Waltham Crescent Watch for 2010

Posted in House Of Jewelry, Shopping Binge by admin on the July 23rd, 2010

The Waltham used to be a American watch brand and it quitted the watch making industry for reasons unknown. Any way, it came back as a Swiss brand a few years ago. Not sure it is because the power of the brand traditions or the influence of the man who steers the watch company, but anyway, the watch offerings from this brand is actually very interesting. Waltham watches combine novel designs with classic style that is part of the brand’s legacy, and the result is adorable good. The replica watches just look novel and fashion-forward. Their complex case construction is quite unique with distinctive lugs design.

One of this reborn brand’s 2010 new watch offering is the Waltham Crescent-a high-end luxury watch with a sporty look.Sized at 43mm, the case has three material options including 18k white gold, rose gold and yellow gold. The case is fitted with a anti-reflecting sapphire crystal glass and a crown featuring a blue gem as the cabochon, Beating inside is the La Joux-Perret Calibre 3513 automatic movement that has been OSC Chronometer certified. This high end movement features a 22k white gold rotor and provides the time, the date and power reserve display.

The sporty touch all comes from the dial that features divr watch style with large hour indicators. But the hands are really a big failure. They are large, but they are too short! While I admit that the overall look of the watch is not half bad, I can not tolerate this flaw.Personally, I love the white gold model with a black face best.To my knowledge, Waltham was a brand having a traditional railroad origin. And now it is clearly that the brand orientation is 50% retro and 50% sporty. Is it interesting or odd?

Of course, for it’s high price, more and more people chosee high quality replica watches for saving money, such as replcia IWC watch just cost $108.It’s cheap but high quality. And I am sure that this will be a great gift to your friends. These replica watches just cost you $98 - $300 in watchlux.com. You can’t miss it!

Posted in House Of Jewelry, Shopping Binge by admin on the August 8th, 2009

“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a celebrated Japanese maker of clockworks and wrist watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The company was built in 1924 when the first product, a tiny pocket watch called Citizen, was placed on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founding fathers once have been selected the name Citizen because they tried to find a direct way to the peoples spirit. This is still nowadays the notion behind wrist watches constructed by Citizen.

First watch with Eco-Drive - Models reaching from dress to athletics


For instance the debut Japanese watch including a wake-up-function was established by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen developed the first quartz watches with LCD display and afterwards also the smallest LCD wrist watch of all time. In the early 1990ties Citizen originated the premier series production of watchcases consisting of titanium. In addition to that, they designed the leadoff voice recognition watch which was another big milestone in their history. More than that that the concern was an outrider in producing dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the embedded bathometer - no one else was able to offer a similar specific function. Additional, Citizen is famous for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered watches. Fuelled only by light, it doesn’t require any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen has an assortment for everybody and every occasion.

History of the Wrist Watch

Posted in House Of Jewelry, Shopping Binge by admin on the June 1st, 2009

From pocket watch to a fashion accessory. What was once, in the earliest years of portable watches, considered to be unsuitable for men and only for women, has developed nowadays into a fashion utensil that everyone has. In the meantime, the wristwatch is no longer only a instrument to tell the time. It is a designer piece and can indicate much more than the time.

A great deal of mechanics in a small housing

The first confirmable portable timepiece was constructed in 1500. This was not a wrist watch, but more of a pocket watch. Through technical advance, which made it possible for people to house mechanics in an increasingly smaller space, the needed parts of the clockworks were able to be brought into a manageable form. In this way, the first pocket watch was born, which at the time was still the size of an egg.

The computerized wrist watch from Japan

A completely different wrist watch came onto the market in the 1970’s from Japan, which had built its own watch industry. The new wrist watch from Japan was no more set on a mechanical basis, but on a computerized control. This wrist watch expanded its range of capability quickly. The wristwatch no more just showed the time. The small timepiece on the wrist now also knew the date, the day of the week and even knew whether a leap year was involved.

The wristwatch as jewelry

Today, the wrist watch is much more than a watch. The wristwatch has turn into a fashion accessory. Wrist watches come in all colours and forms cogitable. One can also buy compatible watches from all fashion collection. The current watches are dominated by the correct fashion trends. Despite these contrary trends, there is something for every taste. The tiny watches, which require glasses to tell the time, and the extravagant large watches, which make it difficult to walk upright. Anyway, one thing is clear: science is still likely to make so much advancement - that the wristwatch will be seen on the wrists of people for a long time, to answer the question as to what time it is.

Online Jewelry Store, Basic Knowledge Part 1

Posted in House Of Jewelry by admin on the April 6th, 2008

An Online Jewelry Store is without question one of the best starting points for your online business venture. Initial outlay is minimal, product is easy to handle and returns can be massive.

