HTC Touch diamond keyboard

The Touch Diamond hasn't even gone on sale in most countries and already, another new version has been announced. T-Mobile Germany launched three new MDA phones (its name for the HTC devices) and one of them is the MDA Vario IV, which is the rumored HTC Raphael. The other two are variants of the Diamond and Advantage. This PDA Phone is largely similar to the HTC Touch Diamon but comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard like the TyTN II. According to Netherlands-based site Mobile Phone Helpdesk, the Vario IV has all the features of the Diamond but comes with 256MB of RAM instead of 192MB. There's no indication if it will sport TouchFLO 3D like the Diamond. But looking at the flat front surface, it certainly looks ready for HTC's custom interface.The T-Mobile MDA Vario IV will go on sale in Germany at the end of September. We're contacting HTC regarding its availability elsewhere.

Diamond Skull

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 2 Jun 2008 20:17:00 -0700

Compared with the epic works that have made his name - the shark in formaldehyde, the bisected cow –Damien Hirst’s work in progress is a small, delicate object: a life-size human skull. Not just any skull, mind, but one cast in platinum and encased entirely in diamonds - 8,601 in all, totaling 1,106.18 carats. It is the most expensive work of art ever created, costing approx. $20 million.

Hirst said: ‘We have been buying diamonds slowly and have worked out that it will take about eight and half thousand to completely cover the surface of the skull.’Even the eye sockets and the holes for the nose have been filled with hundreds of jewels. A 52-carat pear-shaped stone is set into the forehead, surrounded by 14 diamonds

The sculpture, titled “For the Love of God,” will likely sell for as much as $100 million, making it the priciest contemporary artwork ever made. Hirst will find himself on a price level with Pablo Picasso and Gustav Klimt. The White Cubz gallery is selling several limited edition silkscreen prints of the work.

Hirst, who financed the piece himself, watched for months as the price of international diamonds rose while the Bond Street gem dealer Bentley & Skinner tried to corner the market for the artist’s benefit. Given the ongoing controversy over blood diamonds from Africa, “For the Love of God” now has the potential to be about death in a more literal way.

Diamonds CARAT

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 31 May 2008 23:49:00 -0700

What is Carat :

A diamond's weight is measured in what is called CARAT. Which is a small unit of measurement equal to 200 milligrams. Carat is not a measure of a diamond's size, since cutting a diamond to different proportions can affect its weight. (The word 'Karat' is used to express the purity of gold, and is not used in relation to diamonds.) Here is a diagram that shows the relative size of various carat weights in a diamond that is cut to the same proportions.

Waight Scale of diamonds CARAT :

The most important thing to remember when it comes to a diamond's carat weight is that it is not only factor that determines a diamond's value. In other words, bigger does not necessarily mean better. All four Cs-Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight must be balanced in order to arrive at a diamond that fits your budget. None of the 4Cs is mutually exclusive, nor is any one more important than the others. The word carat actually comes from the word carob (as in carob seeds), which is how ancient cultures measured the weight of diamonds on their scales. In 1913, however, the weight was standardized internationally and adapted to the metric system. Although they can be measured when mounted in jewelry, diamonds are most accurately weighed when they are not mounted in a setting. In fact, gemological laboratories such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and American Gemological Society (AGS) will only grade diamonds that are unmounted. A diamond grading report will tell you the exact carat weight, to the nearest hundredth of a carat, for that particular diamond. Each Carat is divided into 100 parts called 'points.' So a 1-carat diamond has 100 points, a 3/4 carat has 75 points, etc. Points in a fraction of one carat are measured within ranges, so that a 3/4 carat diamond may have between .69 and .82 points and still be considered a 3/4 carat. Here's a table of size and weight ranges.

Carat Fractions and Their Decimal Equivalents
CARAT FRACTIONS DECIMAL EQUIVALENT

1/10 = .09-.11
1/8 = .12.13

1/6 = .14-.17
1/5 = .18-.22
1/4 = .23-.28
1/3 = .29-.36
3/8 = .37-.44
1/2 = .45-.58
5/8 = .59-68
3/4 = .69-82
7/8 = .83-.94
1.0 = .95-1.05

Remember, all diamonds are not created equal. Two diamonds of equal Carat Weight may vary substantially in price due to their Cut, Color and Clarity. Also, a diamond's weight can be 'hidden' in different parts of the stone. For example, you can have a well-cut diamond, whose weight is distributed properly, a diamond that is cut too shallow to make it wider and heavier, but not the most brilliant, or one that is cut too deeply, to add weight to the bottom of the stone - again compromising its ability to radiate maximum brilliance.

Calculation Last of all:

The carat weight of a diamond is an extremely important determining factor in its value. Diamonds are valued on a per-carat basis. For example, a diamond of exceptionally high quality may sell for $20,000 per carat, while one of lesser quality may sell for $1,000 per carat. So, a three-carat stone could be $60,000 or $3,000, depending on its per-carat price. Diamond values also increase disproportionately as the size of the stone increases. In other words, a two-carat stone will not necessarily cost twice per carat than a one-carat stone. It could cost much more, since diamonds are rarer in larger sizes. As you take a stone of a particular cut, clarity and color and move its carat weight to the next price category, you may see quite a large increase in the price per carat. Remember that size isn't everything. When choosing a diamond, all 4Cs must be taken into account. The key is to strike a balance among them, while still working within your budget.

