A new year, and time to think about diamond jewellery. Perhaps purchasing expensive jewellery isn't for everyone at the minute - certainly not for me. But I'm not looking for expensive jewellery - just good quality, reasonably priced diamond jewellery. With the new year now firmly underway, and with things looking more positive generally, I know a lot of people are starting to consider the benefits of good quality, beautiful jewellery such as diamond necklaces or diamond earrings.
I can remember not that long ago being able to pick up some beautiful diamond earrings or a diamond brooch for my wife and only look very briefly at the price tag. Buying diamond jewellery was simply one of those things I did when it came to birthdays and anniversaries. Such times have been but memories lately, but with the new year, it may well be time for us to think again about looking for sensibly priced diamond jewellery.
Although it can sometimes seem a little extravagant buying good quality jewellery, it's really not so much a purchase as an investment. After all, those diamonds have been around for a few million years, and good quality diamond jewellery holds its price very well. In fact, over the past couple of years many people have been cashing in on their investments. If the diamonds are good quality, and the price is right, then buying diamond jewellery now could well be a smart move.
Quite why girls and women love diamonds so much is unclear. It could be the fact that diamonds are so old, so magical and so mysterious - having been formed in the bowels of the earth before humans had even climbed down from the trees. They represent longevity and durability - excellent messages to convey when declaring affection, love or romance.
I made my mind up to purchase an item of diamond jewellery for my wife - perhaps a set of earrings, maybe a necklace. I wasn't completely sure - just as long as it was beautiful, elegant and said just the right thing. But then a thought occurred to me - why not have a look online, rather than just heading to the high street as in the past?
The benefits which online shopping have introduced are many, from a greater range to added convenience and privacy, as well as much lower prices. Because online jewellers don't have the overheads that the high street shops do, they can offer some credit crunching deals. But what I like about shopping for jewellery online is that you can look at the complete range if you want. Unlike in the high street shops you're not holding anybody up by looking at almost every item available, meaning that you can really choose the best and most appropriate diamond jewellery.
After spending quite a while browsing for online jewellers I found myself spending a considerable time looking through the huge range of diamond jewellery on offer by Lloyds Family Jewellers. Based in the UK they don't have a high street presence, instead trading entirely online, with direct supply links from the manufacturer. I found stunning designer diamond jewellery at up to 80% off the equivalent ranges in the high street, meaning that I could afford to buy more, and better, without breaking the bank.
I enjoyed spending quite a long time browsing the various items of diamond jewellery on their website. I chose a beautiful diamond ring for my wife, and I also chose a diamond bracelet for my daughter. I was offered the choice of paying by debit or credit card, by telephone, or using PayPal. I used PayPal as this is my preferred way of making secure payments online, and just 3 days later the items arrived. Now I just need to keep a straight face when they tell me I shouldn't have spent so much on them!