This article is part 1 of a 3 part tutorial that discusses some basic knowledge you should know when you decide that the jewelry industry is the path you want to take. Parts 2 and 3: Gold rating and Watches are still to be released. They can however be found on our website: http://watches-n-jewelry.com.

The Four c’s & Valuation

The four c’s stand for color, clarity, cut & carat. These are the parameters used when valuing a diamond and various other precious stones.

For now, we will concentrate on diamonds as these are the most popular of all gemstones.

Color refers to the tint or shade of the stone. The clearer the stone, the greater the value. Most people look on diamonds as being expensive clear see-through objects. We all know that diamonds are expensive. Clear and see-through however is on the whole not the case. Practically all diamonds used in jewelry will have faint, barely visible yellow or brown tints. To determine the affect the color has on the value of a stone; the D-Z Color Grading Scale was developed, with D being colorless and Z being light yellow.

Clarity or clearness represents the amount of flaws or blemishes on the surface of, or inside the stone. The rule is, the fewer flaws a stone has, the more expensive it will be. The Gemological Institute of America, GIA grades clarity in the following manner:

(fl) Flawless; Shows no inclusions or blemishes of any sort under 10X magnification when observed by an experienced grader.

(if) Internally Flawless; Has no inclusions when examined by an experienced grader using 10X magnification, but will have some minor blemishes.

(vvs1 and vvs2) Very Very Slightly Included; Contains minute inclusions that are difficult even for experienced graders to see under 10X magnification.

(vs1 and vs2) Very Slightly Included; Contains minute inclusions such as small crystals, clouds, or feathers when observed with effort under 10X magnification.

(si1 and si2) Slightly Included; Contains inclusions (clouds, included crystals, knots, cavities, and feathers) that are noticeable to an experienced grader under 10X magnification.

(i1, i2, i3) Included; Contains inclusions (possibly large feathers or large included crystals) that are obvious under 10X magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.

Our advice to both dealers and consumers is to look for jewelry pieces with diamonds of SI1 and SI2 or VS1 and VS2 clarity. The cost of anything above VS2 is prohibitive and you are likely to get complaints if you offer pieces with diamonds of I1-I3 standard.

Cut refers to the finish or the shape and style of the diamond. There are many different cuts; the most popular in our experience is the brilliant or round cut.

Carat is the term used to express the weight of a diamond. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams. The weight measurement for smaller diamonds is often referred to as points with one hundred points making up one carat.

Valuation. Large diamonds are rare and consequently more sought after than smaller stones of the same quality. The added demand affects the value and therefore a larger stone can attract a higher price. A solitaire ring for example with a one carat stone will almost always be more expensive than a ring with say, three stones making up one or even more than one carat. This is where something we refer to as carat levels becomes relevant. Stones of 9/10ths of a carat rather than one carat or 1.90 carat instead of two carat are normally less expensive.

Tip When you buy a piece of diamond jewelry, always aim for just under the next full carat. There is no visible difference when the stone is set but there are big savings in cost.

Inexpensive Promise Rings

Posted in House Of Jewelry by admin on the March 28th, 2008

Promise rings are rings that are exchanged between two people in accordance with a promise made between them. The promise may be between two people who intend to marry after some time. In such cases, the promise ring is followed with an engagement ring and then a marriage ring. Promise rings are also exchanged to seal friendships, to signify religious beliefs and to promise from abstinence from sex until a certain age.

There are many types of promise rings available, including the expensive rings like diamond promise ring, gold diamond ring and titanium ring. These are best for those who can spare some money for the sake of the ring. Those who have a tighter budget should opt for less expensive promise rings. There are inexpensive promise rings available like the silver ring and white gold ring. It is up to the buyer to determine which ring is better to buy. Of the rings, it can be said that the more expensive the ring is, the better its life and longevity. There are also cases of copper and brass promise rings being exchanged just to seal the promise and not because of the price of the ring. Inexpensive promise rings are usually exchanged between two people who simply want to seal their promise, rather than show off the ring.

Whichever inexpensive promise ring is bought to seal the promise, it should be ensured that the promise is clearly understood between the two people in order to prevent any unforeseen complications that may occur between the two people due to any misunderstanding. However, the exchange of inexpensive promise rings may not provoke any misunderstandings between the partners, as these rings are available to anyone and for anyone. It is often the expensive promise rings that have more weight in the promise.

Jewelry for body piercing can be very simple or very bold. Most men will have a pierced ear with a simple gold or silver ring.
