Q: Creating Select Options With Smarty Hay everyone need a bit of help Because i'm new to coding.
I've created a column in my movies table called quality and i want to creating a smarty select option list that would contain 3 options.
DVD
TS
CAM

So how would i create a smartys select option list and how would i assign the 3 options to the option list.
Here is a example of 1 of my option list looks like.
<select name="languages[<?php print($counter); ?>]" id="languages_<?php print($counter); ?>">
<?php
foreach($language_options as $lang_key => $code){
print("<option value\"{$code}\"");
if (isset($languages[$key]) && $languages[$key]==$code) print(" selected=\"selected\"");
print(">{$code}</option>\n");
}
?>
</select>

Please help.
Thanks

A: Smarty has a neat little feature for it called html_options (docs). Basically it's used like this:
{html_options name=yournameforit options=$language_options selected=$code)}

In your example you're writing in phtml, which got me confused as Smarty has it's own syntax (imho, a lot prettier than phtml). I hope that helps.

Shades of Messi, Higuita and Van Basten in Serie A
Publish date : 8 April, 2013
Palermo's Josip Ilicic produced a goal worthy of Lionel Messi in Serie A on Sunday while hapless Chievo goalkeeper Christian Puggioni suffered a moment reminiscent of eccentric former Colombia goalkeeper Rene Higuita.
Ilicic's effort in the 3-1 win at Sampdoria was arguably Italy's goal of the season after he weaved his way past four opponents, burst into the penalty area and fired a right-foot shot past oncoming goalkeeper Sergio Romero into the far corner.
The only person who was not completely impressed was the Slovenian's coach Giuseppe Sannino, who is battling to keep the second-bottom side in the top flight.
"Josip Ilicic has played a great match but he also needs to defend more and be more disciplined," he told reporters.
Puggioni's nightmare moment in Chievo's 3-1 loss at Udinese was in complete contrast.
After collecting a back pass from one of his defenders, the goalkeeper tried to drag the ball back and dribble away from oncoming forward Antonio Di Natale.
Comically, he missed the ball completely and allowed Di Natale to score into an empty net in the sort of incident which occasionally befell Higuita, who routinely took enormous risks by trying to dribble around opponents in front of his own goal.
Di Natale struck again shortly afterwards with a magnificent effort which his coach compared to Marco van Basten's volley for Netherlands in the 1988 European championship final against the Soviet Union, although from the opposite side of the penalty area.
Di Natale ran onto a long, looping diagonal cross into the Chievo area and hooked it first time back across the face of the goal from a narrow angle and into the far corner.
"It was Van Basten style and on his left foot, which is not even his best one," said Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin. (Writing by Brian Homewood in Berne)

A Moment With: Chef Nicolas Magie
If nomen est omen, then Chef Nicolas Magie couldn't have been named more appropriately. A fourth-generation chef, Chef Magie runs the gourmet restaurant at the fabulous Le Saint James Hotel in Bouliac (near Bordeaux), where diners can enjoy his truly magical cooking.
When chef Magie isn't busy cooking culinary masterpieces or enjoying a G&T, his favourite drink, which even features in one of his elaborate starters, he enjoys playing rugby and performing in a rock band.
What is your background?
My family has always run restaurants in nearby Cenon and I plan to open one there myself soon, combining it with my work for the Saint James. I'm also happy that my son is following the family tradition, so there will be even more Magie chefs!
Where did you learn your art?
I'm glad you call it an art, because that's what cooking is. Apart from being a craft too. Over the years, I've worked at Michel Gautier's Rouzic in Bordeaux; La Chamade Bordeaux and Le Pavillon des Boulevards Bordeaux.
I then moved to Spain for a year because I enjoy the Basque cuisine and I worked at Le Miramar in Biarritz. After that, Paris called and I worked at Hotel Le Crillon. I'm proud to say that I received 2 Michelin stars and I am hoping for another one. I joined Le Saint James as chef in 2012.
What is the most important thing for you about food?
I love meat, fish and, above all, seafood. What is most important is the freshness, therefore I use local products as much as possible. Luckily, Aquitaine has an abundance of delicacies, so I'm never short of material to create my dishes.
What do you think about fusion cuisine which is so fashionable?
Nothing! If I want to eat Chinese, I go to a Chinese restaurant. I'm a purist, the basic ingredient has priority and should dominate the flavor. There should never be more than three flavors in one dish, and sauces should complement the dish and always be served apart and never poured directly onto the meat or fish. I also use little butter and little cream. When cooking, I like to play with opposing flavors, such as the sweetness of lobster combined with green apples. Presentation is also important because we should eat with all our senses.#
Do you have a signature dish?
Not really, but I like to create my favorite starter: grilled scallops, topped with caviar and a crème flavored with gin tonic. It's very popular.
Do you still play rugby and have a rock band?
I try to keep fit and a little rugby now and then is in order. As for the band, I used to be a member when I was younger. I love New Wave and rock and sometimes I might just pitch in, but there is no time to be a real member of a rock band now.

