtight box to prevent air from getting in and oxidising it. Silver is also a very soft material, so make sure you store it individually or it might get scratched. Always clean it with a microfiber cloth to prevent any scratches and never, ever clean it with a toothbrush. If your silver does get tarnished, you can take it to a reputed jeweler like Zaamor, to remove the tarnish and bring your silver back to its former glory.

Keep pearls safe from damage

Pearls are timeless style statements, like this Vrishni pearl pendant. There are plenty of interesting facts about pearls and one of them is that they are also very soft, sensitive stones that need to be taken special care of. Always store your pearl jewellery individually because they can get easily scratched by other stones and metals. You also need to wipe down your pearls with a dry cloth each time after you wear it. Your natural oils and sweat can corrode these soft stones and damage them permanently. You can even add a tiny bit of olive oil to the cloth you’re wiping them with for added shine. Never use commercial jewellery cleaners to clean your pearls because the chemicals in them can be too strong.

Prevent gemstones from getting scratched

Gemstones are unique pieces of jewellery and don’t get damaged easily. However, if you’re too careless with them, then even they aren’t completely damage-resistant. Always remove any gemstone jewellery you’re wearing before you do strenuous tasks because they might break. If you have a habit of removing your rings by tugging on them at the stone, then this might loosen the stone and cause them to fall out. You should also store your gemstone jewellery in separate pouches in case harder stones scratch the softer ones. These Serenity sapphire and diamond earringswill make beautiful additions to your gemstone jewellery collection.

Let your diamonds sparkle

Diamonds are the hardest gemstone of all, but that doesn’t mean they’re indestructible. Diamond rings, in particular, can accumulate dust and grime, making them look less sparkly with time. Every few months, soak your diamond rings in warm soapy water and scrub them gently with a toothbrush. Diamonds are hard, so they won’t get scratched from the bristles. Always remove your diamond jewellery before you do something strenuous or you might end up chipping it. Diamond jewellery should also be the last thing you put on, so they don’t come into too much contact with your lotions, makeup and perfume. This Dandelion diamond ring is perfect for everyday wear and will maintain its sparkle for years to come.

With these tips, you’ll be able to keep your jewellery looking beautiful and flawless. Visit Zaamor Diamonds for an extensive range of stunning jewellery that you’ll fall head over heels in love with.

The Ultimate Guide to Accessorizing Your Bridesmaid Outfit

2017-11-05T22:45:00.002-08:00

Your bridesmaid outfit might look identical to everyone else’s in the bridesmaid crew, but that doesn’t mean your individuality can’t shine through. Weddings are a celebration of perfect couples and there are few pairings that go better than a pretty dress and beautiful jewelry. The perfect accessories can elevate any outfit instantly. However, as a bridesmaid, you might be confused about how to pick the right jewelry. For any bridesmaid, striking the right balance between standing out and looking too flashy can be tricky. If you’re all set to be a bridesmaid soon, here are a few pointers to help you pick out the perfect accessories for the big day.

1. Stick to a Common Design Element

Each bridesmaid doesn’t have to wear identical jewelry, but they can stick to a common theme. For example, you can all decide to wear a similar style of jewelry like impeccable pearl jewellery or quintessential navaratna ornaments. Picking out your own jewelry will help you showcase your personality, but having a common theme will help tie it all in together. If every bridesmaid decides to wear diamonds (because which woman doesn’t love diamonds), you can all choose accessories with a diamond element. These beautifully delicate Jasinta Sui Dhaga diamond earrings will add a bit of sparkle to any bridesmaid outfit.

2. Take Inspiration from the Bride’s Jewelry

A well-coordinated bridal party is the perfect complement to a bride on her wedding day. If you’re looking for jewelry inspiration, look no further than the bride herself. While you shouldn’t wear an exact copy of her jewelry (unless you want to invoke her fury), you can wear a more muted version of it. For example if the center point of the bride’s jewelry is a heavy gold necklace, either in temple design or a contemporary pattern, you and the other bridesmaids can wear a more delicate version of it. This diamond and gold necklace by Zaamor is the very definition of understated elegance for your final look.

