Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa’s Wedding Bands

We definitely all know the pop band Jonas Brothers. A band that consists of three boys, which are Joe, Nick and Kevin. Kevin is the oldest among the three and got married on 2009.

Kevin got married to Danielle Deleasa, which is not an actress or even a celebrity personality. Danielle Deleasa is from New Jersey. They met during Kevin’s vacation with family on summer 2007. And after 2 years Kevin proposed to Danielle. Kevin gave Danielle a Jacob & Co. engagement ring.

The wedding happened December 19, 2009. A winter themed wedding. Their wedding bands are from Jacob and Co. also. The great thing that I notice on their rings is that they are not same like what we are usually see in some other wedding. Danielle Deleasa’s ring is an eternity ring, an 18k white gold with diamonds around it, while Kevin’s ring is a much simpler ring that fits to a man. It is a ring with small diamonds around the ring’s edge.

This may be a new idea to those who are planning to get married and going to choose a wedding band. You can have a different rings, but just don’t forget to put the name of your better half inside the ring. And wear it everyday and be proud that you are married with the man or the woman that you love.

Dress Appropriately for Concerts: 5 Style Tips

by admin

You’re heading to a concert. No matter your age, you want to look the part. You may want to blend in with the crowd so you feel young and hip. On the other hand, you may want to stand out as much as possible. After all, you want to get the attention of the band. What’s the right thing to wear?

Never, Ever Wear a Shirt from the Band

When attending a concert of a band, no matter how much you adore the members, you don’t want to wear their t-shirt. The reason is simple. You will not stand out one bit. For example, if you’ve bought Train tickets, you’ve spent a sizable amount of money getting good seats. It’s fine to purchase a t-shirt at the concert, just don’t put it on. It’s lost in the crowd since just about everyone else will do the exact same thing. You will not stand out wearing a shirt from the band.

Wear Something to Hide the Stains

Depending on the type of concert, your clothing needs to hide stains. If you are tailgating before the concert, like all true fans would do, you may get sick. You may spill your beer. You may even end up wearing the upset stomach contents of the person sitting next to you. Be sure your clothing lets those stains blend in. After all, you don’t want to look like a slob even after partying hard at the concert.

What Would the Band Wear?

Still not sure which t-shirt to pull on for the concert? Open your closet door (there’s no need to buy something new for the show after all!) Ask yourself, with the doors wide open, what would the band wear? Choose clothing that matches the style of the band. You don’t want to wear tie-dye to a pop concert.

Don’t Mix Your Bands

Let’s say you are going to see that top teen group or you just can’t resist the urge to buy Justin Beiber tickets. Don’t wear your One Direction t-shirt to the Beiber concert. That’s not cool. After all, you can only be so devoted to music groups and the concert you are going to should be #1 on your list, at least tonight.

Be Able to Move in Every Way Possible

Finally, before you walk out the door, be sure every ounce of clothing you are wearing is easy to dance in for hours on end. If you are not sure, turn the music up and dance. Do you feel comfortable? Are your shoes staying on? That’s when you know you are ready to head out.

Clothing matters when you take in concerts. From your classic rock concert to the rap group you hope to see, what you wear either helps you to stand out or blend in. What you don’t want is to end up being “that guy” that doesn’t belong.

Understanding the 4 Cs of Diamonds

by admin

Diamond Age

If you’re in the market for diamond jewelry, there are a few things you should know before ever setting foot in a jewelry store or even shopping online. The price of diamonds are based on four categories that are often referred to as the four Cs — carat, cut, color, and clarity. Take a look at each of these categories to learn how they affect the price of your diamond.

Higher Price for Higher Carat Weight

The cost of a diamond increases exponentially as the weight of the carrat increases. This means you can save a lot of money by choosing a center diamond that weighs under 1 carat. Once you reach 1.5 carats, you’ll have to fork over a small fortune because diamonds become more and more rare as their weight increases.

Not All Diamonds Are Cut the Same Way

Diamonds are cut into different shapes for different types of diamond jewelry. For instance, the different diamond shapes includes round, princess, oval, marquise, heart, pear, emerald, trilliant, radiant, and cushion. Most people have a diamond cut preference, so you should try to find out what your significant other likes before buying diamond jewelry for them. The diamond cut is probably the most important category to consider because it plays the biggest role in how a diamond looks.

Each Diamond Has a Unique Color Hue

Diamonds are awarded a value number based on their color. You want to buy a diamond with a letter value of J or higher, meaning J-D. This is because these diamonds have the least amount of color. If you thought all diamonds were clear, you were wrong. Some have a slightly yellowish hue that makes them worth less money. Of course, pink diamonds are more rare, so they have a higher value.

Clarity Can’t Be Detected by the Eye

All diamonds have imperfections, even if they are microscopic. You can get a better deal on diamond jewelry with flaws. This is a great way to save money because these flaws aren’t typically visible to the naked eye. Of course, you should never buy a diamond before examining it yourself first.

Understanding each of these diamond terms should help you make a better buying decision. Although, don’t forget to take into consideration the jewelry itself. Picking out the diamond is only half the battle, but it is definitely an important one.