Grammy Nominated Ricardo Scales Starts "Get to Know Me" Concert Series For Up and Coming Musicians
Grammy-nominated piano virtuoso Ricardo Scales kicks off the concert series with The Pete Escovedo Family, of which Prince's famed drummer Shiela E, is a member.
SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Posted Courtesy of Wright Enterprises Community Spotlight, www.wrightnow.biz~~
Let the Church say "amen," "andante," "fortissimo," "adagio," and "fermata" all to the measure of the feverish pitch of lively music from Gospel to Classical to Jazz, Latin to Pop to Reggae to World Fusion and beyond as Grammy-nominated pianist Ricardo Scales launches the "Get to Know Me" monthly concert series in honor of his mother, Patience Scales, founder of "The Parade of Youth." Jones Memorial United Methodist Church, 1975 Post Street is the location of the new concert series.
World-renowned piano virtuoso Ricardo Scales, who has produced Grammy nominated music with his more than thirty CD's since the 1990's, will headline the Sunday, 5:30 p.m. December 15th concert with the legendary Pete Escovedo Family.
"As I'm the new Music Director at Jones Memorial, most people would expect that the "Get to Know Me" series would be totally liturgical," said Ricardo Scales." "But I'd like to remind everyone that Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Aretha Franklin and other musical geniuses began their music careers in service to God. We want to give 'up and coming' artists an opportunity to pair up with the genius of Pete Escovedo and other well-established artists to help elevate their craft and gain exposure to the public without a great deal of expense," added Scales. The concerts will be a tribute to my mother who held many concerts over the years at The War Memorial Opera House and other venues in the Bay Area to assist young musicians. The "Get to Know Me Concert Series" is a continuation of her legacy."
"I am honored to be working with Ricardo on this groundbreaking work that will give young artists and seasoned Bay Area talents a place to either hone their skills or have an opportunity to express their talent," said Pete Escovedo. "The Bay Area has a lot of artists that are not household names and this new venture will help make them and other guest artists from around the country better known."
The Jones Memorial United Methodist Church Music Director recounted how expensive it was for him to get his recording career started. "I want the emerging generation of musicians to concentrate on their craft and not the costs of producing music," said Scales

Auction of Waikiki liquor store inventory to include rare high-end brands
WAIKIKI, Hawaii (April 2, 2015) — Looking to stock up on high-end alcohol? People in Waikiki and nearby areas will have a chance to bid on hundreds of bottles of wines and spirits Wednesday, April 8, when all the inventory of Posh Liquor will be sold at auction.
"Posh Liquor had a reputation for carrying one of the state's largest selections, and its inventory included many unique and very high end products. Sadly, it has been forced to close, and all of the inventory will be sold with no minimum bids or reserves," said John John Genovese, co-founder of Malama Auctions, which will handle the auction. "Posh's clientele over the last decade included not only locals, but visitors from the mainland, Canada, Australia and Europe. Many would remember Posh and return during subsequent visits," he said.
The inventory includes such hard-to-find brands as Glenlivet 25 Year Single Malt Scotch, Jameson Gold Reserve, Milagro Tequila Romance and others. Also selling will be fine cognacs, including Camus Jubilee (originally priced at $1,250 per bottle) and Hardy Diamond (originally priced at $1,300).
The auction will also include rare wines from such winemakers as Penfolds, Buccella, Dom Perignon, Husic Vineyards and numerous others.
"Some of these will sell individually and others by the case. Details are being worked out now, but the auction will include products from a broad spectrum of original price points. With everything selling with no reserves, it's likely that some bidders will have opportunities for some great bargains," said Genovese. Also selling will be related products making up the store's inventory.
He noted that because of legal restrictions, alcohol sales are open only to individuals purchasing for personal use within Hawaii.
The auction will begin at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 8, at the store, at 159 Kaiulani Avenue, Honolulu. Details are available at www.malamaauctions.com or by calling 808-634-2300.

