Best Diamonds To Buy

Is it cheaper to buy Engagement Rings in South East Asia than the UK?

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:15:23 +0000

I’m travelling to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia and am in the market for an engagement ring. I’ve heard it could be much cheaper to buy a ring or a diamond to have mounted in one of these countries rather than buying one in the UK. I’ve just no idea where to buy one, how much cheaper they will be and I’m a bit worried being ripped off and buying a fake.

Guns, Germs and Steel Part 1 of 18

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:25:13 +0000

Episode One : Out of Eden (Part 1 of 6) Jared Diamond’s journey of discovery began on the island of Papua New Guinea. There, in 1974, a local named Yali asked Diamond a deceptively simple question: “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo, but we black people had little cargo of our own?” Diamond realized that Yali’s question penetrated the heart of a great mystery of human history — the roots of global inequality. Why were Europeans the ones with all the cargo? Why had they taken over so much of the world, instead of the native people of New Guinea? How did Europeans end up with what Diamond terms the agents of conquest: guns, germs and steel? It was these agents of conquest that allowed 168 Spanish conquistadors to defeat an Imperial Inca army of 80000 in 1532, and set a pattern of European conquest which would continue right up to the present day. Diamond knew that the answer had little to do with ingenuity or individual skill. From his own experience in the jungles of New Guinea, he had observed that native hunter-gatherers were just as intelligent as people of European descent — and far more resourceful. Their lives were tough, and it seemed a terrible paradox of history that these extraordinary people should be the conquered, and not the conquerors. To examine the reasons for European success, Jared realized he had to peel back the layers of history and begin his search at a time of equality — a time when all the peoples of the world lived in …

Can a CNC router equipped with a laser or plasma cutter cleanly cut aluminum diamond plate?

I’d like to cut some designs in aluminum diamond plate and I was curious to know if a CNC router with a laser or plasma torch could do the job. I know a waterjet works pretty well, but the price of the machine is currently not in my budget. Thanks!

I have a gold diamond ring. The diamond doesn't look symmetrically cut. Can it still be a real diamond?

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:20:21 +0000

The stone doesn’t look symmetrically cut. The top of the stone looks like the shape of the moon which is some 4-5 days from full moon. Do the jewelers cut diamonds so loosely or is it possible that the diamond I am wearing is not a real one?

Blood Diamonds Documentary (Part 3-9)

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:27:11 +0000

Blood Diamond: Beyond the Bloodshed Blood Diamonds reveals the history behind conflict diamonds. Diamonds are symbols of wealth, elegance and love around the world. But in several African nations, they have been a means to power, a reason to terrorize millions of innocent civilians, and may have even helped finance some of the worlds most brutal terrorists. The human cost of the illicit global diamond trade is examined in the provocative documentary. Because they are portable, easily concealed, and untraceable, diamonds lend themselves to smuggling and corruption. In several underdeveloped African nations, warlords have used diamonds to help finance wars, while the rest of the world has turned a blind eye. Rebel armies have forced tens of thousands of people to mine diamonds in brutal, dangerous conditions under the threat of death, their pay as paltry as a cup of rice per day. In Sierra Leone, rebels chopped off peoples hands, arms, feet, lips, and ears indiscriminately for years during a civil war financed in part by the trade of illicit diamonds. BLOOD DIAMONDS looks to some of the worlds foremost experts for the facts of the history of the diamond trade, and goes to the heart of the matter, interviewing both the victims and perpetrators of diamond-fueled atrocities in countries like Sierra Leone. One such victim is Usman Conteh. Captured by rebels in Sierra Leones Kono district, Usman was forced to mine diamonds for rebels diamonds the rebels then sold or traded for …
