Has anyone ever tried to sell you an “enhanced” diamond? Chances are that it will happen to you. Stay away! Diamond enhancement is a very vague term used by retailers to disclose to the consumer that a diamond has been treated or altered from its natural state. A diamond’s value and visual quality depends on its naturally occurring characteristics. Diamonds with fewer flaws are worth substantially more money than blemished stones. Some jewelers will alter a diamond from its natural condition in order to inflate the quality. Some treatments are clarity enhancements or drilling out imperfections, color grade improvements, and fracture filling. Most of the diamonds that undergo this process were of poor gemological quality to begin with and would be difficult to sell. Diamond treatments can affect the structural integrity of the diamond and some high pressure/high temperature treatments leave scars called treatment lines on the stone. All of these treatments are required to be disclosed to the consumer; however, a small “enhanced” label is all you are likely to see. The bottom line is you will never know the full extent of the damage to the diamond and it may break or fade in the future. You are not getting a good deal when buying an enhanced diamond. Do not buy an enhanced diamond!
When choosing a diamond make sure it has never been modified or altered by any unnatural process. High quality diamonds are sold in their natural condition. Choose a diamond that is accompanied by a diamond grading report or certificate to verify all of its naturally occurring characteristics. These diamonds will always look superior and retain their long term value. The best choice will always be a high quality unmodified diamond.

About 1 in 8 people will have an allergic reaction to white gold.  But it usually isn’t the gold in white gold that causes the allergy. Pure gold is naturally bright yellow in color.  White gold gets its white color because it is really an alloy (a mixture of metals) that contains gold and some other white metals, usually nickel to give it a white color.  (The gold alloy is usually then rhodium plated to give it a shiny whitish-silver appearance.  The rhodium is also more scratch resistant than the gold alloy.)  It is usually the nickel that most people are allergic to in white gold.  The allergy can be worse with 14K white gold than 18K gold.  This is because there is more non-gold metal alloy in 14K white gold than 18K white gold.

So what are your choices if you are the 1 in 8 that has an allergic reaction to white gold?  Yellow gold is one option.  Yellow gold typically doesn’t include any nickel, so individuals with a nickel allergy won’t usually have a problem with yellow gold.  But it you prefer the look of white gold, then platinum is the metal for you.  Platinum is significantly more dense than gold, so it is more scratch resistant and will retain its shine for longer, although platinum is also more expensive than gold.

This guy probably used up all of his luck in one day.  First he gets to “Come on Down!”  Then he actually gets on stage.  Then he spins the big wheel and proposes to his fiancee.  During all this, the big wheel lands on $1.00 so he gets a thousand bucks.  Then he wins the whole kit-and-kaboodle at the end.  What a day!  (Not quite sure what he was doing trying to balance the ring on his nose, but I’ll give the guy a pass on that one.)