FA investigating reports of Hillsborough overcrowding during Newcastle FA Cup tie
The Football Association are set to hold talks with Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle and the police after they received reports of concern following overcrowding during the FA Cup third-round tie between the two sides at Hillsborough on Saturday evening. While the enthralling match finished 2-1 to the spirited League One side, the impressive upset has been somewhat overshadowed by the experiences of some of the travelling Newcastle supporters who were present.
Newcastle fans on Twitter have already documented their own sequences of events, in which some of them claimed they felt in danger as they tried to enter the Leppings Lane End of the ground.
Some even had to remove seats to avoid the risk of crushing in one section of the stand which is accessed via a small tunnel.
The Times has also spoken to some of the Newcastle supporters that were in attendance at the ground and they confirmed the worrying events before raising fears for future travelling fans at Hillsborough.
The incident took place in the same end that tragically saw 97 Liverpool supporters lose their lives following a crush in 1989 when the Reds were facing Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final.
Win a pair of tickets to the Premier League or Women's Super League match of your choosing! Enter below. CLICK HERE
The Newcastle United Supporters Trust has asked fans to get in contact with them if any supporters were affected by their experience at Hillsborough.
They tweeted: "As with Leeds last January, any Newcastle fans involved in the situation below, or any situation similar, please email board@nufctrust.co.uk with details of what you witnessed."
Newcastle are yet to comment on the ordeal but they are set to cooperate with the Football Association in search of answers.
One female fan documented her experience anonymously during a conversation with The Times, stating: "We got in an hour before kick-off and I was with my 15-year-old son and we were in the lower tier.
"We were three rows back from the seats that were covered at the front, and ours were the first two at the end of the row.
"In the run up to kick-off you could feel it filling up around us. The stairs next to it were like being back on the terraces.
"People seemed to be walking past us and as people were standing on the stairs, there were two stewards stood at the front for the whole time and neither of them made any effort whatsoever to check people's tickets or to direct them into the empty areas.
"I've been going to away games since the Eighties, I've been in crushes before and this stuff doesn't usually bother me but this is the first time I've said to my son, 'If anyone else comes through, get your elbows up'. He's been going to games since he was tiny and it's never been an issue.
"We ended up four seats along from where we should have been because of the amount of people who were on the stairways coming into the seats. We still had to stand two [people] to one seat during the game."


Transport's contribution to climate change could be reduced by a quarter by 2020 according to new research published today . The research comes as the Climate Change Bill passes into law and the Committee on Climate Change prepares to release its proposal for UK carbon budgets up to 2022 . Transport is likely to be a key target: it accounts for 28% of UK carbon dioxide emissions and with growing road traffic and flights is expected to increase.
The package includes a range of quick win measures on business travel, including commuting and freight, and funding to switch local car journeys to walking and cycling. Longer term measures include a new national travel card, parking controls in new developments, changes in planning guidance and tax changes to reward low-carbon travel.
 A Low Carbon Transport Policy for the UK (full research and a summary) was initiated and carried out by consultants MTRU, and sponsored by the Campaign for Better Transport. The research began in 2005 and draft material was widely commented on over the years.
 The Committee on Climate Change's proposals for the first three carbon budgets will be released Monday 1 December.

If you are thinking about having various beauty treatments done, it is important to keep your particular skin type in mind when settling on the right one. Facial exercises are a great plus for any natural skin rejuvenation routine. However, if you concentrate instead on an anti aging diet care program, you can definitely ward off the effect of aging and feel as young as you look. No matter what you choose to call it, it's rapidly gaining attention as the anti-aging ingredient if you want to have younger looking skin, and full, inviting and sensuous lips as well.


I am travelling to South Africa to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve. It is my first time, I would appreciate advise regarding safety.
Here are a couple of sites that haven't been covered yet. The rough guide one is quite good as it doesn't only focus on the bad things. Read too many and you might not want to go. It has some things you shouldn't miss. Hope this helps.


