Most of the gentlemen require a huge amount of time before they finally decide to propose a lady and an equal amount of time to decide on the engagement ring. So if you are [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] one of those confused guys then here is a complete guide for buying the perfect engagement ring for you. After all an engagement ring [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is not only an extremely expensive item but also something that is going to be a symbol of the most precious relationship of your [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] life forever.
As a general rule engagement rings are made of diamond. But convenience and fashion have long changed this rule. Now you have rings made of all kinds of precious and semi-precious stones too. Though as the saying goes, Diamonds are a girl`s best friends. So let us start our discussion on choosing a diamond ring.
The most important thing that you need to remember while buying a diamond ring is the rule of 4Cs. That means, cut, color, clarity and carat. All factors are equally important though the cut of the diamond matters the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] most. The cut determines the sparkle and brilliance of a diamond and also the shape of it. There are many shapes like the emerald, the marquise, the pear, the oval, the princess, and the heart shape. Have a look at all the shapes before zeroing on one.
Next comes the color. The most precious color is white or colorless. Don`t get too much worried about the clarity of the diamond. Check your diamond with the jeweler`s magnifying glass and you will be able to see the feather like small `inclusions`. The weight and size of diamond is measured by its carat. The average size of an engagement-ring diamond is generally somewhere between half a carat to one carat.
If you are a bit low on the budget then you can go for diamond substitutes like Zircon, topaz, white sapphire and quartz. These are natural minerals [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and can be nearly colorless. Some synthetic substitutes include moissanite and cubic zirconia.
Next the question comes from where you should buy the ring. The traditional convention is to go to a reputable and trusted jeweler and get it from there. But other alternatives could include buying an antique ring from an auction or antique shop. Just make sure that the store you buy from [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] has a good reputation and sell their diamonds with a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] well-known gemological certificate.
Making your purchase on the web is not recommended as you will not be able to view the diamonds in person and thus all the above rules of the four Cs will go waste. But an advantage would be that by visiting several such sites [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you will get a very good idea about the types of rings available, the latest trend and style available in market etc.
All this knowledge about choosing [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and buying the perfect ring are well and good but it can go waste in just a moment if the `special lady` does not like your choice. So subdue your romantic plans of surprising her with a diamond and try [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to include her in the choice making too.
One of the best ways to know what she would like is by taking a cue from the type of jewelers she wears everyday. Whether she likes flashy pieces or elegant and subtle piece is her style. Does she like modern and contemporary jewelry or traditional ones? Choose according to her taste and not your own. Last [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] but not the least it is your engagement ring so make it as individual as you are. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

Green building and green homes are terms that get bandied about pretty liberally these days. Quite often, what passes for green makes strides in one area while backtracking in another. If we're really keen on going green these days, we'll need to look beyond labels to find out if what we're buying will truly benefit the environment. Read on for a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] run-down of the four biggest magnets for the "green home" label and some of the noxious realities that lurk within:
Recycled Materials
Recycled building products may be considered green because they conserve resources, raw materials and turn post consumer or industrial waste into a valuable and useable resource. These benefits can be nullified however if producing the recycled product requires an undue amount of energy consumption, creates pollution or if the final product leeches toxins into the environment. Rubber tiles for instance put old tires to good use giving them green kudos but when used in an enclosed environment they'll leak unhealthy chemicals into the air that are decidedly not green.
Conservation of Natural Resources
Building products that use less material than their predecessors, are rapidly renewable or have a high durability factor make the green list because they conserve natural resources. But like recycled products, products that conserve resources may also have qualities or histories that are notoriously not green. For example MDF board can be made from almost any quality wood including sawmill off-cuts and uses almost 100% of the wood in the final product. The result is that an MDF board makes more complete use of natural resources than a natural wood board. But if it [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] has been pressed with urea formaldehyde, as it typically is, it will off-gas and working with it can make you sick. MDF also has a shorter life span and less water resistance than natural [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] wood products which means it will need to be replaced sooner and require the use of even more resources.
Clean Air
Natural materials that don't pollute the environment or [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] leech toxins are legendary for getting green points and keeping it clean. Wood, stone, slate, marble and plant products, for example, don't require long chains of chemical processing or release cancerous fumes into the lived environment. Natural, minimally processed [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] materials are simply healthier to live with and therefore green. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] These benefits are eliminated, however, if harvesting, extracting or transporting the materials creates pollution, requires a huge amount of resources or depletes a resource faster than it can be renewed.
Energy Efficiency
Products that affect energy consumption and water use on a day to day basis stand to effect the biggest environmental impact of all materials that go into a home. Those who wish to be truly green will make sure that operating their home requires minimum amounts of energy and water. Properly insulated walls, windows and doors minimize the amount of energy required to heat and cool a building [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and therefore have a favorable impact on the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] environment and are fortunately fairly easy to attain. But how will you generate heat and power? Unfortunately, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] most of us will have to opt for some sort of fossil fuel [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] or electric power limiting our "green" energy options [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to those that focus on using as few resources as possible rather than renewable resources like solar power and wind power that don't need to be mined or transported and create no pollution.
Clearly, it's not easy being green. Though making strides toward reducing our impact on the environment by building and buying green homes is clearly one of the best places to start, it's important to educate ourselves if we want to do it right. Green isn't [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] just something we buy, it's a careful balance between conservation, low pollution and sustainability.
