Valentine's Day Tips Pt.2

For the Non-Traditional Couple ~ For the non-traditional couple, presents of fine jewelry ( hey, women really won't let that one slide) handmade cards preferably on recycled paper, a delicious homemade dinner that doesn't involve pasta in cans  and poetry that is unique~ Search for something from Gibran, unless you are going for laughs. In which case, Mr. Silverstein has the best silly rhymes!

1.Both of you enjoy a more unique spin on life, so instead of stressing about making reservations, you should be planning the perfect meal.Just because you are making it at home, doesn't mean it has to be simple. Hunt down a great recipe, and look at the local meat or seafood markets for fresh, gourmet options. I love the Milwaukee Public Market when I am craving fresh seafood, locally produced cheeses and high-quality chocolates. If you really don't feel like cooking, then opt for some take-out. One of my favorites is Sushi-A-Go-Go and if you call ahead (Warning guys: a bit of planning is involved) you can order a giant sushi platter and then swing by Thief Wine, a value-oriented boutique wine store and wine bar, situated in the Public Market for an easy, one-stop shopping trip for a fabulous Valentine's Day Dinner sure to make an impression!

2.You want to really impress her with poetry but need some great ideas for inspiration.The old classic, 'Roses are Red' just won't cut it with your gal? If you visit your public library or second hand bookstore, look for some of these authors as excellent sources of romantic inspiration: Rabindranath Tagore, E.E. Cummings, Langston Hughes or Pablo Neruda. Included here are some great examples from two amazing poets that I love~ Perhaps they will inspire you to write your own poetry this Valentine's Day!
I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, or topaz

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,

in secret, between the shadow and the soul.


I love you as the plant that never blooms

but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;

thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,

risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.



I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

So I love you because I know no other way



than this: where I does not exist, nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. 

I could take the Harlem night

and wrap around you,

Take the neon lights and make a crown,

Take the Lenox Avenue busses,

Taxis, subways,

And for your love song tone their rumble down.

Take Harlem's heartbeat,

Make a drumbeat,

Put it on a record, let it whirl,

And while we listen to it play,

Dance with you till day--

Dance with you, my sweet brown Harlem girl.
  

 3.Last but not least, the jewelry! Do you intend to pop the question this Valentine's Day but you are stuck, wondering what a non-traditional girl would love? I can help with that! Something that will be unique, perhaps a vintage inspired ring or possibly incorporating a twisted band that will give her eco-friendly jewelry a customized look~ Diamond Nexus has a huge selection of inexpensive engagement rings and here are a couple of romantic suggestions that I would suggest:

Valentine's Day Tips

For  the Traditional Couple ~ The pressure is on to show a special someone how much they are loved, with classic presents of fine jewelry, store-bought expensive chocolates, roses (red of course) and a fabulous 4-5 star dinner at her favorite restaurant. 
  • This means, that right now, the guy reading this, (yes, I am talking to you) needs to drop everything and call that preferred restaurant and make a reservation immediately. Great dining options go fast, and you don't want to end up at the local fast food joint because no one had an opening.
  • While the phone is still in hand, call the local florist and schedule a pick-up of her flowers~red should be the dominant  color and hopefully you chose roses. Though, blending another variety with them would also look lovely.

  • With plenty of time still to order, a man should be planning the big gift. No, I don't mean a Lexus! I am talking about shiny, sparkling, dazzling bling. Now, I work with jewelry every day. I love it and happen to think that every woman deserves to have beautiful accessories, as they make anyone feel like a princess the second she wears it. So, the big question is....What do you buy her? Well, if you are planning a Valentine's Day proposal, then of course you need the ring! Since your tastes are traditional, I recommend something that has style, class and elegance without being too trendy. This woman loves timeless beauty. So here are a couple options I love, in our affordable engagement ring line:

Tiffany Style Engagement Ring















Diamond Nexus offers gorgeous man-made diamond simulant jewelry at prices that you can feel good about. After all, if you are planning a proposal, then you will eventually be paying for a wedding too. So, unless you have a very wealthy uncle who doesn't mind shelling out thousands for your wedding, you will want to keep some money handy. Diamond Nexus is the perfect place to get the most for your money and make sure that you don't go into debt, to have a beautiful ring for her hand.

