The most effective choice in selecting the best engagement ring.

Choosing a gauge size

The gauge size is an important aspect of the ring design. The ring design does not only involve the beauty of looking at it. The ring design also involves the aspects of its comfortability and how beautiful it is when worn. A good ring design should perfectly fit and complement the finger or hands in general of the wearer. Aside from its stand-alone beauty, it should also look gorgeous and make the finger look more gorgeous when it is worn. This means that there is an appropriate gauge size for every finger size, dimension, shape, and even skin color.

Choosing the style

The ring style and design are always subjective. It could be objective in any case if your want to put some theme on your proposal. When choosing the design, you can go for which design really suits her, which design greatly represents your magical feeling towards her, or which design greatly symbolizes how you know and see her personality. If a man can only customize once in his lifetime, why not make it the most fulfilling it can be?

Hence, it could also be your budget. Whether you have an enormous budget or not, we have a vast collection that you could still choose from and get that dreamy engagement ring for your future bride.

Budgeting

You do not need to buy the most expensive diamond engagement ring. What you need is the ring that flickers the most right through your eyes and heart. It is also important to decide on the payment method of your purchase. Make sure the pricing is something that is practical for you. Moreover, it is still more important to think about your priority expenses such as basic needs and commodities for
your daily living. Engagement ring prices that you can purchase should not go higher than the three- quarters of your monthly income

The Difference Between Fashion and Fine Jewellery?

The Difference Between Fashion and Fine Jewellery?

There is a very big difference between fashion and fine jewellery that everybody will be able to tell and that is the price tag. Furthermore, it is the materials that are also different from these two types of jewellery.

You don’t need to be a jewellery expert to be able to tell these two differences. The materials also have an impact on the price. As you can imagine, if fake gold is being used instead of real gold, that jewellery piece is going to be much cheaper.

What Is Fashion Jewellery?

Fashion jewellery can also be known as costume jewellery. As mentioned in the introduction, the materials that are used for fashion jewellery are much different compared to fine jewellery. Nine times out of ten, you will be spending a lot more money on fine jewellery compared to fashion jewellery.

Common materials that are used for fashion jewellery are brass, copper and aluminium. These metals will tend to tarnish easily as well as be much weaker than fine jewellery. If you are not bothered by your jewellery damaging easily, this will be more appropriate for you.

For women, fashion jewellery will be more appropriate for your night out dresses and other evening wear that you may be wearing. For men, fashion jewellery will be more appropriate if it just complements your going out outfit.

Fashion jewellery is also made of textiles, beads or other leather products. The cheaper materials will often be coated with either silver or gold to give it more of a valuable look. Modern fashion jewellery will also consist of fake gemstone or Swarovski crystals to also make it more valuable. This will be much cheaper than those fine jewellery pieces although they will be much weaker.

Many jewellery enthusiasts suggest that there should be another category in the middle of these two. The jewellery types that will be in this category are gold vermeil, gold-plated or they can also be filled with gold. If you are not sure what these types of jewellery are, we will describe them for you so you can have a better understanding.

Gold Vermeil

Gold vermeil is similar to gold plated, there is only a minor difference between the two types of jewellery. Gold vermeil has a layer over the top of silver which would be exactly 2.5 microns. Gold plated is any measurement of the gold layer over the piece of jewellery. Gold vermeil has become increasingly popular in recent years and also adds value to jewellery.

Gold Plated

Gold plating is usually a thin layer on top of the jewellery. The metal that would usually be used will either be copper, aluminium, brass or other materials that are often used for fashion jewellery. The process for making gold plated jewellery is done by adding a thin layer to the other metal before using an electric current to bind the two together.

Gold-Filled Jewellery

Gold-filled jewellery is much better quality than gold plated jewellery. There is a chance of gold-plated jewellery to rub off however that is the opposite with gold-filled jewellery. Not only will it look better but it will also have much better durability as well. This is one of the more valuable jewellery pieces for fashion jewellery.

Fine Jewellery

Fine jewellery is where you are going to be spending a lot more money. This is something that you will have to heavily consider before purchasing. Furthermore, it is going to be much better quality than fashion jewellery and be a lot more durable.

The standard materials that you will come across with fine jewellery are platinum, silver and gold. Fine jewellery can also consist of expensive gemstones as well that you wouldn’t often see. Some of the gemstones that you would expect to see are diamonds, rubies, garnets and other gemstones.

With fine jewellery, you can expect to be spending a lot more money. This could either be down to the high quality of the jewellery or the brand that you are buying it from. Like clothing, you don’t need to buy from luxury brands just because of the name.

Fine jewellery won’t damage as easily as fashion jewellery. Another thing to mention is that if you damage your fine jewellery piece, you will usually be able to get it repaired at a jewellery store.

To Conclude

When it comes to what you want to buy, you need to remember what you can afford. It is all well and good looking at expensive fine jewellery but you might necessarily need to spend that much. If you are going to be wearing it for a special occasion, you will want to wear fine jewellery.

Watchmaking: Scatola del Tempo celebrates its 33rd anniversary in Geneva
Handmade and excellence: top leather cases and accessories on the market

In 1989, an invention, a premier ever! Had it not been for the ingenuity of Italian collector Sandro Colarieti, it is not sure that the market for rotating winders would have existed. Back to the roots, at the Time to Watches exhibition in Geneva.

