Sure, girls all over the place dream of their wedding day from a very early age. But as we grow further and further into adulthood and middle age, the state of one’s marriage because the butt of many jokes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here are a few famous quotes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;“Getting married for sex is like buying a 747 for the free peanuts”-Jeff Foxworthy&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury."-Groucho Marx&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.” -H.V. Prochnow&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it.” -Lyndon B. Johnson&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"A man's wife has more power over him than the state has." -Ralph Waldo Emerson&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God, and I didn't.” -Unknown&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.”-Rodney Dangerfield&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Getting married is a lot like getting into a tub of hot water. After you get used to it, it ain't so hot.” -Minnie Pearl&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

The annual JCK Luxury Show in Las Vegas is almost upon us, and as usual it takes the industry by storm. To get ready for the show, I developed some simple fliers for my next mailing. I tried to keep the messages simple and visually interesting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Did you know that the number of consumers purchasing their engagement rings and wedding bands at Costco has increased over the past two years? I certainly didn’t. Nor did I realize that it now exceeds pre-recession levels.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In an article on “Warehouse Weddings” released ahead of CNBC’s upcoming special, “The Costco Craze,” couples looking to get married are “doing their homework” before buying bridal jewelry and shop at Costco because of the “high-quality, yet discounted” diamonds. Honestly, diamond retail prices are highly inflated. Metal prices, like gas, are higher than ever, but diamonds are ridiculously priced!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Costco currently ranks No. 9 on National Jeweler’s 2011 list of $100 Million Supersellers, with an estimated $500 million in watch and jewelry sales in 2010.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Really? I never knew that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;Read - &lt;a title="Bridal jewelry sales." href="http://www.nationaljeweler.com/nj/majors/a/~28386-Bridal-jewelry-sales-continue-rising" target="_blank"&gt;Bridal jewelry sales continue rising at Costco&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

<content type="html" xml:lang="en-US" xml:base="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/">&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wedding rings that are usually displayed in a jewelry store showcase often come “as is.” This means that the ring design is only available as you see it. In many cases, if you want a 7mm ring, you have to look at styles that are only made in 7mm. Should you desire a gold ring to be made in platinum, that may require a lengthy wait time or it may be unavailable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The best part about American wedding ring manufacturer Novell is that you can get almost all of their designs in a variety of ways. Take a look at the following example.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Leading jewelry manufacturer Stuller is featuring a great new wedding ring collection called Precious Bond™. Precious Bond™ means that the ring contains approximately 75% silver and 25% gold.

And although Stuller does not sell their wedding rings directly online, there are plenty of fine &lt;a href="http://www.stuller.com/locateajeweler/" target="_blank" title="Locate a jeweler."&gt;jewelry retailers&lt;/a&gt; that carry this product.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;View Stuller’s &lt;a href="http://www.stuller.com/browse/wedding-and-engagement/wedding-bands/precious-bond/" target="_blank" title="Wedding rings."&gt;Precious Bond™ wedding rings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Hammered finishes wear very well, and generally hide every day wear and tear. Novell’s affordable In Union designs are made in America utilizing a special bonding technology, and can also be created in all platinum, palladium or gold, so if pink is not your thing but you love the design, then you are in luck!&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

In the results, a category page from &lt;strong&gt;The Wedding Ring Blog&lt;/strong&gt; was positioned at number 5. The consumer, or any consumer typing in the question, could read posts about &lt;a href="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/argentium_sterling_silver_wedding_rings/" target="_blank" title="Argentium Sterling Silver"&gt;Argentium Sterling Silver&lt;/a&gt;, which can be considered a step-up from the sterling silver that’s commonly used in fashion jewelry. I like Argentium Sterling Silver because it is tarnish-resistant and hard, so it is a great affordable metal for wedding rings if you are looking to hit a price point that’s not too far from many higher-end &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;field-keywords=cobalt&amp;amp;url=search-alias%3Djewelry&amp;amp;sprefix=cobal%2Caps%2C736#/ref=sr_st?keywords=tungsten wedding rings" target="_blank"&gt;tungsten rings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;amp;o=1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1"&gt;&lt;/img&gt; that can be found online. And Argentium Sterling Silver can be refinished and sized, while most alternative metals can not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

