Among the company’s innovations are the first self-winding watch; the first waterproof watch case; the first wristwatch with a date on the dial; the first watch to show two timezones at once; and most importantly the first watchmakers to earn the coveted chronometer certification for a wristwatch. To date, Rolex still holds the record for the most certified chronometer movements in the category of wristwatches. Another little known fact is that Rolex participated in the development of the original quartz watch movements. Although Rolex has made very few quartz models for its Oyster line, the company’s engineers were instrumental in design and implementation of the technology during the early 1970s.

The first self-winding Rolex watch was offered to the public in 1931, powered by an internal mechanism that used the movement of the wearer’s arm. This not only made watch-winding unnecessary, but eliminated the problem of over-winding a watch and harming its mechanism. Rolex was also the first watch company to create a truly waterproof watch — another milestone from novelty to functional timepiece. Wilsdorf even went so far as to have a specially made Rolex watch attached to the side of the Trieste bathyscaphe, which went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The watch survived and tested as having kept perfect time during its descent and ascent. This was confirmed by a telegram sent to Rolex the following day saying “Am happy to confirm that even at 11,000 meters your watch is as precise as on the surface. Best regards, Jacques Piccard

Rolex has also made a reputation in watches suitable for the extremes of deep-sea diving, aviation and mountain climbing. Early sports models included the Oyster Perpetual Sea Dweller 2000 (in 1971). This watch featured a helium release valve, co-invented with Swiss watchmaker Doxa, to release helium gas build-up during decompression. Another sports model is the GMT Master, originally developed at the request of Pan Am Airways, to assist pilots in transcontinental flights. The Explorer and Explorer II were developed specifically for explorers who would navigate rough terrain — such as the world famous Everest Expeditions.

On the more glamorous side, Ian Fleming’s James Bond character wore a Rolex Oyster Perpetual in the series of spy novels. In the early EON production Bond films, Commander Bond wore a Rolex Submariner. However, for the Bond films starring Pierce Brosnan, James Bond’s standard issue watch is an Omega Seamaster. This is due in part to Omega being open to jointly promote their association with the films producers djbwatches.com.

To find the right cheap body jewelry, purchase them only from reputable stores and outlets. Be sure to read the packaging for the materials used on cheap body jewelry as well as any indication on the quality control measures that have been put in place to ensure that the piece of body jewelry you are about to purchase is something that will not compromise your safety.
The body accessory market is already flooded with fake body jewelry of various designs, make and color. One can easily get the appropriate set of body jewelry for a specific occasion or event. And if you play your cards right, you might be able to pull it off. This fake body jewelry is amazingly believable. Some attaches to the right portion of the skin so well that they won’t come off even if you pull them lightly.

At any rate, materials like sterilized stainless steal can be used which makes for cheap body jewelry as opposed to precious and semi-precious metals like silver and gold. In this case, even if you do not use precious metals and you use cheap body jewelry, you can be assured of continued safety from complications regarding your body piercing.

It may sound like a very tedious and meticulous job to closely inspect cheap body jewelry before purchasing them, but remember that body jewelry becomes a part of your body when you wear it. In this case, it is importance to maintain the proper controls and hygienic practices. This however should not deter you from purchasing cheap body jewelry. Just be more wise in choosing the right cheap body jewelry that fits both your style and budget and you can be assured of a carefree enjoyment of fashion tempered with the right sensibility.

Non-pierced jewelry can either be attached through the use of magnets, springs or by clipping. When using magnets, the body ornament will be equipped with thin magnetic studs which are commonly washable. These backing magnetic studs are placed on the inside of the lip or at the back of the earlobe.
The other piece of the body jewelry is then placed over the area of the magnet on the other side. Because manufacturers of fake body jewelry use strong magnets, the magnetic studs are strong enough to keep body jewelry in place giving the illusion that the lip, ear, noses, etc are pierced.
Another good fake body piercing jewelry design is the use of spring hoops in rings. The springs allow the nose, lip, ear or belly rings to be attached and removed quite easily.
This is a good alternative if you don’t want magnet equipped jewelry on your face. Spring-action rings also cause little or no discomfort at all unlike actual piercing which can cause itchiness or inflammation depending, of course, on the person’s body chemistry.

