OAKLEY GASCAN CHIP FOOSE SIGNATURE SERIES SUNGLASSES

The youngest person ever to be inducted into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame is a visionary who sculpts raw metal into works of art. His design legacy ranges from customs to street rods, and lately it seems his award mantel has as much metal as his garage. We?re honoring Chip Foose, one of the world?s premier automobile designers, with this special edition of Oakley GASCAN® eyewear. Chip?s masterpiece Hot Rod Lincoln was dubbed the "P-32 Street Fighter,? so we screen printed "P-32? along with "FOOSE? inside the stem. The aluminum of the P-32 inspired the frame finish, and the icons combine the military olive color of the hot rod?s interior with the orange of the Foose Design® logo. We fired up our laser to etch "Chip? near the bottom of the lens, a subtle salute to the man who fuels the engine of innovation. We also put matching art on the packaging box, and the eyewear comes with a custom printed Chip Foose MICROCLEAR? bag for lens cleaning and frame storage. Oakley GASCAN® combines the science of patented optics with the art of aggressive styling. The lenses are cut from the curve of a single lens shield then mounted in the frame to maintain the original, continuous contour. Peripheral vision is maximized by XYZ OPTICS®, one of the patented innovations that give HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) its unbeatable clarity. Lightweight O MATTER® frame material offers all-day comfort. Impact protection meets ANSI Z87.1 standards, and our comfortable Three-Point Fit retains the lenses in precise optical alignment.

Whether you are planning a wedding or celebrating the life that you already share with someone, choosing the perfect ring to symbolize your commitment is important. Because cubic zirconia is strong, durable and less expensive than diamonds, it is often worn as an engagement and/or wedding ring.

If you're in the market for a cubic zirconia engagement ring, your first consideration will be the cut of your gemstone. Like all other gemstones, cubic zirconia is available in all of the traditional styles that one would expect from an engagement ring. Among them, round, marquise, princess, emerald, oval, heart, etc. In some cases, an engagement ring may also feature a solitaire accented by smaller gemstones along the band.

Once you've chosen the shape of your cubic zirconia, you will need to think about a preference in carat weight. One of the many benefits to wearing a cubic zirconia engagement ring is achieving believability without spending a fortune. Depending on your preference and budget, you can choose a ring featuring a one-carat solitaire and, for those who really want to be noticed, the larger carat weights will provide the perfect ring.

When it comes to choosing the right cubic zirconia engagement ring, finding the perfect fit is crucial. It's not only important to know your ring size, but it's equally important to consider the design of the ring. A ring that features a wide band or is considerably thick may require that you go up a size for the perfect fit, whereas a slender band will typically fit true to size. If in doubt, visit a jeweler and have your finger sized to ensure a perfect fit. If you order a sterling silver ring that needs only a minor adjustment in the size, most jewelers can easily resize this precious metal for a small fee.

Last but certainly not least, cost is almost always a factor when choosing any type of engagement ring. As mentioned earlier in this article, cubic zirconia is an affordable way to get the look of a flawless gemstone. The size of the solitaire and the amount of metal used in the creation of the ring will have an impact on the final price, which means that sterling silver is an affordable and precious metal to use for any type of ring. In fact, many of today's most popular designs in cubic zirconia engagement rings are created in sterling silver. Because of it's durability, this metal is the perfect compliment to the strength of cubic zirconia.

In conclusion, shopping for an engagement ring is a big step, but it doesn't have to be a tedious one thanks to the convenience of the world wide web. By shopping online, consumers will find a virtual jewelry store at their fingertips. Regardless of the size, shape, design or style, there's something to fit almost every taste and budget.
