Ernest Jones Announces the Launch of Tolkowsky Diamond Jewellery

Ernest Jones has announced the launch of Tolkowsky Diamond jewellery.

2011-03-30

HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, March 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) Ernest Jones has announced the launch of the Tolkowsky diamond jewellery collection. In launching this prestigious brand, Ernest Jones is offering consumers the opportunity to buy high quality, prestige jewellery with history and pedigree, on the high street.

To celebrate this launch with Tolkowsky, Ernest Jones will be offering three of the most valuable jewellery items it has ever sold - The Tolkowsky Tumbling Suite. This consists of the White Gold Tolkowsky Tumbling Tiara totalling 8.51ct Diamond, White Gold Tolkowsky Tumbling Necklace totalling 19.15ct Diamond, White Gold Tolkowsky Tumbling Earrings totalling 4.45ct Diamond. These spectacular items of jewellery will only be available for a limited time, and allow consumers to see some of the finest pieces of jewellery available anywhere today.

As one of the world's leading diamantaires, Tolkowsky has been perfecting the finest diamonds for 200 hundred years and is renowned in the diamond industry for inventing the Ideal Cut diamond. Each Tolkowsky diamond is hand crafted to offer the customer the very finest quality. If a diamond is cut too deeply or too shallow, then light will escape and the diamond loses its brilliance, fire and sparkle. To prevent this, Marcel Tolkowsky, grandfather of the current CEO, set out to define the ideal proportion of a diamond's cut to maximise brilliance and dispersion of light. The result was the Ideal Cut which is a perfectly symmetrical round brilliant cut diamond designed to offer excellent return of light.

To further guarantee the quality of its jewellery, each Tolkowsky diamond is certified by a leading independent diamond grading laboratory and has a GemEx Light Performance Certificate as proof of the diamond's superior light performance.

When buying a diamond ring, consumers need to be aware of the 4Cs, and the Tolkowsky collection scores highly on these fundamental diamond purchasing considerations.

The 4Cs are: cut, colour, clarity and carat. The cut refers to the arrangements of facets and symmetry of the diamond. It is the cut which unlocks the beauty and brilliance of a diamond, and the only factor influenced by man. Tolkowsky's Ideal Cut is internationally recognized as the benchmark for the finest cut diamonds in the world. Diamond colour is how white a diamond is and Tolkowsky diamonds are available in colourless and near colourless, which are among the rarest.

Furthermore, the clarity of a diamond is a measure of how many inclusions the stone has, and Tolkowsky only use stones certified by leading independent gemological laboratories, who view the diamond under magnification to establish that aspect and guarantee that quality with an internationally recognised certificate.

The carat weight of a diamond is the fourth factor in defining its value and is considered by most consumers to be the most influential factor when consumers make their final purchasing decision. The Tolkowsky collection offers solitaire diamonds from third carat to a whole carat.

The Tolkowsky collection at Ernest Jones offers consumers the opportunity to buy some of the world's finest jewellery on their local high street.

How plants absorb pollutants

2011-03-30

Madison, WI, MARCH 29, 2011 – The environmental concern is great when considering the role of toxic contaminants in the plant-soil relationship. Understanding plant's absorption and accumulation of these contaminants from the soil would be incredibly beneficial. One highly carcinogenic contaminant commonly found in soil is called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. They are the byproduct of the incomplete combustion of coal, oil, gas, and garbage. These contaminants can also be manufactured; they can be found in certain dyes, plastics and pesticides. Since most the contaminants ...

PruHealth Reveals 39 is the Age Brits Start to Worry About Health

2011-03-30

PruHealth has announced that 39 is the age Brits really start to worry about their health, according to new calculations* by the insurer that rewards people for engaging in healthy behaviour. With thirty-something peers such as fitness-fanatic Gwyneth Paltrow (38 years) and channel-swimming David Walliams (39 years) showing vitality and achieving their health goals, perhaps it's understandable the average Brit is feeling the heat as they approach the big four-zero. However it seems Brits are all woe and not enough go. Whilst one in ten (11 per cent) constantly worry ...

