Happy October Everyone!

While most consumers associate this pumpkin-flavored month with Halloween candy and cozy sweaters, you, the Jewelry Enthusiast, know there’s much more to October than the chilly weather and the festive cliches.

You know that October is all about Opal and Tourmaline.These oceany, rainbow blues sing songs of the sea. While dreamy and eye-catching, their colors are wintery and indicative of the impending cold weather.

The hot trend spotted at the 2017 NYC Capsule trade show is delicate jewelry. This trend comes in many forms, from rings to thin necklaces. These majestic pieces are perfect for layering and stacking. The Fall / Winter season is here In New York City and we are shifting gears from bold summer pieces to much simpler and delicate pieces to keep the impending cold weather company. Capsule is the premier gathering of the finest apparel and accessories brands from around the world, so it's no surprise we stumbled upon these fantastic trends and brands. 

Each brand who participated in the Capsule show is a fashion influencer who plays a large role in shaping the future of the fashion landscape. Each brand has a different look and feel, but each creates delicate pieces that help the wearer transition seasons with ease.

Selling a diamond ring can be scary. Espcially if that ring comes with emotional baggage, familial ties, or simply inexperience of trading items for cash.

When selling diamonds (the much beloved and admired stone of our society), everyone worries about being scammed and not getting the highest price out there.

But, if you know the right steps to take, you'll be walking away with some serious $$$ and a piece of cake in no time.

Naturally formed Pink Diamonds are counted among the rarest and most valuable diamonds available today. 

One thing is for sure:

Walking out of the store with a sparkly PINK diamond ring is quite different from extracting it from somewhere underneath the surface of the Earth. We all have a general idea about where diamonds come from, but not many know the nitty gritty details of the formation of these precious stones.

But no worries. Here's how to clean your diamond ring the Right Way.

Before you bring your Diamond Ring in for an Appraisal, you've got to make it look its best. You wouldn't go to a job interview without showering would you? (We hope not).

So don't let Your Diamonds go to their appraisal without a shower of their own.

Clear and shiny diamonds are what will get you those higher profits. Not dusty, rusty stones.

A clean ring not only looks more impressive, but is more impressive. 

You want the jewelry appraiser to truly see your diamond ring for what it is and what it's worth. A good scrubbing will go a long way, letting you  show off every wonderous aspect of your ring: the meticulously cut diamond, the ornately designed prongs, and the carefully crafted setting.
