What everybody should know about diamond prices?
Diamond prices firstly depend on their weigh. The bigger the diamond the higher price it has. Big brilliants are those the weight of which is more than 1 carat. But together with this fact the price of the diamond 10 carats in weight is one hundred times higher. As a rule auctions sell the diamonds that weigh not less than 6 carats and those with 25 carats have even their own names.
If speaking about a big diamond its price value doesn’t only depend on its weight. The clearness and color of the diamond play a great role. If throwing the diamond into the water nobody will notice it as it’s so transparent and clear. The cheaper diamonds can have various tinges: from yellow to brown ones. The clearness and color of the diamond are classified on the special scale, which is always marked on the jewelry label. For instance diamond characteristics 1/1 means that the precious stone is of the first color and first clearness, therefore of the first-rate. Further, the bigger the numbers the lower quality is the diamond. Diamond cutting also influences on the diamond price. The jewelers can make different diamond shapes when processing them: heart, oval, pear and other shapes. But classic cutting is considered to be the best. 90% of diamonds have it. It is connected with the fact that precious stones with non-standard shape can’t reflect the light fully. On the other hand various diamond cutting looks attractive.
Today diamond prices continue to grow. It is a curious fact that if there was a great price growth of 2 carats diamonds today more and more one can note price rising of more expensive diamonds.
The experts see 5 factors influencing on diamond prices growth:
1) a good demand for diamond jewelry at various markets, except the USA and Japan;
2) the chain of costs: producer-supplier-diamond and jewelry industry consumer;
3) the weakening dollar, a major international diamond market currency;
4) the growth of prices for all the bourse goods and natural resources, a part of this money is invested into the diamond market.;
5) stock market rippling, that make people invest their money in gold, precious metals and precious stones.

Some secrets about gold jewelry cleaning
All the jewellery is very beautiful at the jeweller’s, it is iridescent and looks luxurious. And everybody wants to save its glitter after buying it. Here are some secrets about gold jewelry cleaning
Jewelry cleaning
Put gold jewelry, for example a wedding ring, bracelet or brooch into soapy water and wipe it carefully with a soft brush. One can use a kid tooth brush; it is softer than an adult one. If there are clasps on the jewelry wipe them carefully. But if the jewelry is with corals, turquoise or pearls than this way of cleaning won’t work as soapy water can damage these materials. For example turquoise can become green.
One should better take medical mineral or radon baths taking all the jewelry off. It’s better to take it off also while using alkaline cleaning agents or while whitening the skin with mercuric creams and ointments.
The chain is better to be washed in a bottle, shaking it a little until the dirty sports come off. Than dry it with a towel.
Much dust piles up under the precious stone in the ring. But it is very easy to cope with it. Just wind a piece of cotton wool on the match (or just take a cotton wool stick), moisten it with cologne, glycerin or magnesia and ammonia spirit and wipe the precious stone together with the rim carefully. Don’t clean the precious stone rim with sharp things, it can be damaged.
Besides there are many special mixtures for gold jewelry with precious stones and pearls cleaning and polishing.
Keeping and careful wearing
It’s better to keep the jewelry in a case or a box with soft upholstering inside. It’s not only beautiful, but right. Gold is a soft metal and it is scratched quickly.
Protect the pearl from scratches and keep it separately from other jewelry, wiping it sometimes with a velvet ribbon. It is even recommended to restring pearl beads annually.
Bright light makes precious stones look very gorgeous but don’t take it under the light often. Topaz can fade; pearl can grow turbid and lose its glitter. That’s why don’t let the light penetrate the case with the jewelry to make it more durable.
And the most important recommendation: give your jewelry a rest, permanent wearing is harmful. Your jewelry has your soul particle and it is alive so one couldn’t forget about it.
What Are the Gold Price Changes?
Against a background of the world inflation, durable devaluation of the American dollar and record oil prices growth the cost of gold reached another record level on the world market, which was more than $900 per ounce. And this precious metal prices have increased on 32% in 2007.
Moreover analysts are sure that the USA economy recession will urge the further gold price growth. But the other variant of the events development is also possible, and the analysts add that with a range of some factors a downward tendency can appear.
Such a swift gold market growth was caused by geopolitics and finance instability, which has been dominating at the world markets since august 2007. “As far as credit crisis is a bank crisis as the matter of fact it created perfect conditions to gold prices growthâ€, - supposes the consultation company VM Group analytic Matthew Turner.
Ad interim the USA Fed tried to fight with subprime credits crisis: it reduced the rate on 100 base points less than half a year before to prevent recession. But the Goldman Sachs investment bank analysts are sure that the USA economy won’t manage to avoid recession before it begins to rehabilitate after the crisis, reports Reuters.
The Merrill Lynch economists give more pessimistic prognoses. In their opinion the fact that unemployment level has increased on 0.3% and reached a record of 5% last year indicates that the entire recession has appeared in the USA and it happened in the end of the last year. “But recession is a positive factor for the gold market. The thing is that the USA economic growth slowdown will continue to reduce dollar and that will promote gold prices growth next 6-12 monthsâ€, - says the Merrill Lynch strategist Daniel Haines.
At the moment the situation happened on foreign exchange market is good for gold market. Dollar has sagged to the record low point with respect to euro and Swiss franc. And if Fed lows refinancing rate on 50 base points by the end of the month (as investors predict) it will lead to further American currency sag. In connection with that many experts are sure that gold price will reach a new record – 1000 dollars per ounce in the nearest future. “And even if recession doesn’t begin in the USA, economic indexes will remain rather distant, and that will promote the further gold prices growth “, - says the leading Capital Economics economist Julian Jason.
