Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC – 8 BC), that has become an aphorism. It is popularly translated as "seize the day". However a more accurate translation of "Carpe diem" would be "enjoy the day" or "pluck the day (as it is ripe)".

The "Carpe diem" phrase is often misinterpreted and missused in contemporary popular culture. It's not about ignoring one's future, but rather not trusting that everything is going to fall into place for you someday and doing those things today. So have a look at these rings and wonder if you really have to wait with your purchase :-)

Dear fellow antique and estate jewelry afficionado,

Eleven months a year we try to amuse you with a weekly cute antique jewelry related mail. However, this time of the year we take the liberty of sending you some mails without any special picture or back-ground information on symbolism, style or era. There will be just a list of present suggestions.

Don't worry, these few mails (spread over three weeks) will be as much "hard marketing" as you can expect from us in a whole year. Rest assured that it will take another year before we will brag again about all those beautiful pieces of antique and estate jewelry that can be bought online from us and that it will take only about 2 or 3 working days from the moment of buying to the moment it is delivered at your doorstep.

antiqually yours,

Snakes and serpents - One of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols in various cultures is the snake or serpent. Symbol of fertility, immortality, wisdom, intelligence and healing, the snake has always been adjusted many positive (and negative) characteristics.

Therefore it should not come as a surprise that they always were a rich source of inspiration for goldsmiths and jewelers over the ages. At Adin we have a nice collection of snake jewelry, mostly made at the end of the 19th Century. Come and take a look.

La nouvelle cuisine d'Adin
proudly presents:
Cumquat Marmelade

Ingredients

* 1 Adin antique ring
* 24 green cumquats
* 2 oranges
* ca. 2kg (10 cups) sugar
* juice of 2 lemons
* ca. 2 litres (8 cups) water

Method

Take the Adin antique ring from your finger.

Remove pips from cumquats and oranges, chop them and combine together in a bowl. Using a mug, measure them into a large saucepan. Add 3 mugs of water per each mug of fruit. Let stand in a cool place for 12 hours (or overnight)

Bring the fruit mixture to the boil, reduce heat and simmer until the rind is very tender. Remove from heat and measure cooked fruit. Add one mug of sugar to the pan for every mug of the fruit mixture. Mix in the lemon juice, about 3 tablespoons.

Return the fruit to the pan, and bring to the boil once again. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the gel stage is reached (the temperature of the marmalade should be about 105 C when checked with a kitchen thermometer.) Remove from heat, and skim foam from the surface.

Transfer the mixture to sterile jars, leaving a bit of headspace, and seal immediately. Process any unsealed jars in a water bath. Refrigerate after seal has been broken.

Put the Adin antique ring back on your finger.

Preparation time: ca. 75 min
Grade of difficulty: easy
Calories per portion: absolutely

First Plover's Egg found! (in the Garden of Adin)

Extravagant estate engagement ring with one 6 crt bulky stone

The sign of springtime!

ANTWERP, March 28 (Reuters) - In Friesland, the Northern part of Holland, it is an old tradition to offer the first found plover's egg in the springtime to the Queen. This first found egg (called in Dutch: "eerste kievitsei") is a symbol for the beginning of the springtime. So, still today although forbidden in the rest of Europe but allowed in Friesland on cultural historical grounds, people hunt for the first egg.

The Gardener of Adin, not aware of this yearly contest, stumbled upon a nest full of eggs when weeding the Garden of Adin, becoming the unintentional winner of this folkloric event.
