Diamonds are a girl’s bestfriend – and boys too.

Owning diamonds as jewelry, gadget accessory, first class home décor, or simply as a most treasured possession suggests class and a fine way of living. Being the hardest mineral, diamonds are expensive as these natural objects take thousands of years before they form into a sparkling stone.

People who love sparkle definitely love diamonds. Prices of diamonds are steep that even celebrities need to charter a set of diamond jewelry for special occasions. For bigger Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie or Beyonce Knowles, a jeweler can provide them with the finest diamonds for them to wear on the red carpet. With this X-deal, there’s no doubt wearing celebrity diamonds becomes part of the pop culture.

Given that you already have your fist diamond – an engagement ring or a family heirloom – it’s just suitable that you know how to take care of them. Bringing your diamonds to a trusted jeweler for a regular clean up is one of the best ways to keep your expensive stone last long and maintain its glimmer.

Taking care of your diamonds is like taking care of a child. You need to have regular consultations with a professional jeweler to see if your diamonds are still intact with the metal braces in your ring or necklace for instance. At least once a year will be enough for a check-up or repair.

While you’re at home, you can still take care of your diamonds with basic home treatments. If you want to have pieces of jewellery like celebrity diamonds, here are some tips you can do at home:

1. Dissolve a detergent or a liquid soap in lukewarm water. This is an inexpensive mixture to clean your diamonds.
2. When you have small pieces of diamonds, use a strainer when rinsing with water so you don’t lose them especially when you clean over the sink.
3. Use a brush with soft bristles when cleaning your diamonds so they won’t scratch.
4. Immediately pat them dry with a soft cloth after washing.
5. Place your diamonds in a box when not in use. Separate them from other pieces of jewelry so they will not be damaged through scratches.

 

 

As much as you would want to feel like a celebrity or a socialite all day, remove any piece of diamond jewelry when you’re out in the field. Don’t wear them when you’re doing physical and outdoor activities.

Even if these are totally expensive pieces, taking care of your celebrity diamonds will not cost you much, just as long as you know how to store them properly and have them checked regularly.

This isn’t about how Heidi and Spencer spent their time posing for the camera and how LC, the principled one, instantly became a positively favorite public figure because of her moralistic values.

“The Heels” is about women’s heel and their feet. Everyday you see women wear those high heels and sexy strappy sandals as they go to the office for work, or spend the evening at a club with friends. Despite the economic crisis which suggests cost cutting on everything extra, women just can’t get enough of those high heels with different colors and styles as seen on the latest fashion trend.

Seeing women parade their way to the office wearing their designer stilettos like Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, or probably a surplus one from a thrift store, you wonder how women can keep up walking with their aching feet through those high heeled shoes. 

And just to please and seduce men, women perfect the grace of walking in high heels. A perfect stance shows no sign of pain or limping cadence. Every stride comes with a fierce face or a smile covering up any smudges of aching toes or ball of foot, and then wondering where the nearest coffee shop may be so they can sit and rest for a while.

Before going through a detailed health issue on your beloved feet, there’s always a couple of reasons why women, despite the feeling of discomfort due to prolonged use, still wear a four-inched heel even if they had to walk miles. And these are some of the reasons:

• Women look sexier wearing high heels.

• High heels can elongate the legs.

• High heels symbolize women of power as these fashionable pairs are worn by top corporate executives and celebrities in TV series and movies.

• Fashion wise, it can flare up one’s boring clothing ensemble.

• It’s something women don’t necessarily need but really want. 

Whether these strappy heels are limited designer brands or mass-produced manufactured item found at inexpensive clothing stores, what’s important to know is that one should wear a pair with caution. Health wise, daily and extended use of high heels can cause damage to one’s feet. Having blisters is just a simple form of harm you can give to your pretty feet.

Wear your heels with grace and with care. Feel sexy, powerful, and fashionable while you wear a piece of footwear you can’t live without – just make sure you’ll also give your feet a time to rest, a time to be beautiful.
