Understanding the Different Jewelry Components
Choosing Necklace Length
Most necklaces are one of several standard lengths. When lengths vary you can use the standards to help visualize how a necklace will fit.
About Jewelry Findings and Chains
Some clasps are easier to open and close than others and some offer more security. It's easier to choose jewelry when you know how clasps differ, so examine the clasps carefully before purchasing your jewelry.
Different Jewelry Clasps
Jump Ring
A jump ring is a circular ring of metal. It can come unsoldered or soldered closed. Jump rings come in different diameters and different types of metals and most often a jump ring is used to connect one component to another.
Jewelry Buying Guide: How to Buy Children Jewelry
Another problem in buying children charms with gems is that the gems are already set. Once a gem is in the setting, you may not be able to see all the inclusions, nor may an appraiser, because the setting can hide them. A setting can also make up for imperfect cutting. That doesn’t mean you should buy only unset gems. The average person can be as taken in by unset gems as by set ones. It does mean that where you buy can be more important than how to buy..

Yesterday evening I was shocked watching CNN-IBN news channel which claimed to have done an investigation. Two reporters as under disguise as drug traffickers go to Uttar Pradesh Minister for Backward Classes and request for his help. They went with hidden cameras (technology improvement has to appreciated). After long discussion, Minister accepts for transporting drugs in his official vehicle to Delhi. His quoted price is 20lakhs for every 1crore worth drugs!
Worst is he said another Minister incharge for Prisons also does drug trafficking!
Way to go Indian Politics. When will this stop? Where is this all leading to?
The Election Commision has to strictly prohibit all candidates with criminal record/pending criminal cases to contest in elections. Will all Political Parties come to a consensus on this.
Indian Express print edition carried an article on same but it is not to be found in the online edition.

I know it’s been a good few days since I last Blogged but that’s because I’ve been trying to hack through my own leg with a long board in a desperate attempt to catch up with our hapless cameraman in the skateboarding injury competition. No luck so far though, maybe I should take the board for a spin on the M4.
Boardfree is infiltrating my dreams now, last night I dreamt my old hairdresser from Selby was practising for Pop Idol but broke off to berate me for not sending her more stuff on Boardfree, this was followed by the revelation that an old school colleague of mine was in fact a lesbian. What does this all mean? Maybe I’m feeling guilty about not sending off my own Boardfree press releases yet, but where Pop Idol and lesbians come into it I’ve no idea.
Looks like I’ve sorted out my wedding suit, went to Moss Bros this weekend and tried on the wrong style jacket with the wrong sized trousers and a cravat that was the wrong colour, but decided what suit I wanted anyway. Still haven’t sorted out my wedding night accommodation though, I’m going to get such a beating if I don’t do that soon.
A quick update on the rest of my life, in case anyone’s interested. I’ve got the Nazi’s pinned down in a barn somewhere in Holland and have taken a break to try and win Serie A with Inter Milan. Been on another archaeological farm visit, in the middle of lambing season so the fluffy little blighters were gambolling all over the place, very cute, had a hard time trying to maintain my manly Indiana Jones image. Went up to Yorkshire to celebrate my Mum’s birthday, hello mum. I haven’t scored anymore goals for Murton, although I did hit the post on Saturday, we lost again. Went to the Student’s Union fashion show on Friday night, helped out on the Boardfree stall, I’m a poor salesman. Celebrated 6 amazing years with Rae, unfortunately I was too ill and broke on the day to do anything romantic, must do better on her birthday.
That’s about it I think, I might try to find some photo’s to start sprucing up my blogs now.
