old solitaire Engagement Rings

old solitaire Engagement Rings


Diamonds remain to be one of the most sought-after possessions for they report perfection, beauty, power, and wealth. Among all gemstones, a solitaire is thought about the most favorable particularly in engagements.

An engagement ring is a piece of jewelry worn with much value. Engagement rings oftentimes lead to a spectacular, union between two lives. History affirms that engagement rings came about in 1215 when Pope Innocent Iii declared an interlude for marriages. In those times, as promise from the man that he would not abandon his woman during the waiting period, a simple metal band was given to the woman.

These bands were later enhanced and accentuated with gemstones and at last came to be known as engagement rings.

Today, modern technology provides for wide varieties of solitaire rings, perfectly cut and ornamented. Yet despite the boom of modern designs made of preponderant brands, many couples still prefer heirloom or antique engagement ring.

An antique solitaire ring has its unique charm that cannot be found in mass marketed jewelries. Passed from generation to generation, antique solitaire engagement rings bear peruse to unconditional, endless loves. It brings ardent hope of persisting bond for the would-be couple.

Any ring over 50 years of existence is an antique. antique rings are often lavishly designed. They have distinctly various designs, together with Victorian, Edwardian, and Art-Deco, to name a few. It could even be said that no two antique rings are ever the same, as none of them could ever have same cuts.

Antique rings unlike the new fashioned rings, made out of state of the art technology, are not perfectly cut but this very imperfection adds even more to the ingenuity and uniqueness of each piece.

Though rare, you can still get hold of antique solitaire engagement rings if you are clever and sick person sufficient to crusade for it. Here are some suggestions:

You can first rummage your mother's jewelry box, who knows what prized rights you might find in there. You can go to a certified and trusted jeweler who may guide you in your quest. You can go to a pawnshop or visit an antique/vintage store. You can attend estate sales where you can find estate rings; these are newer rings, not yet antique, but are on their way to becoming so.

And of course, use the internet to get quick access about these always in vogue masterpieces.

When and How to Wear French Cuff Dress Shirts

When and How to Wear French Cuff Dress Shirts


Just like any thing worth its salt, truly approved things never go out of style. The french cuff dress shirt is one of these items that seem to have a staying power far beyond just a fashion trend.

Worn for over a hundred years, the french cuffs were a primary way to dress up allowing males to don ornate jewelry type cuff links (Think the founding fathers and old time royalty, with the complicated woven coats and frilly shirts). As fashions trend to a simpler look french cuffs became an understated way for men to show a diminutive flair.

It is one of those things in men's fashion that can transcend the generation gap. Its a first-rate and elegant look when worn by your grandfather, but put it on with a slimmer fit and some vintage cuff links and it becomes the look of many of the younger hipsters. Using a french cuff dress shirt is all about the occasion.

Always remember that is just an accessory and part of the outfit, it should not be the focus.

A french cuff dress shirt for a company meeting:
Think the first-rate power suit look. Gordon Gecko. Thomas Crown. The look tarts with finely cut off the rack or custom suits Trim but not slim, it should be dark in the Navy or Gray house but not black. For the shirt Stick with solid colors whether french blue, or a strong crisp white, in a level finish. Wear a primary square french cuff, with very understated cuff links in sterling silver or rose gold, you want the links to compliment you not speak for you. Make sure that what ever metal you select that your belt buckle and watch matches it as well.

A french cuff dress shirt for a formal affair:
For a Tux the shirt should be near flawless. Look for a fit that is trim and tucks in well, preferably with a wing collar and most importantly tie your own bow tie. Look for  a french cuff with the primary square shape but a forward positioned link hole. This allows the link to show past the jacket sleeve when you raise your toast. The links should be an heirloom link, made out of a costly metal, elegant, vintage if you have it.

A french cuff shirt for a night out:
Many population are under the false impression that a french cuff shirt is only for dressing up. This is just so not true. A great look is the unbuttoned french cuff, made beloved by Brad Pitts Rusty Ryan character in the "Oceans" series. To get this look, have your tailor shorten your sleeves by about 1.25". This allows you to wear the cuffs unfolded with no links and still have the right whole peeking past your jacket sleeves. Wear it with a light colored suit or a light weight sport coat with no tie. The look is about letting loose, but with the right tailoring so it doesn't look sloppy.
