Susan Slobac asked:

Most people have at least a passing familiarity with what diamonds tend to look like. Beautifully glistening and sparkling, the clear appearance of the gemstone is known as the stone of choice for wedding rings and engagement rings. However, there are other types of diamonds available, and they are called colored diamonds. Designer jewelers apply their skill to pieces that feature these luxurious colored diamonds, and to great effect.

Cool Watches

Arjun Collier asked:

Lucien Piccard watches are well known for their superior craftsmanship, their attention to detail and their commitment to quality. The company was founded in Switzerland in 1923 and are some of the most sought after watches in the world. Vintage Lucien Piccard watches are especially prized by collectors and although they can sometimes be found at antique stores or at an auction house, the best selection to be found is online. If you are looking to collect Lucien Piccard watches, avoid purchasing any that are dented or that have cracked crystals. You want a watch that is in good vintage condition even if it does not work.

Antiques Roadshow?

I love PBS TV, mainly because it has such quality shows
like Antique Roadshow, to which I am listening to while
on *Answers*. Yeah, I know how to "multi-task"! :)
Anyway, the show is in Las Vegas and some woman
brought in this diamond ring, didn't have any idea
how much it was worth. The ring was worth between
$165,000 to $175,000!!!!!!!!
And the lady was so shocked, she played it really cool,
she said, "oh, really?" I love Antiques Roadshow for
the surprises and neat information on aniques.
How about you? Do you watch it? Any favorite recollections
of memorable appraisals?

Antique Diamond Rings Have Special Value

Illa Maden asked:

Antique diamond rings retain special value. Since they have had a former life, often within a family, they have special value and are an especially nice gift or possibly a special engagement ring, because they have a particular sentimental value.

Antique rings from other sources can also dispense a special or very romantic value to those who prize history, or even romantic notoriety.

Asking Your Man To Marry You….?

Hey there!
My boyfriend and I have been together for about 3 and a half years now and we are seriously considering marriage... In fact, it seems like it's kind of a game to see who will ask who first (but I think it'll wind up being me asking him.) Anyway, I wanted to get a little token to present him... kind of the equivalent of a woman's engagement ring, if you will, but I'm not sure. I am considering an antique pocket watch engraved with his initials (He's a history major and is really into antique/ old... stuff) or something like that. Obviously not a diamond ring, but I've heard of men's engagement rings... although I think that's kinda tacky. Any suggestions/ ideas on a nice, thoughtful gift I could get him that would represent our betrothal?
Much appreciated! Thanks!

Caring For Antique Jewelry and Metals

Victor Epand asked:

Jewelry and other metals are an important part of most antique collections. Many pieces of jewelry have been handed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms, while others may have drawn attention at an auction or store window. Since a great deal of antiques contain some type of metal, it is important to learn proper care techniques.

The History Of The Pocket Watch

Mike Eggert asked:

Pocket watches have been around since the 16th century. The early vintage model was of a more square design, and somewhat larger than today's versions. In the early days only the rich were able to own one, as it was a true status symbol of wealth and authority. In the same era, mechanisms were introduced to bring time-telling precision, and some of the earliest models even had an alarm.

Vintage Style Engagement Rings

Sydnie Vawdrey asked:

Vintage engagement rings are the perfect way for a bride to display her personality and style, but it can be very expensive to purchase a true vintage ring. So instead, some people choose to purchase a vintage style engagement ring rather than spending a lot of money on a vintage ring.

Vintage style engagement rings are modern pieces that are created to look just like a true vintage piece. Sometimes they are made as an exact replica of an antique ring, and other times vintage rings are designed to simple match the features of a certain time period.