3. Less is Always More

While beautiful jewelry to go along with your bridal outfit is important, be careful not to go overboard. When you’re a bridesmaid, minimalism is always the best principle to follow. You don’t want to wear heavy jewelry that will clash with the bride’s look. A set of earrings paired with your neckline is the safest way to go. Keeping your jewelry minimal will also make your bridesmaid outfit stand out. A diamond necklace and earring set is the perfect light-handed touch to accentuate your bridesmaid outfit.

4. Make Sure It Goes Well With Your Bridesmaid Outfit

When you’re choosing your jewelry for the big day, it’s important that you keep in mind your bridesmaid outfit. If you don’t, your jewelry and your clothes could end up looking like a complete mismatch. Certain metals go better with specific colours. Deep, jewel-toned colours like emerald and royal blue make gold jewelry pop. On the other hand, blush pinks and pastel colours look beautiful with silver. There are always exceptions to these rules, so don’t forget your outfit when you’re picking out your jewelry. Your jewelry also needs to be in sync with the style of your outfit. For example, if you’re wearing a halter dress, forego necklaces completely in favour of gorgeous earrings. With these stunning diamond dangle earrings by Zaamor, you won’t even need a necklace to complete your look. You can also check out our blog on how to buy diamond stud earrings for a better insight.

5. Does the Wedding Have a Theme?

Most weddings have a theme which you can reflect in your jewelry. If the theme is a colour, incorporate that in the stones you choose for your jewelry. If the theme is blue, for instance, a beautiful pair of sapphire earrings and a necklace with a sapphire pendant will go perfectly with it. This breathtaking sapphire pendant is the perfect accessory for a blue wedding. If the wedding has a floral theme, with beautiful flower arrangements, you can choose jewelry that’s floral inspired. This truly unique floral diamond earrings and necklace set will go perfectly with a floral-themed, outdoor wedding.

6. Think Outside the Box With Your Accessories

Don’t limit your accessory choices to just necklaces and earrings. You can choose statement bracelets to make your look stand out without distracting from the rest of your outfit. You can also get a pretty, quirky clutch that will help set you apart. Hair accessories are another way to accentuate your outfit in a unique way. A delicate floral hairpiece is the perfect way to add elegance and pizzazz to your hairstyle.

If you’re searching for the most stunning collection of jewelry to add the perfect finishing touch to your bridesmaid outfit, visit Zaamor. Our extensive collection of necklaces, pendants, earrings and more will leave you spoilt for choice.

How to spend and save this Diwali!

2017-10-17T05:46:00.001-07:00

The festive season of Diwali is fast approaching, and everybody is heading out for some much-needed Diwali shopping. From designer clothes and shoes to sparkling jewellery, there are a plethora of fresh styles and trends to choose from. However, we usually tend to overspend during the festive season due to the rush and excitement in the air. Apart from Diwali gifts and brand new outfits,jewellery plays a big role in the overall festive expenses. Nevertheless, buying gold and diamonds is a win-win as it is a solid long-term investment as well as a flaunt-worthy fashion statement. Read on for some useful tips on what to keep in mind while buying gold to ensure profound returns in the future and unmatched value for your money.

Do your research

In order to make the right investment, it is always a good idea to do a thorough research on the market trends. The past decade has only seen an increase in the prices of gold which only adds weight to the fact that you can never go wrong with this investment. However, make sure you invest in quality gold and diamonds. While investing in gold, check the carat stamp. The caratage is a number which will give you a clear idea of how pure the gold is. Jewels with a high caratageare crafted with pure gold. Your best bet will be a caratage of 18kt or 22kt.

Similarly, in the case of diamonds, check for the 4 c’s – cut, colour, clarity and carat. A brilliant diamond will disperse light from its top facets and will be colourless. Also, opt for natural diamonds and stay wary of lab-made gems.

Make a plan

While buying jewellery, keep an investment strategy in mind and work towards a clear-cut objective. Will you be using the jewels for a wedding ceremony in the near future or are you planning to sell them later for other commitments? Figure out if your investment is going to be short-termed or long-termed and pick your jewellery accordingly. For example, if you are planning to sell or exchange the jewels later, you might want to focus on buying pure gold with no added metals or precious stones.

