Have you been shopping around for wedding and engagement rings and you keep coming upon wedding bands sets? If so, you might be wondering why this is a good choice and why you keep seeing them everywhere. A lot of people never think about these sets until they start shopping and keep seeing them over and over again.

Wedding bands sets are nice because they come with both the engagement and wedding ring in one set. This ensures that when you put the two pieces together they will look really good together. The stones are of the same quality, the gold or metal is of the same quality, and they look great on the same finger.

In addition to looking really good together, you can often save when you buy wedding bands sets. Instead of paying top dollar for two pieces, you will generally find that you get both rings in these sets for much less than you would pay if you had purchased them wedding jewelry and planning their wedding and this is a great way to do it.

Comfort is also another benefit of wedding bands sets. The two pieces of sets usually snap together so you don’t have the two rings sliding in different directions and hurting the fingers to either side. Comfort should be a consideration when buying a ring and wedding bands sets will ensure that your ring is as comfortable as it is beautiful.

Wedding trio sets come in many different styles, shapes, and sizes. Some of them are quite simple while others are very extravagant.

Have you been shopping for a wedding band and you keep seeing titanium? Are you wondering why anyone would choose a mens titanium wedding band instead of gold, platinum, or even silver? This is a common question and many men don’t realize just how fitting the titanium can be for their needs. Titanium has become a popular choice for men of all ages and walks of life.

Titanium wedding bands are available in all of the most popular styles and settings but they are very affordably priced, so you can buy one on any budget. Overall this type of wedding band is very appealing!

Its History

It takes nature hundreds of millions of years to make a diamond. Over millennia, heat and pressure deep within the earth turn carbon, one of the basic elements of life, into a beautiful diamond. In time, the diamond crystals are driven closer to the earth’s surface by plate tectonics and volcanic activity, and after being harvested, can be found in places like the jewelry from VistaBella.

Humankind first found and exploited the properties of diamonds around 800 BCE. These diamonds were found in the riverbeds of India, and were thought to bring the possessor kismet, or good fortune. Today, diamonds are mined in Brazil and South Africa, as well as Canada, Russia and Australia.

Before the diamond was used for jewelry, the stone was used for drill bits and engraving tools. The Greeks named this hard, seemingly indestructible stone adamas, which means “invincible.” Knives could not cut it and other stones could not scratch it. The diamond maintains its sheen and shimmer for a lifetime.

Diamonds became symbols of strength, courage and invincibility in the Middle Ages. Its current status as the ultimate gift of love came by way of the Grecian myth about Cupid. In order for the arrows of Cupid to pierce the heart of any mortal, they had to be tipped with diamonds. Today, the diamond is the gem of choice to reflect love. Just as a diamond turns pure white light into the fire of the rainbow, so the gift of a diamond transforms the purity of your love into fire.

How To Care For Diamonds

“Diamonds are indeed the hardest mineral, but with its great value you can consider it as that which the most fragile.”

When you are shopping for diamonds, most shoppers will pay attention to the Four C’s of diamond purchasing- clarity, color, cut and carat weight. But after you have selected the perfect diamond gift for a loved one or for yourself, you need to pay attention to the fifth “C” of diamonds which is care. VistaBella recommends a regular professional cleaning to keep your diamond jewelry looking magnificent. A professional cleaning clears off any build-up on the gem and gives the setting a high, just like new shine. You should also have the setting checked once a year by a professional jeweler. In between regular professional cleanings, you can take care of your diamond jewelry to keep it looking its best.

Cleaning

·    Soak and wash your diamond jewelry. Use warm water with a mild detergent to clean off day-to-day dust. Use a very soft brush to remove more stubborn dirt, but be careful not to scratch the setting.

·    Rinse with warm water. Rinse off the detergent residue and any lingering particles of dirt.

·    Dry with a lint-free towel. After washing, use a lint-free cloth to pat the jewelry dry.

You can also try a solution of 1 part ammonia to 6 parts water for cleaning. Ethyl alcohol may be used as well. For hard-to-reach places, try a toothpick or unwaxed dental floss to remove tarnishing debris.

Ultrasonic cleaners are not recommended for diamonds with inclusions. The only thing that can scratch a diamond is another diamond, so keep your diamond jewelry in individual jewelry boxes so that your precious stones and settings will not get scratched. Diamond jewelry should be stored in soft pouches or fabric-lined jewelry cases to protect the stones and settings from accidental damage. You can also wrap diamond jewelry in tissue paper and store in small cardboard boxes. When traveling, don’t put your jewelry in your luggage. Take your jewelry in your carry-on bag so that you can have it with you at all times. Insure valuable pieces of jewelry against theft or loss.

Avoid touching the surface of the gem. Your fingers will leave traces of oil that dull the diamond’s brilliance. Do not expose the diamond to household chemicals such as chlorine bleach or hairspray. The chemicals can dull the finish of a diamond. Avoid wearing your diamond jewelry where it could be splattered with grease, lotions, oils or powders. Remove your diamond jewelry if you are doing rough or heavy work.

White Cultured Pearl Necklace Bracelet Earrings Set

There are a lot of types of pearls emerging now in the market, and everyone just loves them! One of them is the Mother of Pearl. It is the iridescent lining found on the inside of the shells of some mollusks such as large oysters, abalones, pearl mussels and paua shells. The multi-colored shimmer of mother of pearl is caused by variations in the mollusk’s diet as well as conditions in the environment.

Mother of pearl has been used in gold and silver rings, necklaces, brooches and buttons. This classic material is also used for jewelry, inlay work, combs, knife handles, playing-card cases and fans.

The most important characteristic of mother of pearl is luster, the way the light is caught by the mother of pearl and returned to the viewer’s eye. Very reflective and distinctive colored mother of pearl can make elegant earrings and necklaces with a vintage feel.

Mother of pearl is believed to reduce stress and is used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve anxiety and promote calmness and peace of mind.

VistaBella uses the highest grade mother of pearl to create our jewelry. We believe that excellent jewelry begins with superior materials. We select mother-of-pearl with outstanding luster and distinctive color to craft our gold and silver rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. These are just perfect for any occasions such as weddings and birthdays!

CARE

Mother of pearl can be coated by a professional jeweler to retain its luster and protect the delicate material from scratches and fading. Clean mother of pearl jewelry by wiping with a moist cloth and gently patting dry.  Never use ultrasonic or steam-cleaning methods on mother of pearl jewelry.  Store mother of pearl jewelry in individual cases to protect against accidental damage.