The tournament of Kingdom Builder is finishing soon, just a few more games left… see addenda and comments for more details.
The league will take place during the end of March and April. The final will be played in May.
You can expect to play around 4 sets of 2 games during the league phase and 2 more games in the final. If you register for this tournament, you will be playing approximately one set of games every other week (there is some flexibility for rescheduling a game if you've got holidays planned).
The fee to participate will be 2€ for members of the Club and 4€ for non-members.
If you want to participate, please send an e-mail to the organiser (David Dominguez) before March 19th. You will receive further details before the start of the tournament.
If you know of someone who would be interested in playing but is not a member of the Games Club or has not yet participated in any of our tournaments, please feel free to forward him/her this email.
If you want to try Kingdom Builder before registering, please inform the organiser so some demo games can be organised.
If you have any questions about the tournament, just send an e-mail to the organiser.
Please be so kind to transfer the participation fee with your name and mentioning Kingdom Builder Tournament 2013 in the comments section.
There will be 4 rounds. In each round, you will play 2 games with 3 players. Everyone will play against everyone else once (let me know if I made a mistake).
You can play the rounds in any order.
For the League's purpose, the Winner will score 3 points and a "Winner". The second player with most point will score 2 points and the third player 1 point.
At the end of the League, the 3 players with most points will play a final. Ties will be resolved looking at the number of "Winners". If ties persist, additional games will be played to break the ties.
Therefore, the final score in each game is not relevant, only the final stands. You don't need to note the points after each game, only the stands. You can send me an email cc/ing the other players and I will note it.
Seating and starting order will be chosen randomly for the first game (I will include one die in the box for that).
For the second game, the player that was starting last in the first game will then be starting player and playing order will be reversed so that the player who was starting will be the last to start playing in the second game.
We will play using both the basic game and the expansion "NOMADS". I will include some FAQS in the box.
1) Randomly choose the board composition and orientation.
2) Randomly choose seating and player order.
3) Randomly choose the 3 objectives including also the ones in the expansion. If someone doesn't find it good enough to pick random cards because of their slightly different backsides, then have someone shuffle and someone else name cards (1-13). Make sure that the objectives are clear to everyone and begin the games!
It is possible to play 2 games in ca. 90 min. If you commit yourself to start playing a game, please do not quit before it finishes and leave the other players in the lurch. It will be considered that you lose that game.
As courtesy to fellow players, draw your next card as soon as possible and think your play ahead, it can save a lot of time per game! Please consider that most time in the game goes waiting for your turn. If at least two players agree because a game is taking to long, then a timer can be introduced: allow 2 extra minutes per player.
As per 24/04, we noticed that there are no tie-breakers when two or more players finish a game with the same amount of points.
In those cases, the solution will be the following: a game will always afford 6 points, so players sharing positions will add the points of those positions and divide it by the number of players tied.
1) If all 3 players tie, then each player receives (3+2+1)/3 = 2 points each (and 1 Winner for each too).
2) 2 players (A and B) tie for the first position, then players A and B get (3+2)/2 = 2,5 points each (and 1 Winner too). The last player, C, gets 1 point.
3) 2 players (A and B) tie for the second position, then players A and B get (2+1)/2 = 1,5 points each. The first player, C, gets 3 points and the Winner.
We're dying to see the results of this one.
I'll start publishing as comments the list of people who have paid the registration fee. This way it will be easier for everyone to know whether they have paid or not.
Congratulations for the new web page, it looks wonderful!
I registered for KB, but not paid yet. Please do not forget me!
As this tournament is just starting, could we have it as an sticky post for a couple months, please?
Alternatively, David could send a new post so that people subscribed to the website will know that the tournament is starting.
2nd game: Winners David and Antonio tied with the same amount of points. Beni last.
Kingdom Builder has NOT a procedure for resolving ties, the rules state that in the event of several players having the same amount of victory points, all of them are the winners of the game (sic).
David will implement a solution for this problem.
Game 1: Beni and JL: 43, Daniel 29.
Dear participants, the league is over, time for the final!!
The first three: Antonio, Daniel and Thibaut will play the final.
Thibaut has won 4 games, so he has 4 "Winners" and Renaud has won 3, so just for 1 "winner" is enough to break the tie between them.
I'm sorry Renaud, you deserved a place in the final too!