<content type="html" xml:lang="en-US" xml:base="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/">&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Goodies-for-gifts" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834c6837769e2016303e580e0970d" src="http://rikraffmusic.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834c6837769e2016303e580e0970d-320wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 1px solid #000000;" title="Goodies-for-gifts"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sometimes having to buy the right wedding gift can be a little bit tough. Sure, there’s usually a retail location where a bride and groom may register and assemble their suggestion list. But what if you don’t get around to it until last minute, and the only thing left unchecked is a set of matching whale towels? Or what if you just like to give a unique present in general?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_self"&gt;&lt;img alt="Lobsterman" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834c6837769e2016303e5824d970d" src="http://rikraffmusic.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834c6837769e2016303e5824d970d-320wi" style="border: 1px solid #000000; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Lobsterman"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Recently I came across &lt;a href="http://www.goodiesforgifts.com/" target="_blank" title="Gifts"&gt;Goodies for Gifts&lt;/a&gt;, a great website specializing in providing some of the most wonderful treats and meal packages available from coast-to-coast. Selections featured on &lt;strong&gt;Goodies for Gifts&lt;/strong&gt; are all very fun, personal, tasty, convenient to buy, AND loved by the recipient. My favorite so far is the &lt;a href="http://www.goodiesforgifts.com/listings/seasonal-lobster-club-membership/" target="_blank" title="Lobster club"&gt;Seasonal Lobster Club Membership&lt;/a&gt;. Imagine having your own assigned lobsterman in Maine catching lobsters just for  a special meal, and being able to share lobster dinner for four delivered four times a year. If you’ve ever had fresh Maine lobster, then you know how delicious it really is. Coupled with authentic New England Clam Chowder (say it – chow-DAH), not only is your lobster caught just for your order, you’ll get a call from the lobsterman that trapped it telling you it’s on its way. Also included is a detailed map locating where the prized meal was caught, a subscription to the wharf newsletter and more. No matter where you live in the country, you can have your own private lobsterman.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;At &lt;strong&gt;Goodies for Gifts&lt;/strong&gt;, there’s a fun assortment of edible gifts for just about everyone, including Gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free if the recipient has a specific food allergy. Their motto says it all – &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;made anywhere&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;shipped everywhere&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Check out &lt;a href="http://www.goodiesforgifts.com/" target="_blank" title="Gifts"&gt;Goodies for Gifts&lt;/a&gt; for truly special edible wedding gifts, Mothers Day gifts, Fathers Day gifts and edible gifts for just about every occasion you can think of!&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

And since it is created from platinum, the multiple diamonds will be held secure for a very long time!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Keep in mind that should you have a design like this resized down the road, then have the jeweler check the area where the diamonds are set. Stretching a ring may loosen prongs that hold a diamond in place, or change the size of a drilled hole if the stones are set into the ring.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;See this &lt;a href="http://lieberfarb.com/cgi-bin/display/search3.cgi?id=744&amp;amp;c=Platinum+Designs&amp;amp;s=Ladies%27+Diamond+Rings&amp;amp;s2=&amp;amp;f=&amp;amp;nhs=54&amp;amp;back=c;Platinum+Designs;;s;Ladies%27+Diamond+Rings;;s2;;;nhs;54;;f;" target="_blank" title="Antique wedding ring"&gt;antique-style platinum wedding ring&lt;/a&gt; online.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Actually, many times the individual is looking for an antique-style engagement ring or wedding ring, and not necessarily a style that has been create years and years ago.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An antique is generally defined as an old collectable item that is approximately 100 years old (if not older). It is looked-for because of its age, beauty, rarity, condition, utility, and/or other unique features. An antique represents a previous era or time period in human society. Jewelry stores that sell estate jewelry may have older designs in their showcase that may appear to be antique.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the leading online sources for antique engagement rings is &lt;a href="http://antiqueengagementrings.com/shopping/" target="_blank" title="Antique engagement rings"&gt;Leigh Nacht&lt;/a&gt;.

