Moissanite or Diamond? Moissanite, also known as simulated diamond, is created by silicon carbide to imitate the same characteristic of diamond. Diamond is a form of carbon that is arranged in a crystalline structure. Moissanite shows brilliance and rainbow flashes while diamond shows three types of flashes; brilliance, dispersion and scintillation (surface sparkle) which makes it look extra shimmering. Natural moissanites are extremely rare so most of them are synthetic and have no flaws on the market. For investment purposes, choosing diamonds will be a wise option since diamonds have higher market value than moissanite.

Why did ancient people bury jewelry with dead people inside a coffin? In ancient Egypt, they believed that buried objects could be used and enjoyed in their next life. At the same time, it is a tradition of burying jewellery, fine clothes and objects with the dead emperors in the ancient China dynasty. They were a symbol of status and wealth back then, and they still are to this day. It is not only until recently jewellery is commonly bought and kept as an investment. This trend is on the rise thanks to their affordability; any regular person can own simple jewellery these days.

Do you know ear piercing started by men?! This tradition was discovered about 5,000 years ago from the oldest mummy named Ötzi the Iceman. Some believed that the evil spirits possessed humans through the ears, so the evil spirits would leave if the earlobes were pierced. In the 15th century of the English Renaissance, ear piercing became trendy among gentlemen. In the 1800s, the earrings that required piercing were replaced by clip-on earrings. By the early 1970s, ear piercing was common among women and the fashion earring commercial market rapidly grew until now. For online consultation, feel free to contact us.