Have a Green Valentine's Day


By the Green Queen

When planning Valentine’s Day, you may very well be thinking more of red hearts than green leaves.  But let us not be remiss!  Every occasion is a chance to live a little greener, and Valentine’s Day is no exception.  In fact, it may surprise you just how many green opportunities there are in classic romance.  Consider the Big Three of Valentine’s Day gifting: flowers, chocolates, and jewelry.

1.) Flowers.  First of all, step AWAY from those scrawny plastic-wrapped bouquets at the gas station.  Trust me, whoever you’re buying flowers for has been in a gas station before and they WILL recognize the arrangement.  When they do, those flowers will no longer say “I thought of you and wanted to give you something beautiful,” but “I grabbed these in a hurry ‘cause I forgot all about you ‘til the last minute.”  NOT ROMANTIC.  Instead, opt for a more mature and Earth-friendly option by getting potted flowers; they’ll last much longer, so you’ll get much more mileage out of them and increase the “greenness” of your home, and they indicate to your sweetheart that you’re thinking about your relationship in longer terms than just a few days at a time.  (Note: if you don’t see your Valentine’s date as part of a longer relationship, avoid this option.  Get a bottle of wine instead.)

2.) Chocolates.  Many common chocolates are made with palm oil, which is used as a filler in place of cocoa butter.  The problem with this is that expanding palm plantations in southeast Asia are a major contributing factor to deforestation.  This, in turn, is wiping out many severely endangered species who rely on those habitats, especially orangutans.  Fortunately for you, chocolates made without palm oil are generally higher quality anyway, so the eco alternative here is simply to buy nicer chocolate.  Lindt & Sprüngli is a good option for those in the United States, where it’s sometimes harder to find palm-free chocolate.  If you can find Fair Trade chocolate like Divine, even better.

3.) Jewelry.  Oh, let us not forget the fabulous eco-friendly sparkle of Diamond Nexus!  The thing is, it isn’t just the environmental and cost advantage of lab-created diamond simulants…it’s also the broad versatility of Diamond Nexus selection.  Valentine’s Day jewelry tends to fall into one of three categories: earrings, pendants, or engagement rings.  Obviously, not everyone will be proposing in February, but people still want something sparkly to make them feel special.  This is where the popularity of Valentine’s earrings and pendants comes from; they’re affordable jewelry options that have long-term wearability.  (Although – hint, hint – there’s a lot to be said for a classic tennis bracelet.  Not that I’ve got my eye on the Chantilly Lace or anything.  Ahem.)  For those who ARE planning a Valentine’s proposal, there are hundreds of settings to choose from, including 100 engagement rings under $1,000.  But what if you lose track of time and forget to order your ring in time for Valentine’s delivery?  While most Diamond Nexus engagement rings are made after they’re ordered, there is a collection of a few hundred pieces standing by for overnight ring delivery.  (Hey, you never know when you might have a ring emergency.)

(PRWEB) January 24, 2012
Diamond Nexus listened to their booming social media presence that requested several new lines of jewelry to appeal to the unique trends happening currently in the jewelry business. This includes using pearls, Two Tone Rose Gold and more light,modern petite rings. To view the entire line offering, visit: http://www.diamondnexus.com/new-products

    The Pearl Luxe collection was introduced to combine the beauty of man made diamond simulants with the elegance of cultured pearls for a stunning collection that would truly be heirloom quality pieces of jewelry for every woman. The Director of Marketing, Kyle Blades gushed over the new line, " We are so excited to be bringing this look onto our site and into the stores! Our customers have been asking us to combine pearls and diamond simulants for a long time, and we are able to deliver some designs that we all fell in love with here and we are sure that our customers will too!"