The expected rain kicked in overnight with a good deal of wind as well. There really is no better feeling than that of being inside in a warm cozy bed as rain beats down outside and you've just finished a week out on the trail. Given the forecast with some rain on the longer tracks this week, we've now switched from heading to the exposed and challenging Western Arthurs next and decided to head to the west coast. We've gone back and forth on what to jump to next as we want to optimize weather windows. It's fun to actually have a choice in the matter and not be in the stress of a forced thru-hike to push through regardless of weather. The east side of Tasmania tends to be dryer, so those are good for us to do when it's not ideal to be hiking further west. Here's the map again to get a visual.
We woke up with the plan of hitting the coastal Freycinet Circuit. We would need to take the 11:45am bus the two hours to Hobart to rent a car, which is super affordable out here. I was guilt ridden to lounge all morning when I was up at 6am, but it was raining and we had no control over the bus schedule. It only runs every other day, and we could have hitched to Hobart yesterday to save half a day, but we didn't realize this until last night when the weather shifted to change our plans to needing the rental car. Good thing Tasmania is small and jumping around isn't too time consuming. We both want to optimize our time here and know it's a bit of a game of roulette with the weather, and we may not get to do everything on our list, so we keep strategizing what order to do things based on the shifting weather.
Once I let go of the guilt of sitting still while it rained outside, I huddled up in bed till 10am and indulged in two more episodes of Downton Abbey, which I'm officially hooked on, and finished the first season. Man, how did I ever miss out on this as it was aired originally?! Then we went to breakfast and caught our bus to Hobart.
It was a really windy two hour ride to the largest city in Tasmania, but I stayed focused and managed to get minimally nauseated. We didn't get any photos of Hobart, but it felt like any other city. We did a bit of needed shopping, rented the car, and grabbed plenty of food for what we might be doing with the car. Then we headed not to the coast, but back where we came from this morning. Yep, we changed plans again.
Griggs and I having fun posing with our lucky car rental of a bigger car for the price of the smallest option. Score!
While riding the bus, we looked at weather again and decided to make a go for the short hikes in the middle which we prioritize over the coastal Freycinet hike, and which have a good window of clear weather. Looking at the map above, the ones we are aiming to do would be Frenchmans Cap, Lake Rhona, and Mt Anne Circuit. All are short hikes of 1-2 days. Both of us would prioritize these over the coastal hiking, so we decided to do them while we could. Then we will reassess if weather will be clear enough to head to the Western Arthurs Traverse or the South Coast Track.
This has been a great way to wind down from the Te Araroa, and also to end what will be 9.5 months of hiking and travel for me. Even if we don't get the opportunity to do all the hikes on our list, we are totally ok with that. This feels like a vacation and we are having fun with not forcing ourselves into unnecessarily uncomfortable conditions. We did enough of that the last few months! The drive was beautiful with the clouds and sun providing plenty of entertainment.
We used the Campermate app and found a free campsite right on the way along Bronte Lagoon. We nailed the timing arriving just before 8pm as it was getting dark: There was just one other camper parked nearby.
The view of Bronte Lagoon near our campsites.
Once we got our tents up, it began to rain very lightly like a mist and has continued for a couple hours. It's a soothing sound and I'm trying not to doze off. I have my cozy fleece on and am sure I'll sleep great tonight. Tomorrow, weather should be clear, and we will do the overnight trip up and down Frenchmans Cap. Excited about this one, and quite taking to the freedom and choice of having a car. We both feel like it's a great vacation!
Is that a Cuben tent or is it just the light? If it is it must weigh like a feather.
Really great to see you are really enjoying Tasmania Erin (and Griggs) the Te Araroa just didn't seem to fit well…..but you did anyway. 🙂 It really shows in your story too, a much better read for we armchair bound hikers, well done.
It is a cuben fiber (ZPacks). I think having good weather is key for this though. We are getting lucky finally.
Any funny stories about driving on the other side of the road yet?
Just once Griggs was on the wrong side of the highway and neither of us noticed until another car came a us! Another time in NZ, I didn't realize I parked on the wrong side of the road parallel parking and an annoyed woman walking by told me I'd get a ticket. I totally didn't even realize I'd done it!
I've heard that tourists in NZ are causing serious accidents. I also heard of Kiwis taking the keys away from dangerous tourists. That's probably why this lady was upset when you parked on the wrong side of the road. Kiwis are the nicest people in the world but there are certain things they will not tolerate. Good on Them!
Yeah, we saw tons of it as well.
Erin, it is so cool to see you two just taking it all in stride. Over three-quarters of a year of travel. You're going to have to take a week to rest up once at home; but I bet you are back to work in a day or two!
Yep! I arrive at 8pm, so not working the same day (feeling guilty about that) but working the following day for sure!
So many trail choices and none of them too far apart to jump around. Good for you – the scenery is beautiful. Enjoy that car too.
Erin, as I remember, you get to start decompressing with your sister's family before any return to work.. Lucky nephews get to hear about your adventures ahead of the other kids you will interact with on your jobs.