Geneva from March 31 to April 03, 2022. Having celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2019 with the return of its iconic Rotor-One, the very first watch winder, and the beginning of a new horological segment, Scatola del Tempo continues to dominate the world of useful and… ultra-luxury accessories.

The craftsmanship of its creations, the organic nobleness of its leathers, and the richness of its woods, go beyond the world of the rotating winder to give a soul to luxurious interiors, to travel, or to transport precious timepieces. An exclusive signature, made of sensual curves, careful sewings, and overstitching, synonymous with excellence, Italian style…

It all began in 1989 when, on the Italian shores of Lake Como, timepiece collector Sandro Colarietti attracted the attention with his find of then-Patek Philippe president Philippe Stern. The 500 units ordered were the beginning of an extraordinary entrepreneurial adventure, one that epitomizes new needs. There was a before and an after! It was the beginning of an era that transformed the Scatola del Tempo
label into a truly global prestige brand with a noble mission: to contribute to the health, maintenance, and protection of valuable timepieces.

Scatola des Tempo, from Rotor-One to the craziest storage furniture A signature synonymous with Italian excellence and universal aesthetic standards, Scatola del Tempo now uses Swiss-made SwissKubiK engineering in all its winders, combining the best of both worlds. It also has a mastery of the ultimate in made-to-measure. Since it successfully ventured into the territory of storage furniture, pouches, or travel cases, it designs and manufactures the most stunning accessories.

Collectors joined by design lovers

Every watch enthusiast has at least one model of the Scatola del Tempo brand in his cupboards, trunk, or closet, and if possible its famous Rotor-One. Collectors, connoisseurs? Sandro Colarieti, founder of the Scatola del Tempo brand was one of them. He was one of those enthusiasts for whom the care given to mechanical watches sometimes went beyond mental propriety! Thanks to him, aficionados and true mechanical watches enthusiasts have made the Rotor-One the absolute reference since its arrival on the market. A reference
recommended nowadays by the most prestigious watchmaking brands. An ultimate standard that also fits seamlessly into the heart
of high-end private interiors.

These watches that should never stop

In the world of mechanical watches, there are those timepieces that ought never to stop, either because their calendar complications would transform their time settings into real headaches, or because their automatic winding mechanism increases their life span if it is kept in motion when the piece is momentarily out of use. These timepieces, which require special attention and care, are transcended by Scatola del Tempo’s aesthetic enhancements, both at home and
when traveling.

Tips For Taking Your Jewellery Collection on Holiday!

Tips For Taking Your Jewellery Collection on Holiday!

Taking your jewellery collection on holiday can help to make sure every outfit is complete, however, you do need to be careful when it comes to how you pack and store your jewellery when you are away. So, we are here to introduce a few simple tips to keep your jewellery safe whilst you are on holiday!

Keep It In Your Hand Luggage

The first tip we have is to keep your jewellery with you in your hand luggage. Firstly, check-in bags often get lost, so if you have sentimental or expensive jewellery, it is particularly important to keep them with you. Although lost baggage is often returned to the owner, this isn’t always the case, so it is best to keep it with you.

Also, when you check in your jewellery, it will go into the hold which can reach very low temperatures when you are flying. When a piece of jewellery is too hot or cold, it can cause damage to gemstones, particularly if you have more delicate jewellery.

All in all, having jewellery in your hand luggage will keep it in the best condition possible and you can also rest in the knowledge that it is safe with you!

Pack Each Piece Individually

Next up, you need to make sure that each piece of jewellery is packed individually in soft pouches. This will make sure that nothing rubs together so none of your jewellery will get tarnished.

If you pack any clothing in your carry-on luggage, such as special pieces of luxury clothing that you didn’t want to check-in, keeping the jewellery in soft pouches is especially important so that nothing gets caught on the clothing that could potentially pull the thread and cause damage.

The best way to pack your jewellery is in a small, travel jewellery box, where each piece can be stored separately and there is no risk of it causing damage to anything else in your hand luggage.

Keep It At Room Temperature

When you arrive at your holiday, you need to make sure that you keep your jewellery at room temperature. As mentioned, if your jewellery is too hot or cold, it can damage settings or gemstones. So, if you are visiting a very hot or cold country, try to keep the room at room temperature.

You also need to make sure that your jewellery is kept in a dry place, as any kind of humidity or moisture can seriously affect fine jewellery. This is why taking a portable jewellery box is great, as it will help to protect the jewellery from the majority of the humidity. You should also keep your jewellery collection in a cupboard or wardrobe when you are away, to make sure that no direct sunlight is shining on it and heating up the jewellery box!

Don’t Wear Your Jewellery With Suncream or in Water

Our last tip is to make sure that you don’t wear your jewellery with suncream or in water. Suncream can easily build up on your jewellery, causing settings or clasps to be gunked up and dirty.

Also, when it comes to water, it can cause jewellery to tarnish and discolour. Pool water contains chlorine that is very damaging and saltwater can cause erosion. For these reasons, it is best to remove jewellery completely during the day to prevent any damage, and then save your wonderful collection for the evenings when it won’t be at risk of damage!
