Leonardo da Vinci
Posted by Innocent
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 - May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath: scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, musician and writer. Born at Vinci in the region of Florence, the illegitimate son of a notary, Messer Piero, and a peasant girl. Catherine, Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio.
Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan where several of his major works were created. He also worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice, spending his final years in France at the home given him by King Francois I.
Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man" or universal genius, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painter of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have live. It is primarily as a painter that Leonardo was and is renowned. Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper occupy unique positions as the most famous, most reproduced and most parodied portrait and religious painting of all time, their same approached only by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. Leonard's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also Iconic. Perhaps fifteen paintings survive, the small number due to his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless these few works, together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, comprise a contribution to later generations of artists only rivaled by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.
As an engineer, Leonardo conceived ideas vastly ahead of his own time, conceptualizing a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, and the double hull, and outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime, but some of his smaller inventions such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the field of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

All about Pearls
Posted by Innocent
Pearls are an organic gem, called that because they are created by living creatures. Each pearl begins its existence as a piece of grit or other particle that makes its way into the shell of a marine or freshwater mollusk some types of oysters and clams. A defense mechanism kicks-in and coats the particle with layer after layer of substance called nacre, or mother-of -pearl, which eventually become thick enough to form a pearl.
Pearl Origin Classifications
Natural Pearl
Natural Pearls are formed when an accidental intruder enters a mollusk's shell and continuous layers of nacre grow like onion skin around the particle. Natural pearls vary in shape depending on the shape of piece being coated.
Natural pearls have always been considered rare and are quite expensive. They are usually sold by carat weight. Most natural pearls on today's market are vintage pearls.
Culture Pearls
Like natural pearls, cultured pearls grow inside of a mollusk, but with human intervention. A shall is carefully opened and and object is inserted. Shapes of object vary, depending on the final shape of pearl that's desired. Over time the object becomes coated with layers of nacre. The depth of the nacre coating depends on the type of mollusk involved, the water it lives in, and how long the intruder is left in place before being harvested.
As nacre thickness increases, so does the quality and durability of the cultured pearl. Cultured pearls are sold by their size in millimeters.
Saltwater Pearls
Saltwater pearls originate within a saltwater mollusk. Saltwater pearls can be either natural or cultured.
Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater Pearls grow inside of a freshwater mollusk one that lives in a river or a lake.
Pearl Shape Classifications
Spherical pearls are round, which is traditionally the most desirable shape. The rounder the pearl, the more expensive its price tag. Symmetrical pearls include pear shaped pearl and other shapes that have symmetry from one side to another, but are not round.
Baroque pearls are irregularly shaped pearls. They are often the least expensive category of pearls, but are unique and quite beautiful.