<content type="html" xml:lang="en-US" xml:base="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/">&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is pretty interesting. About.com's Honeymoon Destinations USA page lists the &lt;strong&gt;Best 25 Honeymoon Destinations&lt;/strong&gt; in the United States. In my opinion, Maine is a great summer or early fall destination just for the lobster alone! And I wonder if New Jersey would have even made the list if not for the Jersey-themed reality shows. Actually, the Jersey Shore has some great spots to stay, such as Point Pleasant and Cape May.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Well to help you out, &lt;a href="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/" target="_blank" title="The Wedding Ring Blog"&gt;The Wedding Ring Blog&lt;/a&gt; has put together some tremendous honeymoon locations in alphabetical order. Here are some great choices beginning with the letters “A” and “B.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acapulco&lt;/strong&gt; - Always a hugely sought after traveler vacation destination, Acapulco sits on Mexico's Pacific coast and lies between the rugged Sierra Madre Mountains and stunning Acapulco Bay. Long before the popularity of Cancun had peaked interest among millions of worldwide tourists, Acapulco was considered an original Mexican resort town; it was THE place to be in Mexico, and was often featured on the popular television series &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Love_Boat" target="_blank" title="The Love Boat"&gt;The Love Boat&lt;/a&gt;. Here you will find fantastic nightclubs that are packed wall-to-wall with beautiful people partying until sunrise. Acapulco's warm water bay and second-to-none beaches have been irresistible to humans since the ancient days of the Aztec Empire. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Africa&lt;/strong&gt; - At 11.7 million square miles, Africa is the next largest and most populated land on the planet. It's big enough for the U.S. to fit within it three times, and extends from the Mediterranean Sea on the north to the Atlantic. Africa covers 6% of the Earth's total surface, offering a wide variety of exotic vacation experiences. Africa is considered to be the oldest inhabited territory on Earth. No other continent comes close to it for scale, variety and pure, raw impact. Africa’s place in history alone would make a several visits worthwhile. And where else on earth can you fall asleep to the sound of lions roaring, or watch a million flamingos take off from a remote body of water? African scenery is so spectacular that it might just blow your mind, but the true personality of this incredible continent isn’t just found in the landscape. It is found within the inner spirit of African people – all working, loving, dancing, singing and laughing – that affects so many with a desire so powerful to return again and again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anguilla&lt;/strong&gt; - Anguilla is the most northern of the Eastern Caribbean‘s Leeward Islands, found in the British West Indies, 150 miles east of Puerto Rico and nine miles north of St. Martin. Anguilla is a flat, low-lying island of coral and limestone, noted for its spectacular and ecologically important coral reefs and beaches. In fact, Anguilla beaches have so much to offer everyone - warmth, sunshine, peace, parties, picnics or just about anything else you can think of to do on one of the thirty three that are around the island. Feel free to just sun and laze in a beach chair. You can even snorkel until you just can’t snorkel any more. Anguilla is also known for its boat racing events, so there’s always something exciting to see or do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Antigua&lt;/strong&gt; - Antigua and Barbuda are located in the Eastern Caribbean’s Leeward Islands just north of the equator. Antigua is the biggest of these islands which encompasses 108 square miles. This island is famous for its warm, steady winds, a complex coastline of safe harbors, and a protective, nearly unbroken wall of coral reef. It is also a residence for many celebrities, including Richard Branson, Eric Clapton and actor Timothy Dalton.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aruba&lt;/strong&gt; - With one of the highest rates for recurring visits, Aruba offers warm hospitality, perpetual sunshine and vivid white, sandy shores. The smallest of the Dutch Caribbean islands, Aruba is known as a welcoming and stress-free oasis just 15 miles from the coast of Venezuela. It is also recognized for its outstanding public transportation system that runs 365 days a year. Every year, the island hosts a dazzling array of events to keep you entertained no matter what you’re into. From music festivals and Carnival to wind sailing races, Aruba has something for everyone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Australia&lt;/strong&gt; - Australia is frequently listed on vacation goers’ desired destination checklists, and rightly so. Its activities and experiences are as diverse as the big land itself, which is close to 3 million square miles or about the same size as the 48 U.S. mainland states. Young people from all over choose Australia to fulfill their travel dream during a career break, working holiday or overseas study; many come just to hang out and play! Australia offers endless opportunities for an Outback adventure and a friendly, relaxed lifestyle. Australia also offers young travelers working holiday visas, study visas and volunteer opportunities. But those searching for adventure can take a camel trek through the Simpson Desert in the Northern Territory, steer a four-wheel vehicle over South Australia’s rugged Flinders Ranges or do the Great Ocean Walk in Victoria. Winter sports lovers may ski or snowboard iconic mountain slopes, while summer types hike through ancient rainforests. You can even visit one of Australia’s pristine islands for adventure and relaxation combined. Dive, snorkel, canoe, kayak and surf all around this great island, as Australia has quite a bit to do; you’ll never get bored!