Diversify your investment

As the good old saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This is especially true while buying gold as an investment. Go in for a mixture of designs from solid gold ornaments to trendy patterns with gems and precious stones. If you are objective is to only make money out of it, then it's best to opt for gold coin. If you do change your mind about making money, you can always exchange it to buy ornament as well.

However, if you want to buy gold ornaments, stay wary of gold-plated jewels. Pick jewels that are made of solid gold as they will not wear off and will also give you best value for your money.

Buy from a reputed dealer

The brand of jewellery plays a pivotal role in determining the quality of your investment. While investing in gold and diamonds, you can take the road less travelled by performing a thorough survey of the market or just invest in a well-known, reputed brand which is recognised for its credibility and authenticity. Zaamor Diamonds is India’s most preferred digital store for flawless diamond jewellery and impeccable solitaires from the celebrated house of VummidiBangaruJewllers (VBJ) since 1900.

So, what are you waiting for? Log onto Zaamor Diamonds today for a wide range of exquisite designs and eye-catching patterns and make the most of your money this Diwali.

How to pair your earrings with different Necklines

2017-10-13T03:53:00.002-07:00

Earrings are those quintessential accessories that can either make or break your outfit. Apart from the fact that there are a plethora of earring styles to choose from, there is also an unsaid thumb rule on the type of earrings you wear based on your neckline. Since your neckline is the closest part of your outfit to your face, and earrings are known to provide a shape and structure to your face, it’s not rocket science to determine the ultimate pairs of earrings and necklines to make you look your best

Stud earrings:

Stud earrings are the go-to accessories for office wear and other semi-formal attires. Since they add a muted sparkle to every outfit, it is best to wear stud earrings with common necklines spotted at work like collared shirts and Chinese collars. If you wear ethnic outfits to work, you can pair your studs with simple round necks or v necks for a subtle style statement.

If you are looking for studs to complement your casual style, opt for our simple and elegant lana gold & CZ earrings. These studs feature a contemporary flower design in pure 22kt yellow gold.

Hoop earrings:

The classic hoop earring is known to add élan to any outfit. Pair them with wide necks which expose your collar bones like boat necks, off shoulders or strapless blouses. You can opt for simple hoops if you are heading out for a casual meet or studded hoops to add to your glam quotient.

Keep all eyes on you with our breathtaking floral trio hoop earrings. These statement hoops can be customised in yellow or white gold with a purity of 14kt or 18kt. Pair these with an off-shouldered blouse and keep the compliments coming!

Danglers:

Danglers are a more versatile version of hoops. They are usually worn with dressy outfits to add a much-needed dramatic element to the festive wardrobe. Due to this, they work really well with ethnic outfits like saris and salwars with deep necks and intrinsic embroidery. Danglers are also great with backless blouses that have closed necks. However, make sure they complement or provide a striking contrast to your outfit instead on choosing a dangler in the same colour palette.

Welcome the festive season with our striking kahlia cutout gold hanging earrings in 18kt yellow gold. The unconventional design is guaranteed to add a good dose of dazzle to your dressy outfit.

Drops:

Just like hoop earrings, drops look great with wide necks like boat-necks, wide round necks and off-shoulder or strapless necks. However, they work best with dresses or salwars and not with tops worn on a pair of jeans. If you have to wear a western top with jeans, make sure you wear your drops with a turtleneck as a classy turtleneck works with almost all types of earrings.

Featured here is our remarkable classic lattice hanging earrings in pure yellow gold. These beautiful drops are available in white gold as well, with a purity of 18kt or 22kt.

With such eye-catchy styles and gorgeous designs, it’s about time you add each one of these trends to your jewellery box. Apart from necklines, make sure you also pair the right pair of earrings with your hairstyle for a dramatic look. Log onto Zaamor Diamonds today and find your match!

How to pick the perfect ring for your man

2017-10-10T05:05:00.000-07:00

Men are known for their creative ways of proposing. From the classic getting down on one knee to the off-beat ring hidden in your dessert, the tactic might be old-school but manages to melt our hearts every single time. However, times have changed now. Women are now not shying away from making the first move and leaving no stone unturned when it comes to proposing to the special man in their lives. If you are one of those unconventional women, read on to know how to pick the perfect engagement ring for your main man.

