When is diamond jewelry appropriate

Receiving diamond jewelry is a very memorable event in a woman's life. If you are the one giving her this experience you want to be sure it is a positive one! By asking yourself a few key questions you can be sure the gift giving experience is the one you are looking to achieve.

1. Do you know if she likes diamonds?

Strange as it may seem... some women just don't like diamonds. Perhaps they don't see themselves as the type of woman who wears diamonds or they feel the money is better spent elsewhere. If she hasn't flat out told you her feelings about diamonds, comment on diamonds her friends or relatives are wearing, or even on commercials while watching tv. Lucky for you, the largest percentage of women do still love diamonds and your bet is fairly safe. As a side note, she may not appreciate a diamond if she can not wear it to work due to safety precautions.

2. Are you trying to express feelings of love?

Since the early 1900's diamonds have been known as an expression of undying love. Have you reached the point in your relationship where love is freely expressed? If so, that's a major hurdle or you will be taking a big risk presenting her with diamonds. If you are NOT trying to express feelings of love, it would be a good idea to switch to another gift. If you prefer jewelry, think about giving a birth stone or a piece of jewelry without a gemstone in it.

3. Is the gift giving occasion appropriate?

Diamonds are typically given as gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and for achievements. Once you've decided to give a diamond gift, the next decision is the type of diamond. Most importantly, unless your intent is engagement, do not give a diamond solitaire ring or any ring that resembles an engagement or wedding anniversary ring. In fact, if you are getting to the point in a relationship when an engagement ring could be expected, its best to stay away from any jewelry that comes in a box similar to a ring box. This could be earrings so be wary. A great choice is a diamond bracelet or pendant.

Good luck with your jewelry purchase and creating a memorable gift giving experience. Be sure to price shop and above all, save your receipt and verify the store's return policy!

The best earrings for your face shape

Your face shape largely determines the kinds of earrings that will suit you and those that will not. Some earrings can even help to bring more balance to your face shape. The following is a guide to the best earrings for round, square, long and narrow, oval, diamond and heart shaped faces.

Round

If your face is as wide as it is long and features a rounded chin, the best earrings are long earrings rather than wide earrings. Think narrow drop style earrings. Or alternatively stick to small studs, ideally those in more angular shapes like squares and triangles.

Square

Women with a square face shape are ideally suited to simply studs, or small hoop earrings. Try round diamond studs or pearls. You generally want to avoid drop style earrings as these are likely to draw attention to your square jawline. If you really like drop styles, look for those that may help to soften your strong jawline, for example, feather styles.

Long and narrow

Those with a long and narrow face shape are free to have fun with lots of earring styles as they will help to make their face look shorter and wider. Try oversized or very decorative earrings for the most benefit. For example, try large hoop earrings with decorative beads, or wide style chandelier earrings.

Oval

Oval faces are nicely proportional so you should find that most earring styles will suit you. Just be mindful of styles that are too top or bottom heavy as these may take away from the nice balance of your face.

Diamond

Those with a diamond face shape are widest through the cheeks and taper in quite dramatically at the chin and top of the head. As the ears feature quite predominantly in the same line of sight as the widest point on a diamond's face, it is generally best to keep earrings very low key. Think small studs. Alternatively, look for delicate drop earrings that feature a fine chain and then a more focal bottom. This will add to one of the more narrow points on your face.

Heart shaped

If you have wide cheekbones but a narrow chin, you want to look for earrings that do not add any visual volume to the cheek area. As with a diamond face, you can however select styles that spread out at the chin area as this can make the chin seem less narrow.

The New and Improved Leading Man

Heard all the Hollywood hand-wringing about the death of the movie star? About how the only things that can get people to the box office are comic-book heroes and animated sequels? The people who say this definitely haven't seen Magic Mike or Argo. The thing is, the leading man isn't dead, but he's evolving into something a little more complicated. Mark Harris explains the rules of leading men and tells us who is one (Channing Tatum), who isn't (Taylor Kitsch, at least not yet), and why



The ten highest-grossing movies of 2012 included the following: Three adaptations of young-adult novels. Three adaptations of comic books. Two cartoons. One installment in an action series. And one original, non-franchise, live-action movie that was, technically, aimed at adults.

