Hur lång tid bör gå från förlovning till bröllop

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. Today, the engagement ring has partly lost its "function": few people choose a life partner by wealth. 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.…

Vad färgen på guld beror på

Guld som används i smyckesindustrin är faktiskt en legering av guld och andra metaller. Detta beror främst på att rent guld är ett material som är för mjukt. Tillsatsen av ligaturer gör det möjligt att uppnå vissa kemiska och fysikaliska egenskaper, vilket gör ädelmetallen lämplig för tillverkning av smycken som är motståndskraftiga mot deformation. Ligaturer påverkar också legeringens färg. Beroende på i vilken proportion de tillsattes till guld kan du få en legering i olika färger. Den exakta sammansättningen av legeringen bestäms av GOST 30649-99 och GOST P 51152-98, som reglerar proportionerna av metaller som läggs till guld. Legeringar är märkta med bokstäver och siffror. Guld betecknas med "Zl", silver med "Sr", koppar med "M", zink med "Ts", platina med "Pl", palladium med "Pd" och nickel med "N". Siffran anger mängden tillsatta föroreningar (%). Till exempel är guld ZlSrM 585-80 585 guld, med 8% silver och 33,5% koppar tillsatt. De vanligaste färgerna på guld I smyckesindustrin,...

What to do in a situation if you lost your engagement ring

An engagement ring is a piece of jewelry that a man presents to a girl on the day of engagement. If the girl accepts the ring, the engagement is considered to have taken place, and the participants of the action acquire the status of bride and groom.

Hürrem Sultan’s ring from The Magnificent Century.

Fig 1. The ring of Hürrem Sultan from "The Magnificent Century" series They say that fairy tales are for babies, the best way to spend the evening with mom and a great sleeping pill for restless babies. 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?
