There are four major components to consider when buying that coveted diamond tennis bracelet or princess-cut engagement ring. They are known as the Four C's: Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat. Understanding these four diamond characteristics will help you wisely decide on the best diamond for you or your loved one.

Color - The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) rates the body color in white diamonds from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). White is the most popular color when it comes to diamonds, but for those that want to be unique, they are available in yellow, pink, green, blue, orange, even black! However, the best color is really no color at all. Having no color allows the light to pass through the diamond easily, resulting in a vibrant display of rainbow-colored light.

Clarity - To be perfect, a diamond must be free from inclusions, blemishes and other flaws. A clarity grade is determined by the amount of inclusions or blemishes that are in or on the diamond. Inclusions can be other minerals, cracks, feathers or anything trapped inside when the diamond was formed millions of years ago.

Cut -The cut of a diamond references to the diamond's reflective qualities, not the shape. A good cut gives a diamond its brilliance. The angles and finish of any diamond are what determine its ability to handle light, and the price you will pay.

Carat - A carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured. Because large diamonds are found less commonly than small diamonds, the price of a diamond rises exponentially to its size. The carat is the standard unit of weight used for all gemstones. One carat equals .200 grams (or 200 milligrams).

• Datar (Salt Ceremony)
  At the entrance of their new home, the bride’s feet are rinsed by the groom’s parents. A cover is placed over her head as she sprinkles milk in all corners of the house. The bride picks up a handful of salt and places it in the hands of her husband. He passes it back into her hands without spilling any salt. This is done three times.
  
  And so, just as salt blends well and gives taste to food, the bride must also blend and become an integral part of the family.

Care Techniques for Gemstones

It is necessary to clean your gemstone so that it stays bright and beautiful. These tips are the best safeguard for your purchase:

• Put on jewelry, especially cultured pearls, only after you are done with your make-up and hair.
  
• Remove jewelry before heavy yardwork, housecleaning, working on heavy equipment or relaxing in a pool or spa (especially if you are in chlorine regularly).
  
• After removing jewelry, wipe it gently with a soft cloth to remove residues of the day. Store all items in a jewelry case or soft cloth so that they do not touch each other. This avoids the potential of harder gemstones scratching softer ones.
  
• Discuss your potential insurance needs with your jeweler or home insurance agent.
  
• Avoid home cleaning solutions, including home Ultra Sonic, unless you are sure the item is suitable for the solution. Some jewelry can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
  
• At least once a year, ask your jeweler to check the security of your jewelry: are the prongs holding your gemstone secure, is the clasp secure, do the pearls need to be restrung, does the ring still fit securely or does it need to be resized?

Our eyes speak the language of the body and its feelings. Anjana (Kohl) enhances the beauty of the eye and what it has to express. Anjana has been a woman’s favorite for long eras in India. It is used to brighten the eyes and darken the eyelashes by every woman.

The size of the eye is increased by drawing a short, fine pencil mark outwards from the corner of the lids where they join. With a light and gentle hand, taking care to carry the line of shading a trifle beyond the angle of the eyes. Anjana is used to cleanse the eyes and give them a large, almond shape, which is delightful to look at. This is similar to the use of modern eyeliner and mascara that helps in enhancing the shape and size of the eyes and used on the upper and lower eyelids to make it more attractive and beautiful.

The material used for making kohl has a variety of herbs and spices including camphor. The easiest way of preparing kohl at home is by burning a cotton wick soaked in mustard oil and then collecting the smoke that arises in a silver spoon. A silver pencil is then dipped into it and passed along the eyelids and makes them bright, black and large.
