"I have always loved crystals and rocks and things like that," artist Alisa Hopper said.

Hopper is inspired by nature, so much so, she's designed a jewelry line all built around it.

"They're all just a little bit different, handmade and each of the gemstones and the aggregate slices and the druzy formations in the middle with the crystals. They're all unique as well because they're straight from nature," she said.

Hopper is the owner of Timber and Chain, a jewelry line sold on Etsy and at local markets. She started the business just two years ago to complement her bridal line, All Things Tinsel, which was founded in 2009.

Oopsies! Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky revealed in a new interview that she dealt with a slight mishap on her wedding day—but it was for the best reason.

The former reality star—who married Kevin Manno at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on March 3—opened up to Extra on Tuesday, March 14, about the highlights from her beachfront ceremony. “I forgot to wear my veil!” she recalled. “Someone took it out of the garment bag… I never thought to go back and take the veil, I was obviously having too much fun.”

One thing Fedotowsky will never forget from her wedding was the live music. “We had this incredible band… They just blew us away!” she said. Fedotowsky previously told The Knot that she wanted her day to be eventful. “I want to be able to let loose and completely enjoy myself at my wedding,” she said in an exclusive interview in 2016. “I didn’t know how pregnancy would affect me so I didn’t want to risk feeling crappy on my wedding day. It’s a good thing we didn’t get married then because I was so sick at the beginning of my pregnancy. It would have been a rough night for me.”

Pearl - one of the most popular precious stones. It was as if lit from within, which could not but attract the connoisseurs of art since ancient times. It is not surprising that by the early twentieth century when few people even heard about what a cultured pearl formed by a serious shortage of this beautiful stone. Unlike other gems, pearls are not in the bowels of the earth, and in the shells of mollusks, where it occurs naturally in a few years. Pearl led in popularity of some of these mollusks to almost complete extinction.

The way out was found by the Japanese Kokichi Mikimoto, who was able to provide a method of pearl cultivation in artificial conditions. In the wild pearl, formation occurs when the random grain of sand falls into a conch shell. Incredibly sensitive mantle mollusk for its protection starts to produce a special substance - Pearl - which layer by layer covers grit. That is how the stone is formed, which is so valued by humans for several years. Mikimoto learned how to artificially create the conditions to re-create the process. To create cultured pearls clam was placed in a natural environment and the mantle of the artificially placed a small ball of nacre. In fact, to this artificially implanted ball rose a real jewel, leaving the same number of years that would be required to create a pearl in nature.

Cultured pearls are to be distinguished from the artificial. A method of creating cultured pearls almost no different from the natural, except for corn, from which it was grown. When you create cultured pearl mussels are not used, the simulation is carried out exclusively by means of man-made technologies. Cultured pearls can have a variety of shapes and colors, but even the best quality simulation can not fully replicate the texture and glow of pearls, created by the mollusk.

As a rule, artificial pearls natural and easier it is perfectly smooth. In addition, it does not have the elasticity inherent in pearls, created by mussels - if you throw it on a smooth surface, it will roll, while natural or cultured rebound from it. Another important difference between cultured pearls - the absence of special inner glow, for which so prized natural pearls.

Cultured pearls are usually different from the natural form only. The fact that the shape of the pearl depends on the grain from which it grew. The basis for cultured pearls are usually pearl bead is smooth, so cultured pearls, as a rule, have a more regular, rounded shape than the natural ones.

We decided to move away from the standard scheme and not to discuss outfits and jewelry that is chosen well-known Russian women politicians. Some people prefer the expensive articles of gold and diamonds, others are something more simple. But, as it seems, it's still not in the cost, and how each of the jewelry complements the image of its owner.