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bahamas&lt;/strong&gt; - The moment your toes touch its famous sand and your eyes gaze about its beautiful water, you know you’re in The Islands of the Bahamas. It’s an atmosphere of comfortable ease along with an instant sense of belonging. The Bahamas offer a departure from everyday life.  A Bahamas holiday means sun-soaked relaxation, duty-free shopping, and unrivaled ecological splendor. This coral-based tropical island chain is located in the beryl-blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, yet many who are familiar with the Bahamas may initially think it is a member of the Caribbean family. Well it’s not, so get over it! These islands may just be the perfect place to fish, swim, boat or just plain relax.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bali &lt;/strong&gt;– More than half way across the globe from America, Bali’s splendid seashores are what entice the majority of this extraordinary land’s visitors. In Bali, the sanctity of every day life is celebrated in almost hourly rituals, and this dedication to life infuses Balinese culture with dance, sculpture, theater and painting like no other spot on the earth. Designer Robert Manse manufactures his &lt;a href="http://www.hsn.com/jewelry/royal-bali_c-j_a-6094_xc.aspx?rid=1890" target="_blank" title="Jewelry designs"&gt;jewelry designs&lt;/a&gt; exclusively in Bali. His show airs quarterly on Home Shopping Network. Bali is also known as a wonderful place to catch some really groovy waves, too! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barbados&lt;/strong&gt; - Barbados is a coral island located in the Caribbean’s Lesser Antilles, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity a long, long time ago. Its general location is considered outside of the principal Atlantic hurricane belt, so Barbados can be a fabulous year round destination.. On the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore beaches of fine white sand stretch along a picture perfect blue-green sea. The surrounding coral reefs outlining the Barbados shoreline provide excellent opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving. Along the Barbados East Coast, lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds, so there’s plenty of pleasure weather you are in or on top of the water. The constant breeze also gives Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Belize&lt;/strong&gt; - Nestled between Mexico and Guatemala on the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize is among the few remaining places left untainted by excess technology and population. Though best known as being a world-class snorkeling and diving location, Belize boasts spectacular natural sights and the authenticity of a bona fide Caribbean getaway. The entire country has just a few traffic lights, and you can get from place to place in a golf cart. Do you need a relaxing and almost secluded getaway? If this is the case, then you may want to consider vacationing in Belize.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bermuda &lt;/strong&gt;- Bermuda is Britain's oldest colony, and is a self-governing British overseas territory found in the Atlantic Ocean north of the Caribbean. The island features a unique offers a colonial past and island heritage, which has created colorful local legends and rich traditions. Recently, an unusually prolonged period of beautiful, hot weather and calm seas appears to have led to record numbers of whale sightings. Bermuda also has incredible shopping opportunities for those who feel that shopping is their “sport” of choice. The popular reality show &lt;a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette" target="_blank" title="The Bachelorette"&gt;The Bachelorette&lt;/a&gt; has also been filmed in Bermuda during the early part of 2012.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;British Virgin Islands&lt;/strong&gt; - The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are another self-governing British offshore territory in the Caribbean, east of the U.S. Virgin Islands. In contrast, the BVI are less developed and commercialized than their U.S. counterpart. Considered a magical land, BVI has its own special beauty, character and legends. See the spectacular vistas of land and sea from a hike to the top of Sage Mountain, or visit one of BVI’s 28 national parks. There is also a range of fabulous Caribbean beaches to enjoy, each with its own special vibe. The streets of The British Virgin Islands are alive with skilled street performers and celebration – you may even consider it a tropical version of New Orleans, but with finer sands for your toes!