Gold ring

Gold Digger And Proud Of It

I am a gold digger in the best sense of the word.
I actually go out and dig for gold.
Real gold, with a shovel.
In fact, I mined the gold for my own wedding ring.
Here's how it happened.

Right after I had graduated from college I took a week off to go camping at the American River in Northern California with my now wife.

We had been doing gold mining as a hobby for about four years at this point.
I took my gold pans and other equipment and headed off.
The weather was pleasant and it's always beautiful to camp right on a river.
Enjoying the camp fire at night, the sound of the water lulling you to sleep.
Camping is always a treat.



The gold mining itself happened a short distance away.
I would start the day off getting up when I pleased, cook breakfast, and be on the water ready for mining by about 10AM.
I'm not an early riser.
For the mining I used a piece of equipment called a gold dredge.
It's like an underwater vacuum.

I used my small dredge to mine along a crack in the bedrock.
A lot of gold can be found by breaking open cracks and sucking the dirt (and gold) out.
A dredge provides the suction and also helps sort the dirt with the gold staying behind and the lighter weight sand being washed away.
Dredging is a fun way to find gold.
I would keep this up until two or three in the afternoon when I started to get hungry.



For lunch we went back to camp.
First I would stow everything away at the river and then take the short drive to camp.
The drive itself was actually quite interesting, we had to cross several cool bridges and sometimes saw wildlife.
Throughout the week we did a bit of local exploring and found two ways to drive back to camp.


My goal had been to find enough gold on this trip to allow me to have my wedding ring made out of gold that I mined.

The process only took about two days, and they were short days at that.
The other days I did some sight seeing, experimented with the dredge, and read a book.
It was also a vacation after all.

When I got home I panned the gold that I had found.
It looked like enough for a ring.
The same jeweler who had made my wife's custom ring, also from gold that we mined together, also made my ring.

As a way to personalize it a bit more, I also had the first small nugget that I found added to the ring on top.
So I guess that I qualify as a gold digger, but I'm proud of it.

Free Cell Phone Ring Tones - Jingling Vibes For Any Occasion

How many ringtones does one person really need?
Apparently a lot as there are a bunch of websites using free cell phone ringtones as enticements to get people to buy their product, and other companies using the ringtones as promotions.
The free cell phone ringtones are of course more limited in selection than the other ones that you have to pay for, but if you are just looking for older songs to give you phone some variety, then the free cell phone ringtones are just fine.

This leave me to wonder though why all these ringtones are really so important.
Why do our phones have to sing loud obnoxious songs.
It would be fine if people only turned their cell phones on to ring at home or in the car.
However people turn their cell phones on, and turn the ringer all the way up, in public places.

The worst part of this is that these people are normally teenagers, and anyone that knows any teenagers knows that the raunchier and...

A Unique Diamond Engagement Ring ? In Platinum

Diamond engagement rings for many years typically came in the traditional form of a gold band with a solitaire diamond setting, but as wedding etiquette has evolved over the years to include the more idiosyncratic tastes of individual couples, so are there now many shapes and makes of diamond engagement ring available. An engagement ring is hopefully something that a bride will wear forever, and as such, it should encapsulate her personality, so that regardless of the shifting of fashions, it will remain something that she loves and treasures. An increasing popular choice for engagement and wedding rings is platinum. One of the rarest of the precious metals, it is strong and sturdy, with a subtle style that is the perfect accompaniment to any precious stone. It is the unique combination of simplicity and luster that have made the choice of a diamond engagement ring in platinum increasingly popular, as its wonderful sheen sets off the cut and brilliance of a diamond beautifully.

Wedding Ring Cushions / Ring Bearer Pillows / Ring Cushions

Launched at the end of 2003 by former stylist and model, Olivier Laudus, WeddingRingCushions offers luxury handmade wedding ring cushions. Wedding ring cushions (or ring bearer pillows as they are known in the United States) are traditionally held by young children and carried up the aisle. The rings secured on the ring cushion will normally not be the actual wedding rings and instead the process is a symbolic one. On the Continent it is more common to see the wedding ring cushion being used as part of the actual ring exchanging ceremony, while in the United Kingdom, it is traditionally the best man who keeps the rings. The use of a wedding ring cushion during the exchange of the wedding rings has become increasingly popular in the UK.Olivier's debut collection was launched at the National Wedding Show in London in February 2004.

Olivier was delighted with the response he received, "It was a great feeling to hear that people loved the cushions. Although I also kept hearing how...
