When choosing a piece of jewelry, it is typical to want something with some sort of special meaning. Often we find certain symbols to be appealing as we feel connected to the meanings they convey. Whether it’s a cultural symbol or a specific gemstone, there are many reasons people wear the jewelry they wear.

## A Diamond is a Girl’s Best Friend
Prior to jewelry company De Beers’ “A Diamond is Forever” campaign, it was not so readily assumed that engagements and marriages required the purchase of a flashy [diamond ring](https://www.luriya.com/page/sell-diamond-ring). By equating the toughness of diamonds with the desire for a marriage to last forever, proposing with a diamond ring became absolutely mandatory, altering Western society forever. While this anomaly is widely acknowledged, it has yet to be combatted or swapped out for any better alternative.

It is a common misconception that the only way to propose is with a classic, white [diamond ring](https://www.luriya.com/page/sell-diamond-ring). While the movies and media never seem to depict otherwise, this doesn’t mean that the world isn’t full of unique and creative brides-to-be, who aren’t interested in receiving anything classic -- ever.

## [Silver For Sale: Cash Or Keep?](https://www.luriya.com/havilah/silver-for-sale-cash-or-keep)

АIt’s no secret that many jewelry owners do not know the value of their jewelry. It is frequently assumed that a silver chain or a gold ring are worth a lot more than they really are. Of course, this could go the other way as well. As clutter piles up and chains tangle and tarnish, it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s fake. For example, when it comes to silver, many do not know the difference between silver and silver-plate. When [selling silver](https://www.luriya.com/page/sell-silver), it’s important to be educated on this topic as sterling silver obviously has a much higher value than silver-plate.