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brunei &lt;/strong&gt;- Brunei is a small but - thanks to its vast natural gas and petroleum resources - extremely rich country located in Southeast Asia on the South China Sea. The country is surrounded by Malaysia and has two parts physically separated by the country, which almost makes it an enclave. Brunei’s proximity to vital sea lanes linking Indian and Pacific Oceans is also essential to its economic success, along with a fishing zone that is literally exclusive to its people. Known officially as the State of Brunei Darussalamor the Nation of Brunei, Brunei has a total area of only 2,226 square miles. Nearly all its inhabitants live in the larger western part of the country.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of Irish Claddagh rings. The Claddagh ring is a traditional and historical ring given as a token of friendship, love, or marriage. And there’s a lot of meaning in the way that it is worn.  Wear a Claddagh ring on your right hand with the point of the heart facing away means the wearer is single and may be looking for love. Wear it on the right hand but with the point of the heart directed towards the wrist means wearer is in a relationship, or their heart is taken and they are in love. A Claddagh ring worn on the left hand with the bottom of the heart toward the fingertips means they wearer is engaged, while the reverse direction signifies marriage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So Claddagh rings can be used as both friendship rings and engagement/wedding rings. If you marry your friend then you are in luck! In Ireland, America and other places, the Claddagh is handed down from mother-to-daughter or even grandmother-to-granddaughter. I am not sure if the design is timeless, but it is recognizable and always has meaning behind it. Gee, I wish I had a pair of jeans like that!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;See more &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Djewelry&amp;amp;field-keywords=Claddagh+ring#/ref=sr_st?keywords=Claddagh+ring&amp;amp;qid=1333719690&amp;amp;rh=n%3A3367581%2Ck%3ACladdagh+ring&amp;amp;sort=-price" target="_blank" title="Claddagh rings."&gt;Claddagh rings online&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

I think we all know that, but it’s still fun to say. A Greek jewelry blog picked on one of my posts – &lt;a href="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/2012/03/online-jewelry-buying.html" target="_blank" title="Jewelry sales"&gt;How are jewelry sales online?&lt;/a&gt; And they did a pretty good job NOT just duplicating content.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here’s an excerpt in Greek:&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;Μία επιχείρηση οποιουδήποτε μεγέθους, προκειμένου να πάρει αποφάσεις για το μέλλον χρειάζεται στατιστικά στοιχεία από τη συνολική δραστηριότητα του επιχειρηματικού της αντικειμένου. Στην ελληνική αγορά είναι αναλογικά πολύ λίγες οι στατιστικές που μπορούν να βοηθήσουν τους επαγγελματίες και ειδικά τους μικρότερους. Στην αγορά του κοσμήματος οι στατιστικές και τα στοιχεία είναι παντελώς ανύπαρκτα. Η μόνη λύση που απομένει στους επαγγελματίες (εκτός από το ένστικτό τους) είναι να ενημερώνονται για αντίστοιχα στοιχεία από άλλες χώρες και να κάνουν τις ανάλογες προσαρμογές. Η χώρα όπου οι επαγγελματικές οργανώσεις παρέχουν άφθονα στοιχεία στους ενδιαφερόμενους επαγγελματίες είναι οι Η.Π.Α.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s the direct translation (thanks to Google Translate – not grammatically correct):&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;A firm of any size to make decisions about the future need statistics from the total activity of the business object. The Greek market is proportionately very few statistics that can help professionals and especially the smaller ones. In the jewelry market statistics and data are completely lacking. The only solution left to the professionals (apart from instinct) is to be informed of relevant information from other countries and make appropriate adjustments. The country where professional organizations provide ample evidence to interested professionals are U.S.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

<content type="html" xml:lang="en-US" xml:base="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/">&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="asset-img-link" href="http://rikraffmusic.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834c6837769e2016764a25b38970b-pi" style="display: inline;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Wedding-ring-cobalt-platinum" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834c6837769e2016764a25b38970b" src="http://rikraffmusic.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834c6837769e2016764a25b38970b-320wi" style="border: 1px solid #000000; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Wedding-ring-cobalt-platinum"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While searching for platinum wedding rings on a very popular online retailer, I came across a Cobalt ring that showed up in the platinum search results. And why did this happen? Cobalt is not a member of the Platinum Group Metal family. Apparently it has a light “platinum” coating applied to the ring which sells for $79.99. And at that price, there can not be much platinum at all! There is no definition regarding the amount of platinum that is applied to the outside of this design.