Preferred Jewelers understands that buying a diamond is an extremely important decision that can be quite intimidating. Fortunately, the most important elements you need to know are easily remembered because they all begin with the letter C: cut, clarity, color and carat size. We've also included some additional terms, providing a solid footing to begin your diamond-buying experience. What you learn now will go a long way to helping you make the perfect choice. - Included: an I1 clarity diamond will have a visible flaw which can be seen with the unaided eye. If your budget is limited and you can only afford diamonds in the SI3 or I1 clarity, be sure to examine them under 10X magnification yourself before making the purchase. It will help you decide which one to buy. Any reputable jeweler would be happy to show you how to use a magnifier. Tips to help you determine the right carat weight Let's use diamonds and the four Cs as a base of information. This is a perfect place to start because color, cut, clarity and carat are widely known and understood. With diamonds, cut is where it's at. They are meant to sparkle, breaking down light into it's rainbow of colors by sending it through the facets for an ethereal show.  In gems, it's a different story. Cut is important, but gemstones are first assessed by color. Is that ruby a deep, clear, true red? How blue is that sapphire? Inky? Indigo? Transparent but deep and mesmerizing? Assessing the color of a gem must also take into account unusual color zoning, like the ametrine, a beautiful single crystal of quartz with zones of gemstone-quality amethyst and citrine in contact with one another. Star effects, called asteria, can also be present, making for a beautifully unusual ruby or sapphie. In the last two decades there has been a proliferation of certification for gemstones. There are a number of laboratories which grade and provide reports on diamonds. Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the main provider of education services and diamond grading reports. American Gemological Laboratories (AGL) which was sold by "Collector´s Universe" a NASDAQ listed company which specializes in certification of collectables such as coins and stamps. It is now owned by Christopher P. Smith, who was awarded the Antonio C. Bonanno Award for Excellence in Gemology in 2009. Each laboratory has its own methodology to evaluate gemstones. While work continues to standardize analytical methods, interpretations and report wording, you, the consumer, need only know this: your Preferred jeweler will provide you with the best information, the best selections and the best certificates and back their work with a warranty. Savor the beauty of your jewelry and delight in the peace of mind that comes with working with a professional whose business it is to provide you with the best service. A movement in watch-making is the mechanism that measures the passage of time and displays the current time (and possibly other information including date, month and day). Movements may be entirely mechanical, entirely electronic (potentially with no moving parts), or a blend of the two. Most watches today that are intended mainly for timekeeping have electronic movements, with mechanical hands on the face of the watch indicating the time. Electronic movements have few or no moving parts. They use the piezoelectric effect in a tiny quartz crystal to provide a stable time base for a mostly electronic movement. The crystal forms a quartz oscillator which resonates at a specific and highly stable frequency, providing for very accurate timekeeping. This is why electronic watches are often called quartz watches. Most quartz movements are primarily electronic and are geared to drive mechanical hands on the face of the watch  providing a traditional analog display of the time. Electronic watches require electricity as a power source. Some mechanical movements and hybrid electronic-mechanical movements also require electricity. Usually the electricity is provided by a replaceable battery. The first electrically-powered watch, the Hamilton Electric 500, was released in 1957 by the Hamilton Watch Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Watch batteries are specially designed for their purpose. They are very small and provide tiny amounts of power continuously for very long periods which could mean several years or more. In most cases, replacing the battery requires a trip to a watch-repair shop or watch dealer. This is especially true for watches that are designed to be water-resistant, as special tools and procedures are required to ensure that the watch remains water-resistant after battery replacement. Silver-oxide and lithium batteries are popular today. Mercury batteries, formerly quite common, are no longer used for environmental reasons. Less expensive alkaline batteries are also available in the same size as the silver-oxide cells, but generally provide a shorter life. Rechargeable batteries are used in some solar powered watches. Solar powered watches are powered by light. A photovoltaic cell on the face of the watch converts light to electricity which is used to keep the battery or capacitor charged. The movement of the watch draws its power from the rechargeable battery or capacitor. As long as the watch is regularly exposed to fairly strong light, it never needs battery replacement.  Some models, like the Citizen Eco-Drive, need only a few minutes of sunlight to provide weeks of energy.
