Rare And Scary, Gold Becomes Pricier Than Platinum

Gold Becomes Pricier Than Platinum, That's Rare And Scary

It’s more than “interesting” that platinum prices are lagging gold. Gold has risen nicely since the meltdown following Lehman’s collapse, with the gold price in dollars rising 130%. Until last summer, however, platinum had done better still.

Over the 34 months to August 2011, the white metal rose 150%, recovering faster at first even than the gold price. But it needed to, however, after it dropped two-thirds of its dollar price between March and December 2008.

Eighternity Diamond compared to Hearts and Arrows

In this clip we examine 2 lil honies. Well ... not little. :) The diamond on the left is a 1.70ct E SI2 (totally eye clean) GOG Signature Hearts and Arrows Diamond and the diamond on the right is a 1.87ct D Si2 branded Eighternity Diamond. Eighternity's do an awesome job when it comes to sparkle and fire although the H&A is certainly no slouch. ;)

A custom-made pearl and diamond gold ring

Paris is a well-known destination for luxury shopping, and many international fine jewellery houses can be found in the French capital. But you don’t need to spend a fortune to buy an exclusive and luxurious bijou here, as the City of Light is also home to some exquisite independent and boutique jewellers.

Monsieur Paris (53 rue Charlot, 75003) is a jewellery shop and studio in the hip northern Marais. The boutique’s signature pieces are simple bangles, hoop earrings and band rings made with rose gold, yellow gold and silver, sometimes set with rubies or diamonds. All of the creations are made traditionally by hand in the Parisian boutique -- making each piece unique and authentically French.

December Birth Flower: Narcissus aka Daffodil

Narcissus is from the Narcissistic youth of Greek mythology called Narkissos.
It is mostly common to the Mediterranean region but there are a few found in Asia and China.

The Narcissus has a trumpet shaped corona that is surrounded by a ring of petals. They are also poisonous and can be fatal if eaten so no parts of the flower should be ingested.

Colors:

White
Yellow
Orange

December: Narcissus
Alternate: Holly

Fun and interesting fact: When comparing the Daffodil, Jonquil, and the "Narcissus", it is important to remember that both the Daffodil and Jonquil are a part of the Narcissus genus. However while the names "Daffodil" and "Narcissus" can be used interchangeably, a Jonquil is a completely different plant down to the shape of the petals and leaves.
