Buying Jewelry As A Christmas Gift For The Woman In Your Life

December 18th, 2010

It is generally accepted that men are not the best people to be buying presents for their wives and/or girlfriends. The reason for this is that women prefer presents that are meaningful, fashionable, romantic and suited to their style; and sometimes men find it difficult finding presents that offer a combination of those things. However, when Christmas comes around, as it does every year, those obstacles need to be overcome, one way or another. If you are finding it hard choosing the right jewelry for your girlfriend or wife this Christmas, this article should help give you some good ideas to get that special something.

Diamonds are back in this year; from necklaces and bangles to earrings, bracelets and anklets, diamonds will always be a welcomed addition to brighten up any item of jewelry. Choosing a diamond is not as straightforward as it may sound though. If you are looking to spend a lot of money, it can be a sensible idea to buy the diamond separately from the item of jewelry and then take it to a jeweler to be set. Many diamonds now come with certificates to prove not only their validity, but also their origins i.e. that the diamond was not discovered as a result of slave labor.

Bracelets have also been growing in popularity over the course of 2010, up to a point now where it seems that the more bracelets a girl wears, the better or more fashionable the look! At least as long as you buy bracelets that are thin and you do not go over the top that is. Another item that is hard to miss on the catwalk this winter is oversized rings. Although initially popularized in early 2010, large rings are certainly in this Christmas and would make a great, cheap gift for your wife or girlfriend.

Big is the buzz word for fashion accessories this autumn/winter as coupled with oversized rings, jumbo sized earring are also in. However, as most people who wear earrings know, big earrings can be quite uncomfortable over extended periods of time and for this reason, when you are looking for a gift for your wife or girlfriend, make sure that you do not get a pair that are too big, unless you are going for that extra quirky gift.

Bold but natural is the direction in which fashion jewelry is heading this season, so that means that natural, earthy colors are best, and materials like wood and stone work well too. Utilizing black, brown, beige or any other earthy tones with these materials creates a nostalgic impression that goes well with certain fashion styles, but not all.

Muslim Cab Driver Returned $21K Lost by Visitor on Christmas Eve(2009) in Manhattan

September 24th, 2010


A 72-year-old left her purse in a Manhattan taxi on Christmas Eve(2009). It contained traveling money for her and six relatives of $21k . A NYC Muslim cab driver found the money, then drove 50 miles to return it. BBC: news.bbc.co.uk Full name: Mohammad Mukul Asaduzzaman from Bangladesh. A gracious Asadujjaman was quoted by the newspaper as saying that he may be broke, but he was also honest. “My mother is my inspiration. She always said to be honest and work hard.” Mr Asadujjaman called a friend with a car and drove some 80km to a Long Island address in the purse. No one was at home, so he left his phone number and a note, the report said. His phone rang a short time later and he drove back to return the bag. “They were so, so, so happy,” Mr Asadujjaman told the paper. Asked if he was tempted to keep the cash, Mr Asadujjaman said the money would have allowed him more time to study, “but my heart said this is not good”. He also turned down a reward, saying he could not accept it as a devout Muslim, Newsday reported. “I’m needy, but I’m not greedy,” he said. “It’s better to be honest.” Mr Asadujjaman is not the first honest American-Bangladeshi cabbie to hit the headlines for noble behaviour. In 2007, driver Osman Chowdhury returned a lost bag containing diamond rings worth $500000 to the rightful owner.

Around cultures, diamonds have played a prominent role in mythological records. In Indian culture, possession of diamonds marked the four main castes. Brahmins possessed colorless diamond; Kshatriyas valued brown/champagne colored one; Vaisya called in (the color of a kodali flower); and the Sudra were identified with a polished blade like color or gray/black diamond. Kings and royalties possessed the most valued red and yellow as royal gems.

In other major cultures, it was credited to have magical powers. It could remove the evil eye over the wearer, bring good luck, and provide super strength.

A diamond is the simplest yet hardest form of carbon. Treated as a precious gemstone, chemically it is a plain, crystallized from of the element. Regarding its unsurpassable physical properties, its wearable durability is due to its hardiness. Along with it, brilliance and color are the deciding factors of its salability.
