Jewelry

diamond earring / ring set in should be yellow gold or platinum? what looks elegent, royal & goes on everyday clothing?
I am an indian, having most of my jewellery in yellow gold, but living in USA and not using much of my jewellery.

Really it’s whatever you like most. There is no hard and fast fashion rules anymore. The trendsetters are the people who dress for themselves instead of trying to follow others.

I really like platinum personally. But if you have mostly yellow gold, then maybe it would be best in that s everything mtched together.

Can any one suggest me a better alloy available for 18kt white gold in Indian market for studded jewellery.

There is no legal definition of what constitutes a ‘white’ color in golds. So, you can alloy with anything. Just keep it 75% gold. Copper is not used very much in white gold as it adds it’s own “color.” Usual white gold alloys are made with nickel, palladium, platinum. These metals are strong gold whiteners. Silver and zinc are considered moderate whiteners. And, all the other metals have a weak whitening effect.

How important is the "white" color to you? If you don’t mind some color, a small amount of copper will increase the workability and ductility for making studded jewelry. But if true "white" is required, then alloy with palladium it is more costly but also very ductile.

I am half Indian and half Pakistani. Three years ago, I had the traditional Asian wedding and wore the tradition red lenhga with the dhaputta (shawl) over my head and lots og gold jewellery. A few of my friends are getting married soon, and I want to wear the lehnga again, but I don’t understand how to wear the dhaputta, since I can’t wear it over my head like I did for the wedding and it is pretty heavy with all the gold work on it. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have the similar lehnga..I tuck one end of my dupatta in my lehenga and then bring the other end from the back to the front.Then I fold it just like saree..Its hard to describe..Try to google saree or lehenga and you will lot of pics..

You can even wear around your neck either back to front or front to back..even just put it on one shoulder..there are so many ways

I get angry passing through Javeri Bazars ( gold/silver/gems/jewellery market ) in indian cities. Shops are jam packed with overfed over clothed women mostly.They are all in a buying spree . They have each calender day a special day for them. I do not know where from they get that kind of money . I have a feeling BALCK MONEY resides permanently there with different PAN numbers . It is not very difficult to track them down but who cares.
The only way to tackle this menace is getting religious leaders of all the religions of the world to declare wering of gold, silver , gems and jewels on one’s body is an act punishable by God Almighty.
But why should they do it ? They themselves are the SWISS BANKS for some political outfits .
We need some AVTAR to come and get rid of all gold etc etc from this earth.

Your intention is good but the problem is that mostly the people with good intentions also behave in a similar fashion once they too get that type of money.Answer lies in mass edn, awareness,sending honest people to parliament,increasing number of courts to deliver quick justice,police reforms and so on.

Jewelry isnt the best choice for gold investment because its marked up with overhead and design and craftsmanship from jewelers. There are a bunch of other ways to invest in gold