Diamonds are measured in Carat Weight. One carat weighs 200 milligrams. If a diamond is referred to as four grains, this also means that it is a one carat diamond. The word Carat comes from the word carob. A carob is a bean that grows on a tree in the Mediterranean. In times past, if a diamond weighed the same as a carob bean, it was one carob, or one carat.

However, in the far east, where Carob trees do not grow, rice was used to measure the weight of a diamond. If a diamond weighed as much as four grains of rice, it was four grains – or one carat as we know it to be now. The majority of diamond purchases are for diamonds that are 1/3 of a carat.

Beware when shopping for diamonds that are already set or mounted. If more than one diamond is used in the piece, the tag on the jewelry will give the CTW or Carat Total Weight – it does not tell you the carat weight of each stone in the piece. You need to ask the jeweler for the total carat weight of the largest diamond in the piece to truly understand what you are buying.

Clarity is an important aspect of a diamond, and it is important to know how to grade the clarity of a diamond before you buy one. It is actually quite easy to learn how to grade the clarity of a diamond. There are basically two things that you must understand: Diamonds with visual inclusions and blemishes, and those that are ‘eye clean’ meaning that there are no inclusions or blemishes that can be seen with the naked eye. From there, the clarity of a diamond is further broken down into subcategories.

Many people mistakenly think that diamond clarity refers to how clear it is. This isn’t so. Clarity actually refers to the internal and external imperfections of the diamond. The best diamonds, of course get a grade of FL or IF – Flawless or Internally Flawless – meaning that it is perfect. A grade of I-1, I-2 or I-3 means that the diamond is imperfect, with a grade of I-3 being the worst.

Other grades are VVS1 and VVS2, which means that the diamond is very, very slightly imperfect; VS1 and VS2, meaning the diamond is very slightly imperfect; SI-1 and SI-2, which means that the diamond is slightly imperfect.

When you walk into a jewelry store and see all the diamonds in all of the various settings that are for sale, it is difficult to realize that diamonds are indeed rare. Most people don’t even stop to consider how that diamond came to be sitting in that jeweler’s case! There is quite a bit of work that is done before a diamond is ready to sell to the general public!

For every one million diamonds that are mined, only one will be found that is a quality one caret diamond. In order to find a two caret diamond, about five million diamonds must be mined. More than two hundred tons of ore must be mined to find one small diamond, and even then, more than 80% of the diamonds that are mined are only good for industrial use, such as diamond drill bits.

So, the next time you visit your local jewelry store, ask to see the one carat diamonds. You should look at this diamond with new appreciation – knowing that it truly is one in a million!

Before you start shopping for diamonds, consider dealing with a bonded jeweler. Bonded jewelers sell bonded diamonds, and there are very few bonded jewelers in the world. In fact, out of all of the jeweler’s in the world, only about 5% of them are bonded. Buying a bonded diamond will cost more than buying a non-bonded diamond, but when you look at what you get with the bonded option, you will see that it is well worth the extra expense.

First, bonded diamonds have a buy back policy for the life of the diamond. No matter how long you have had the diamond, you can take it back to the bonded jeweler and sell it back to him or her, for a 100% refund. If a jeweler does not offer a 100% buy back guarantee, for the life of the diamond, then you should take a closer look at the diamond to see what is wrong with it.

Bonded diamonds also have a breakage policy. If the stone breaks or chips, the bonded jeweler will replace it with a new one – one time. No jeweler would ever offer such a policy on any stone that was not 100% natural, so just the offer of such a policy should give you piece of mind concerning the quality of the diamond. Bonded diamonds are natural and untreated.

Bonded diamonds increase in value, with a fixed appreciation rate that is designed to keep up with inflation. This means that a diamond that is worth a certain amount of money today will be worth more in the future, as the price of diamonds continues to rise. This generally does not apply to buy backs, however. It typically applies to trade-ins.

Alternately, by purchasing a bonded diamond, you are protected against the possibility of a market crash. If a market crash occurs, the value of diamonds will drop. However, the bonded jeweler guarantees to refund you the difference between what the diamond is now worth and what you paid for it before the market crash.