Nine of the ten movies were, or were intended to generate, sequels. The movie aimed at adults was about a man whose teddy bear talks to him. None of this is news. We're all pretty familiar by now with the not-so-brave, no-longer-so-new world of franchises and the adult children who make them. What's most jolting about this list is what's missing from it: movie stars.

I don't mean that they're literally absent: Recognizable men are cast in lead roles. What's missing is, rather, the value stars bring to a movie—a quality long thought to be one of the most reliable and precious commodities in Hollywood. The twenty-first-century movie business, judging by this list, appears to be one in which Skyfall's Daniel Craig counts for neither more nor less than Twilight's Robert Pattinson or The Hobbit's Martin Freeman. It's a business in which you can get to $200 million or $250 million by hiring Andrew Garfield (for The Amazing Spider-Man) or David Schwimmer (for voice work on Madagascar 3). And notably, it is a business in which you will not get to that top ten on the back of someone like Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, unless they get there on the back of something like Pirates of the Caribbean 5 or Ocean's Whatever.

It's hard to escape the logical conclusion: Movie stars just don't matter anymore. Financially, sociologically, culturally, they're either obsolete or doing a damn good job of pretending to be. Whether it's because they stopped doing what movie stars are supposed to do or we stopped wanting them to do it, here we all are, apparently, in a post-movie-star universe in which the movies seem to be doing just fine without the presence of an entire category of people who have been, for the better part of the past century, the main reason a lot of people went to the movies. And we shouldn't be surprised. If, in 2013, our primary allegiances are to genres and concepts and properties rather than to people, if our biggest modern movie stars are Batman and Bourne and Wolverine and James Bond, and if the most a flesh-and-blood actor can hope is to be chosen to serve as the temporary avatar for one of those characters, then what meaning can the term movie star possibly have?

Plenty, it turns out. We still need movie stars. And perhaps more surprisingly, we still have movie stars—lots of them, and arguably a more talented and interesting variety than at any time in the past thirty years. But they play by new rules, and they have to navigate an industry that often seems hostile to their very existence.

···

To make sense of the new movie star universe, it may help to acknowledge that the very words movie star now seem like kryptonite to half of Hollywood's A-list (and A-list aspirants). From Johnny Depp, who is, lest there be any doubt, a movie star: "That 'movie star' stuff, I just don't buy it; it just doesn't make sense to me." From Steve Carell, who has worked very hard to try to become a movie star: "I don't think of myself as a movie star... I'm an actor, and I love my job." From Armie Hammer, the star of the hugely expensive big-studio franchise-wannabe The Lone Ranger: "I personally don't see myself...as a movie star."

This may all come under the heading of protesting too much—the way the second somebody says, "I don't consider myself wealthy," you know they're a lot closer to it than you are. But you can't blame actors for running away from a term that reeks of greed and compromise. Ever since the Reagan-era Wall Street boom infected Hollywood with a bigger-is-better aesthetic and box-office performance became a routine part of plugged-in chatter, the industry and the press have welded the idea of stardom to money so completely that it has been dumbed down all the way to the level of elementary-school math. According to Hollywood and its observers, a star is someone who can open a movie.

But to equate stardom with mere bank-ability ruins the fun—unless your definition of fun is long and tortured analytical discussions of whether Tom Cruise is "still a star," even though nobody wanted to see a man that short play Jack Reacher or, for that matter, see a movie titled Jack Reacher. Beyond that, it misses the truth. For one thing, some actors can indeed open movies every single time and yet are not what we think of as movie stars (specialty acts like Tyler Perry and single-niche performers like Jason Statham), just as there are actors whose box-office records may be spotty but whose stardom is indisputable (Pitt, for one). By the numbers, Adam Sandler is a movie star, but only when he makes an Adam Sandler movie. His stardom, like Abbott and Costello's in the 1940s and Burt Reynolds's in the 1970s, is extraordinarily consistent, but also dependent on satisfying rather than challenging the modest expectations of his target audience. When Sandler tried to break those chains, as he did in Punch-Drunk Love and Funny People, he won over critics but lost his base. Stars shouldn't be constrained by the fact that they do one thing well—nor should the designation of movie star be subject to such casual revision every time the grosses roll in. All stars have flops; real stars survive them.
