Diamond Buying AdviceDiamond Advice and Information on Choosing a Diamond

When you lose a diamond, it’s always hard searching for it alone. As Kendall Langford is a Miami Dolphin and he lost the diamond during a practice session, he asked his teammates to help him find his diamond stud earring when it went missing. According to NewsCore.com, Langford lost the diamond stud earring during a Miami Dolphins practice.

The diamond stud earring was 2.5 karats and might be worth more than 50k, but Langford will not state its actual value. Langford and his teammates spent about an hour, searching for the diamond stud earring – but simply couldn’t find it. (watch the video and you’ll see them looking for it!) Langford noticed the earring was gone about halfway through their practice.

Langford is a dedicated football player with years of experience playing this athletic and active sport. Langford was drafted for the Miami Dolphins for the 2008 NFL Draft. Langford played football for Hampton college prior to playing for the Miami Dolphins. He was a letterman for four years from 2004 to 2007. He played football in high school in Petersburgh, Virginia. Langford earned First Team All-District honors during his junior year in 2002. He also was First-Team, All-District and Second-Team All-Metro and Second-Team All-Region honors during his senior year. He was born in Petersburg, Virginia.

Ryan Baker, a defensive end told the Palm Beach Post that he remembered seeing it and thinking it was a nice diamond.

Langford and his teammates could not find the earring but Langford said he would search again after attending some meetings.

We wish Langford luck in finding his diamond stud earring. Hopefully he’ll find it. You know what they say: it’s always the last place you look!

Here are some of our favorite tips to avoid losing your diamond earrings:

• Have a special jewelry box or trinket box where you keep your diamond earrings. Take them off and put them on every day – and put them back in the jewelry box or trinket box.
• Give yourself a place to take off your diamond earrings as you shower. No one likes to think about a diamond earring going down the drain! Keeping a pretty china saucer or trinket cup in your bathroom gives you a place to keep them as you shower.
• Develop a morning routine and stick to it. So you always put on your earrings after you’ve put on your makeup or after you’ve had your coffee. Whatever your routine is – keeping your routine will help you wear your diamond earrings regularly to enjoy them.
• Traveling and bringing your diamond earrings with you? Remember a jewelry travel pouch or other jewelry carry-all for your diamond earrings. Keep your diamond earrings in it when you are not wearing them.

Diamond lovers will be thrilled to know a new movie has been released this winter about the love of diamonds – and the fascinating woman who wore them. Now isn’t every woman who wears diamonds the most fascinating woman you know? We thought you would agree.

The title truly captures one’s attention and is inspired by the loss of one of the heroine’s earrings. Teardrop diamond earrings sound so glamorous and romantic – and certainly the type of earrings to draw attention to the wearer. According to The Chicago Tribune’s film review, the screenplay for this movie was written in 1957 by Tennessee Williams. It is set in Memphis, Tennessee in 1923 during the Jazz Age. The heroine Fisher Willow is preparing for the ball season and loses one of her teardrop earrings. Willow’s life is far more dramatic than simply the loss of her favorite (and very costly) baubles. Her mother is in an institution and her alcoholic father works on the estate and becomes a gigolo – soon joining Willow on the ball circuit.

It’s easy to see that this diamond themed movie is full of drama, romance and lush scenes of the South. The Jazz Age was an exciting time when women began to have more freedom – and the bold woman took more liberties such as “bobbing” her hair and dancing the Charleston (not certain if Willow does either of these things). For many men and women this was a fun and exciting time when both music and champagne flowed in a never-ending stream. It will be interesting to see how Tennessee Williams’ play is shown on the silver screen.

Fisher Willow is played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Other cast members include Ellen Burstyn and Will Patton.

You don’t want to lose your teardrop earrings – or any of your diamond earrings for that matter. Here are some of our favorite tips for not losing your earrings:

Have a special place to keep your diamond earrings. A small jewelry box or a portion of your jewelry box specific for your diamond earrings. Make this easily accessible for you to reach day and/or night.

Get into the habit of putting away any of your jewelry as you undress. This will help keep you in the habit of putting away your diamond earrings. Diamond earrings – or any jewelry often gets lost when you put it down “somewhere” as you are going about your day. It is best if you can become quite habitual about when and where you take your jewelry off and what you do with it.

Develop a monthly routine for cleaning your jewelry. Clean your jewelry the first weekend of the month for example. Or on the 15^th of the month. This may mean you take out every piece in your jewelry box. But developing this habit will help you keep track of your diamond earrings. Notice we are strong on developing habits!

Double-check the posts for your earrings, making sure they are secure. Buying new posts for your earrings is easy and often can be found at your jewelers within a day or so. Don’t ignore a loose earring with a post that needs to be replaced on your diamond earring!

“I like the way your sparkling earrings lay against your skin…” – The Eagles

Ever wondered just what kind of earrings they could have been? Hoops, drops, or studs? The writer never said. But, whatever the style, they made so much of an impression on the songwriter, that he chose to have them (along with the girl, of course) immortalized in verse! And like the love-struck guy in the well-known song, the sparkle of diamond earrings always seem to have a hypnotic effect on anyone who happens to gaze upon them, as they lay upon the skin.

Regardless of what one chooses to wear, earrings tend to add that one special finishing touch to just about any attire. When selecting the perfect set of diamond earrings, one would do well to think about the appropriateness of style; as well as of any occasions where they may be worn. While oversized chandelier or drop earrings are certainly lovely complements to formal attire; depending on style and size, they may be a bit overwhelming for everyday wear. This is where the personality of the wearer has to be considered , and where a happy medium can be reached with a choice falling somewhere between simple and elaborate. This is especially true when it comes to hoop and drop earrings. Hoop earrings can be almost as huge, or as small in circumference as the wearer’s heart (or budget) desires.

The same can also be said when it comes to drop earrings. They range in style… from close to the earlobe; to dangling past the shoulders. Diamond stud earrings can be especially versatile; as they are available in a variety of carat weights, and are appropriate for just about any occasion. Hoops, drops, chandeliers, or studs? Just what is your style?
