The 4 C’s of Diamond Buying
Whilst choosing a diamond is a very personal decision, the following points can help you know what to look for when selecting a quality diamond
The 4 Cs: Carat, Clarity, Colour, Cut.
Carat - Size does matter! A diamonds weight is measured in carats. One carat is divided into 100 points, so a diamond of 0.30 carats, is 30 points. Carat is the easiest of the Cs to determine, but 2 diamonds of the same carat weight can be of very different values depending on the other 3 Cs. A rough carat weight can be determined by measuring a stone, if it is already set in a piece of jewellery and can't be weighed. A round diamond measuring 5.2mm in diameter will be approximately 50 points, or half a carat, and a diamond with a diameter of 6.5mm, will be approximately 1 carat; depending on the cut and depth of the stone. One carat = 0.2 grams.
Clarity - The clarity of a diamond refers to the tiny marks inside the stone which are known as inclusions. Most diamonds contain these inclusions, although often they are so small as to be invisible to the naked eye. Although they are so tiny, the fewer and smaller they are, the less they will interfere with the passage of light through the stone, allowing the diamond more sparkle. To determine the clarity of a diamond, it is examined under I0 time’s magnification by a trained eye. The inclusions are graded on a scale from IF, being internally flawless, to P3, being large and /or numerous inclusions visible to the naked eye.
Colour - Diamonds come in a range of natural colours, from totally colourless, through the yellow spectrum to brown, with rare instances of green, such as the Dresden diamond, blue, like the Hope diamond, and even red, purple, and black diamonds. The most common diamonds used in jewellery are white to pale yellow, or champagne. These colours are graded by letters of the alphabet, with D being very fine white, M being weakly yellow, and S, yellow. Colour is a very personal choice, however the whiter the diamond, the higher the value.
Cut - The cut does not refer to the shape of the diamond, but the arrangement of facets. A round shaped diamond could be old cut, single cut, or brilliant cut. A well cut diamond will have more sparkle than a badly cut diamond, as, being cut to the right proportions, the diamond will reflect back more light. Don't be too concerned about knowing the type of cut a diamond has, just make sure when you hold it up to the light, it sparkles.
I hope this report helps you in choosing a diamond. No matter what your budget, there is a diamond out there for you, and at Golden Link Jewellers, we can provide a variety of diamonds for your approval, when making your own personal piece of jewellery.

Stardust Collection Watch Care Your timepiece is a precision built instrument in the form of a watch. It is normally worn on the wrist, where it can be subject to damage or abuse, often without you realising it. Take care of it and it will continue to serve you faithfully.
Always clean off dirt, dust or perspiration, and wipe dry as soon as possible if a timepiece becomes wet. Regular cleaning of resin straps to remove skin salts or chlorine from swimming pools will extend its life and soft feel. Some watch models are water resistant to varying degrees while others are not. The Term 'Water Resistant' With the term "water resistant", please bear in mind that the degree of "resistancy" relates to pressure, measured in a static condition, at a given depth under water. But remember, the faster an object is moved in or against water, the greater the pressure. For that reason a watch that may be water resistant to 30 metres (approx 100ft) may leak if exposed to water coming forcefully from a tap, or worn whilst vigorously swimming, or jumping into water or diving, as the increased pressure may exceed the designed static resistancy. N.B. modern power showers can run up to 3 bar pressure. This is equal to 30 metres depth! Handling of Non-Water Resistant Watches If your watch is not water resistant (see back of the case or dial to determine this) protect or remove your watch when washing your hands, working or playing around water or walking in the rain. Regular hot showers cause the gaskets to distort, dry out grease and prematurely age. Moisture ingress into your watches circuit boards is impossible to remove 100% so can cause electrical shorts in the future, even if a service has been carried out. Handling of Water Resistant Watches Although water-resistant watches are warranted, steps should be taken to avoid damage that results from mishandling:
• Do not operate the crown or push-button in the water or while the watch is wet. Tighten screw lock crown completely.
• Should the watch become immersed in water, dry it off immediately. If the watch comes in contact with salt water, be sure to rinse it thoroughly in warm fresh water to remove any trace of salt.
• If a watch is wet from cleaning or by accident, never store it in a closed container. It should be dried immediately or taken to a watchmaker or jeweller if moisture is inside the case to prevent damage from rust.
• Parts such as the crown, packing and other water-resistant materials should be replaced every year or two to ensure water resistance. Care for Metal Bracelets To extend the life and maintain the good appearance of the metal watch bracelet, the following recommendations are given:
• Be aware that since the watch and bracelet is worn next to the skin, it collects dust and perspiration and becomes soiled if not cleaned regularly. This is particularly true of the inner parts of the links or mesh of the bracelet.
• Soil and rust, when present in a bracelet, are dissolved by perspiration and can cause staining of cuffs and irritation of the skin in some instances.
• Heavy perspiration should be wiped off the watch and bracelet with a soft dry cloth. The bracelet should be cleaned occasionally by using an old toothbrush and warm soapy water after which the soap is thoroughly rinsed with clear water and the bracelet dried completely. The foregoing manner of cleaning should not be done if the watch is not water-
resistant but should instead be done by your jeweller. Care for Leather Straps • Heavy perspiration, if not removed from a leather strap, can wash out the natural oils and cause the leather to become dry and deteriorate. Any moisture should be blotted with a soft dry cloth or paper towel and the strap allowed to dry naturally.
• Salt residue & soil can be removed from the leather by cleaning with a dampened soft cloth and mild soap or saddle soap.
• Occasionally, the inside surface of the strap should be cleaned by using a soft cloth dampened with alcohol.
• The strap should always be worn a little loosely (one finger space between wrist and strap) to allow air to circulate, causing any moisture to evaporate. Care for Resin Straps Regular cleaning of resin straps to remove skin salts or chlorine from swimming pools will extend its life and soft feel. Care for Rubber Straps • Rubber straps should be washed frequently with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush.
• Thorough cleaning, using the same method, should especially be done after use in salt water.
• Solvents, oils, perspiration, tanning lotion and salt can cause rubber to deteriorate if not removed.

