One can only imagine the creative abilities of a Neandrathal from 130,000 years ago. Well actually, we can do more than imagine. Witness their jewelry making abilities below. (The Neandrathals appear to be more stylish than one would think. I may have seen a similar necklace at Burning Man.)
Long before they shared the landscape with modern humans, Neanderthals in Europe developed a sharp sense of style, wearing eagle claws as jewelry, new evidence suggests.
Researchers identified eight talons from white-tailed eagles — including four that had distinct notches and cut marks — from a 130,000-year-old Neanderthal cave in Croatia. They suspect the claws were once strung together as part of a necklace or bracelet.
Red diamonds are rare…very rare. These “gemologist’s dreams” range in shades of red but all are entirely amazing and captivating. Remember, in this day and age, you can have lab-created diamonds (including fancy colored) for a mere fraction of the price.
I just loved this JCK post celebrating one of my personal favorite earrings: hoops. They look good on just about any woman, stay put on your ear comfortably, and express a sense of movement and flow. And apparently, they’re making a comeback!
Here are some of the latest and greatest in hoop earrings. If any appeal to you, we’d be happy to custom design your own personal hoops.
One can only imagine the utter thrill and excitement archaeologists must feel when uncovering items from thousands of years ago. These items consist of a rare cache of jewelry and silver coins, minted during from the reign of Alexander the Great, and have been discovered in a stalactite filled cave in northern Israel.
Two coins of Alexander of Macedon, three rings, four bracelets, two decorated earrings, three other earrings, probably made of silver, and a small stone weight.
Nested in the clay oil lamp, the agate stones are extremely well preserved, as if they were brand new.
Today’s a big day in the tech world. The Apple watch will be previewed Monday at a press event in San Francisco. Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to lead the presentation, followed by other Apple execs and developers who will explain apps they’ve created for the watch.
So will it take off? Doesn’t your smartphone do the job of an Apple watch even easier? Only time will tell (get it? Time? Watch?)
