GOLD and PLATINUM PRICES MAKE NEW HIGHS

You may be aware that gold and platinum prices have doubled in the last year. My take is that diamonds will also increase overtime as a hedge against inflation. Think about diamonds as an investment not just a peice of jewelry. Let me give you 6 reasons why you should consider purchasing a diamond for a long term investment.

1/ For 2500 years, diamonds have retained the reputation as being a secure value.
2/ Diamonds maintain the strongest world currency during financial crises and wars.
3/ Diamonds offer secure currency exchange even in times of crises and they are convertible worldwide.
4/ Diamonds increase in value, tax-free, and protect your assets against inflation.
5/ Diamonds represent the highest value in smallest size. As the old German saying goes: "One talks about property in ones pocket".
6/ Diamonds are the only gemstones worldwide that adhere to international standards.
Remember, when purchasing a diamond you want to receive the best value. Don't pay retail prices when you can purchase wholesale diamonds. Like any investment, you want to purchase at the right price, in turn, this will represent a better long term investment for you and your family.

Another tangable benefit of owning diamonds is that you can enjoy wearing your investment now!

CHRISTIAN WEDDING RINGS

I just wanted to share this with you...

In the search for a nice looking christian-symbolized ring, I have
found several which have been okay. Nothing that makes me go -wow!! or
anything. I have searched jewelery stores to come up empty handed. I was
surfing through pages upon pages of rings when I found this ring and it
took my breath away. I loved it the moment I saw it. I was just looking
through stuff, not serious yet about buying. I never bookmarked the
page or anything, and that was several months ago.

Now it's actually time to buy the thing, and I had forgotten about that
ring. So I was doing my search again, looking through hundreds of pages
of just okay jewelery, when I happened upon that ring. I instantly
remembered it from months ago and it took my breath away again.

I am so excited to have the chance to offer it to my soulmate in one of
the most important events of my life.

I can't wait to see it in person!

WHAT RING DO I WEAR:

many people ask me what ring do I wear. Let me take a moment to tell you. Its a fully hand braided ring. Not cast like so many rings are today. Its a one of a kind style of ring and sold only at Furthers.com. Both my wife and I have these rings as our wedding bands. Also, my wife has 2 rings in a narrow width, one ring on each side of her engagement ring. It looks smashing! maybe I can get a picture of my wife wearing it if anyone is interserted. Anyway, I've had my ring 7 years and love it. If you know any Irish folks that love celtic rings they would love this ring, I know. All our customers do.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to hear about your rings too! fred@furthers.com
