Seiko Dia-shock Automatic 23 Jewels Men’s Watch SARB003

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

SARB003 is a marvelous collection from Seiko. It is a greatest men’s watch from Seiko with 23 Jewels. Its look is great. It is really a well made watch.
It has a diameter of 39mm which is one of the biggest in the Mechanical line. The lugs are thick and brushed. They are even thicker than some divers of similar diameter. Watch comes with a sturdy bracelet to match its solid watch case. The both size and thickness of this watch gave it that solid feel.

This watch comes in three color variants. The SARB003 comes with brushed bezel while the other two variants have polished ones. Seiko watches sometimes come with different types of finishing on different color variants. This series is one that has these differences. It is hard to describe the color of the dial. It seems to vary between brown and olive color under different lighting.

The dial is pretty well made. It even has very fine concentric circles originating from the center and it is more attractive and more legible. Most people who purchase this watch is happy with its pleasing dial.

Seiko SARB003 features 23 Jewel 6R15B automatic movement that hand winds and hacks, Faceted sapphire crystal on front, hardlex crystal on see thru back. Its water resistant is 100Meter. It has couple of faint marks on the case and some on the back of the lugs from strap and/or bracelet change or sizing so we’ll rate it excellent/near mint. Bracelet has been sized but all links are included, as is the box and paperwork. This watch is really a too fancy.

Jewellery Care and Handling

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Dear jewellery is a precious collection, a daily essential for all jewellery lovers. If you wish your gems, crystal, pearls, silver to remain sparkle and become the admiration and attraction among your friends and colleagues, do not fail to protect and cherish them. In order for the lovely piece to last, it is worth being properly taken care of. The following are some care & handling tips that we offer to you.

  • Remove your jewellery once you are at home.
  • Clean the jewellery with a dry cloth unless otherwise as advised on the care instruction stated by the jewellery seller.
  • Keep all your jewellery in an airtight container or zip lock bag if possible, else a closed jewellery box is advisable.
  • Never leave/store your jewellery in the bathroom especially silver jewellery as metals and some gems are afraid of damp.
  • It is necessary to keep your jewellery away from heat and sunlight as they may make your jewellery loses its original color.
  • No-Tarnish Strips – put no-tarnish strips in with your jewelleries and change the strips every two to three months.
  • Chalk – another substitute of no-tarnish strips is Chalk.  Put a few pieces of chalkboard chalk in with your jewellery. The chalk works similarly to the strips, absorbing the airborne substances that cause tarnish. Chalk should also be changed every couple of months.
  • Silver Tarnish Cloth – wrap your jewellery with Silver Tarnish Cloth, also known as Pacific Cloth, which is available at any fabric stores.  It also works well too if you cut pieces of it to fit inside the drawers or compartment of your jewellery box.
  • Quick Wipedown – give each piece of jewellery a quick wipe with a Sunshine cloth or other jewelry cleaning/polishing cloth after wearing it. This will help remove dirt/things that settled on the surface of your jewellery while it was out of its closed storage, and this will help prevent tarnish from forming.

Cartier, My Lucky Charm in Risky Life

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Women are a special kind of thing. They attract you first by the body and then this charisma deepens into your soul. By this way, love is produced. Ten years ago, I fell in love with a girl. She looked amazing then. I was totally attracted by her. Then, after one year of sweet marriage life, I was called up to join the army. Of course, I believe severing the nation is as great as love. However, it was not long since the joining that I was trapped into a plot, heavily injured.

That was a dreary winter day. Lack of liveliness, lack of warmth, I woke up after a deep coma, only to find myself lying in a dense bush. I quickly made sense of what had happened. I got separate from others and I was lost in the ancient forest. There seemed to be no food or water around me, and what’s worse, no sign of living things at all. For quite a while, I was sure to die there, from either the freezing weather or the bleeding wound. Both of them could be the terminator for me, since I was so weak to cry out for help or remove myself out of there.

I didn’t know exactly how much time I had laid there, half dead. But I did remember when I was trying to turn my stiff body over, something knocked on the ground. That was the Cartier necklace she gave to me before I left. She held it tightly, took it over in my hand and looked me deep into the eye. That was the last glimpse I caught of her eye before I left, and I was afraid that would be the last one before I died.

I held that necklace as tightly as she did on the departing day. Every memory was so vivid as of it had happened yesterday. I could even smell her perfume and sense her existence by the delicate Cartier jewel. Not until this day did I fully understand what was behind the superficially beautiful jewel. That was not its royal atmosphere not its skillful cutting, not its fantastic design, pure material, or magnificent structure. That was love, the hidden love behind the surface.

At that moment, I came to realize why Cartier stood refined in face of flying time and why more and more couples chose Cartier jewelry as their only witness to loyalty and sincerity. That was all because Cartier jewelry was more than a decorative wearing. It was the symbol for love and the strength love owned.