Calculating livestock numbers by weather and climate

This release is available in Spanish. Ranchers in the central Great Plains may be using some of their winter downtime in the future to rehearse the upcoming production season, all from the warmth of their homes, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil scientists. The ranchers would use the GPFARM (Great Plains Framework for Agricultural Resource Management)-Range computer model to see which cattle or sheep stocking rate scenarios are sustainable. Soil scientists Gale Dunn and Laj Ahuja with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) are testing the model ...

Cancer is a p53 protein aggregation disease

2011-03-30

Protein aggregation, generally associated with Alzheimer's and mad cow disease, turns out to play a significant role in cancer. In a paper published in Nature Chemical Biology, Frederic Rousseau and Joost Schymkowitz of VIB, K.U.Leuven and Vrije Universiteit Brussel describe that certain mutations of p53, an important tumor suppressor, cause the protein to misfold in a way that the proteins start to aggregate. This not only disrupts the protective function of normal p53, but of other related proteins as well. p53 plays a central role in protection against cancer In ...

British Airways Starts New Flights to Marrakech

British Airways started new flights to Marrakech from London Gatwick on March 27, 2011 in direct competition with low cost carriers. The airline announced its new flights to Marrakech last November at the World Travel Market at ExCel in London. Richard Tams, head of UK and Ireland sales and marketing, said at the time: "British Airways offers a real alternative to discerning travellers to Morocco. Unlike the low cost carriers, we offer fantastic all-inclusive fares with no stealth extras. The benefits you get on BA at no extra charge include a generous baggage allowance, ...

MIT: New blood-testing device can quickly spot cancer cells, HIV

2011-03-30

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A Harvard bioengineer and an MIT aeronautical engineer have created a new device that can detect single cancer cells in a blood sample, potentially allowing doctors to quickly determine whether cancer has spread from its original site. The microfluidic device, described in the March 17 online edition of the journal Small, is about the size of a dime, and could also detect viruses such as HIV. It could eventually be developed into low-cost tests for doctors to use in developing countries where expensive diagnostic equipment is hard to come by, says ...

2011-03-30

EUGENE, Ore. -- (March 29, 2011) -- New research from the University of Oregon concludes that even brief training can help people learn how to be more supportive when friends and family members disclose traumatic events and other experiences of mistreatment. "The Impact of Skills Training on Responses to the Disclosure of Mistreatment," by Melissa Ming Foynes and Jennifer J. Freyd was published in the inaugural issue of the new American Psychological Association journal, Psychology of Violence. The study examined the effectiveness of skills training to enhance supportive ...

Satellites show effect of 2010 drought on Amazon forests

2011-03-30

WASHINGTON—A new study has revealed widespread reductions in the greenness of Amazon forests caused by the last year's record-breaking drought. "The greenness levels of Amazonian vegetation -- a measure of its health -- decreased dramatically over an area more than three and one-half times the size of Texas and did not recover to normal levels, even after the drought ended in late October 2010," says Liang Xu of Boston University and the study's lead author. The drought sensitivity of Amazon rainforests is a subject of intense study. Computer models predict that in ...

Berkeley Lab researchers make first perovskite-based superlens for the infrared

2011-03-30

Superlenses earned their superlative by being able to capture the "evanescent" light waves that blossom close to an illuminated surface and never travel far enough to be "seen" by a conventional lens. Superlenses hold enormous potential in a range of applications, depending upon the form of light they capture, but their use has been limited because most have been made from elaborate artificial constructs known as metamaterials. The unique optical properties of metamaterials, which include the ability to bend light backwards - a property known as negative refraction - arise ...

Fitness tests for frogs?

2011-03-30

Durham, NC —The most toxic, brightly colored members of the poison frog family may also be the best athletes, says a new study. So-named because some tribes use their skin secretions to poison their darts, the poison dart frogs of the Amazon jungle are well known for their bitter taste and beautiful colors. The spectacular hues of these forest frogs serve to broadcast their built-in chemical weapons: skin secretions containing nasty toxins called alkaloids. Like the red, yellow and black bands on a coral snake or the yellow stripes on a wasp, their contrasting color ...
