Friendship bracelets are special bracelets
Friendship bracelets are special bracelets. As a symbol of friendship these bracelets are given from one friend to another. The amount of thread used in bracelets can vary. They are handmade and usually made out of embroidery floss or thread. Thicker bracelets are commonly worn by both male and female surfers. There are various styles and patterns, but most are based on the same simple half-hitch knot.They are particularly popular with pre-teen and adolescent girls and with present-day hippies, deadheads or Rainbow Family participants. The smallest pattern, a double chain knot, requires two strings. The making of friendship bracelets is a version of macrame. Because of their versatility, they are worn by both males and females of all ages. The candystripe can have as few as three strings and as many as forty, based on pattern and thickness.
A Diamond Wedding Ring
A diamond solitaire wedding ring gives the luster and glamour to the deep feeling of love. However, a couple should carefully select the ring as its many aspects should be first explored in order to buy a fitting and affordable one for the occasion. To highlight the glitter of diamonds on the top of the ring, ensure that the metal band is comparatively less gleaming and so a white metal will be perfect.You must extensively shop around for a suitable ring as you have to keep the metal band also in mind. Diamonds have the glitter to attract women and so are the wedding rings as they symbolize the eternal love the man and his woman have for each other. Do not rush to the jeweler’s shop to buy diamond solitaire wedding rings. For instance, bezel settings nestles the smaller diamond to highlight it.
How Durable is My Gemstone Jewellery?
First of all a note about the hardness and therefore relative durability of gemstones. To measure hardness, the jewellery industry uses the Mohs scale. This gem-trade standard, conceived by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, measures the ability of a gem or mineral to resist abrasion damage.Diamond at 10 is the hardest whereas talc at 1 is the softest. Popular gemstones like amethyst and citrine register 7 whereas rubies and sapphires register 9. Most of us come off the beach on the first day with the 3 s’s all achieved - rings caked in sand, sea-salt and suntan lotion. Nude sunbathing, as far as silver and gold jewellery is concerned, is a must! Remember also that sand will scratch the surface of precious metals.