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have nothing against the company that is selling this ring or against Cobalt in general, but is it really fair that a Cobalt ring is being positioned along with other popular platinum wedding rings online? Could a consumer assume that Cobalt is related to platinum? I certainly hope not, as Cobalt and platinum have very little in common. And if I was a company selling a platinum wedding ring online, and this featured &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JFD88C/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B005JFD88C"&gt;Cobalt wedding ring&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B005JFD88C" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1"&gt;&lt;/img&gt; was position alongside my product in a specific category search, then I’d be pretty upset.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes within the jewelry industry lines are blurred. In my opinion, a Cobalt product has no place on a page dedicated to platinum wedding rings no matter what. The amount of platinum on the ring can not be very much since the price is under $100.00. As a whole, the jewelry industry needs to help better regulate instances like this, whether it is intentional or just a flaw within the website’s search system. The word “platinum” should not be in the product’s title.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

This platinum diamond ring features approximately 1.12 carats of bead-set diamonds (the carat weight may vary per size). Diamonds with G-H color and VS2 clarity adorn this design, so a price tag of $2,179.99 is a reasonably nice deal. Bead setting in an intricate process for diamond setting, and it really looks nice. Platinum will also hold the diamonds secure, so all will be well for many years. Although if the ring is sized down the road, make sure the jewelry secures the diamonds also.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;Platinum is the premium metal for jewelry. So why not give the best gift you can - a set of platinum diamond earrings. The featured princess cut diamonds (½ carat total weight) are G-H in color, and VS2 for clarity. Rated as good cut, $875.00 is just great for the price. Platinum is at an all time high, and diamonds are as well. Where else can you get diamond earrings like these for under $1,000. The Amazon &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/B000EOW9OM/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957" target="_blank"&gt;product reviews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;amp;o=1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1"&gt;&lt;/img&gt; are outstanding as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;"S&lt;strong&gt;parkle &lt;/strong&gt;- The earrings are incredibly beautiful. They are much prettier than in hte picture. I love wearing them."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Nice quality + great price = perfect gift &lt;/strong&gt;- When they arrived (UPS, signature required for delivery), I was very impressed with the quality. The earrings were as nice as those I had seen in several stores and at a very competitive price. I want to emphasize, beyond just "good price" these earrings were excellent quality. It ended up being a very good gift choice!"&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

With one carat total weight for the pair, these diamonds are a nice sized, and the asking price of $1299.00 is very reasonable. The stones are G-H in color, with I1 clarity (which is fine for diamond stud earrings like these), and the cut is rated as being very good. Diamonds of this size do not have to be perfect in a set of earrings. Considering how high diamond prices are these days, these gold diamond stud earrings are a nice deal. All of the Amazon &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/B002DVWK66/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957" target="_blank"&gt;product reviews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;amp;o=1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1"&gt;&lt;/img&gt; have been very strong as well. Here are a few:&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Fabulous anniversary present&lt;/strong&gt; - My wife is totally pleased with this anniversary gift. She loves the sparkle--our 10 year old son told her how lovely she looks wearing them. My wife is wearing them awake and asleep. She says the 1 cttw size is just large enough to be noticed, but small enough she can sleep in them."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Satisfied&lt;/strong&gt; - The product was a nice color as described. It's a nice understated piece (not too flashy but noticeable). The price is unbeatable as well."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Absolutely stunning&lt;/strong&gt; - I received this purchase today ,and was just elated. my lady friend for whom I made the purchase was completely lost for words. the Quality of the stones was so much more than I expected."&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

