Gold Parties Help Out Communities
By admin February 22nd, 2010
Hosting a gold party fundraiser or charity event is easy, fun, and a great way to earn serious cash for your special cause. How are gold parties helping out your community? The Hope for Animals Cat Sanctuary in Bellingham, MA is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter run by volunteers that recently raised significant funds by hosting a gold party fundraiser. Members of the community simply brought any of their broken or unwanted gold and silver items, were paid for their items in cash, and had a percentage of all sales donated to Hope for Animals. In Lake Katrine, NY The Community Services Committee of the Ulster County Board of Realtors held a gold party charity event benefitting victims of domestic violence with proceeds being used on emergency housing needs and counseling for women and children at the Family Shelter. One charity attendee stated “This is a great opportunity to get cash for holiday bills, winter fuel or taxes, while also helping an important cause at a time of real need.”
If you’re looking for ways to raise funds for your church or religious center, sports team or club, school, youth group, animal shelter, and more contact us today! We’ll take care of planning the entire event and it won’t cost you a dime.

Diamonds Are No Longer The Hardest Natural Substance On Earth!
By admin February 15th, 2010
While polishing a piece of the Havero meteorite that fell to Earth in Finland in 1971, researchers discovered an intensely rich carbon-loaded spot that could not be smoothed by a diamond containing polishing paste. A closer look at the meteorite revealed two completely new kinds of naturally occurring carbon structures that are harder than diamonds formed within the Earth.
Such “super diamonds” had been predicted to exist decades ago but have never before been found in nature. Researchers found that these “super diamonds” consist of fused graphite sheets similar to artificial diamonds. The discovery will help scientists gain a better understanding of carbon polymorphs and give them material to investigate and possibly synthesize super diamonds.
Will this devalue the worth of your diamonds! Of course not! Diamonds are still beautiful! Just an interesting little tidbit of new information

By admin February 9th, 2010

Carat, Color and Other Things Gold
By admin February 3rd, 2010
If you are looking for a new ring, or considering investing in gold, it can be useful to understand some of the basics around this alluring substance considered the most prized of precious metals for centuries.
While gold is of course available in bars and coins we will focus here on the interesting world of gold jewelry and what gives it its fascinating variations.
In terms of simple monetary value (what pure gold is worth on the market) we need to understand what carats (or karats) are. Gold Karats then lead us directly to color which is part of what gives gold jewelry its great appeal.
The purity of gold is measured in Karats (carats). Pure, 100% gold is 24K(arats). All karat ratings show how many parts of gold are in a particular metallic mix. On jewelry this will be stamped somewhere on the piece. If you see something that says 18k you will know that 18 parts of the mixture is gold and the other 6 parts (to make 24) are of some other metal or combination of metals. (More about what they are later)
Nearly all gold jewelry will be either 9,10, 14 or 18 karats. In the United States 10K is the lowest rating that is considered as ‘real gold.’ The ways you will often see gold jewelry stamped as a rating is as: 18K, 18ct, 18kt, 750. The 750 is basically a percentage, in other words 18K gold is 75% pure (9K is 375 and 14 is 585). It is worth noting that while 18K is more pure, and therefore worth more in straight terms of gold value, it will be slightly softer and therefore easier to damage than 10K.
Pure gold in its natural form is the familiar, and always popular, yellow color. When it comes to jewelry the metals used as alloys. Most shades of yellow gold will use metals such as palladium. Nickel has often been used as an alloy too as it is cheaper than palladium, but is not commonly used now as around 1 in 8 people have an allergic reaction to it. If you should develop a rash from your gold jewelry you can be sure it contains nickel.
To make white gold other white alloys such as palladium and or silver are used. Even with white gold its natural color has a grayish tinge to it so white gold is often plated with rhodium which is both very white and very hard. Rhodium plating will eventually wear off and need to be replaced.
Pink, rose, and Russian red gold gets its color from the addition of copper in the alloy mix. The more copper is used the redder the gold will appear.
Green gold is certainly not as popular as yellow, white or pink, but it made without any copper, just gold and silver. A typical greenish yellow gold would be 75% gold and 25% silver.
Purple gold can be made using gold and aluminum while blue gold is produced by using either indium or iron as an alloy. These golds tend to shatter easily so are not often used in jewelry that is likely to be worn often.
Using laser technology even black gold is now available. The special process results in a very dense black color that is gaining in popularity, particularly when mixed with other gold colors.
Mixes are very popular especially in rings and necklaces. Gold color is always of course a personal choice and does not affect the cost of the gold itself.

Popular Precious Metals
By admin February 1st, 2010
There is no doubt that gold is still considered number one as far as most investors are concerned, and the gold market continues to thrive. In fact, since the great economy crash more and more people are both selling gold and buying gold. While gold continues to be popular for jewelry, and especially wedding rings, other precious metals are gaining, or even overtaking gold, in the popularity stakes. Let us take a look at the main metals used in jewelry today.
Platinum
Platinum has made a huge impact on the jewelry market over the last decade, particularly in men’s wedding rings. Platinum is much harder than gold and so is seen not only as attractive but also more hard wearing. Platinum is also a lot heavier than gold and quite a lot more expensive. Because of its expense many designers choose to incorporate platinum into designs that use gold as well, particularly white gold. The cool whiteness of platinum also makes it a very popular choice in engagement rings as it accentuates the brilliance of diamonds. Where once diamonds and gold seemed the ultimate combination platinum has taken over.
Titanium
Titanium is the hardest metal known to man. It is incredibly tough but also very light. For a long time titanium was used only for things like space technology and for bone replacements and plates in surgery. Now it is finding its place as a choice in jewelry. Like platinum it is a popular choice for men because of its durability and tough image. Many women are also leaning towards titanium because of its lightness. Titanium is naturally a grayish white color but special technologies are also used to produce black titanium as well. While men seem to really like titanium it could be some time for most women to let go of our love for gold jewelry in all its color forms.
Tungsten
This relative newcomer to the jewelry scene again plays on the ‘tough’ aspect. Tungsten looks attractive, is virtually scratch-proof and does not carry as high a price tag as Platinum, Gold, or Titanium. Tungsten carbide jewelry is polished after forging and stays polished. This no-dent, no-scratch, permanent polish is admired for its low-maintenance as much as its looks.
Silver
Many people prefer wearing silver to gold, especially for everyday wear. Traditionally silver is not seen as appropriate for engagement or wedding rings, but is fine for just about any other kind of jewelry, from nose studs to toe rings and everything in between. Just as you would look for a karat stamp on gold jewelry sterling silver will be marked with the numbers 925. Silver can be very attractive, but it does tend to tarnish easily and so needs to be cleaned frequently. Some silver jewelry, especially necklaces, will be electroplated with radium or other metals to keep them looking shiny for longer.
Gold
For many people gold remains the metal of choice when it comes to jewelry, with or without diamonds or other precious stones. Gold jewelry comes in a variety of colors and mixes of colors and an almost unlimited number of designs.
If you can’t make up your mind which precious metals you prefer you could of course always buy chains, and rings that combine one or more of the metals in different colors.
