A unique twist on a timeless tradition is a wedding ring made of rose gold. This particular style of ring is often chosen by couples because of its romantic tones and unique color.

A karat is a measure of the purity of the metal used in the making of a ring. The lower the karat in a gold ring, the more durable the ring will be. Rose gold is made up not just of gold, but of other metals such as copper. Different shades of rose gold are created when the amount of copper and gold in the alloy are adjusted. The lower the karat of the ring, the stronger the rose color will be. 14 karat rose gold is often made with close to 60% gold and over 30% copper. The remaining alloy used is silver. The additional alloys help keep the rose gold ring in excellent condition to last through your lives together.

Rose gold is not only beautiful, but durable. It makes a statement that sets a couple apart from other newlyweds. This unusual, beautiful shade is a nod to the riches and symbolism of the olden days. It is a fashionable, timeless way to express your love and marriage.

Derek's Gold Mastery Guide, is one of the newest WoW Gold Making Guides to become available recently. This guide promotes that it can help anyone at any level make close to if not more than 150 gold an hour in WoW. While this claim does appear to be outrageous, Derek's Gold Mastery guide does an exceptional job of providing step-by-step ways to farm plenty of WoW gold. Many other WoW Gold Farming Guides would do well to take notes on how Derek's Gold Mastery guide illustrates the art of WoW gold farming into completely legitimate and easy to follow steps.

Derek is the author of the Warcraft Riches Guide, hence why it is sometimes called Derek's Gold Mastery Guide. Derek has been playing World of Warcraft since the beginning and has mastered golf farming in Wow. Many of these secret methods he picked up by observing the online WoW gold famers who inhabit the WoW realms. These WoW gold farmers are very efficient in how they collect gold. They then create websites and offer the gold they farmed to other WoW players for a price. For many of these gold makers, this is their career. By watching these WoW gold farmers in action, Derek was able to pick up valuable secrets on how to quickly make huge amounts of gold in WoW.

Derek's Gold guide is divded into many smaller sections. This allows the user to determine which way they want to make use of to make obscene amounts of gold in WoW. One of the sections is the WoW Guide to Leveling Professions. This guide goes through each WoW profession and illustrates the fastest method to level each of the professions. Derek's Gold Mastery Profession Guide also explains how to use each profession to make the maximum amount of gold possible.

Other guides included as part of Derek's Gold Mastery guide is a section on the Auction House, a Fishing guide, and a General/Grinding guide. All of these guides provide easy to follow steps on how to make the most gold possible in WoW. Some World of Warcraft Gold Farming Guides only provide information on one piece of the WoW economy. The Warcraft Riches guide is the rare WoW gold book that provides plenty of information on how to make WoW gold through many different methods. Whether it's the Professions, the Auction House, or Grinding, Derek's Gold Mastery guide has ways to make large amounts of gold through all of them. Some of the secret tactics can even be used in conjunction to really see the WoW gold farming skyrocket.

When trying to find a good WoW gold guide, take into account what aspects of WoW are entertaining. If killing monsters is fun, then methods to make gold via monster killing should be considered. Just because a WoW gold guide makes claims of 200 or more gold an hour does not guarantee that the manner in which the gold is farmed will be fun.Check out Derek's Gold Mastery Guide at Top-Warcraft-Guides.com for the latest information on how to make gold in World of Warcraft.

As J.R.R. Tolkien pointed out half a century ago, "All that is gold does not glitter." That statement seems particularly apt when applied to World of Warcraft gold. Not only is World of Warcraft gold the virtual currency of a virtual world -- and therefore doesn't glitter at all except on computer screens -- it's worth real gold on the world financial markets. In fact, World of Warcraft gold is worth more than many hard currencies, including the Japanese yen, Indian rupee, and Russian ruble. What's going on here?

A cross of gold

Recently, World of Warcraft gold peaked at almost a dime per gold piece -- not bad when you consider that the World of Warcraft MMORPG, where it's the prime unit of in-game currency, debuted in late 2004. The value of World of Warcraft gold is on par with the Mexican peso, and much better than, say, the Jamaican dollar (65 to the U.S. dollar). Why this run on World of Warcraft gold? Blame it on the five million people worldwide who play World of Warcraft (that's more people than live in the state of Colorado). To many of these people, and their millions of avatars striving to make a life in Azeroth, World of Warcraft gold is as real and as useful as the currency they use to buy sodas at the corner store.

