Welcome to my blog. On this page you will find articles I personally write about the photography industry and my work. You will also see blogs showing the photos from many of my photo sessions.
The first step in getting married is buying the right diamond ring. When couples decide to get married, they need a good jeweler.
Moments in Time Images’ choice for best jeweler in the Lincoln area is Sartor Hamann. And when you go to the store at Southpointe Pavilion, look up Tami Wilson, a top-notch personal jeweler who really knows her stuff.
I went to Sartor Hamann just a few days ago and spoke with Tami. She is extremely professional and very knowledgeable about anything related to jewelry. And I learned something very interesting while I was there. You have options when it comes to buying diamonds, and Sartor Hamann provides you those options.
I was very surprised to learn that there is a new choice for diamonds. They are called “Pure Grown Diamonds” and they have the same look and feel as those diamonds found through mining. Plus they cost significantly less.
These diamonds are grown in a technologically advanced facility in a very eco-friendly way. They are created with small amounts of energy and have little direct impact on the environment. These diamonds are certified by leading independent gemological labs just as mined diamonds are certified.
The company that makes these diamonds is called Pure Grown Diamonds and they offer just that – pure diamond jewelry. The mission of the company is to provide a new choice in beautiful gems that are socially responsible, certified and sustainable.
The company has the most advanced facilities and uses High Pressure-High Temperature and Chemical Vapor Deposition for stone production. These methods create stones that possess all of the beauty of mined diamonds.
To distinguish grown diamonds from mined diamonds, each grown stone over .25 carat is laser-inscribed as part of the certification process.
Sartor Hamann offers these Pure Grown Diamonds to their customers and Tami says they are wildly popular options to traditional mined types. If you’ve ever shopped for diamonds, you know what they cost. More and more couples are realizing they can get a real diamond for up to 30 percent less through Pure Grown Diamonds, and many couples are choosing this option.
You’ll have color options as well. While white diamonds may be the norm, you can also get pink or yellow. Pure Grown Diamond’s white and pink stones are certified as Type IIa, which is the choice of diamond connoisseurs.
Tami tells me that Sartor Hamann is the only jewelry store in the Lincoln area selling Pure Grown Diamonds. I encourage you to go take a look at these gems if you are considering getting engaged. If you don’t want the Pure Grown type, they have gorgeous mined stones from which to choose from as well. And their customer service is beyond reproach.