Color of Diamond

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 31 May 2008 22:53:00 -0700

Color of Diamond :

The most important thing to know about diamond color. Generally the less color a diamond more valuable it is all other factors being equal.Diamond are found in nature in a widerange of colors, from completely colorless (the most desirable trait) to slightly yellow, to brown. So-called 'fancy color diamonds' come in more intense colors, like yellow and blue, but these are not graded on the same scale. The diamond color grading system uses the letters of the alphabet from D through Z, with 'D' being the most colorless and therefore the rarest and most valuable, and 'Z' having the most color within the normal range, and being the least valuable, all other factors being equal. A diamond's color is determined by looking at it under controlled lighting and comparing them to the Gemological Institute of America's color scale, which is based on a set of diamonds of known color. Here is a diagram showing how a diamond's color is graded.

A diamond's color is most accurately determined when it is not mounted in a setting, since settings can introduce tints of their own color into the diamond. This is more evident in yellow gold settings, and less so in white gold and platinum settings. Even a trained professional can't always tell the difference between close grades of color in a diamond if it is still mounted in a setting. For this reason, gemological laboratories such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and American Gemological Society (AGS) will only grade diamonds that are unmounted.

Diamond with a color grade of D, E or F are considered colorless; G, H, I and J are near colorless; K, L and M have a faint yellow tint; N, O, P, Q and R have a very light yellow tint and S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are light yellow. A diamond that is a D color is absolutely colorless, and is therefore the most valuable. However, it's important to understand that color alone does not determine the value of a diamond. All '4Cs' must be taken into account. A diamond of D color that has imperfections or is poorly cut is not as valuable as a stone of a lower color grade that has a superior cut and clarity.

Diamond is the sparkle & you know diamond are every gir'l best friend. What makes diamonds so valuable?

Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to mankind. Those, along with their brilliance and fire. have made diamonds the quintessential symbol of timeless, enduring LOVE. The simplest of all the gemstones, diamond consists of 99.95% pure crystallized carbon. A diamond begins to crystallize far beneath the earth's surface among a mixture of liquids, gases, and crystals. Diamonds can, in fact, be from 1 to 3 billion years old--more than two-thirds the age of the earth itself.Diamond engagement ring :
In 1477 AD, Archduke Maximilian of

Austria

presented a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy as a sign of their engagement. He put it on the third finger of her left hand, the finger believed by ancient Egyptians to have a vein that led directly to the heart. She accepted his proposal and the diamond engagement ring was born.

Clarity of Diamond's

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 29 May 2008 00:34:00 -0700

Another vital diamond grading characteristic is their clarity:

This refers to the number, position and size of the inclusions that occur naturally inside diamonds. The fewer and less obvious the inclusions, the more valuable the diamond. Here is an illustration that shows the clarity grading scale that has been established by the world's foremost authority on diamonds, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

DESCRIPTION

Flawless :

The diamond shows no inclusions or blemishes of any sort under 10X magnification when observed by an experienced grader. Note: Truly flawless or internally flawless (F or IF on the GIA's grading scale) diamonds are extremely rare.

Internally Flawless:
The diamond has no inclusions when examined by an experienced grader using 10X magnification, but will have some minor blemishes.

VVS1, VVS2 :
Very, Very slightly included. The diamond contains minute inclusions that are difficult even for experienced graders to see under 10X magnification.

VS1, VS2 :
Very slightly included. The diamond contains minute inclusions such as small crystals, clouds or feathers when observed with effort under 10X magnification.

I1, I2, I3 :
Included. Inclusions are obvious under 10x magnification and are usually visible to the naked eye. This quality allows for a larger diamond to be purchased at a lower price.

SI1, SI2:
Slightly included. Inclusions are obvious under 10x magnification and may or may not be visible to the naked eye. However, when set in jewelry, the inclusions may become less visible.

A Diamond's Clarity is measured using a jeweler's loupe (a small magnifying glass used to view gemstones) under 10-power magnification. The FTC requires all diamond grading be done under 10-power magnification; any inclusions not detected under this magnification are considered to be non-existent. Most Diamonds contain some blemishes (crystals, clouds, or feathers), which can be found inside the stone (called inclusions). Surface blemishes are not considered a major concern, since they can often be polished away. Crystals are mineral deposits trapped inside the diamond; clouds are small specks or hazy areas that give a milky appearance; and feathers are small cracks that are shaped like a bird's feather.

Naturally, inclusions that don't impede the light's passage through the diamond or visibly decrease its beauty will not have a substantial effect on its value. It is more important that any blemishes do not affect the stone's attractiveness or durability, than that the diamond be 'perfect'.

Diamond Testers since 1981

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 28 May 2008 13:33:00 -0700

The top quality electronic diamond tester :
Product Information The big advantage of Diatest all Simulants Tester is that in spite of being a sophisticated and sensitive electronic instrument, built with the most advanced technology, it is very simple to operate. Any person, even without training and previous experience in the Jewelry and Diamond trade, can use it to easily receive immediate and reliable identification of genuine diamonds. These tests can be performed on stones of any size, rough or polished, unmounted or mounted, in any type of setting. Even if you are an experienced Jeweler or Diamond dealer or if you already have a Thermal conductivity Diamond Tester, you still need the Diatest all Simulants Tester, since the conventional Thermal conductivity diamond tester will recognize Moissanite as diamond and it is impossible by ordinary examination of mounted stones to determine if they are genuine diamonds.