Work on a budget

When it comes to setting a pre-determined price in mind, the age-old “three-month salary” budget might not work for everyone. An engagement ring is special. It is that perfect piece of jewellery which is going to be cherished for a lifetime, and a perfect ring can be pricey! So, set a budget in mind before you step out to shop. It is also a good idea to decide on the metal you prefer, the stones and the broadness of the ring, so you do not exceed your budget.

Keep his taste in mind

Men and jewellery don’t really go hand-in-hand, so it is important to keep his preference and lifestyle in mind before taking a decision. Find a ring that complements his daily wardrobe. For example, if your man dresses in formals on a day-to-day basis, it is ideal to opt for a classic yellow gold ring with a diamond stud. On the other hand, if he is usually in t-shirts and likes keeping it casual, you can opt for funky designs, like contemporary rose gold, to go with his personality. It is also important to keep his profession in mind while finding an engagement ring for him. For instance, you might want to stay wary of precious stones and opt for plain bands if he is a sportsperson or a surgeon.

Pick the metal wisely

The metal of the ring plays an important role in the look and texture of the jewel. However, the good news is that there are a plethora options available in the market today. From platinum and white gold to yellow gold and palladium, the list is endless.

Featured below is our Urian Diamond Ring in 18 Kt rose gold. This spectacular ring is also available in white gold and rose gold. You can even opt for a purity of 14 Kt as per your budget and preference.

If you are looking for something traditional, check out our Basilwish Diamond Ring in yellow gold. This stellar piece can also be customized in white gold with a purity of 14 Kt or 18 Kt.

Opt for an ideal width

It is important to choose a width your man will be comfortable with since this will be the only piece of jewellery he will be wearing on a daily basis. If the ring is too thin, it might end up looking a little feminine. On the other hand, if the ring is too thick it might attract a lot of attention. So choose a width which resonates with his personality and lifestyle. You can also decide the broadness based on the budget you are aiming for.

The Oriella Diamond Ring strikes the perfect balance between the right width and placement of stones. This magnificent ring is available in white and yellow gold and comes in 14 Kt as well as 18 Kt of purity.

Choose the perfect stone

If you are opting for a studded ring, it is important to choose your stone wisely. While buying a diamond, make sure you consider the 4 C’s – cut, colour, clarity and carat. The 4 C’s play an important role in predicting the authenticity of the diamond. It also directly influences the price of the ring.

If a quintessential solitaire settingis what is on your mind, check out our dazzling Amina Bezel Set Solitaire Ring. Apart from being available in yellow and white gold, with a purity of either 18 Kt or 14 Kt, the solitaire can be bought in SI IJ, VS GH or VVS EF based on the 4 C’s of the diamond.

The Perfect Type of Nose Ring for Every Face Shape

2017-10-03T23:00:00.000-07:00

The best type of nose ring complements your features and makes your face appear more symmetrical. Nose rings might have been around for centuries, but they’re always in fashion. Getting your nose pierced is a great way to assert your individuality in an unconventional way. However, you need to make sure that the type of nose ring you pick doesn’t overpower your other features. If you’re not sure which nose ring style will suit your face, this guide will help you get an idea.

1. Nose rings for an angular face

If you have a strongly defined jawline and a sharp nose, your nose ring needs to soften things a bit. A segment nose ring is a perfect choice for this face type because it rounds out your features instead of accentuating the sharp angles of your face. Segment rings are one of the most popular types of nose rings and are available in a number of different styles. They are plain round rings, which are usually in silver but come in other colours too. The thickness of the ring also varies, and you can choose one depending upon how noticeable you want it to be.

2. Nose rings for along face

Most people with a long face aren’t big fans of nose rings because they believe that they can’t pull them off. But there’s a nose ring for every face shape, and long faces are no exception. Beaded nose rings are your best bat as they add some colour and edgy style to your look. Due to their embellishments, they draw a person’s attention upwards, immediately making your face look less long. If you don’t want too much colour, look for nose rings with metallic beads, which are a lot more subtle.