<content type="html" xml:lang="en-US" xml:base="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/">&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Platinum-diamond-ring-1" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834c6837769e20167649a64b7970b" src="http://rikraffmusic.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834c6837769e20167649a64b7970b-320wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 1px solid #000000;" title="Platinum-diamond-ring-1"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;br&gt;It doesn’t mean a thing if that platinum diamond ring ain’t got that ring BLING. I have to say that after a dozen years in the jewelry industry, I have yet to see a deal like this. Firenza Jewels, one of New York’s premiere wedding ring retailers, is offering this premium platinum diamond ring for just over $10,000. For retail pricing, this is a very nice deal. Why am I saying that? Well, just take a moment to consider the quality of the diamonds. The ring has five very high class five diamonds totaling 1.86 carats. The color for the stones is F, which means that they are nearly colorless; only a trace amount of color should be detected. The diamonds’ clarity is VS2, so imperfections are not typically visible to the naked eye. Finally, each diamond is noted as having an excellent cut; this may mean that they would fall at the very least within the top percentage of overall diamond quality grading. In fact, The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) assigns top diamonds this excellent grade. Should this be the case, then this &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00250ZLKW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=rikraffmusicn-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B00250ZLKW"&gt;platinum diamond wedding ring&lt;/a&gt; is an outstanding deal! GIA is recognized as one of the world's top authorities on grading diamonds available on the market today.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="asset-img-link" href="http://rikraffmusic.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834c6837769e20167649a659d970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="Platinum-diamond-ring-3" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834c6837769e20167649a659d970b" src="http://rikraffmusic.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834c6837769e20167649a659d970b-320wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 1px solid #000000;" title="Platinum-diamond-ring-3"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have researched similar rings on other online wedding ring websites. Very few offer a design with diamonds that are of this quality or size. Its width is also 4mm, and overall this is a substantial ring. And platinum's strength is also key to the value; platinum will securly hold your diamond in place better than any other metal. Platinum's natural white color will assure that the diamonds will continue to look spectacular throughout the years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Well, if you don’t, then you should!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Palladium is currently much less expensive than platinum or gold. A palladium ring should cost about 20% than a 14kt gold wedding ring, and in this day and age, that’s a savings that you really can’t sneeze at!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here are some basic facts about palladium:&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;• Palladium is one of the Earth's great naturally white precious metals; unlike white gold, palladium will never turn yellow over time. It can’t! It comes from the ground white, and will remain that way for its lifetime.&lt;br&gt;• Palladium jewelry offers some of the finer qualities of platinum but currently costs much less. But at one time, palladium actually cost more than platinum.&lt;br&gt;• While platinum will always remain the hallmark for premium white metal jewelry, palladium is a close relative that can step in and get the job done.&lt;br&gt;• Palladium is always a better option than white gold if platinum is not possible due to its current market value.&lt;br&gt;• Palladium is considered to be a hypo-allergenic metal. Platinum is as well. White gold is not.&lt;br&gt;• Because palladium is naturally white (and will remain that way), rhodium plating is not necessary. You have to rhodium plate* a white gold ring over and over to keep it looking white.&lt;br&gt;• Palladium is strong and durable, so wedding bands made of palladium can absolutely stand the test of time.&lt;br&gt;• Palladium's purity and preciousness make it an extremely attractive value when compared to the lesser non-precious jewelry metals, like the titanium and tungsten steel that spots the market today. In fact, you can consider titanium and tungsten jewelry costume jewelry.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;*&lt;strong&gt;What is rhodium plating?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: #888888; color: #ffff00;"&gt;Rhodium is a chemical element that is a rare, silvery-white, metal and a member of the Platinum Group. Rhodium is applied to white gold wedding bands to help make the gold look whiter. Over time, rhodium wears off, and white gold rings will appear to have a yellowish hue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
