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. ✨

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

PDU30 2nd State Of The Nation Address👊

Image
Today is President Rodrigo Roa Duterte's 2nd State Of The Nation Address or SONA. As expected his speech is long and entertaining to the delight of the live audience and those wathching on tv like me. He addressed about his accomplishments & what are the most important things his administration should prioritize such as elimination of destructive mining, creating jobs, healthcare and the traffic problem as well as putting a stop on rebellion, insurgencies, terrorism and the passage of the death penalty bill. He also addresed the nation on those that needs further strenghtening such as the 'war on drugs', criminalities and corruption.  But the truth is I don't really need to hear what he's done or continue to do and what he accomplished coz over 85% of the Filipino people felt the change he promised during the election & year after he sat into office we are satisfied with what he is doing to our country and we trust him that what he does and will do is

My Bet For Miss World Philippines 2017 👑

Image
Miss World Philippines 2017 pageant night is tommorow and for the first time since 2011 this pageant doesn't have a sure winner coz there is at least 4 to 5 who can win the major title of Miss World Philippines 2017! The other 3 minor crowns are oh well minor & I can't even memorize what they are. The MWP has a new pageant director Arnold Vegafria a popular talent manager in The Philippines since Cory Quirino decided to let go of the Miss World Philippines franchise after she felt as well as the overwhelming majority thinks Catriona Gray was deliberately robbed from the Miss World 2016 pageant last year which caused the Miss World Organization to lose their appeal worldwide especially to the Filipinos. But Julia Morley, the current Miss World Stephanie del Valle and Mister World Rohit, including the grandson of Nelson Mandela  & the rest of the Miss World Organization are ass kissing us here in The Philippines for winning the hearts of the BIGGEST pageant fans in t
