The Appraisal

An acquaintance of mine whose daughter was about to be married decided to give her a diamond ring that had been in the family for several generations.

The stone had never been appraised, so the father asked a gemologist friend

if she would take a look at it.

She agreed, but said that instead of a fee she'd accept lunch at one of Houston's finer restaurants.

A few days later, as he and the gem expert sat sipping a glass of Chablis, he showed her the ring.

She took out her jeweler's magnifier, examined the diamond carefully and handed it back.

"Wow," said a tourist who had been watching from the next table.

"These Texas women are tough!"

Thanks Larry!

20 Geek-Inspired Engagement Rings

Mood Rings:

This ring comes with a stone and you can see a change in color with a change in your mood.

Of all these different shades, the top one is violet and the last is black. Here’s a little more about these colors.

violet blue – cheerful, romantic
blue – cool, comfortable
green – normal, nothing much is happening with you
yellow/amber – confused, energized
brown/gray – anxious, concerned
black – damaged ring or cold temperature

It is worth mentioning that these mood rings have been used in a recent research to get an idea of the extent of neurological damage a solider may experience in a battle. There is a lot of promise in this research, and if things continue to move according to plan, you will see color crystals on military uniform that will be used instead of conventional badges. It is supposed that an instant color change after a severe blast will help others know that a solider is in need of immediate medical attention.

Fingerprint Ring:

A perfect keepsake of your friendship and love! Get a pattern of your friend’s fingertips on this hallmark silver band and it will become a precious item of your life.

Bone Ring:

It is easy to find people who always opt for the unique things, even if they are buying a ring. If you are one of those, get this Bone Ring, as there is nothing more unique than your own DNA. These rings are actually made of a person’s bone tissue. Artists and scientists have joined forces to produce this wonderful ring. A tissue is taken from your wisdom tooth and then used to make a ring. Really unique, isn’t? But, unfortunately, the original company website is not functional.

See the rest..