Sure, you can work your fingers to the bone earning a pile of World of Warcraft gold, but we've got a better way: Find the best sources for WoW gold than you’ll know what to do with.

LINCOLN GOLD CORP. (OTCBB: LGCP) is pleased to announce that it has been informed by its joint venture partner, Kinross Gold Corporation, that it is continuing to develop drill targets on the Jenny Hill property located in the Black Hills in Mineral and Nye Counties, Nevada. The large claim block lies directly between the past producing gold mines of Paradise Peak and Denton Rawhide. Permitting for Phase 1 exploration drilling is planned for sometime in the second quarter of 2006 and drilling of 10 to 15 reverse-circulation holes is planned for the third quarter. Drilling will test for gold skarn and distal dissemination (Carlin-type) gold targets hosted in Triassic Luning Formation.Lincoln Gold Corp. is a US based gold-silver exploration company located in Nevada with several projects in various stages of exploration. Lincoln presently owns, or has options to acquire 100% interest in four projects in Nevada all with potential for discovery of large gold-silver deposits including Buffalo Valley, JDS, Jenny Hill and Hannah.

GoldQuest Mining Corp. ("GoldQuest" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GQC)(FRANKFURT: M1W) has been informed by its exploration partner Gold Fields Ltd that they have commenced diamond drilling on the Company's Cerro Dorado project and will then drill test new targets on the Piedra Iman project. The total planned drilling is 6,250 meters.

Gold Fields are earning a 60% interest in the Piedra Iman, Cerro Dorado and other projects in the Dominican Republic by spending US$5M over a three year period.

Cerro Dorado Gold Fields recently completed six north-south lines of IP geophysics over the Cerro Dorado project totaling 7,393 meters. Cerro Dorado was discovered by GoldQuest geologists during the Gold Fields funded regional exploration programme. Geologists followed up a float sample of silica-pyrite that returned 491 g/t Au and 7.6% Cu which lead to the discovery of a mineralised diorite intrusion which the company drilled and got several encouraging intercepts including 22.86 metres grading 2.94 g/t Au (Hole CD-1) and 46 meters grading 1.34 g/t Au (CD-4).

As a result of the new IP survey, five diamond drill holes are planned to test a strong IP chargeability target identified approximately five hundred meters west of the principal zone of previous drilling. The average depth for each of the new drill holes is planned to be 350 meters, for a total of approximately 1,750 meters. Holes have been positioned to test both the main part of the IP anomaly located on the Joboban concession and along the northeastern extension of the IP anomaly located on the Centenario concession where it appears to coincide with a mapped contact between chlorite schist and quartz sericite schist and correlates with a gold in soil geochemical anomaly.

The Joboban concession is 100% owned by GoldQuest. The Centenario concession is under option from Energold Drilling Corp. whereby GoldQuest can earn an initial 60% interest by spending US$1M over a three year period and up to 80% by advancing the project to feasibility study. Both the Joboban and Centenario concessions are included in GoldQuest's joint venture agreement with Gold Fields.

Piedra Iman

GoldQuest has also been informed by Gold Fields that they intend to carry out a 4,550 meter drill program on GoldQuest's Piedra Iman project approximately four kilometers northwest of the Pueblo Viejo gold mine currently the subject of a feasibility study by Barrick Gold Corp. GoldQuest identified the Piedra Iman property during a regional stream sediment sampling programme. Massive silicification covers more than 50% of the property with mineralization occurring as massive to semi-massive magnetite and hematite typically observed as broad zones of boulder float. In November 2006 GoldQuest management, in conjunction with economic geologist Richard Sillitoe, published a technical paper in Economic Geology discussing the geology of the Pueblo Viejo deposit and an exploration model for surrounding area including Piedra Iman.

Gold Fields recently completed ten northeast trending lines of IP geophysics totaling 11,939 meters over the Northern Target on Piedra Iman. This consists of the North West trending altered Maura Fault Zone and a lesser developed parallel trending altered zone located approximately 1 km to the south west. The principal IP anomaly covers 1,200 meters of strike length of the Maura Fault Zone. An IP response was found at depth, more or less contained between the main structures of the Maura Fault Zone. This response is believed to be coincident with sulfide development, typical of the high sulfidation epithermal target. Three IP lines totaling 3,578 meters were also completed over the Western target, where zones of anomalous soil geochemistry coincide with a relatively strong IP anomaly.

