Uses of Gold in Egypt

Gold in Egypt 3000 BC

In the ancient world gold was the preferred metal for making jewellery. It was rare, did not tarnish and best of all it was malleable, so it could be worked fairly easily.
Magnificent bracelets, pendants, necklaces, rings, armlets, earrings, diadems, head ornaments, pectoral ornaments and collars of gold were all produced in ancient Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs.
Excavations by Howard Carter in 1922 led to the great discovery of Tutankhamun's (known as Feraun to Muslims) tomb and many gold funerary artifacts, all showing the art work of ancient Egypt.

Bangladesh eyes global diamond market

Bangladesh has the potential to grab a significant market share of the global diamond industry as the country has cheap labour and a large pool of jewellery artisans, both essential for the diamond cutting industry , said Mr. Dilip Kumar Agarwal, Managing Director of Diamond World Ltd. www.diamondworldltd.com

Bangladesh approved an international agreement in 2005 that regulates trade in rough diamond exports in a bid to emerge as a new player in the lucrative labour-intensive industry.

‘We’re confident that joining the scheme will make Bangladesh a player in the diamond cutting business since Bangladesh offers the cheapest labour,’ said Sufiya Begum, a deputy director of the Export Promotion Bureau.

Sufiya said Brilliant Diamond, a private company, had already set up a diamond cutting and polishing operation and was waiting for approval for export.

‘We expect more industries to follow as Bangladesh offers opportunities similar to that of India, which is the leader in cut diamond exports,’ she added.

‘This year, our target is to export diamonds worth $50 million,’ said Anwar Hussain, chairman of Brilliant Diamond.

India is the world’s biggest cut and polished diamond exporter, which earned $11.2 billion from this segment last year, according to the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) of India.

The international agreement is aimed at preventing the sale of so-called conflict diamonds that are sold to finance wars, particularly in West Africa. It was agreed in the South African town of Kimberley in November 2002 and came into effect in August 2003.

History of the Black Pearl Necklace

Black pearls were said to be discovered around 1845 from the South Sea and the Mexican coast, though there has been no real documented date of the finding. In the beginning black pearls were considered of less value than the yellow or white pearls. It took about ten years for the pearls to become popular and fashionable. The pearls were first considered a part of fashion in the nineteenth century in Europe. The Empress Eugenie of France wore a black pearl necklace. During this times the value of black pearls was high because of their rarity.

Royal families have loved pearls for years. The Egyptians, Romans, and Arabians have all prized pearls over all other gems in their history. Egyptian love for decorative pearls were in effect since 4200 B.C. Pearls were a pivotal role in an important documented dinner between Cleopatra and Marc Anthony.

Black pearls are currently very costly because they are now of high demand as jewellery. The black pearl necklace is available in both cultured black pearl and natural black pearl. Cultured black pearls are a little more expensive because it requires more labor on these pearls. They are assisted by expert pearl farmers. Where natural pearls are obtained straight from their host shell.

Generally the color of a pearl is the same color of the shell. The color of the pearl corresponds with the point of the shell at which it was formed. There are several theories on the coloration of a pearl. Once upon a time dew was considered a reason for pearl coloration. Fair weather formed white pearls and cloudy weather formed dark or black pearls. People then began to believe that color was influenced from water depth. In deep water they were white and in shallow water where sunlight could penetrate, dark pearls were formed. It then advanced to the belief that location was the reason for dark pearls. In waters with dark mud dark, pearls formed.

diamonds has sold for a record-breaking $46 million (£29m)

One of the world's rarest diamonds has sold for a record-breaking $46 million (£29m), the highest price ever paid for a jewel.

The 24.78-carat "fancy intense pink" diamond was sold to a well-known British dealer at an auction in Geneva.
Bidding at the Sotheby's auction was said to be fierce, and the sale surpassed expectations.
Last sold by a New York jeweller 60 years ago, the gem has been kept in a private collection ever since.
The diamond had been expected to command at least £625,000 per carat.
The previous record for a jewel at auction was set by a blue 35.56 carat diamond which sold for £15.2m at auction in 2008.
"This is the highest price ever bid for a jewel at auction," said David Bennett, the head of Sotheby's jewellery division, as the auction room in Geneva's luxury Beau Rivage hotel broke into applause.
It was bought by top diamond trader Laurence Graff, who bid by telephone, Sotheby's said.
'Alluring sparkle' The auction house said it sold jewels worth a total of £66m - a world record for a single sale.

End Quote David Bennett Sotheby's

Five hundred lots were on sale, including jewellery that belonged to Christina Onassis and Cristina Ford - who was married to Henry Ford II, grandson of the founder of the Ford Motor Company.

"I think this tells you a bit about the health of the market," Mr Bennett told reporters afterwards.
He said the pink stone - which is described as having an emerald cut with gently rounded corners - had a "soft sensual feel".
Pink diamonds of such a size are extremely rare.
"There's only one or two other stones I've seen like this in the 35 years I've been doing this job," said Mr Bennett. "I just love it."
BBC Geneva correspondent Imogen Foulkes said it was a "beautiful, rosy pink with an alluring sparkle".
