Which is the best online diamond stores that I get high quality jewelry?|||advantages? you can get better deals than local store but can't see the exact piece until you got it. bluenile, tiffany and kay are the top stores to buy quality diamond items|||There's no subsititude for the real deal - internet stores can't depict how the ring will look, exactly. They might even brighten up the image of the ring online to make it look better than what it is - buying from a physical diamond store also is safer because lots of internet jewlery stores are scams and will steal your money! There's no sub!|||the main advantage are

Can you take a diamond from an engagement ring and have it cut into smaller diamonds for a wedding band?
I have my Grandma's 0.8 carat princess cut diamond from her engagement ring. It's beautiful. I'm wondering if I can have it cut down into smaller diamonds to be part of my wedding band? Is that possible?|||Princess cut diamonds didn't exist in your grandmother's time.
That said, yes, it can be cut down - but it will be very expensive. How about just trading it for the diamond band you want? It's just a rock after all.
OR - keep grandma's diamond and have it set into a lovely drop pendent for your wedding. Get married with a plain gold band. Then start saving for the diamond band you really want. For your 5th wedding anniversary, have a vow-renewal and use the new band as a symbol of your renewed vows.|||Yes but Hon what will happen is you will loose some carat weight/diamond material in the process so do NOT expect to end up with a total of 0.8 cts of smaller diamonds...it could be a far smaller total ct weight you end up with. It would also reduce the market value/appraisal on the stones by quite a bit.
I would leave Grandma's diamond AS IS and incorporate into another piece of jewelry- a pendant or a three stone past, present, and future ring.|||First, the cost of having it appraised for %26amp;/or re-cutting by a professional would negate any financial advantage. Secondly, the value of the stone would drastically diminish.
Three years ago, an old friend remarried and decided to combine multiple stones from various rings she had inherited into one ring for her wedding. What a disaster! Mold has to be specially made, stones didn't fit well and kept having to be secured, etc. A lot of money ($$$$) later, she hates her engagement ring!
Use the stone in another way ..... you'll be glad you did!
Congratulations and good luck|||It's not a good idea to cut an existing diamond. I understand the sentimentality of wanting to include your Grandmother's diamond into something for yourself. BUT, Don't we ladies always want bigger diamonds? I'd suggest having the diamond set separately and wearing it on a chain.|||no
well anythings possible but it wouldn't make sense to destroy a large diamond into smaller diamonds.
edit: wait a minute.... they didn't have princess cut until a few years ago. are you sure that's not an asscher or an old mine cut? highly valuable -don't cut old stones.|||Garnet Glitter is right. Really, it doesnt make much sense. You could have that diamond set on a pendant for a necklace or with other gems on a broach. And that way, you would create a family heirloom that you can pass down to a younger generation.|||It's possible, but you'd end up with tiny diamonds of less value and attractiveness.
If the diamond is beautiful, leave it alone. As someone else suggested, you could have it set into a pendant.|||i am confused

How do you cut a diamond, what tools do you use?
After the diamond is cut, how do you shape it to the various designs? ( I cannot find the appropriate category to list my inquiry.|||A jeweler/gemologist uses natural fracture planes in the mineral created by its atomic structure (crystal lattice).
These professionals use very basic tools - a metal hammer that knocks a face off of the crystal. When the man who was given the largest diamond in the world finally decided where to make his first cut (after almost two years of simply studying the raw diamond), he just used a metal hammer.
Naturally, there are new methods available, from direct diamond cutting with a special saw to using a laser to cut facets. But the hammer remains the best method, because it gives the natural luster and shape to the gemstone.
Jewelers will use a very fine-grit polishing wheel to finish off the new facet.|||Hi,

