I was walking down the hallways of a mall when I got tired. I needed to get a couple of minutes rest before heading home. There were couches lined in the middle of the hallway. I noticed that a lot of people also noticed the couches and were congregating towards them just like I did. I then found time to relax and sat down for a bit. I needed to tune everything out. To prevent my head from aching, I had to take deep breaths. I need to eat, I told myself, so that the traces of headache would be halted in its tracks. So I opened my eyes, intending to go to a fast food chain, when I noticed a sale sign just to the right of where I was sitting. I got my eyeglasses and saw unusual engagement rings uk and other beautiful rings for sale.
I'm going to tell my niece about this store, I told myself. But when I got home, I immediately fell asleep. And telling my niece about my treasure find completely escaped me. Two weeks later, I got a text message from my niece. She wanted me to go to the mall with her. I readily agreed. I also told her about the jewelry store I saw that were selling rings at a discount. When we checked it out, they were having a month-long sale and everything inside were on sale.
I wanted to check out engagement rings that were unusual in design. My eyes went directly to a stunning ring. I asked the lady to let me hold the ring. She got it from the display cabinet and handed it to me. I told my niece niece to look at the colored center stone. It looked like a champagne-colored diamond or sapphire. But the shop assistant confirmed that it was a sapphire. Little diamonds are flanking the center stone. Each ring shoulder features a diamond, too. There were diamonds aligned at the band too. The band of the ring is inlaid with mokume gane, which gives the ring its allure.
I asked what mokume gane is so the lady asked her supervisor to resolve our query. He said mokume gane was a Japanese technique formulated centuries ago. Metals are layered producing beautiful patterns. The Japanese used this process on their katanas or sword blades. It was later used on jewelry when sword-making was in decline. We thanked him for the specifics.
I was so intrigued by mokume gane that I got my tab and searched for it. What the supervisor said was true. I also found out that combining platinum, sterling silver, and 14 karat white gold with palladium can lead to combination of light gray, medium gray, and white. The combination of 18 karat yellow gold, 14 karat white gold, and sterling silver will result in yellow and medium gray combination. The white and gray combination are the result of adding 14 karat white gold with palladium and sterling. There are still many combinations to select from. I asked for the store's phone number and the supervisor gave it me. He said contact us to reserve the rings we like.
