Precious Metal Update

Gold is moving on up. It has hit $670 an ounce. There were reports earlier in the year that it might go all the way to $1000 and ounce by December.

The weak Dollar isn't helping things either.

Platinum is holding at $1,300 an ounce.

Lets just hope jewellers will opt to make less profits and not raise jewellery prices too much.

Keep checking cause i woun't let you miss a thing.

Diamond Cut

Never under estimate the cut of a diamond.

Without an " ideal cut" to allow for total internal reflection where light reflects of the diamond facets, then a diamond is dead.

How can it be dead you ask if it was never alive? Well one of the major reasons diamonds are famous is because of their sparkle. Without it, they are just as good as any other gem.
The fire of a diamond is what sets it apart from the rest and it is only achievable if the stone is cut well.

If the diamond is cut too deep, the light escapes from the side facets or pavillion.

If cut too shallow, the light will escape from the bottom of the diamond. Both are very undesirable effects.

Be careful when purchasing your rings that you are not investing in "lifeless" diamonds.

Metal Prices

Hi,
would like to draw your attention to the gold price.

It has hit $660 an ounce. If it keeps going at this rate, diamond rings will get significantly more expensive.

Unfortunately at $1,300 an ounce, the price of Platinum is also going through the roof. It might end up hitting ring and jewellery lovers where it hurts the most.
In the pocket.

Will keep you posted.
