diamonds

When it comes to making a fashion statement with jewelry, women prefer to sport a glittery diamond or two. Diamond rings, pendants, bracelets et al are available in various designs and price ranges to adorn the woman at work, at a party or at a ceremonial gathering. Weddings are a big occasion for diamond rings, especially as engagement rings, wedding bands, and even as small token gifts for the immediate family. In every day and age, since times forgone, diamond rings have added sparkle to an occasion. In the recent past, diamond rings became a symbol of love and commitment. Engagement rings and anniversary rings all seem to speak the language of togetherness. But, the latest trend in diamond rings is more as a celebration of womanhood. Today, the trend of wearing a diamond ring on the right hand, instead of the traditional left hand is fast catching up. The stone is the same but the style statement is completely different. The right hand ring is the mark of the independent woman. It is a symbol of assertion of character and independence. The 21st century woman is outgoing, career oriented and self-sufficient. The right hand ring stands for all these qualities. Where the conventional left-hand engagement ring or wedding band would be a gift from a male companion or husband, the right hand diamond ring doesn’t spell any such relations. This is not to say that married or engaged women are not wearing the right hand ring. In fact, many women make a multiple style statement with rings on both hands to compliment the independent as well as the committed woman. The right hand diamond ring not only makes a statement by how it is worn but also by how it is designed. These diamond rings are specially made with smaller stones, multiple stones, open space designs and different cuts. When you see a right hand diamond ring, you can’t mistake it for a conventional engagement ring. The very design of the ring spells a certain sense of difference and individuality

gold

Traditionally, a national pause occurs in the gold business in the weeks preceding the 15th April. In preparation for this least holy of days, US citizens are busy contemplating his or her personal finances as they prepare to render unto Uncle Sam Caesar his due.
Contributing to this pause is that tax season generally puts a hold on potential major purchases. And here in the Sonoran desert, snowbirds begin their seasonal out-migration this time of year, hightailing it back home to do their taxes, and await what passes for Spring in their frozen homelands.And with the gold market suddenly gone cold, our phones, after signaling non-stop action going back to September of 2008, are almost silent. Which is a shame, as bullion products have flowed into dealer’s inventories, and the yellow metal itself has suffered a better than 12% price haircut over the past few weeks. In other words, it’s probably the best time to buy gold in over a yearThe fall-off in bullion business has run concurrently with the recent new-found life in the equities market, as the heart-stopping draining of trillions of dollars worth of stock values that we’ve seen since late last year seems to have halted about a month ago.
Nothing goes straight, down or up, so it is a bounce we are currently having in the stock market. Stocks have had a spectacular run-up since the second week of March, and a few questions about animals come to mind:As Vito Racanelli explains in his article, the business model for this little company is to acquire properties with promising mineralization, perform the drilling and exploration of those properties, with the idea of selling off promising sites to larger mining firms for development. In other words, to explore for royalty arrangements in Tanzania – thus its name, Tanzanian Royalty Exploration.