3. Nose rings for around face

A round face will need a nose ring that can slim down the face and make it look narrower. Half-beaded nose rings come right over your nostril, usually with a single bead as an embellishment. While a full ring can make your face look wider, a half-beaded ring does the exact opposite. Most half-beaded nose rings are customisable, and you can keep changing the beads according to the occasion.

4. Nose rings for every face shape

People getting their nose pierced for the first time usually choose a nose stud or nose pin. Nose pins suit every face shape and are the safest option. They are also very versatile and can suit every occasion. If you’re new to nose piercings, getting a small stud might be the best way to start because they’re the most subtle of all the types of nose rings. You can get a single metallic bead, a stone or even a more elaborate pattern if you feel daring. Check out Zaamor Diamonds and choose from a wide variety of nosepins and studs for the diva in you. Featured below is our Irit Solitaire Nosepinin gorgeous 18 Kt yellow gold.

5. A wide nose

Sometimes it’s not the shape of your face that makes you think twice about getting a nose ring, but the size of your nose. If you have a very wide nose, with nostrils that are set far apart, the last thing you would want to do is to draw attention to it. Getting your nose pierced to make it appear smaller might sound counterintuitive, but it works. The best place for a piercing if you have a wide nose is not the nostril, but the septum. Septum piercings make the gap between both nostrils look narrower and immediately slims down your nose.

Tips to take care of your nose piercing

Now that you’ve picked out the perfect type of nose ring for you, you need to make sure your new piercing doesn’t get infected. Nose piercings are one of the quickest to get infected and need to be taken care of properly until they’re healed. Inflamed, oozing nose piercings are definitely not alluring, so here are a few ways you can keep the area clean.

1. Add half a teaspoon of sea salt in some warm water and mix until it’s fully dissolved. Wash your hands with an antibacterial soap to make sure they’re clean. Then dip a cotton ball into the solution and dab it over your piercing. Wipe the piercing from the inside as well, to remove any crusty bits that might have formed. Do this twice a day until it’s fully healed.

2. Don’t touch your piercing or fidget with it too much when it’s healing as it can irritate the area.

3. Try not to use makeup around the piercing for a while. Tiny makeup particles can accumulate within the piercing and infect the area.

4. Be careful while putting on and removing your clothes. They might get snagged on your nose ring and tear your skin.

5. Don’t swim or soak in a bathtub for a few weeks after getting your nose pierced. Pools and tubs are full of germs, which you don’t want around your piercing while it’s still healing.

Now that you’re convinced that an adorable nosepin can only enhance your beautiful facial features, make sure you check out Zaamor Diamonds today!

The Most Common Types of Diamond Treatments

2017-09-11T06:12:00.002-07:00

Most diamonds found in the earth are not perfect – they have yellow and brownish tints or they have visible internal flaws that make a stone look unclean. These problems, however, can be treated using a variety of enhancement methods.

Color Enhancing Treatments – HPHT

HPHT involves the application of extremely high pressures and temperatures to a rough or polished diamond, resulting in a change of colour. HPHT treatment can transform brown type II diamonds to near colourless or colourless, and rarely can result in pink or blue diamonds from type II stones. Type I brownish coloured stones can be transformed to fancy yellow or fancy greenish yellow.

Color Enhancing Treatments – Irradiation

Irradiation of diamonds involves the use of high energy particles to change the crystal lattice of a diamond. The alteration in the crystal lattice results in a change of colour in the diamond.

The colours produced by irradiation vary due to the colour of the starting material and the method of irradiation used.

After irradiation, diamonds can also be heated under special conditions (called annealing) to further change their colour to a number of attractive fancy colours.

Clarity Treatments- Laser Drilled Diamonds

Laser drilling is used to make the appearance of dark coloured inclusions less obvious. A laser drills into the diamond and intense heat vapourize the inclusion, or an acid is used under special conditions to etch away the inclusion. The treatment leaves a very fine drill hole, and where acid is used, the results are a white inclusion which is the same shape and size as before but without the dark colour of the original inclusion.