What are some good Grass or electric type pokemon on pokemon diamond?
Ive been playing pokemon diamond and have got my pokemon up to about level 35 and i have suddenly realized i don't have a electric or grass type pokemon. I don't particularly want to get a pokemon at about level 5 and raise it 30 levels. What are some good grass or electric type pokemon i can find around this level?|||Well I have both Pokemon Platinum and Pokemon Diamond. In Diamond I used a Luxray, Unfortunately, Luxray cannot be found in the wild, you have to evolve Luxio. Either you can get a Shinx and evolve it into Luxio, or just get a Luxio. Luxio can be found at Fuego Ironworks. It is north of Floaroma Town near Eterna Forest. It can be reached by surfing west on the stream on Route 205, and then north past Floaroma Town. It is located just outside of Fuego Ironworks, in the wild grass, but is uncommon. Luxray has high attack and special attack. Luxio evolves at Level 30.
I also got a Roserade for my Platinum Game. Roselia evolves by means of a Shiny Stone. Roselia can be found in Routes 208, 209, 210, 212, 221, 224, 229, and 230, Trophy Garden, and the Great Marsh, and is common. Roserade has high special attack and special defense.
Unfortunately these Pokemon will not be around your level. The level you want is a bit too much, except perhaps for Pokemon in Victory Road, so you'll still have to train them.
Hope I helped!|||There is no real way to get a good electric or grass type without leveling it up a bit. Besides, if you do, they'll be stronger then those you just caught in the wild. A good electric type is Shinx. It's a low-level, but it becomes powerful when it evolves into Luxio, and eventually Luxray. For a grass type, try finding a Roselia somewhere. It's evoled form, Roserade, is pretty good it terms of overall attack power. Roselia evolves into Roserade through the use of a Light Stone. THere are precious few stones like this one in the game, do think carefully before you use it!|||. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ________

What will happend if a diamond is heated at a temparature of 1200c?
what will happend after heated the diamond?|||Diamonds which had not been heated above about 1,200掳 C gave diamond diffraction patterns only, those which had been heated to 2,000掳 C gave graphite patterns only, and those which had been heated to about 1,600掳 C. gave both diamond and graphite patterns and also some extra spots not due to either diamond or graphite.|||we all know that diamond is a carbon compound. so if any carbon compound is heated beyond its melting point, it turns to pure carbon, just like the ashes left behind, after burning paper
Are we Indians taking steps to get back the prestigious Kohinoor diamond embedded in the British crown?
The above said diamond is a property of India. We should try to get back that priceless piece as we are not holding any such thing belonging to other countries.|||No, it is not Indian property.
It is sometimes claimed that it was the property of the Sikh nation. This is untrue. It was the property of A Sikh - Ranjit Singh - and briefly the property of his alleged son Daleep (his paternity was doubtful to say the least).
The diamond was handed over to the Britsh as part of the treaty that ended the First Sikh War - one of the few wars in India that the British neither started nor provoked.
And where did Ranjit get it? From Afghanistan. He intervened in the civil war in that country as three brothers contended for the throne. As part of his "rightful" share of the booty, he seized the Koh-i-noor by force.
So - if the British seizure of the Koh-i-noor is invalid as if formed part of the spoils of war, so the Sikh claim is also invalid FOR EXACTLY THE SAME REASON.
So; the diamond rightly belongs to the Afghans? Well, no. It had been there three generations, but was stolen from Persia by a man who set himself up as King of the Afghans.
So; it belongs in Persia? Well, no. Before then it had been in the Deccan.
The Koh-i-noor has a long and bloody history. It was seized by Babur the Mongol after the battle of Panipat in 1527. Before that it was seized by Aladdin when he overthrew the Rajah of Malwah in 1304. Yes, I did say Aladdin - though more properly his name was Allah-ud-din.
And so on.
Admittedly it was mined in the Golconda: but then there's been a lot of gold mined in South Africa and it doesn't all belong there.
For the last hundred and fifty years the Koh-i-noor has been in London. In that time no blood has been spilled over it, and it has been available for anyone who wishes to see it.
Let it stay where it is.|||First let me say that Britain thinks it still owns the world because of some divine right of empire even though their empire now is about the size of my desk. Anyways despite this they still have that arrogant colonial attitude and therefore won't ever think of giving anything back that they stole from all their colonies worldwide.
Secondly, there's a problem with returning this artifact to India, we don't seem to want to accept our own stuff back. When Vijay Mallya tried returning with Tipu Sultan's Sword/Dagger, he had to pay something like 3 times its value in duties and taxes to bring it home. The sad truth is our politicians are not bothered about something like national pride or prestige unless they can make a buck out of it.|||If that's the case, native Americans are owed something fierce. How about all the diamonds stolen from south africa?|||Do they ever give back something|||We most certainly are.|||no
