Lets talk about diamonds

What are the four most important thing a woman should really know about diamonds? The 4 C’s, you think? As somebody who’s been to a Bruges diamond museum almost as many times as to a jewellery boutique I can honestly say that no matter how much you learn about clarity, colour, cut and carat, all the knowledge quickly evaporates from your beautiful head as soon as you find yourself in front of the shopping window. That’s why I believe that when it comes to diamonds, all we need to know is a) diamonds make us beautiful b) size doesn’t always mean quality c) it is important to know a jeweller who understands the 4 C’s rules d) the best thing about being a woman is having a man who would love to give you a diamond or two or three. I know I’m probably old-fashioned, but I do feel that receiving a beautiful piece of jewellery as a present from somebody very special is a wonderful and very intimate experience that makes a beautiful memory and puts a smile on your face every time you look at your gift.

I won’t be telling you here where and how to find a perfect man. Right now we are going to talk about finding a good jeweller.

California-based Anjolee is one of those companies you can rely on when looking for beautiful classic jewellery. Having being in business since 1977, Anjolee is now one of the leading manufactures of high-end diamond jewellery that can be found in many boutiques across the US and Canada as well as several on-line shops. In 2008 the company also launched their own on-line shop, so everyone who admires Anjolee jewellery could buy custom-made pieces, from bracelets, earrings and necklaces to bridal set rings and anniversary rings for women directly from the manufacturer.

The custom-made option is something I found to be really special and not so easy to come by. I picked a bridal set ring and was given an option to have it made from either gold or platinum, choose the colour and karat for the gold option and select quality of diamonds.

The website allows you to play with options to suit your taste and budget and then examine your design at every angle by using 360° and zoom features. Your treasure is then made by a jeweller from Anjolee own production team and shipped to you via FedEx. Each diamond piece of jewellery comes with a certificate of authenticity.

If you want to learn more, you can visit Anjolee website or follow them via Twitter or Facebook. Or you can simply forward a link to that very special man in your life because, lets face it, diamonds make a wonderful Christmas present.
