Allen Woods Shared his Experience. “A very clever reply. And so true methinks. A tale, during my military service, I did a spell as a recruiter in Manchester in the UK. The job was very prestigious; we went through some two months of training on personnel selection, interviewing techniques and other related skills.We were told, regularly, not to use “gut feeling” when selecting people. The tests we had were applied without fear or favor to potential recruits. In addition, during interviews, we would apply our own assessment of someone’s capabilities and advise them about the jobs they would be best suited to, some would want to do things that they weren’t capable of given the evidence we had, some would be surprised at the range of jobs available because the evidence we had indicated that they were more capable than they thought they were.

There was no point in applying for the Guards if you turned up looking scruffy; there was not point in applying for REME or the RE if you weren’t bright enough. However, if you were bright enough and you chose both, then your physical appearance mattered because the nature of the work varied enormously. Royal Engineers were and are more physical. There is little point in being 6”7″ and applying to drive a tank, you would have difficulty getting in the things.

From day one, we would tell potential recruits to “smarten themselves up” (incidentally, mothers used to be pleased as punch to have their sons told, in no uncertain terms to get various bits of jewelry as piercing, out of their bodies).

In the case of the military, this may be seen as an extreme example of appearance mattering. But it does and very much so, for the reasons you describe”.

Christie Mason shared her views”I think that I do have a prejudice about hiring people. I prefer to NOT hire extremely attractive people. Attractive is good; just not extremely attractive.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve never been extremely attractive. It probably bothered me in high school, but I don’t remember it bothering me since then.

I want you to know that for every person who goes to the tahitian pearls wholesale and/or the police, there are countless others who do not. It is a shame of wholesale love pearl but some survivors don’t feel they can come forward without having to endure an attack on their character, an incorrect assumption that most people who cry rape are lying, and questioning or scrutiny by people over the actions of the victim as if some how it could be their fault. People who have been raped don’t need you judging their actions of semi-precious stone jewerly, believe me they’ve done it themselves and they will for the rest of their life. If you’re a survivor of rape I’m going to repeat again that it is – not your fault. I know no matter how many times you hear it or say it to yourself it’s not an easy thing to believe.

Italy is best known for its art and indulgences. Milan is one of the fashion capitals of the world. It is no wonder that the country is considered the land of fine things. From Italy we get craftsmanship honored from generation to generation. One of the best and highly sought after products of the country is its jewelry boxes. Like the intricate designs of its jewelry inspired by the Etruscan era some 3,000 years ago, the art of crafting jewelry boxes boasts of fine traditions.

Tradition-bound

One of the joys of buying excellent Italian crafts is that their elegance lasts though the years. They are almost heirloom pieces that increase in value as time passes. The rich stories that go into each finished item are more than enough to charm anyone.

There may be numerous Italian-made jewelry boxes out in the market most of them you can get through the Internet?but if you have extra cash, go for the best kind. It may be more expensive, but it is an investment in its own right.

To preserve the prestige of crafting jewelry boxes, select manufacturers still follow traditions. For example, a box can be crafted from any wood, but a true Italian box is made from an elm tree?and not just any elm tree. One out of every 100 elm trees feature a unique pattern of briarwood knots, color, and burls perfect for making the boxes.

The boxes are all painstakingly handcrafted giving them individual characteristics. From the finish of the box to the inside lining, craftsmen pay close attention to details. The process takes about a month to complete.

In any event, naturally forming or cultured, such pearls are formed in the oyster or mussel and are not fakes. The real difference in the totally natural pearl and the cultured pearls is what makes the pearl start to grow and the thickness of the nacre. Nacre is the pearly layers that make a pearl so lovely. The natural pearl will have very thick nacre, generally forming in concentric rings around some starting source or irritation to the mollusk. A large natural pearl is very, very rare. Cultured pearls generally use a ‘core’ of mother-of-pearl, the shell of the mollusk.

The bead core goes into the mollusk and nacre is formed around the core. The core determines the overall shape of the pearl. How long the oyster is allowed to let the pearl grow determines the thickness of the nacre. Thicker nacre is better. Best of all is thick nacre and a smooth, almost blemish free surface. Pearls grown inside the mussel or oyster do have a gritty feel to the tooth.

Fake pearls are made by coating a core of some sort (mother-of-pearl, plastic, etc.) with a plastic, a kind of paint containing ground fish scales or other stuff that look pearly to the eye. Generally, the fakes do not have a gritty feel to the tooth. Most may be identified with a little practice and a 10x jewelers loupe or microscope. The way to do it is to compare real pearls with some known fakes. The fakes almost always show a grittier look to the surface and not the more smoothly formed natural nacre.

The look is grittier but the feel to a tooth is smoother. After some practice comparisons, most fakes are fairly easily identified. Still, some are hard to detect without very thorough testing sometimes using solvents and acids which attack the real pearl nacre but not the plastic fakes and visa versa.
