The Most Influential Movie To My Life🚢


No other movie influenced me the most than TITANIC. The movie totally changed my perspective in life in so many ways. It made me a gem nut and eventually professionally studied gemology, design & sell jewelries. It's all because of my fascination for the 'Heart Of The Ocean Necklace'.💙

Though in the movie the necklace was nothing but a prop but the worldwide impact it made is epic and it helped promoted natural color diamonds to the limelight & countless of jewelers made their replica of the necklace. TITANIC became the most popular movie of all times worldwide and a classic that even up to now it is still being watched & still a film of great significance.

The maker of the 'Heart Of The Ocean Necklace' decided to make a real necklace but using a Ceylon blue sapphire instead of the extremely rare blue diamond as the only heart shape blue diamond in existence fit for the design is the 27 carat fancy vivid blue 'Heart Of Eternity' diamond & it's not for sale.


Celine Dion wore the real 'Heart Of The Ocean Necklace' to the 1998 Oscars Academy Awards when she sang her award winning TITANIC theme song 'My Heart Will Go On'. Back then that necklace was worth $1.2 million dollars & later sold at a charity auction for $2.2 million dollars.

Gerard & Asprey the maker of the prop 'Heart Of The Ocean Necklace' decided to make a real version using a 171 carat heart shape blue Ceylon sapphire & 103 carats of diamonds mounted in platinum necklace worn here by Oscar winner Celine Dion. The necklace was sold for $2.2 million dollars to an anonymous buyer from a charity auction. Though it is not the most expensive necklace ever worn at the Oscars it is certainly the most popular.


Not known to many Harry Winston also made a more expensive version of 'The Heart Of The Ocean Necklace' using a real 15 carat blue diamond though it isn't heart shape & from the looks of it the color of the blue diamond is either intense or vivid. Due to the rarity of blue diamonds this Harry Winston version is valued at $20 million dollars back then! 10 times more expensive than what Celine Dion wore & Gloria Stuart who played Old Rose & a Oscar nominee also wore this during the Academy Awards in 1998. In the video below when James Cameron accepted the Oscars Best Picture & Best Director trophies for his film TITANIC the $20 million dollars blue diamond necklace Gloria Stuart wore is clearly visible from the front row. 


Many people are asking where are these incredible pieces of jewelry now? Well we don't know coz the buyers of such expensive things usually choosed to remain anonymous. If ever they will wear it in public it will be obvious so most likely they're locked inside a safe & treated as an investment. Both 'Heart Of The Ocean Necklaces' are worth far more today and with the popularity of the movie TITANIC once these jewelry pieces comes out in public either for sale at an auction or to be displayed it will surely make a worldwide sensation & that's the power of rare special gems & a dash of movie magic. ✨

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