A total of 4,550 meters of drilling in 13 holes are planned for the Piedra Iman project comprising nine holes in the Maura Fault Zone, two holes in the south western zone of the Northern Target, and two holes in the Western Target. The drill will mobilize to Piedra Iman as soon as drilling has been completed at Cerro Dorado.

Josefina

Three wide spaced, northeast trending lines of IP geophysics were completed on the Josefina property totaling 3,840 meters. Two lines were completed on the El Can target in the east and one on the El Altar target in the west. A three to four hole drill programme is planned by Gold Fields.

Other exploration projects

During the last quarter fieldwork comprising geological mapping and geochemical sampling has also been completed on the Loma Viejo Pedro, Jengibre, Tierra Mala and Bacco y Ofir projects. Updates on these projects will be released when sample results are received.

Las Animas project

Diamond drilling continues on the Las Animas project. Samples from six further drill holes are currently in the laboratory being analyzed. Results from these holes, totaling 1,137 meters, are expected shortly. Las Animas is owned 100% by GoldQuest and is excluded from the Gold Fields agreement.

Internationally, gold prices have risen strongly since 1999. Today’s spot price is the range of US$ 735 per ounce. It must be remembered that despite this rise, prices have not reached the peak reached in 1980 (US$ 850 per ounce on 21 January 1980). Recent price rise appears to be driven by global financial worries, lowering US interest rates and strong demand in China and India.

Gold prices in India are expected to continue rising. ICICI Bank is reportedly pricing gold at approximately Rs 9550 per 10 gms (grams). Spot price of gold today (8.10.2007) on MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited) was at Rs 9461 per 10 gms, while the 05 Dec 2007 contract is priced at Rs 9510 and a 05 Apr 2008 contract priced at around Rs 9715. Some commentators expect gold prices to touch Rs 9800 by December 2007.

Resident Indians and NRI, both maintain a keen interest in gold due to social reasons. However, if this expected price rise is seen as a reason to rush in and buy gold for investment – investors need to stop and consider for a moment that the expected price rise in India is equivalent to a 10.5% pa growth rate. India bank deposits (e.g. with SBI, HDFC Bank) can get you more than 9 % pa and therefore a 10.5% return on an asset class where prices fluctuate seems moderate.

There has also been a perception that gold acts as a long term natural hedge against inflation. Data from the US does not necessarily support this assumption. If gold prices were to have kept pace with US inflation since Jan 1980, current price should have been US$ 2100 per ounce!

Indian investors should also be aware, that while gold prices in dollars could strengthen, a weakening dollar could mean a slower rise in gold prices in rupee terms. Some are expecting the Indian rupee (INR) to get to Rs 39 per US Dollar by December 2007, which in itself could create additional challenges for the Indian economy.

Name plates can be emblazoned with one line of text or whole addresses. Name plate necklaces, on other hand, cannot be more than one line of text. Usually this is the name of the user. The name plate necklace can be customized, typical, or trendy.

Gold name necklaces are often approximately two inches in length. They have a clutch that holds the gold chain. The designs of name plate necklaces are numerous. Some costly ones might have fine quality diamonds studded into them.

Twenty-four karat gold is the purest form of gold, but this much purity can hardly be used in ornaments because at this stage gold is very soft. The purity of gold used in a name necklace is generally marked near the clutch of the name necklace. However, evaluation of gold ornaments depends not only on the purity of the gold, but also on the sophistication of the design and the handiwork.

Name necklaces can also be made of silver. Genuine silver has about 93% silver in it. The remaining 7% is made of other metals to harden the ornament and form the desired shape for the ornament. The mark of genuine silver is 925 or .925. It is internationally acknowledged. If this mark is not mentioned then the purity of silver is in doubt. Genuine silver turns black or dull if not properly cared for. It should also not be cleaned with harsh materials.

Gold and silver name necklaces can be cleaned with a soft detergent, warm water, or a gold or silver wash. But be careful, because the chemicals that are used to clean these items may damage the gem stone attached to the name necklace.

There is no doubt that the amount of gold a player has in World of Warcraft plays a very large part in how good the character is. Many people spend, or waste, a lot of time trying to figure out how to make more gold. A large amount of players even go as far as to pay real life money in exchange for in game gold. This amazes me; I couldn't imagine spending my hard earned money in exchange for some WoW gold that I will only have temporarily. This is where the market for Gold Making Guides comes in. At least if a player purchases a guide, they will have the information to obtain an unlimited amount of gold.