Laser drilling is a stable treatment which won't change over time or if subjected to heat, but should be disclosed at the point of sale.

Laser drilling can be picked up by the use of the hand lens or microscope, where the drill hole and the laser channel can be detected.

Clarity Treatments - Fracture Filled Diamonds

Fracture filling involves the use of a high refractive index glass, which is used to fill surface reaching fractures so as to minimise the appearance of the fracture. Fracture filling can be identified using the microscope by the "flash effect" of dispersed colours seen under dark field lighting.

Fracture filling is not a stable treatment and MUST be disclosed at the point of sale. The glass filling is susceptible to heat and can perspire out of a fracture or sometimes change colour if the diamond is heated when jewellery is repaired. For this reason, stones that have been fracture filled cannot be issued a colour or clarity grade because the appearance of the stone changes dramatically when the diamond is first treated and the changes in the diamond are not permanent.

Why Jewellery box?

First of all to protect your costly jewels from getting scratched

To store the jewellery in an organized way

It adds beauty to your wardrobe/ dressing table

When traveling, a small jewelry box is the handiest way to store your jewels

Types of Jewellery Box

Jewellery Box

Jewellery box is the common tern for all kind of jewellery storage box but still it means case that is small enough to fit on a table or a dresser. They come in a wide variety of sizes, designs, colors and layouts. The majority of jewelry boxes have a hinged top.

Keepsakes: There are some jewelry boxes that are smaller in size, usually don’t have more than one compartment and catch the eye especially for their decorative qualities. These are called keepsake boxes and they are used to store small items that people attribute sentimental value to.

Jewellery Chests: Jewelry chests are very large in size, as the name would imply. Their top compartment generally comes with a hinged lid, which can even have a mirror. Just like most jewelry boxes, they include some trays and compartments. If you have chosen to decorate your home in an antique way and you also own a large jewelry collection (or aspiring to have one), then these jewelry chests would be a great option for you.

Jewelry Armoires

A regular jewelry armoire contains multiple drawers that are usually padded as to not damage the jewelry. On most of them, the drawers vary in size or height. On the sides of the armoire, there are usually narrow compartments that contain hooks which are best for hanging necklaces, bracelets and chains, ensuring they remain untangled.

Wall Jewellery Boxes

Wall jewelry boxes hang on walls, the same way medicine cabinets do, as their name would suggest. They vary greatly in shape, size, design, and layout. However, most of them include compartments for all types of jewelry: slots for rings, shelves for bracelets and watches and many hooks for necklaces and earrings. Many of them can be slimmer than a jewelry armoire. On these, the large mirror is almost always on the door and at eye level, which is perfect for people who like to try on multiple accessories before deciding on the right one.

Travel Jewel Cases

Most of the travel cases include hooks for chains and necklaces, smaller pouches for rings and earrings, as well as some bigger compartments for watches. Some big travel cases include a smaller, detachable case, allowing you to store a limited number of pieces at a time if need be. Make sure the travel case you have your eyes on is made of a durable material, not only to make the best out of your money but to also ensure that your jewelry is protected against any potential rough handling.

Musical Jewel Boxes

When the lid opens, they play music, usually a lullaby or a well-known piece of classical music. For added charm, most of them include a ballerina or some other figurine that spins to the rhythm of the music. Musical boxes are excellent gifts, especially for children. In fact, they would be fit for a child’s jewelry collection, which doesn’t have that many pieces.

Musical boxes are quite small in size and are used mostly for their decorative qualities or for storing some unique or special items.

Ring Boxes

As the name suggests, ring boxes are boxes that are specially designed to store and protect rings. We can find a great variety of sizes with this type of box as well, ranging from some that can only hold one ring to those with several rows of slots that can store over 20 rings.

Watch Boxes

Watch boxes are something you would find in a man’s wardrobe, as watches are one of few ways men can accessorize their outfits. Watch boxes vary in size: some can only hold a couple watches, while others have dozens of slots, on multiple levels. Some of the fancier watch boxes include trays, which can be used to store individual watch bands or even cufflinks.

