Jewellery

Jewellery    is a form of personal adornment, manifesting itself as necklaces, rings, brooches, earrings and bracelets. Jewellery may be made from any material, usually gemstones, precious metals or shells. Factors affecting the choice of materials include cultural differences and the availability of the materials. Jewellery may be appreciated because of its material properties, its patterns or for meaningful symbols. Jewellery differs from other items of personal adornment in that it has no other purpose than to look appealing. Items such as belts and handbags are considered to be accessories rather than jewellery.

The word jewellery is derived from the word jewel, which was Anglicised from the Old French "jouel" circa the 13th century.  Further tracing leads back to the Latin word "jocale", meaning plaything. Jewellery is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently-found 100,000-year-old beads made from Nassarius shells are thought to be the oldest known jewelery .

Jewellery is sometimes regarded as a way of showing wealth and might also possess some minimal functionality, such as holding a garment together or keeping hair in place. It has from very early times been regarded as a form of personal adornment. The first pieces of jewellery were made from natural materials, such as bone, animal teeth, shell, wood and carved stone. Some jewellery throughout the ages may have specifically been as an indication of a social group. More exotic jewellery is often for wealthier people, with its rarity increasing its value. Due to its personal nature and its indication of social class, some cultures established traditions of burying the dead with their jewellery.

Jewellery has been made to adorn nearly every body part, from hairpins to toe rings and many more types of jewellery. While traditional jewellery is usually made with gemstones and precious metals, such as silver or gold, there is also a growing demand for art jewellery where design and creativity is prized above material value. In addition, there is the less costly costume jewellery, made from lower value materials and often mass-produced. Other variations include wire sculpture(wrap) jewellery, using anything from base metal wire with rock tumbled stone to precious metals and precious gemstones.

Form and function

Jewelery has been used for a number of reasons:

• Currency, wealth display and storage,
• Functional use (such as clasps, pins and buckles)
• Symbolism (to show membership or status)
• Protection (in the form of amulets and magical wards) .
• Artistic display

Most cultures have at some point had a practice of keeping large amounts of wealth stored in the form of jewellery. Numerous cultures move wedding dowries in the form of jewelery, or create jewellery as a means to store or display coins. Alternatively, jewellery has been used as a currency or trade good; an example being the use of slave beads. 

Many items of jewellery, such as brooches and buckles originated as purely functional items, but evolved into decorative items as their functional requirement diminished .

Jewellery can also be symbolic of group membership, as in the case of the Christian crucifix orJewish Star of David, or of status, as in the case of chains of office, or the Western practice ofmarried people wearing a wedding ring.

Wearing of amulets and devotional medals to provide protection or ward off evil is common in somecultures; these may take the form of symbols (such as the ankh), stones, plants, animals, body parts (such as the Khamsa), or glyphs (such as stylised versions of the Throne Verse in Islamic art) .

Although artistic display has clearly been a function of jewellery from the very beginning, the other roles described above tended to take primacy . It was only in the late 19th century, with the work of such masters as Peter Carl Fabergé and René Lalique, that art began to take primacy over function and wealth.  This trend has continued into modern times, expanded upon by artists such asRobert Lee Morris, Ed Levin, and Alberto Repossi.

Materials and methods

In creating jewellery, gemstones, coins, or other precious items are often used, and they are typically set into precious metals. Alloys of nearly every metal known have been encountered in jewellery - bronze, for example, was common in Roman times. Modern fine jewellery usually includes gold, white gold, platinum, palladium, titanium or silver. Most American and European gold jewellery is made of an alloy of gold, the purity of which is stated in karats, indicated by a number followed by the letter K. American gold jewellery must be of at least 10K purity (41.7% pure gold), (though in the UK the number is 9K (37.5% pure gold) and is typically found up to 18K (75% pure gold). Higher purity levels are less common with alloys at 22 K (91.6% pure gold), and 24 K (99.9% pure gold) being considered too soft for jewellery use in America and Europe. These high purity alloys, however, are widely used across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.  Platinum alloys range from 900 (90% pure) to 950 (95.0% pure). The silver used in jewellery is usually sterling silver, or 92.5% fine silver. In costume jewellery, stainless steel findings are sometimes used.