It may be difficult to find a bonded jeweler in your area, but if you can, this is who you want to deal with, as opposed to dealing with an un-bonded jeweler. Specifically tell the jeweler that you are only interested in bonded diamonds. You can find a bonded jeweler in your area by using various online resources, or by calling the local jewelry stores.

With all of the potential for scams concerning diamonds, buying diamonds online almost seems unthinkable! However, you actually can purchase diamonds online, without any problems – as long as you are careful.

First, think about your reasons for wanting to purchase the diamond online, as opposed to making a purchase from a local jewelry store. The most common reason is price. Due to low overhead costs, online jewelers and wholesalers are able to offer lower prices. However, you must be careful – sometimes a price that is too low is a sure indication of a scam.

One of the best things about purchasing online is the unlimited selection. When shopping offline, you are limited to the selection in the stores in your general area. Online, there are no limits. But again, you must use a great deal of care and consideration before handing your money over to someone that you cannot see and have never met!

Before shopping, learn as much as you can about diamonds – especially cut, color, clarity and carat weights. When you are knowledgeable about diamonds, it will be harder for a con artist to rip you off. Once you know more about diamonds, you will be ready to start shopping.

Take your time. Don’t purchase the first diamond that you see that interests you. Instead, look for similar diamonds for sale. Do some comparison shopping to find the lowest prices. Once you have found the lowest price, start doing your investigation. You know about diamonds, you’ve found a diamond that you love, and you’ve found the lowest price – but you are still quite a ways away from actually purchasing that diamond!

Ask about the seller’s credentials, such as professional jewelry associations that they belong to. View and print the seller’s return, refund, and upgrade policies. Also inquire about additional services, such as settings and mountings, sizing, and free shipping. Do a search for customer reviews on this particular company around the Internet. Also check with the BBB Online to see if there have been any complaints.

Ask for a diamond grading report from an independent laboratory such as GIA, HRD, EGL or AGS. You should see this before making a purchase. Finally, use a reputable escrow service for high dollar diamonds – preferably one that will have the diamond appraised while it is in their possession. The seller sends the diamond to the escrow service, and you send the money to pay for the diamond to the escrow service. The escrow service has the diamond appraised, sends the diamond to you, and sends the money to the seller. This is the surest way to protect yourself…again, make sure that you use a reputable escrow service!

All the people on this planet and all the things in the entire universe are subjects to the laws of physics. All kinds of unseen forces affect us constantly, like gravity or air pressure and other things we can’t see. As we go on with our daily lives we cannot escape them no matter how hard we try.

However, physics and math go hand in hand and the first cannot exist without the second. They don’t call math the universal language for nothing. One of the most interesting and intriguing aspects of mathematics is geometry. Shapes, angles, perimeters, surfaces and everything studied in this field can be found in the surrounding environment.

People in ancient times have shown a keen interest in geometry. A lot of their representations and designs displayed certain shapes that they considered to be symbols of the origin of all things. This part of their beliefs has been depicted as sacred geometry.

All the basic patterns comprised in the sacred geometry were attributed sacred value because if one sought to study their nature and relationship, that person started on a path to gaining some insight on the scientific and mystical laws of the universe.

Some of the usual patterns used in sacred geometry are the Flower of Life, the Seed of Life, the Tree of Life, and others. As you can see most of them have the word ‘life’ in their names which makes reference to the origins of life. Other symbols that can be included in this belief system do not necessarily have significance related to the birth of life, but to other things on a larger scale.

One of these symbols is the Golden Spiral. This spiral has a very close relationship with the mathematical constant phi, also called the golden ratio or the Golden mean, but also with other shapes like the Fibonacci spiral, with which it is commonly confused.

Obtaining a spiral is easy, you just start and a point and go further and further with a rotating line. However, for a normal spiral to become a Golden Spiral, after each quarter turn, the line has to be further from the origin by a factor of phi.

The significance of phi is considered by many greater than that of pi. Plato considered the first to be ‘the key to the physics of the cosmos’. Since we are on the topic of cosmos, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is shaped as a Golden Spiral.