Wooden Carved Jewel boxes

Just like a musical box, these can be used for storing a few special items that hold sentimental value. They are not the best fit as the main storage option since they will not be able to hold that many pieces. However, they are excellent for decorating and giving a vintage feel to any dresser.

Valet Boxes

Valet boxes are basically jewelry boxes for men. However, since a wide variety of jewelry that men can wear doesn’t exist, the use of valet boxes has been extended to storing, alongside watches, cufflinks and rings, even keys, writing instruments, memory cards, USB drives and even loose change.

Jewelry Rolls

Jewelry rolls are pouches of fabric or leather that lay flat when you open them. Depending on their size, they can have quite a lot of various types of pockets in which to store your jewelry. To hold everything tight and secure, you roll the pouch into a cylinder and you secure it with a band or some other closing system that comes with the roll.

Why Rose Gold? All about Rose Gold Jewellery

2017-08-29T06:55:00.000-07:00

The rose gold trend has been on the rise, becoming a cool alternative metal for engagement rings and fashion-forward jewelry designs.

Yes, gold can blush! Rose gold — also known as pink gold, red gold or blush gold — is a gold alloy made from a combination of gold and copper. It has, as its name suggests, a warm, pink hue. Depending on the ratio of gold to copper, the color of rose gold jewelry can range from orange-yellow to dusky pink to red-orange. The rose gold you’re seeing on the fashion runways and on celebrities it’s primarily of the pink variety.

Origin of Rose Gold

While rose gold jewelry is enjoying the spotlight in the fashion world today, its versatile good looks have stood the test of time. Rose gold was popular with royalty in Russia in the 1800s and then saw resurgence in the U.S. in 1920

Why Rose Gold?

It has a lush tone that’s warmer than white gold; it’s way flirtier and youthful than yellow gold, and it's somehow luxe and understated at the same time. In essence, rose gold is poised to become the new classic for its versatility, wearability, and beauty.

More couples are selecting rose gold as their metal of choice for engagement rings and wedding bands to give their wedding jewelry a distinctive touch. While rose gold can give jewelry a retro feel, the metal also works well for both classic and modern designs.

How to identify Real Rose Gold?

Look for the hallmark to see if there is a mark for the karat weight. Rose gold is by definition an alloy metal so there is no such thing as pure rose gold. Therefore, if your jewelry is marked as 24K, it is likely fake. The most common fineness for rose gold is 14K in the US and 18K in Europe.

A strong red coloring indicates a higher copper content, or differently said: the higher the karat weight, the fainter or softer the shade of pink in rose gold. Therefore, if your bracelet is marked as 18K, but is a deep red, then it is likely a fake or, at very least, not 18K.

One at-home test to prove your jewelry is fake (but does not necessarily indicate that it is real) is a magnet test. If your jewelry is attracted to the magnet, then it is fake rose gold.

Difference of Red Gold, Rose Gold & Pink Gold

Now you must be wondering, what are these two new gold varieties. Though rose gold can be loosely referred to as either pink gold or red gold, technically, all three are different. As their name would suggest, their identity is to do with their intrinsic colours. As we had mentioned earlier, higher the copper and redder the colour. Thus

75% Gold + 25% Copper = Red Gold

75% Gold + 22.5% Copper + 2.5% Silver = Rose Gold

75% Gold + 20% Copper + 5% Silver = Pink Gold

What Does Rose Gold Go Best With?

The rose gold tone works really well with white natural diamonds studded in it. Similarly, blue colour gemstones like sapphire, iolite, and black colour gemstones like black diamonds, spinel and onyx match very well with the rose gold colour. The rose gold colour also looks stunningly beautiful with darker tones in enamel.

How to Clean Rose Gold Jewellery?

Just like any other type of gold jewellery, rose gold jewellery must be cleaned gently. You can use a mixture of mild detergent in lukewarm water to dip your rose gold jewellery in. Use of soft cotton cloth and soft bristles toothbrush can help you clean the surface of the gold properly. In areas that are out of reach, you may also use damp ear bud stick or a damp toothpick. Make sure that the stones are strongly studded before you start cleaning because if any stone or diamonds fall off, you may have a tough time locating it.
