The technique of setting diamonds in gold-backed silver finds its origin centuries ago, when jewelers believed that only a silver mounting could render the true beauty of diamonds. Backing the silver jewel with a layer of gold was a practical precaution taken to avoid the silver leaving black stains on clothing or skin.

It was not until the late Nineteenth, early Twentieth Century with the recognition, and thus use, of platinum as precious metal and the development of white gold the practical necessity to use bi-colored material became obsolete. The argument to use bi-colored metals became more an esthetic habit than a practical necessity. Goldsmiths kept using bi-colored metals to emphasize the diamond settings up to the fifties of the Twentieth Century.

The Adin Carrot Diet, one of life's root necessities

The Adin Carrot Diet

One of life's root necessities

Belle Epoque hand-made platinum necklace pendant with big pear shaped diamond from the antique jewelry collection of Adin Antique Jewelry Store, Antwerp, Belgium

(Click the picture to see this bulky carrot pendant.)

Is it possible that consistent moderate weight loss could reliably result from a diet as simple as buying more Adin Carats? Yes!

The basic rule of this diet is to buy a few carats at or near the beginning of every celebration. Why should this work? This works because a bulky carat leaves no room at the party's end for the extra ice-cream or cheesecake. That saves a considerable amount of calories per party, which translates to a weight loss of more carats then obtained from Adin.

Adin Carrots are healthy additions you can make to any list in your diet. Indeed, these root necessities come with wholesome health benefiting compounds such beta-caratenes, vitamin^A(antique) and vitamin^D(diamond) in ample amounts.

Adin Carats are freely obtainable at www.adin.be. No doctor's prescription needed!

All olives are equal

(but some are more equal than others)

Belle Epoque diamond flexible bracelet by Emile Olive from the antique jewelry collection of Adin Antique Jewelry Store, Antwerp, Belgium

(Click the picture to read much more about this magnificent piece.)

One of a kind antique bracelet set with 7.20 carat diamonds and crafted by the illustrious Emile Olive. This very bracelet is depicted in the "Bible of Antique Jewelry" namely Henri Vever's "La Bijouterie Française au XIXe Siècle" (third volume, page 533) and in its English translation "French Jewelry of the Nineteenth Century" (page 1025).

(Click the picture to read much more about this magnificent piece.)

Henri Vever writes about Emile Olive:
"Emile Olive (1853-1902) succeeded Le Saché as designer in Falize's firm. An artist of lively intelligence and infinite taste, he spent thirty years applying body and soul to our beloved art. It is obvious that Olive's gift for geometry was hardly appreciated by his father, an accountant, since he sent him to work with a cheese and bean seller in Rue de la Verrerie.

Such an environment seemed hardly likely to foster the development of an artistic vocation. However the young man felt such a need to draw and had such a hightly developed sense of decoration that he even found curious ornamental motifs in the stains and fissures of the the old shop walls and in the mould on the cheeses of his employer!"

(Click the picture to read much more about this magnificent piece.)

The Belle Époque (French for "Beautiful Era") was a period in European social history that began during the late 19th century and lasted until World War I. Occurring during the time of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named in retrospect, when it began to be considered a "golden age" the major powers of Europe, new technologies improved lives and the commercial arts adapted Renaissance and eighteenth-century styles to modern forms. This epoch overlaps the end of what is called the Victorian Era there and the period named the Edwardian Era.