Other representations of the Golden Spiral can be found on our planet as well. For instance, the seeds on the head of a sunflower are positioned according to this pattern. Another example is the Nautilus shell, which grows in from of a Golden Spiral.

All the other symbols of sacred geometry can be found in nature. Many cultural or religious values have been attributed to each, and every symbol has been transposed into a piece of jewelry that can improve the life of the wearer. One website that offers this type of jewelry can be found at the address ka-gold-jewelry.com.

About the Author:
Sacred geometry is one of the most well founded human beliefs ever. People today still believe that some symbols are sacred and very powerful. If you interested in improving your life with a jewelry representation of a Golden Spiral or any other sacred pattern, all you need to do is visit the website mentioned afore and enjoy the effects.

March 17, 2008 — BeyondDropship.com, a trademark of JewelrySprite.com, offers a new form of “franchise” for the internet world. “Sure it is not legally a franchise but it has all components that a franchise offers without the legal hassle while still providing all of the services” says BeyondDropship.com CEO Rey Tamayo. BeyondDropship.com offers more than most websites, and with its jewelry turnkey website operation it acts like a franchise without being legally binding as a franchise. It is a new type of business known as an “Internet Franchise,” which provides the operators franchisees with maximum flexibility, branding, and moneymaking options as a real franchise would.
Like Burger King, McDonalds, and KFC selling their products to their franchisees; BeyondDropship.com offers a site loaded with jewelry (which the operator can choose to sell or they can sell completely different products) and free drop shipping services so that all the buyer of the business opportunity has to do is market their website and take the orders. Aside from some customer support that the buyer may need to do when there are questions with the orders, JewelrySprite.com, the parent company and the one selling the silver jewelry, takes care of all of the post order issues. Because Jewelrysprite.com uses blind dropshipping, the end consumer will never be contacted and will have no knowledge that another site is even involved in the ordering process. Two main differences from a traditional franchise is that the “franchisees” do not have a common brand and have build their own brand but the traditional supports that a franchiser offers are there without the legal implications. The other major difference is the opportunity is free to get started as the website is free, it just cost for hosting/leasing fee as any franchise charges these fees on a regular basis.

About JewelrySprite.com
BeyondDropship.com is a fully owned division of JewelrySprite.com which is designed by Webtron (http://webtron.net) a leading web design company in Miami, Florida. It is the first fully integrated wholesale and retail business to business to consumer (B2B2C) source of fine jewelry products on the Internet. With its innovations in the internet business opportunity model BeyondDropship.com offers turnkey jewelry solutions that act similar to a Franchise opportunity without being one and eliminates the legal hassles while still offering the same level of support to its customers.
JewelrySprite.com carries fine and fashion jewelry made in various parts of the world in silver, brass, and base metal as well as the finer Gold and Platinum and Steel, and Sterling wholesale silver jewelry at an affordable price. We primarily sell wholesale and offer free blind dropshing worldwide for most of our customers!

One more advantage over a traditional franchise is that the business is simple and can be ran from home part-time; Nelly Hernandez who runs NellySparkles.com says “All I have to do is market my site and when I get orders I transfer them from my website to JewelrySprite.com with just three clicks. They do the rest unless there is a question about the order, then they write to me and I write to my customer so my customer never knows they exist and I brand myself only”. Mrs. Hernandez goes on to say “I have all the security and comfort of a franchise business without any legal implications or the overhead of managing the franchise brand itself; but I get to brand myself and as with a franchise the site provides many marketing tools for me to use so that I do not have to work hard to do most marketing tasks on the internet”.
Beyond just providing the turnkey jewelry business, BeyondDropship.com offers any merchant the ability to use the site to sell any conceivable type of product, as marketing jewelry is not required. Merchants can put up to 4000 of their own products items on the site. Businesses looking for an affordable way to run their internet business turn to BeyondDropship.com because the site offers over twelve (12) marketing tools not commonly provided by other site building websites. Business owners can focus on business operations while BeyondDropship.com tools such as datafeed builders not only make it easy to market their site but also save them money. Such sophisticated marketing tools created by a third party or a programmer cost a great deal of money to make, but they are free to all BeyondDropship.com customers.
