Useful Expensive Watch Purchasing Tips

Useful Expensive Watch Purchasing Tips

When you are searching for a watch able to meet the demands of your ever active lifestyle you should take a look at the Festina range of sporting watches. Offering such features as a tachymeter, a split timer to measure both speed and time and a lap counter, this official racing timepiece of the Tour de France may be just what you need. Diving watches from Seiko feature screw down crowns and case backs, along with water resistance of up to six hundred feet.

If you prefer a watch with cutting edge style, check out characteristics like unusual case shapes, unique colors on the face, and different types of material for the band or strap. Established brand names such as Kenneth Cole for both men and women are sure to have something to take your interest.

For a watch of a more casual nature, allowing you to relax and take things easy, you should go for comfort and water resistance and this is exactly what’s on offer with our Skagen watches for men and women. This way you will not have to worry if you forget to take off your watch before swimming!

If you have a tendency to always be running late, you may need a watch to help you with your time management. Choose one with a second hand and distinct markers. Many examples within the Seiko Kinetic watches for men, which are driven by the movement of your own wrist, or the Citizen Eco-Drive watches for men and women which are powered by light, have timers which are easy to set and you can use this feature to remind you of what is next on your agenda.

If you have a more reserved look in mind to match your attire for a particular type of event, models in the men’s Bulova selection with a stainless steel bracelet, and with black or brown leather straps and a plain dark colored face may be a good choice. Michele and Bulova wristwatches for women are enhanced with a touch of luxury such as a diamond or semi precious stone on the bezel.

If it’s a piece of jewelry you are looking for with the additional function of telling you the time, watches with diamonds are always popular. You will find watches with a diamond placed on the hour, on the bezel or with diamond cases within our Michele, Citizen, Seiko and Bulova collections.

If your aim is to find a good watch, which will keep excellent time and hold a classic look for years to come, opt for one of the light or motion powered varieties such as can be found in the Seiko range. Citizen have luxury watches available for men or women which are powered with Eco-drive light operating on long lasting renewable batteries.

When you first put your watch on, you may find it needs adjusting to fit you perfectly. Watches with leather bands or straps can be easily tightened. However, timepieces with stainless steel bands may need to have links removed which you can do by following the instructions in the owner’s manual. If you have any difficulty with this or you need to have more links added you can contact the manufacturers direct who will be happy to assist you.

Insider Tips for Purchasing a Diamond

Insider Tips for Purchasing a Diamond


For many people, a diamond is the largest purchase of their life. With that consideration, we recognize the importance of understanding exactly what you are buying. This guide simplifies the four Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, as well as diamond shapes and certifications. After reading this guide, you will be better prepared to choose the diamond that is right for you.

The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance. There is no single measurement of a diamond that defines its cut, but rather a collection of measurements and observations that determine the relationship between a diamond's light performance, dimensions and finish. Most gemologists consider cut the most important diamond characteristic because even if a diamond has perfect color and clarity, a diamond with a poor cut will have dulled brilliance. The width and depth can have an effect on how light travels within the diamond, and how it exits in the form of brilliance.

Too Shallow: Light is lost out the bottom causing the diamond to lose brilliance.Too Deep: Light escapes out the sides causing the diamond to appear dark and dull.

Acting as a prism, a diamond can divide light into a spectrum of colors and reflect this light as colorful flashes called fire. Just as when looking through colored glass, color in a diamond will act as a filter, and will diminish the spectrum of color emitted. The less color in a diamond, the more colorful the fire and the better the color grade:

Other Tips:
• The five most common settings for precious gems are prong, bezel, channel, pavĂ©, and invisible.• Diamonds are graded by four characteristics: Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Color.• Like diamonds, other gemstones are also evaluated by carat, cut, clarity, and color.• Gemstones are priced and sold by weight, calculated in carats, which are 1/5 of a gram.• When buying a diamond be sure the color and clarity are the same quality as the side stones.• Round brilliant diamonds usually contain 58 facets.• Look for diamonds that have no dark areas but an even brilliance throughout.• If a gemstone has been treated to enhance color or cover flaws, it should cost less than a "natural" stone.• The Moh's Scale is used to measure a gemstone's hardness. A diamond is 10. Sapphires and rubies are 9. Topaz is 8.• Choose diamonds in the SI range rather than flawless to save money. The SI flaws (inclusions) are not visible to the naked eye.• Choose a bezel setting for your diamond to make it appear larger.• Consider the size and shape of a lady's hand when buying her a ring.• All rings should be stamped with a Hallmark (PT, 18K, etc.) indicating the purity of the metal used.

When choosing a metal it really has to do with your tastes in that department. Yellow gold is more traditional but white gold and silver are becoming vastly more popular. Each metal shows off a diamond brilliantly in its own right. A two-toned banned can be the perfect setting for a diamond as well. White diamonds, in my opinion, seem to pop out more in yellow gold and colored stones seem to pop out more in silver or white gold settings. But, it is really your choice when choosing the perfect diamond ring.
