Some particularly unscrupulous jewelers


Some particularly unscrupulous jewelers target those who want appraisals on diamonds that were given to them as gifts or that were purchased elsewhere. They will try to tell you that the diamond is worth less than its true value – and offer to take it off your hands or trade it for a much better diamond, along with the cash to make up the difference. This is called low balling. If presented with an offer like this, be sure to get a second, third, and even a fourth opinion before taking any action.

Trends in Mens Jewelry Design
Another common dirty trick is to switch the diamond you have chosen and paid for with one of lesser quality and value when you leave it to be set in a piece of jewelry, or leave a diamond ring to be sized. The only way to avoid this is to do business with one trustworthy jeweler. Avoid jewelers that you have not done business with in the past.

There are many more scams that less trustworthy jewelry stores commonly pull on unsuspecting consumers. Just use your best judgment, and purchase your diamonds with the utmost care and consideration.

Most people think of jewelry as a "woman's thing," but the fact is that mens jewelry has been a tradition in many cultures throughout the world dating back to the Stone Age. In those days, mens jewelry consisted of necklaces made from the claws of animals or the bones of slain enemies (!) Among several North American Indian tribes, necklaces made from the wampum, or dentalia shells that were recognized as currency made such decoration practical as well.

Today, mens jewelry may also consist of necklaces, amulets and earrings. However, designer watches and mens diamond wedding rings are the most popular and best-selling items.

Wedding Bands Galore

There is nearly as much variety in wedding bands for men as there are for women. One of the latest trends in this area is palladium wedding bands.

While gold is traditional, it is a relatively soft metal. Palladium wedding bands are virtually indestructible, and will last for decades without scratching or tarnishing - which is not surprising, since the melting point of palladium is almost 3000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Men's Celtic wedding rings have also become popular in recent years. These are available as mens diamond wedding rings, or can be purchased without a stone mounted; they feature the traditional "knot work" patterns that are so closely associated with the art of Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