Other commonly used materials include glass, such as fused-glass or enamel; wood, often carved or turned; shells and other natural animal substances such as bone and ivory; natural clay;polymer clay; and even plastics. Hemp and other twines have been used as well to create jewellery that has more of a natural feel. However, any inclusion of lead or lead solder will cause an English Assay office (the building which gives English jewellery its stamp of approval, theHallmark) to destroy the piece. 

Beads are frequently used in jewellery. These may be made of glass, gemstones, metal, wood, shells, clay and polymer clay. Beaded jewellery commonly encompasses necklaces, bracelets,earrings, belts and rings. Beads may be large or small; the smallest type of beads used are known as seed beads, these are the beads used for the "woven" style of beaded jewellery. Another use of seed beads is an embroidery technique where seed beads are sewn onto fabric backings to create broad collar neck pieces and beaded bracelets. Bead embroidery, a popular type of handwork during the Victorian era is enjoying a renaissance in modern jewellery making. Beading, or beadwork, is also very popular in many African cultures.

Advanced glass and glass beadmaking techniques by Murano and Venetian glassmastersdeveloped crystalline glass, enamelled glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (goldstone), multicoloured glass (millefiori), milk-glass (lattimo) and imitation gemstones made of glass.  As early as the 13th century, Murano glass and Murano beads were popular. 

Silversmiths, goldsmiths, and lapidaries methods include forging, casting, soldering or welding, cutting, carving and "cold-joining" (using adhesives, staples and rivets to assemble parts).

Diamonds

Diamonds were first mined in India. Pliny may have mentioned them, although there is some debate as to the exact nature of the stone he referred to as Adamas;  In 2005, Australia,Botswana, Russia and Canada ranked among the primary sources of gemstone diamond production. 

The British crown jewels contain the Cullinan Diamond, part of the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found (1905), at 3,106.75 carats (621.35 g).

Now popular in engagement rings, this usage dates back to the marriage of Maximilian I to Mary of Burgundy in 1477.

Other gemstones

Many precious and semiprecious stones are used for jewellery. Among them are:

Amber

Amber, an ancient organic gemstone, is composed of tree resin that has hardened over time. The stone must be at least one million years old to be classified as amber, and some amber can be up to 120 million years old.

Amethyst

Amethyst has historically been the most prized gemstone in the quartz family. It is treasured for its purple hue, which can range in tone from light to dark.

Emerald

Emeralds are one of the three main precious gemstones (along with rubies and sapphires) and are known for their fine green to bluish green colour. They have been treasured throughout history, and some historians report that the Egyptians mined emerald as early as 3500 BC.

Jade

Jade is most commonly associated with the colour green, but can come in a number of other colours as well. Jade is closely linked to Asian culture, history, and tradition, and is sometimes referred to as the stone of heaven.

Jasper

Jasper is a gemstone of the chalcedony family that comes in a variety of colours. Often, jasper will feature unique and interesting patterns within the coloured stone. Picture jasper is a type of jasper known for the colours (often beiges and browns) and swirls in the stone’s pattern.

Quartz

Quartz refers to a family of crystalline gemstones of various colours and sizes. Among the well-known types of quartz are rose quartz (which has a delicate pink colour), and smoky quartz (which comes in a variety of shades of translucent brown). A number of other gemstones, like Amethyst and Citrine, are also part of the quartz family. Rutilated quartz is a popular type of quartz containing needle-like inclusions.

Ruby

Rubies are known for their intense red colour, and are among the most highly valued precious gemstones. Rubies have been treasured for millennia. In Sanskrit, the word for ruby is ratnaraj, meaning king of precious stones.

Sapphire

The most popular form of sapphire is blue sapphire, which is known for its medium to deep blue colour and strong saturation. Fancy coloured sapphires in various colours are also available. In the United States, blue sapphire tends to be the most popular and most affordable of the three major precious gemstones (emerald, ruby and sapphire).

Turquoise

Turquoise is found in only a few places on earth, and the world’s largest turquoise producing region is the southwest United States. Turquoise is prized for its attractive colour, most often an intense medium blue or a greenish blue, and its ancient heritage. Turquoise is used in a great variety of jewellery styles. It is perhaps most closely associated with southwest and Native American jewellery, but it is also used in many sleek, modern styles. Some turquoise contains a matrix of dark brown markings, which provides an interesting contrast to the gemstone’s bright blue colour.

