Any Day Now, 1988 Chicken wings, and diamond rings–there’s anything I’d give to you. I’d ride a tiger, walk a wire–wall to wall–yes, all for you. And if you asked I’d wear an iron mask. Oh! I’d chew glass for you. All for you . . . Pick a cloud, I’ll fly–I’d drink the ocean dry for you. If love is really blind, I’d pluck out both my eyes for you. There’s nothing I wouldn’t try for you . . . (And still you say you love me as you pull the screens and pump the morphine and I’ll float up like a little ball. And maybe you think I’m not listening as you scream and scream–but rest assured, I hear every word!)

Why Is The Diamond A Part Of American Culture And Marriage When It Represents True Evil?
May 29th, 2010How long has the diamond been the norm in western culture? And why don’t more people know about it’s horrible past and current history? Does anybody care that this industry is run by corrupt governments, criminals, and corporations? How can people that supposeovly hold marriage sacred use the diamond as a symbol of love when it represents all that is evil? And if you don’t know the history of the diamond, shame on you for being so stupid!
spunk 113- These people did not die for you to make a profit, and your statement that what you do by selling over-priced diamonds to stupid people makes their deaths have meaning, you suck, you sound just like a jeweler. Yes, put them back in the ground, right next to all the corpses of people that died for this horrible gem.

A Diamond Bracelet Is A Gift For Life And A Sign Of True Love And Friendship
April 12th, 2010
There are treasured moments in our lives, when only the best will do. To commerate a special occasion or event in one’s life, such as a birth, marriage anniversary, there is nothing like a gift of a diamond bracelet. Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend, and nothing says friendship like a diamond bracelet. The gift of a diamond bracelet isn’t an inexpensive purchase; the giving of a gift like this says you mean more to me than monetary wealth. This gift isn’t an every day purchase making it all the more special to the wearer. A diamond bracelet will look stunning on any hand, and will complement any outfit. The choice of precious metal used is a personal one.
If your loved one has a jewellery collection that is predominately white gold, then that should be the choice of metal. There are variations of styles an example of this is the tennis braclet made famous by the tennis player Chris Everet, or rather she’s more famous for not wearing it. At a high profile tennis match the clasp of the bracelet came loose, and the match was overshadowed by tennis officials busily searching for the loose diamonds. The delicate, elegant bracelet then became known the “tennis braclet.There are as many variations of bracelet as there are diamond rings. An e.g. of this is the emerald bracelet, the ruby encrusted bracelet. The choice is a very personal thing.
The style of bracelet is often influenced by the current jewellery collection, perhaps the bracelet can be matched with a diamond ring or earrings or necklace. When purchasing your diamond bracelet like any expensive gems, there are some practical thing to keep in mind such as the carat weight, and clarity of the diamonds. Diamonds are very durable and should with care, last a lifetime, however you must keep in mind is that this kind of jewellery isn’t for everyday wear, epically as the clasps can be very delicate, and catch or break.
The price of this jewellery varies, anything from $1,000 to $10,000, it would be wise to have this, like all expensive jewellery, well insured. A certificate of authenticity from the gemmological institute will give you peace of mind, especially if you’re purchasing on the internet. Purchasing on the net is the perfect way to browse unencumbered by sales staff, while allowing you to view the bracelets in coloured 3d format, while comparing the competitive prices. Your choice of bracelet will be not only a financial investment, but also a romantic one.
Many online stores offering diamond bracelets such as Helzberg Diamonds offer a full 360 degree view of all products. They also have over 230 stores throughout the US.
