its famous 128.54-carat yellow Tiffany Diamond in a spectacular
diamond-and-platinum necklace and sent it on a world tour. It has been set in a diamond-and-platinum necklace featuring 481 sparkling stones totaling 120 carats. And now it is coming to their flagship boutique in The Dubai Mall, where it will be showcased from December 13 alongside with Elizabeth Taylor's Fleur de Mer Clip and the yellow diamond necklace worn by Kate Winslet to the 2010 Oscars, which will be on sale for approximately Dhs 11,025,000 (2,323,440 euros). Are you as curious as me to see who will buy it?<br />
If you are in Dubai in December, do go and see this amazing diamond, one of the largest yellow diamonds ever discovered. The stone is just over an inch wide and seven-eighths of an inch from
top to bottom. Cut to enhance its radiant color rather than size, the
diamond sparkles as if lit by an inner flame.<br />
The Tiffany diamond has been set on four previous occasions. The most famous ones were the “Ribbon Rosette” necklace worn by Audrey Hepburn to promote <i>Breakfast at Tiffany’s</i>, and a piece called “Bird on a Rock”, which was the star of Tiffany exhibition in London.<br />
It will be exhibited in its newest setting in The Dubai Mall until January 9, 2013.<br />

Must be the change of location. Not to mention that nearly every American person around here has a blog. Must be a pandemic! This new chapter of my blog originates from the belief that under the black veil of sheilas and abayas there is a rich color and texture to explore. I guess only time will show if I will be able to deliver:)lightkeepinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991735041006567224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767505873478755570.post-27710528142146607972010-07-11T22:27:00.001+01:002010-07-11T22:32:01.484+01:00An apple a day....Do you know the saying "An apple a day will keep doctor at bay"? And do you follow this advice? I must confess I don't as I don't really like apples too much and prefer various berries. So now I am enjoying strawberries, blueberries, rasberries and am looking forward to blackberries to ripe. However, I do love the colors of apples very much. Especially the green apples. This is why I have decided to create <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/32341822/handmade-green-lampwork-bracelet-apple">an apple green glass bracelet</a>. The beads I used look like apple candy and seem to be tasty enough to lick. However, it is designed to be worn, not licked;) And I do believe that wearing something inspired by nature and pleasant to the eye can also be beneficial for health. Positive emotions are crucial for feeling good after all:)<br />

So for those of you who like baking too and can read in Russian, <a href="http://kuking.net/my/viewalbum.php?a=281&sid=bc956707c2a306daff204bd57f56f107">here is a recipe</a> of a very delicious and also a very simple apple cake. All you need for the cake is apples, eggs, sugar and flower. For 3 eggs 1 cup of sugar and one cup of flower are needed. Beat the eggs, add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture becomes white. Then gradually beat in the flower. Pour the dough onto the precut apples and cook until ready. Apples can be substituted with peaches, pears, plums, rhubarb or berries. Really simple and delicious:)lightkeepinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991735041006567224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767505873478755570.post-90257604741949668262010-07-05T14:06:00.001+01:002010-07-06T20:37:41.417+01:00Hop on the Rainbow!We have been having amazing weather in Ireland lately. A couple of days ago I was travelling home and saw a bright double rainbow in the sky. I was so upset I had no camera with me. However, when I came back home I remembered that I had some colorful lampwork beads and I decided to recreate the rainbow in jewelry. And this is how <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50468565/handmade-lampwork-bracelet-hop-on-the">Hop on the Rainbow bracelet</a> was created. It can be matched with virtually any outfit for an instant brightening up. Same way as a rainbow in the sky makes everyone smile regardless of their initial mood. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmvCJ5gVH3qYZqEj3KP5KS8F8JA-VeLWIPaLy61XH4XdshXQj17qixQ8Fime7uxsIvSAXzIn6ZgtowKZQi-HjSNbpgSZQr1RE7GYTWtnlK7RsZSR-DUn43ae2PZiqRjmrq8bOYHiEmwr_M/s1600/hop+on+the+rainbow+bracelet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmvCJ5gVH3qYZqEj3KP5KS8F8JA-VeLWIPaLy61XH4XdshXQj17qixQ8Fime7uxsIvSAXzIn6ZgtowKZQi-HjSNbpgSZQr1RE7GYTWtnlK7RsZSR-DUn43ae2PZiqRjmrq8bOYHiEmwr_M/s400/hop+on+the+rainbow+bracelet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I also made matching earrings. It was a double rainbow after all:) <br />
There is something special about rainbows I think. Do you like rainbows? And do you know all the colors that a rainbow has?<br />

Karen's creations are designed in the hopes of igniting that special spark of uniqueness that lies within us all. Some things are elegant, some are fun, some are outlandish, some are colorful, some are calming - but the great thing is that she knows there is someone out there who will recognize something that just makes them feel good about themselves!<br />
<br />
Her shop sections are organized by theme because when it comes to taste, one size or style doesn't fit all - and the accessories and gifts that we buy as well as the jewelry we wear is all important in achieving that perfect "fit." How clever is that!<br />
<br />
There are so many items in Karen's shop that I love, I'll show you 5 of them, and the rest you have to see for yourself because it's a total must to see her shop and to heart it for future presents to your beloved ones and yourself.<br />

