Asteroid 'The Rock' To Crash To Earth?🌎


I've always been fascinated about the stars and in fact astronomy is the first subject of interest I got interested during my first visit to a real library back in first year high school & spend most of my time reading astronomy books at our school library. I love the stars first before I love diamonds that's why when designing jewelries astronomy or 'Heavenly Bodies' are my favorite subject or inspiration. 

This brooch/pendant was inspired by 'The Hale Bop Comet', it was the most beautiful astrological phenomenon I've ever seen when I was very young. The first time I saw it in my father's province during a family reunion we where travelling in remote areas where the only lights you could see are the twinkling of the stars & the Moon. Prior to that I've been looking for the 'Hale Bop Comet' in our city for days using visors but couldn't find it. It was only after several days that I finally saw it & it's either at it's best or worst though I remember when I saw it the size already is diminishing according to the news but in the province where there's no constant supply of electricity 'The Hale Bop Comet' looked so dazzling & radiant! Like a bright bluewhite star with fuzzy tail that glows against a dark black night sky probably at 10 pm. I called everyone's attention to look into it & we are all in awe but I was the one who stare at it the longest until it dissapeared from sight while our vehicle was travelling. Such a beautiful sight that stayed on me forever that I immortalized into a wonderful brooch/pendant! 

What about The Rock? Will it be as dazzling? It's been decades since I saw 'The Hale Bop Comet' and I doubt I will see something astronomically beautiful into the skies. It goes to show that many astronomical phenomenon are as rare as natural color diamonds coz the best of the very best only shows up 'Once In A Bluemoon' and the next time that most beautiful of Comet will pass by to Earth will be like 4,000 years from now but then again there's no guarantee.


At 12 carats plus the one in a million fancy vivid blue diamond was sold at auction at well above pre sale estimates of over $48 million dollars or $4 million dollars per carat! Making it the most expensive object on Earth by weight! 


And as for 'The Rock' asteroid? Well I could stay awake till dawn just trying to find its wherabouts in the skies coz I don't wanna miss a thing about this once in a lifetime astronomical event.

November Traditional Birthstone: Imperial Topaz

Image
T opaz is the traditional birthstone for November & it is one of the most popular gem varieties. Although topaz comes in all the colors of the rainbow from one of my personal favorite the very affordable blue topaz which is considered a semi-precious stone  to the very rare imperial topaz varieties considered as precious stones that comes in many different shades of colors except blue & topaz are durable enough to be worn on rings with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. However only a yellow to golden yellow to orange varieties are known as the true birthstone for November. The jewelty industry recently added semi-precious stone Citrine as part of the November birthstone but it has no magical powers to November babies. Topaz comes in many different parts of the world but the finest imperial topaz tends to be exclusively found in fewer places like Russia & Brazil. Alot people confused topaz with citrine and they do have an uncanny similarity e

Practical Materialism💸

Am I Materialistic? That's a wonderful question ladies & gentlemen! Despite my recent aquisition of this extremely rare vivid orange diamond from Leibish & Co. I don't think I am materialistic  because materialistic people only care the most about expensive things and buying them for the sake of their image. Like people who buys a overpriced luxury leather goods or branded items like Havaiinas rubber flip flops over regular rubber flip flops or iPhones versus regular smartphones which work pretty much desame and you still can't fuck both, or people who only takes care of imported expensive breed of dogs or cats and totally avoid regular ordinary pets or those who only wear branded clothes and underwear like Victoria's Secret lingeries which people would never see anyway. These idiots are the real materialistic because they are concerned of their image! They buy unecessary things or spend their money to feed their bruised & fake egos and then show them

Lost Ancient Philippine Goldsmith Technique

Image
Last June  I blogged  about the lost ancient goldsmithing technique of ancient filipinos that no modern jewelers could replicate that are being displayed at The Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas Museum and Ayala Museum in Makati.  Today there is a revival of that lost jewelry making technique but no matter how hard modern jewelers tried to replicate the old ways of jewelry making they cannot copy an exact replica coz they've been missing something that we no longer have in modern times and I have this feeling that the ancient filipino goldsmiths are using ancient alien technology to make elaborate jewelries.  The granulation technique of the ancient filipino jewelries is the best in the history of mankind! Even better than the Etruscans. The tiny well rounded symmetrical granules must have been made by some laser and anti gravity thingy of some sort of  lost ancient alien technology. The fact that the ancient designs could not be totally copied by even he best of modern