    Making a statement with the collection are pieces such as the Greta earrings and the Camille Necklace which boast a ravishing, romantic array of white cultured pearls and diamond simulants in vintage-style floral metalwork designs for a dazzling chandelier effect. The collection includes pendants, earrings and necklaces varying from simply elegant pendants like Estelle to the dramatic Keira. The only pendant released not to contain pearls is The Swan, so named for the graceful design and the strong presence it creates with a Trillion cut synthetic Ruby center stone.

    Rose Gold has been very trendy in the jewelry design world and  Diamond Nexus is proud to release the Hayley, Lois and Germania to add to their line.They are dynamic and modern, with lab created diamond simulants and ribbons of white and rose gold looping across the rings, combining two new trends into the designs, two tone gold and swirling metal for a dramatic look that many women choose to wear as right hand rings. Rose Gold has been a very successful line and Diamond Nexus wanted to extend their offering.

    The largest collection of new engagement rings to come out for Valentine's Day is varied with some solitaire and multi-stone ring choices. A few of the new designs are offered with peg-heads, like the Soliloquy, Hikaru and the Kit so that the center stone can be changed to hold any stone cut and carat weight for more options. The inspiration for the collection came from customers who asked for rings that would be comfortable wearing and affordable, yet still able to impress with significant stones or feminine band design. "The desire for a ring to feel modern yet have a romantic twist, was at the core of the design element that we were working on," explained Gary LaCourt , CEO at Diamond Nexus.

Diamond Nexus was founded in 2004 with the purpose of bringing to the public the powerful benefits of the diamond simulant revolution.They have over 200,000 customers worldwide that have awarded them an "A" rating with the BBB,and are rated a top ten online jewelery store according to the IR500 list.

Danny Gokey and fiance Leyicet Peralta are getting married!


http://www.sophiasheart.org/news.php?city=Nashville
American Idol Finalist his fiance Leyicet Peralta are planning a January 29th wedding and all of us at Diamond Nexus couldn't be happier for them! Danny is, after all, a Wisconsinite, hailing from Milwaukee,WI, where our company is based (Go Packers, Cheeseheads, MillerTime, Leon's Custard and the Brewers!) So there might be a bit of bias as I blog about this love story!

Danny Gokey Visits Milwaukee-Checks out Bronze Fonze!
Danny and Leyicet announced their engagement December 25, 2011. We can say that everyone is excited for the happy couple to tie the knot!

"Danny originally chose a ring that was too big for Leyicet's finger," says the rep for the country singer and American Idol season-8 finalist, "so they went on a hunt for a new one together."

The couple donates substantially to the charity that Danny is also CEO of: Sophia's Heart Foundation, which honors the memory of Danny's late wife, Sophia. She died in 2008 from complications during heart surgery. So when searching for a ring, it was important to stay within a budget. They allocated a specific amount for the ring, preferring that the focus remain on Sophia's Heart Foundation.

It is inspiring to us at Diamond Nexus to read about celebrities looking for affordable engagement rings since much of their money is donated to aid in running the foundation named for his late wife. We all know that they could choose to spend much more on a ring, but instead they opted for an inexpensive engagement ring, and use the leftover money for something much more rewarding to them both.

I think that what this couple has done is commendable. Choosing to use the money they would normally put into the chemistry of the stone on her finger, and instead see that money do something positive to help others. They are also opting out of wedding gifts. They are requesting donations be made to Sophia's Heart Foundation.

What a wonderful way to start a marriage off, with love and genuine compassion for others. An act we can all aspire to when we make purchases, great or small. It makes me think of random acts of kindness and what we can all do every day to make someone else feel better. The best gifts are those that we give~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For anyone interested, Danny and Leyicet announced that in lieu of wedding gifts, donations to be made to charity that he runs.

 We are thankful for so many of the blessings God has given us.  It is our desire to see homeless children and families be kept together and lifted back on their feet through the help of Sophia’s Heart. We love and appreciate you all.”