I lay there, thinking about all these things. The experiences I shared with her slipped through my brain, like an old film. Suddenly, I reopened my half-close eyes and struggled to my feet. I felt something was injected into my body and my soul, and to my amazement, I should move slightly. I had no idea about what had happened. The only impression I keep now is that I murmured my lover’s name repeatedly until I succeeded in staggering out of that hell.

Seeing it today, I seem to have understood everything. Since I’m a complete antitheist?the only explanation is that there indeed exists miracles in our life, and that miracle can only be found in love.

As a well-know international jewelry brand, Cartier has won an endurable fame among the royal families and other big figures in human history. One Prince of Wales hailed Cartier as “Joaillier des Rois, Roi des Joailliers” (Jeweller to Kings, King of Jewellers”).Cartier has been the symbol of grace and elegance over time. Can’t wait to find one for yourself? Just visit http://www.cartierlovejewelry.com/ and have a look!

You will definetely find one that belongs to you!

Why Cubic Zirconia is a better choice over Diamond

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

Cubic Zirconia or CZ is best known as a substitute for diamonds as it is most affordable alternative to invest thousands in diamond.

People might think that CZ jewellery are nothing but cheap diamond imitations. But think again!  Unlike other gemstones that are mined from the earth, CZ is synthetic and man-made. Synthetic does not mean fake. It simply means that the stones are made in a facility or a laboratory and because it is made in a controlled environment, it ensures CZ stones are made with high level of clarity, colour and quality.

There are many reasons why people choose CZ over diamonds. The cost of CZ is often a fraction of the cost for the same piece with a diamond. For someone looking for a colourful, stylish, and practical piece, CZ may be a good choice.

Not only CZ be more affordable than diamonds, but they are often just as beautiful as most diamond arrangements. It is also very hard to tell the difference between the two stones. Often, training has to be done for an individual to be able to know the difference. Many jewellery employees will not even tell the difference until looking closer at the stone and setting.

CZ jewellery are not only dazzling but they are economical as well. It does not take much to look glamorous. Lastly, CZ comes in a variety of colours, far more than what a diamond can offer. CZ can be found in many colours, cuts, and styles for the individual to choose from. You can have a whole collection of CZ jewellery that matches every occasion! They will always make you look stunning and dazzling without burning a hole in your pocket! What more can a lady ask for?

A brief history of the wearing of Necklaces for Women

Monday, December 14th, 2009

People have worn jewellery ever since time began including necklaces. Originally the word jewellery itself was anglicised from an old French word “joule” (jewel) but it does also date further back in history and is linked to the latin word plaything. Normally jewellery is made from only precious metals but in the past designers have utilised many other materials including wood, rock and even cloth however silver is still the most common. Throughout time necklaces became more and more elaborate as crafts men developed their skills. The plain and simple evolved into differing styles for men and women.

Necklaces for men are a must have fashion accessory for the modern day urban male. As necklaces were adapted into newer designs there meaning also changed for some people. Some wore them in battle for good luck whilst others used them to warn off evil spirits. A good modern day example of a potent symbol used in jewellery these days would that of the crucifix. Other examples that are used in religion are amulets which again are hung on a chain around the neck. Finally a heart shaped necklace known as a locket can also be looked upon as a symbol of love.

There are three types of necklaces available. The traditional necklace is a single threaded beaded piece or a chain. Men’s necklaces are usually just a chain for example. A pendant is another type of necklace that hangs from a chain or something like a leather thong which is an alternative option to consider. Finally a choker is a wider piece of jewellery and sits tighter around the upper part of the neck.

The most unusual necklaces in the history of mankind must be those that were worn by the Pa Dong Long Neck tribe from Burma. Children were made to wear hoops from an early age around there necks. As the child grew more rings were added until when reaching adult age as many as 28 rings were worn in one go. The rings around the neck give the illusion that the neck is getting longer and stretching. In fact what is really happening is the collar bones are being weighed down over time, forcing them to lower hence more neck length. The women who wear the rings do get to remove them but only on their wedding night. It is hard to imagine the discomfort in this procedure but much neck washing is required. They are then slipped back around the neck after the wedding night is over to remain for the rest of their lives. This is partly due to the neck muscles not being strong enough to support their heads anymore.

It was not only in Burma that the practice of hoop ring around the neck was practised but also in Africa too. The women here were called giraffe women due to the elongated necks they now had. The hoops were worn around not just there necks but also there arms and legs. The brass rings would symbolise her devotion to her husband. It was the responsibility of the husband to provide the rings which also reflected his wealth with more he provided. The rings were only removed after his death as the rings symbolised a bond which was now broken. The practice of wearing brass rings in this way is now dying out as the modern tribes prefer to wear the more usual type of necklaces.
