Diamond is earth’s hardest natural mineral. Because it does not get destroyed very easily, it is useful as a gem; a precious stone. However more than its hardness, radiant beauty is sight to behold from anywhere you choose to behold it. Even the tiniest diamonds still glow with radiant beauty anytime.

The way into a woman’s heart is to get her a diamond rock on a ring. Or you could get her a necklace of top quality diamonds that sparkle like the stars in the sky. No, brighter. The kiss you get will probably be the best you have had since you asked her to marry you!

Introduction to the Cultured Pearl

Saturday, November 8th, 2008
by Arsene Gibson

A diver glides through the water. He cuts an oyster off the base of a rock cropping. On the surface, he opens the shell and inside is a beautiful oyster. Although a great vision, this is not how most pearls come to be.

A pearl is considered an elegant and sophisticated piece of jewelry, but the way it is formed is anything but. A tiny bit of foreign material gets into the oyster or mollusk. The animal reacts by surrounding it with nacre.

Once you take a look at some of the history of the spoon and the various different kind of spoons that exist in our world, you might be a little surprised the next time that you see one sitting so quietly next to your dinner plate!

Prongs: Forks In Time

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
by Herbert Reich

Though for most of their history, forks have been available only in Europe and America. Though forks have not been popularly used in Asia, there is evidence that in fact they were used in China long before the use of chopsticks. Evidence of this seems to come from recent finds in Qijia Dynasty tombs. However, forks are readily becoming more popular in East Asia. The word itself is derived from the Latin term for pitchforks. There are references to them in the Bible and in Greek texts. However, they were not commonly used for eating.

Initially, most people in early Europe only used the spoon and the knife. Food was often eaten with the hands, and a common spoon was only sued when needed. Aristocrats had daintier manners, and might hold two knives for cutting and moving food to the mouth. Spoons were used for broth and soups. Forks were a major improvement, since they allowed meat to be easily held in one place, and for pieces of food to be shaken off, removing extra liquid or sauce. That made eating with a fork a much neater proposition than eating with even two knives.
