Simone & Son unveils new online tool that lets customers preview diamonds in stock or initiate diamond search for the perfect gemstone HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., June 2010 -- Simone & Son, Southern California's premier jewelers serving Newport Beach to San Diego for more than thirty years, introduces its new online diamond selection tool. The new tool gives clients a way to browse diamonds from its hand picked diamond collection or its extensive network of cutters from around the world, all from the convenience of their computers. Few Orange County jewelry houses offer a more extensive selection and variety of diamonds. "No two diamonds are alike and finding the right one is not a task to be taken lightly," said Shant Dakessian, designer and certified gemologist, Simone & Son. "Picking the right diamond is an education process and we assist buyers with their diamond selection every step of the way, taking the guesswork out of each purchase." Simone & Son's new online tool allows shoppers to easily navigate through an extensive database of G.I.A. and A.G.S. certified diamonds. Diamonds can be searched by shape, caret, cut, color, clarity, price and more advanced details, if desired. Clients can study grading reports, view photomiographs that show diamonds as if viewing under a microscope, and videos of select diamonds, before seeing the diamonds in store. Once selected, a client can work with Simone & Son's master designers to incorporate the stone into unique custom jewelry designs or choose from a selection of semi-custom rings. Each Simone & Son ring is produced entirely in-house, from the design and modeling phases all the way to manufacture and finishing. Simone & Son's master jewelers meld state-of-the-art technology with centuries old craft to produce a product that is to our client's exact specifications. This is why Simone and Son have been a trusted source for custom engagement and wedding rings for more than thirty years.

| Honoring Cross-Cultural Wedding Customs - PRLog (free press release) Posted: 31 May 2010 02:38 AM PDT Message from Five Filters: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it. PR Log (Press Release) – May 31, 2010 – Planning a wedding can be challenging under any circumstances, but it is even more tricky when the bride and groom come from different backgrounds. It is important to find a middle ground that honor the customs of both families without making one family feel disrespected. Here are some tips on how to find that perfect balance and blend of wedding traditions.
The most important thing when trying to honor two different cultures is to avoid offending one family or the other. This may mean omitting something that your family believes is always part of a wedding, because it would be too upsetting to the other family. For instance, in American wedding ceremonies, it is customary to end with, "You may now kiss the bride". Did you know, though, that in certain Muslim countries it is considered disrespectful for a man and a woman to kiss on the mouth in public, even if they are married? This is one of those instances where it would be better to omit an expected part of the ceremony to avoid offending one of the newlywed's families. In America, it has long been a custom that the groom should not see the bride in her wedding gown, veil, and jewelry on the morning of the wedding, as it is bad luck. In Russia, on the other hand, there is a whole elaborate ritual before the ceremony that involves the groom showing up at the bride's home and passing through a series of funny challenges before he is allowed access to her. When the groom finally does make it through all of the riddles and feats set before him, he is permitted to see his bride and escort her to the ceremony, fully attired in her wedding jewelry, gown, etc. In a case like this one, the choice of which cultural custom to follow should be made based on which person feels more strongly about their country's wedding tradition. Food is a very important part of wedding celebrations around the world, and it offers a wonderful opportunity to honor both the bride and the groom's heritage. Feel free to combine diverse cuisines and to offer dishes from both families even if they do not necessarily "go" together. An easy way to do this is by having stations at the reception instead of a seated dinner. You can have food from the bride's culture, the groom's culture, and even some shared favorites of the couple. This is a great solution, because not only will both families be pleased with the food choices, but it is a chance for each side to learn something about the cuisine of the other. There certainly will be times when one side of the family is just going to have to live with some minor annoyance caused by the other family. In certain parts of the country, for example, it is still considered to be rude to wear black to a wedding. However, if the groom's family all hails from New York City, there is likely to be a sea of black on his side of the church at the ceremony. This is the type of thing that is not intended as a slight, and that needs to be forgotten about for the sake of harmony. When each side is willing to learn and to compromise, it is much easier to plan a wedding that honors the customs from both the bride and the groom's families. When all parties feel that their traditions are being respected.