This not only feels like an approval that your items and their photographs are good enough, but also converts into more views, hearts and even sales. And when an Etsy member composes a treasury, the ultimate dream remains the same - the Front Page. And my treasury finally made it:)<br />
<br />
Click on the photo of the treasury and it will take you to Craftcult, where you will be able to click on the items in the treasury that you like and will be taken to them.<br />

And these Hungarian kids were marching in the parade behind our group with their school. They were so cute and really eager to pose.<br />

Participating in the parade is great fun. There is one down side though, you do not get to actually see the parade, only the groups that are close to you. So I have never seen the parade yet, because every time I go to it as a participant!:)<br />
Has there been a parade today where you live? Was it fun? Did you enjoy watching it? Or maybe you participated in it too?lightkeepinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991735041006567224noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767505873478755570.post-7884090910957041802010-03-15T09:47:00.000+00:002010-03-15T09:47:01.479+00:00How to Embed a Document in Your Blog - Explanation and ExampleRecently Justin Smyth posted <a href="http://meylah.com/blog/198/How-to-Embed-a-Document-in-Your-Blog">an explanation how to embed a document on one's blog</a>. It's supa easy and any kind of document can be shared in this way including word, power point and adobe documents. To do this go to <a href="http://www.scribd.com/">Scribd</a> website. It works very similarly to the way youtube works for videos. One's you have uploaded your document and filled the headwords and details if you want your document to be easily found by others, hit on the title of your document to open it on the website. Then hit share function over the document to get the code. So easy!<br />
<br />
So here is my attempt to do this. This is an extract of my presentation on <a href="http://www2.kenyon.edu/AngloSaxonRiddles/texts.htm">Exeter Riddles</a>. I think I will make a powerpoint presentation for my jewellery some time soon:)<br />

Jan has recently opened a new shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/theworddoctor">The Word Doctor</a>. As she writes on her blog, some years ago, between quitting her regular job and doing what she is doing now, Jan spent 6 years self-employed as a freelance writer, editor, resume preparer, critique giver - all things word-related. That is why she decided to open the new shop. She offers <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42128599">best shop forward critique</a> which will point to better sales by improving one's shop's overall communication in the announcements, profile, and policies sections; <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41996972">better blog critique </a>which will improve one's blog's readability and attractiveness; <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41955573">quick product critique</a> helping to improve one's product display; <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42142887">perfect shop set-up</a> which will point to better sales by improving one's shop's overall communication in the announcements, profile, and policies sections; <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42067285">perfect product listing </a>- this professional writing service provides the best possible word picture of one's high-end item or product line. There is also <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42165887">premium package</a> on offer. This premium writing service will point one to better sales by improving their shop's overall communication in the announcements, profile, and policies sections, along with copywriting for 3 items - at a cost savings that beats ordering the services individually. Not just for newbies, this custom service will help any online seller who wants to refresh, renew, and improve their shop. There are also two extremely affordable services for sale: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42108264">a checklist for perfect shop set-up</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42037795">checklist for a perfect product listing</a>.<br />

They are transparent royal blue with bumps of the same color on the sides that serve as endings to aquamarine blue and rosy teardrops standing out by white lining. They are topped with rosy pink Swarovski crystals and complemented with Tibet silver. And as always there is no lead and nickel in the findings that I use for my jewelry. Ear wires are also lead and nickel free and will not cause any allergy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I am so excited about this! The set featured on the FP sold and the shop got many new hearts, what else one could wish for;) Thanks so much to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioElenus">Studioelenus</a> who chose my set for her treasury which made it to the front page:)<br />
And in addition to that, this same item today was featured in "beautiful things" section on <a href="http://www.brightboldbeautiful.blogspot.com/">Bright, Bold, and Beautiful blog</a>. This blog is absolutely a must for visiting. It is absolutely gorgeous, such eye candy and very interesting too! <br />

It is very optimistic and moodlifting, so I could not resist sharing it. It is inspired by and made with playful orange lampwork beads. Some have standing out darker orange swirls and some green and red bumps.

How cool is that! Oh, yes, if you start wandering what Russian has to do with me if I am from Lithuania and live in Ireland. Well, it is my mother tongue!<br />

However, it was not the taste of the cake that was special, it was quite average to be honest, but its decoration. He is a big football fan and I decorated the cake with a football game and even came up with the story of what is going on on the field. He was thrilled when he saw there was so much action on the cake top. One player is trying to score, another one is blocking him and the goal keeper is ready to catch the ball, while another player just threw his rival on the ground and the referee is about to show a yellow card! Anyway, here are some pics of the cake and my dearest about to blow the candles.<br />