snow | Wound Up Tight!
Posted on February 15, 2013 by Wound Up Tight!
Well. Last you saw me I had Wallace and Grommit on and I was going to finish it. And I did. And it is in time out. I have knit the top of that dumb thing 3 times. Then I finished it into a short sleeve sweater. And the top is still wrong. STILL WRONG. Still wrong. As in not at all right. Not even close. And this is so sad for so many reasons. I loved that yarn and it's the kind of yarn that is sticky and you can really only pull it out and reknit it so many times before it is no longer the type of yarn you can knit so much as a fuzzy felted fuzz. And even if I did, I cannot bear to do that again right now. I had this panicked thought that I should just cut it up and sew it into potholders or something. Before I got the scissors out and got chopping I had the sense to back away slowly… So sadly it sits in time out until I can get up my sense and do something. I'm thinking I can keep the bottom, rip out the top – AGAIN – and try one last time. I think the problem is it was top down. I can knit bottom up without incident, apparently, but have had little to no success starting at the top and going down. Which makes no sense because it is just the same thing backwards, but such is life.
So since I refuse to show photos of exactly how bad it fits because after all it turns out I have a ** little ** self respect, I will instead show you last weekend. Last weekend, in Boston, we got snowed in. Like honest to goodness can't leave the house snowed in.
I cannot remember the last time I've been actually snowed in. There have been time I've used it as an excuse to stay in, or to eat crackers and peanut butter and ice cream for dinner because I was too lazy to go out in the snow to get proper food. But last weekend for real, there was an honest to goodness driving ban, 2 feet of snow, and based on how the driving was the next day, I think it was good and warranted. I did, of course, make sure we had cookies, because in emergencies, cookies are just about required. And made for a fantastic breakfast of shoveling champions the next day. YUM!
So I spent the majority of the storm sitting with some tea and some cookies and finishing my scrap blanket, which I'm pleased to say is finished and has eaten an ENTIRE bag of scraps! Woot!
And then the shoveling began, which was actually kind of fun. Good times. So with the scrap blanket and the delinquent Wallace and Grommit finished for now, I'm on to bigger and better things. From the bottom up this time.

Last night into this morning we got somewhere around 16″ of snow. It's hard to tell with the winds, but it's a lot of snow. Last night we waited until we had enough on the ground then headed out with our cross country skis. It wasn't the most comfortable ski, but probably one of the most fun.
I kid you not, it was incredibly windy. See the snow storm (sand storm style) on the field?
The woods were beautiful, really. I'm not usually as impressed, and in February I'm sure it won't be quite so pleasing to see, but the snow on the trees and the trails was really calming. And on the way home, came across some sunflowers who were somehow still standing despite the wind and snow.

Three most popular and elegant jewel settings!
The setting not only keeps the stone in place and protects it; but also allows the diamond to give off the best effects. Look at three most common settings.
The first type is bezel, which fully encircles the stone by metal. It makes the jewel look extremely elegant, with simple and clean lines. Bezel setting can go with all types of jewels and cuts. Not only that, it is the safest setting as it keeps the stone fully protected.
Another common setting is prong. This one is highly popular and mostly used in diamond rings. A typical design will have four prongs, but more prongs can be incorporated as well for additional security. Prong allows a good amount of light to touch the stone that creates an amazing effect. However, this is not the best choice when it comes to security of stone.
A very unique setting, channel is an amalgam of bezel and prong. It incorporates the maximum light feature of prong while offering the safety of bezel. In a channel setting, a row of stones is embedded in the metal, curving up and around the stone, creating a groovy effect. This provides excellent security to the main diamond.
The first thing that pops up when we think about bracelets is the delicate wrist of a beautiful matron. Then why do men's diamond bracelets exist at all?
Not only do they exist but they are available in the most precious metals and gemstones, including diamonds.
