A planet named 55 Cancri e has been found that is twice the size of Earth, covered in diamonds & a year on the planet is the equivalent of less than a day on Earth. Cancri e is so rich in carbon that it holds at least three times the amount of diamonds that Earth does. The diamonds on this planet are said to rise to the surface extremely easily, with the inner layer of the planet containing many more diamonds.

Cancri e is a rocky planet with not much gas & almost entirely solid. The 2,150C surface is completely covered in graphite (the led in a pencil) with diamonds working their way up & pushing through. Cancri e is so hot it’s like a constant furnace, the heat builds up from Cancri A, it’s closest star located 40 light years from earth, that can often been seen with the naked eye.

55 Cancri e could never host life but is a huge step in the right direction for astronomical research that could hold a sparkling future.

Buying an engagement ring is a challenging task and one that may seem impossible. Buying an engagement ring is a very special task, it’s the symbol & celebration of the future a couple will share together. An engagement ring traditionally holds a diamond or multiple diamonds and can also feature precious gems such as emerald or topaz. When buying a diamond engagement ring it is important to research & discuss the diamond cut, colour & clarity as these three factors will determine how brilliant your engagement ring is. Many people mistake the cut of a diamond for the shape when infact the cut is the lines cut into a diamond to reflect light & make it sparkle. The colour can vary from a ‘D’ all the way down to a ‘Z’ and ‘Z’ is the most yellow. A ‘D’ colour diamond is colourless & is the rarest, most beautiful colour grade to buy. The clarity references the natural internal flaws of a diamond, for example if a diamond had a clarity of ‘IF’ that is short for ‘internally flawless’, meaning there are no visible marks inside the diamond to corrupt light play which creates sparkle. Who said buying an engagement ring was simple?

Leading UK fine Diamond Designer and online retailer DiamondGeezer.com is one of the first U.K jewellery manufacturing companies to rush to defend Hallmarking as a legal requirement. This legal requirement is once again under scrutiny and threat in the UK Government’s current drive to reduce regulation was launched on 7th April under the banner of’ The Red Tape challenge’.

Currently all items sold as gold, silver, platinum or palladium in the UK must be hallmarked, unless they are very lightweight, regardless of where they are made. Hallmarking is the independent, impartial testing of each and every piece of precious metal jewellery, which has to be carried out at one of the 4 assay offices in the U.K. DiamondGeezer.com believes it is imperative to the British consumer for the current and future UK Jewellery Industry to maintain hallmarking as a statutory independent service.

Hallmarking has survived for over 700 years because it genuinely protects the UK public from being cheated. The precious metals market is an asymmetric market where the industry knows a lot and the consumer very little, making them vulnerable to deception. Asymmetric markets must be regulated. 700 years of even handed consumer protection could be brought to an abrupt end, not because people don’t want it, but by default, because it is seen as ‘red tape’.

With 85% of jewellery sold in the UK now being imported from countries with no properly regulated hallmarking regime, and where counterfeiting is rife, UK consumers need a strong Hallmarking regime to protect them from dishonest activity more than ever .
