No engagement is complete without the diamond engagement ring. Engagement ring prices can range in price greatly and it is the diamond that makes the engagement ring such an expensive gift. With such an important investment, you should make sure you understand some of the basics principles of buying diamonds.
Professional jewellers use four factors called the 4Cs to purchase diamonds, and you should use the same standards to buy the diamond engagement ring.
Colour - This refers to the degree to which the diamond is colourless. The colour of the diamond has a significant impact on its overall value. You can ask the jeweller to place the diamonds you are interested in order based on colour value. When comparing diamonds for colour, most consumers are not able to detect a difference unless they are at least two or three colour grades apart.
Clarity - Clarity is no less important when it comes to selecting a diamond. An Fl (Flawless) graded diamond shows no inclusions (inclusions = flaws) under 10X magnification. The fewer the imperfections, the rarer and more valuable the diamond.
Cut - This is the angles and proportions of the diamond shape. Cut is also called “make,” the better the cut the more attractive the diamond. Valuing the diamond based on cut can be very subjective.
Carat - Most people compare carat weight to size. Carat weight is the basic measuring unit of diamonds. The larger the diamond the more it weighs.
Whilst they are all beautiful, diamonds can vary greatly in colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight. We hope you’ll find the above information helpful in selecting your diamond engagement ring. Always bear in mind that you should only buy diamond rings from a reputable jeweller.

Hair loss in men is obviously very common and also very accepted, however thinning hair in women is also a very major issue. And of course for women their hair is a very important part of how they present themselves to the world, so if it starts to go it can leave the sufferer feeling very embarrassed by it all. So what is behind it and what can be done about it?:-
The technical term for female hair loss is androgenetic alopecia and figures for women suffering from this are surprisingly high with approximately one in four women suffering from this in one form or another.So are you actually going bald, well the first place to check would be by getting a better understanding of your hair cycle
The hair grows in cycles and it works out that at ninety percent of the hair is growing and ten percent is in the resting phase at any one time, during the resting phase it is perfectly normal for you to shed hair. You can always do a test to see if you are losing more hair than you should be and that is by getting say twenty strands of hair between thumb and forefinger and then slowly but firmly tug them. If half a dozen or more come out then that is a sign you may be losing your hair.
So what causes hair loss in women? Well there can be many factors including things like stress or diet, but probably the biggest one is hormonal.There is a hormone called DHT which is thought to be responsible for hair loss. DHT is caused by an excess of testosterone in the body, for men this is a natural occurrence but for women it is a cause of unbalance. The unbalance occurs because normally the estrogen in a woman controls testosterone but if a woman has just had a child or is menopausal then the estrogen level will be low and this can result in DHT and hair loss.
Is there anything that can be done to stop the hair loss? Of course there are the mainstream routes such as drugs from a physician or transplants, however for a majority of people these days that is not the route they want to take as their can be side effects from drugs and transplants can be very expensive. However I do look at alternative ways on my site which is all about how to prevent hair loss.
