Lost Diamond Earring

Today I lost a diamond earring while playing with my family on the beach.  It was a chilly day, gray and overcast. I loved my earrings and had them for many years.  I felt angry at myself for wearing them, how stupid to wear diamond earrings to the beach!  I went back to look for the lost earring but, without one of those metal detectors it would be impossible to find.  It’s time to let go of such frivolous things. An earring is not what’s important, I know that, but what is the message for me?  What can I learn from this loss?  I suppose it’s time to let go of things and embrace that which is truly of value.  I thought I always did that or at least I always said I did.  In the end, I know that there is nothing I will be taking with me except the difference I’ve made in the lives of people I’ve profoundly touched.  I hope that the sum total of those good deeds and acts of kindness will be worth more than my diamond earring!

  2. Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

  3. I really loved this post. You explain this topic very well. Natural gemstones are found in nature. Laboratory-created stones, as the name implies, are made in a laboratory. These stones, which also are referred to as laboratory-grown, manufacturer-created, or synthetic, have essentially the same chemical, physical, optical, and visual properties as natural gemstones. Laboratory-created and imitation stones should be clearly identified as such. Gemstones may be measured by weight, size, or both. Carats are divided into 100 units, called points. When gemstones are measured by dimensions, the size is expressed in millimeters (for example, 7×5 millimeters). Gemstone treatments or enhancements refer to the way some gems are treated to improve their appearance or strength, or even change their color. Many gemstones are treated in some way. The effects of some treatments may lessen or change over time and some treated stones may require special care. Treatments and/or enhancements should always be disclosed by the seller.

  5. I really enjoyed this post. You describe this topic very well. Owning a diamond is capturing a piece of history. The diamond is over three billion years in age, formed in the earth’s interior and shot to the surface by extraordinary volcanoes. It is carbon in concentrated form, composed solely of carbon — the chemical element fundamental to all life. A diamond is a natural element full of passion and brilliance. Clarity begins at Flawless and works its way down to I3 (Included 3). All clarity grades are graded under a microscope at 10x. Clarity is the amount of features or inclusions you can see in a diamond. Obviously if a diamond is Flawless, you won’t see any inclusions under a microscope. The further down you go on the clarity scale the more apparent the inclusions become under a microscope or to your eye. This does not mean that everyone should purchase a Flawless diamond; in fact I don’t recommend buying a diamond close to the flawless grade.