Some gemstones (like pearls, coral, and amber) are classified as organic, meaning that they are produced by living organisms. Others are inorganic, meaning that they are generally composed of and arise from minerals. 

Some gems, for example, amethyst, have become less valued as methods of extracting and importing them have progressed. Some man-made gems can serve in place of natural gems, an example is the cubic zirconia, used in place of the diamond.

Treasure Island

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "pirates and buried gold". First published as a book on 23rd May 1883, it was originally serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881–82 under the title Treasure Island; or, the mutiny of the Hispaniola and the pseudonym Captain George North.

Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, it is an adventure tale known for its atmosphere, character and action, and also a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality—as seen in Long John Silver—unusual for children's literature then and now. It is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.^[1]

Top 10 Best Forms Of Entertainment For Men

We are fortunate in South Africa to be blessed with stunning weather, a diverse environment and first-world amenities, so top notch entertainment is not hard to come by. Here's a brief look at the top 10 forms of entertainment for the men in our lives...and the progressive ladies too!

Golf - South Africa has a brilliant array of top class golf courses studded around the country. Whether your preference is for a links course where the strong sea breezes determine the flight of the ball, or a parklands course set in the bush of the Kruger National Park, where a hazard can be a crocodile instead of a bunker, you're in luck – we have it all.

Racing F1 speedsters – If the languid lines and raw speed of formula one racing cars turn you on, then head for Kyalami or Zwartkops race track in Johannesburg, or Killarney in Cape Town and put foot. Fantastic Racing actually hires out race cars, offering a heart-thumping, adrenaline-pumping chance of a life time!

Air shows – Show me a man who doesn't love to tinker with big boy's toys and dream of roaring upwards at mach speed.

Big five safari – There is nothing better than a sojourn in the bush where the timeless quality of life is a reminder that we should take time out and smell the roses..em...the elephant dung perhaps?

Hot air ballooning – Is there a better way of watching the sun rise over the Magaliesberg than from a bird's eye view with a flute of champers (or perhaps a beer) in hand?

LAN Games – While most men won't care to admit it, they still love to play games with the boys, computers hooked up, gunning each other down in team-based games like the popular Call of Duty 4 or similar games of combat. Others prefer flying solo on their PS3.

Watching sport – For some men, this one would probably be right at the top. Live is best, but TV or on a pub's big screen is good enough. My daddy used to say: "If I can't watch, bury me."

Movies – There is no shortage of excellent films out there, so whatever your genre, head for the big screen.

Eating out – Steak, egg and chips...that's the way to a man's heart. Don't despair though, South Africa has an enormous range of culinary alternatives from Thai to traditional & Japanese to junk!

Shark cage diving – Only the fearless.

Forms of Energy

Energy comes in six forms:  chemical energy, electrical energy, radiant energy, mechanical energy, nuclear energy and thermal energy.  These six forms of energy are all related.  Each form can be converted or changed into the other forms.  For example, when wood burns, its chemical energy changes into thermal (heat) energy and radiant (light) energy.

Not all energy conversions are as simple as burning wood.  An automobile engine is a complex tool that converts the chemical energy in a fuel into mechanical energy, the energy of motion.

 

Energy stored in the bonds between atoms in moleculesis chemical energy.
For example, in photosynthesis plants take in radiant energy from sunlight.  This solar energy is stored in complex chemical compounds such as starches and sugars.  The stored energy is released when these compounds break down into simpler compounds.
When you eat plant or animal tissue, your digestive system adds chemicals called enzymes that help break down the food.  Digestion converts stored energy in food to other forms of energy that your body can use, such as mechanical energy to walk across the room.
Many energy sources commonly used by humans are forms of chemical energy.  They are usually labeled "fuels."  The way to use the chemical energy in most fuels is by burning them, as we do with wood, natural gas, gasoline, coal, and others.  When these fuels burn, they give off heat, because the chemical reaction called combustion is an exothermic reaction.  That is, the reaction releases thermal energy in the form of heat.
Some chemicals contain a great deal of energy that can be released all at once.  These chemicals are called explosives.  For example, when dynamite explodes, its chemical energy changes very quickly into thermal and radiant energy and transfers from a potential state to a kinetic state.
