Πόσος χρόνος πρέπει να περάσει από τον αρραβώνα μέχρι τον γάμο

Figure 1. How long should the wedding be after the engagement Engagement is the moment when a young man makes a marriage proposal to his beloved, and she gives her consent to the future marriage. From that moment on, they are considered "engaged". Historically, at this moment a man presents a ring as a presentation. Upon consenting to the marriage, the girl accepts it. Initially, such a gift carried two main functions: on the one hand, it showed the welfare of the groom. According to the value of the ring, the bride's relatives determined how wealthy the young man was and whether he would be able to provide for the future of the family. On the other hand, the engagement ring on the girl's finger informed the whole circle that she was not free.

And the presence of jewelry on the finger of a young lady is not always indicative of her status: it can be just a piece of jewelry.…

Από τι εξαρτάται το χρώμα του χρυσού

Gold used in the jewelry industry is actually an alloy of gold and other metals. This is mainly due to the fact that pure gold is a material that is too soft. The addition of ligatures makes it possible to achieve certain chemical and physical properties, making the noble metal suitable for making jewelry that is resistant to deformation. Ligatures also affect the color of the alloy. Depending on the proportion in which they were added to gold, you can get an alloy of different colors. The exact composition of the alloy is determined by GOST 30649-99 and GOST P 51152-98, which regulate the proportions of metals added to gold. Alloys are labeled with letters and numbers. Gold is labeled as "Zl", silver as "Sr", Copper as "M", zinc as "Ts", platinum as "Pl", Palladium as "Pd", and nickel as "N". The number denotes the % of impurities added. For example, gold ZlSrM 585-80 is 585 gold, with 8% silver and 33.5% copper added. The most common colors of gold In the jewelry industry,…

But is it so? And if so, why did millions of people every week stuck to the TV screen to immerse themselves once again in a luxurious oriental tale about a sultan and his red-haired slave girl? Why for years crowds of women (and men too, let's be honest) discussed the twists and turns of the fates of the beautiful Hürrem, the formidable Suleyman and the sultan's harem? Of course, the series "The Magnificent Century" - not quite a fairy tale, and is based on real events.