Materials
Gold
Gold is measured in karat weight. 24 karat gold is yellow in colour and is the purest form
you can buy. Because it is very soft, gold is usually mixed with other metals to make it
harder wearing and provide different colours. The karat weight indicates the percentage of
gold in the mixture e.g. 18k gold has 18 parts of gold out of 24 or is 75% pure gold.
Different karat weights generally seen include 18K, 14K or 9K. Unless otherwise stated all
our jewellery is manufactured in 9K yellow, white or rose gold.
Country of Origin: Transvaal, Australia, Canada, PNG
Sterling Silver is a mixture or alloy of silver and other metals, usually copper, to give it strength. It contains at least 92.5% silver. Jewellery made from sterling silver is usually stamped with the word Sterling or .925.
Country of Origin: Norway, Australia, Canada, Chile Tungsten Carbide - a truly masculine metal - harder than nails or steel
Tungsten is one of the hardest metals known to man, and is normally used in the cutting points of masonry drills and cutters, and recently it was discovered that this metal can also be used to make scratch resistant jewellery. The metal has a nice heavy weight and beautiful silver grey lustre. Tungsten means heavy-stone and is derived from the Swedish word tung-sten. Tungsten is extremely hard and is the only metal that can be permanently polished. It is created from a process that blends Tungsten and Carbide powders together at very high temperatures, around 1350 degrees Celcius. This impressively hard metal alloy allows for a completely perfect, scratch proof, polished mirror finish; or where required a permanent textured finish created during its manufacture. The physical properties of Tungsten exhibit a hard and robust metal, with colours ranging through steel-grey to white. Ten reasons why you should choose tungsten jewellery
1. Tungsten is modern and stylish.
2. Tungsten is very affordable.
3. Tungsten is the hardest metal in the world; that makes it tough wearing.
4. Tungsten Carbide is virtually scratch resistant.
5. Tungsten will always keep its lustre; the pieces will never have to be polished.
6. Tungsten does not react to the acids in your body so you won't have an allergic reaction.
7. Tungsten jewellery can only be engraved with diamond tip tools; The engraving will never wear off.
8. Tungsten will never lose its shape or colour.
9. Tungsten is 2-3 times heavier than silver.
10. Tungsten is 10 times harder than 18k gold, 5 times harder than tool steel and 4 times harder than Titanium. Bracelets

Thumb rings have a rich history. The thumb is associated with a person's strength of will. In astrology the thumb is associated with Venus. Thumb rings can be worn by both men and women. In the 1500s and 1600s it is said that thumb rings were worn by soldiers and doctors. In the late 1600s the wedding ring was often worn on the thumb. It was also common centuries ago for women to wear their husbands wedding rings on their thumbs when they left for battle or died. Mongol archers wore thumb rings made out of horn, jade or other precious stones to protect the thumb while drawing the string. We have a selection of sterling silver thumb rings with anchor, heart, cross, wave and tick designs. Lovelinks by Pastiche

Muslims believe if they are good they will be crowned with pearls of incomparable luster and attended by beautiful maidens resembling hidden pearls upon entering the Kingdom of Heaven. English knights wore pearls during battle to protect themselves from harm. In 1919 a method of cultivating pearls was achieved and patented in Japan. Natural pearls are formed when an irritant enters an oyster (mollusk). To protect itself the oyster secretes a fluid which coats the irritant. The coating is known as nacre. With many layers a pearl is formed. Cultured pearls are formed by surgically implanting a mother-of-pearl bead or nuclei which is then coated in nacre by the oyster. They are still real pearls. They have just had help in getting started. Nearly all pearls sold today are cultured pearls.

Wedding Anniversaries
Wedding Anniversaries were originally know by the number of years a couple had been married.
The traditional gift from a husband to his wife on their 1st anniversary was an eternity ring. In medieval times it became popular in central Europe to celebrate the 25th and 50th Anniversaries with the husband crowning his wife with a wreath made of silver or gold. Although this practice has not continued we still use the terms 'Silver' and 'Golden' to describe the 25th and 50th anniversaries respectively. In Biblical times a 50th anniversary was called a jubilee and publicly announced with a trumpet fanfare. 1st Pearl2nd Coral
