Diamond Deck Shoes


First I had an idea that this shoes will be something with a diamonds on, but I was mislead. The brand Billionaire Boys Club, just released very simple rubber&canvas shoes that just bare a name Diamond Deck Shoes and have some draft design of the diamonds on the upper side of the shoes. So the bottom line is  -no diamonds involved.
In this moment this Diamond Deck Shoes can be bought just in Tokyo in the Ice Cream Store.
I am not sorry that this Diamond Deck Shoes are not selling in USA.

It is time to buy a diamond

Almost all business are hit by recession and the same is with a diamond jewelery industry. Before the recession diamonds and diamond jewelery was becoming more expensive. Every year the diamonds prices were highest than previous.

But not this year. The diamonds and diamond jewelery are with the same price tag as last year. The online diamond shops which are opening almost every day are with a better organization, they sell in the whole country with a broad customer base than the off line diamond shops and some of them even sell internationally. All this is influencing on the diamond and diamond jewelery prices in the good way. They becoming cheaper to buy.
Tips for best value:
- Choose a white gold instead platinum. It looks same but is cheaper.
- Choose diamond not bigger than 1 or 1,5 carats. It offers the best value for the price.
- Ask for a 30 day guarantee and GIA or other laboratory certificates.

Hope and Wittelsbach-Graff diamonds are not from same stone


According to a group of scientists led by Jeffrey Post, curator of the National Gem Collection at the Smithsonian Institution, The famed Hope Diamond and its chief rival, the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond, were not cut from the same stone. The Hope is 45.52 carats and the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond is 31.06 carats.

They were some speculation over the past decades that Hope diamond and the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond are from the same origin. The speculations were that this two famous and valuable diamonds are cut from the same rough diamond.

The speculations were based on the fact that both diamonds, Hope diamond and the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond have the same physical conditions, same color and clarity, but not the same pattern.

Scientists who were examining this two diamonds are leave the posibility that both of them are originating from the same diamond field but definitely not form the same stone.

With more than 50 years out of the display, Wittelsbach-Graff diamond is the most famous diamond people have never seen. The last time Wittelsbach-Graff diamond was on the public display in 1958.
