EARRINGS AND THEIR HISTORY

Ear piercing is one of the oldest forms of body modification, with artistic depictions and written evidence from cultures around the world dating back to ancient history. Evidence of earrings worn by men can be seen in archaeological finds from as far back as Persepolis in ancient Persia.

HOW BLACK FRIDAY STARTED

kosmimatomania.gr
Black Friday (Black Friday) is the unofficial name of the day following Thanksgiving in the United States, the fourth Friday in November (between November 24-30), which has been considered the beginning of the country's Christmas shopping season since in 1952.

Most major retailers open very early, in recent years past midnight, and give great deals. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but California and some other states observe the "Day after Thanksgiving" holiday for state employees, usually in lieu of another federal holiday, such as Columbus Day. Many non-retail workers and schools have both Thanksgiving and the following day off, so along with the following weekend creates a four-day holiday that increases the number of potential buyers.

 

Black Friday has been the biggest sales day of the year in the United States since 2005, although reports, which at the time were inaccurate, described it as such for much longer. Similar stories resurface every year at this time, presenting buying hysteria and inventory shortages, thus creating a vicious demand feedback loop situation.

In 2014, Black Friday sales fell for the first time since the 2008 recession: $50.9 billion was spent over the four-day period, $111.3 billion less than the previous year. But the U.S. economy was not in recession. Stores are now extending their deals throughout November and December, rather than focusing on just that day or even the weekend.

The first evidence of the use of the term "Black Friday" for the day after Thanksgiving in a commercial sense suggests that the term originates in Philadelphia, where it was used to describe the heavy and disruptive vehicular traffic that occurred on the day after Thanksgiving. This use of the term dates back to at least 1961.

in 1961. More than twenty years later, as the phrase became more common, it became popular to explain that this day was the point in the year when retail trade begins to turn a profit, i.e. in American slang from "the red" (in the red) goes "to black" (in the black)

There have been reports of violence between customers on this day. Since 2006, there have been 7 deaths and 98 injuries reported across the United States. It is common for shoppers to camp out outside stores on Thanksgiving Day, attempting to secure a spot in the front line and thus a better chance of finding what they want to buy. These practices, from occupying emergency lanes and fire extinguishers to using propane and generators in more extreme cases, pose a significant risk to public safety, prompting at least one city to ban the practice.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been attempts by retailers from the United States to introduce “Black Friday” to other countries around the world. In Greece, the practice was first introduced in 2015, while since 2016, more and more have started to implement it. You can find us in our online store kosmimatomania.gr

Properties and uses of metals

The basic material from which jewelry is made in most cases is metal. Silver, Stainless Steel, Bronze, Copper and of course Gold are the main metals from which we can make jewelry that lasts and is friendly to human skin. In modern Greek we use the word silver, Silver is a white, shiny soft metal and has the greatest electrical conductivity of any known metal. It is found alone (native silver) or in alloys with gold, copper, lead or zinc Since ancient times it has been considered a precious metal along with gold, due to its luster, workability and rarity

Stainless steel
The history of stainless steel begins at the beginning of the 20th century, in the effort to create metal alloys resistant to extreme conditions, stress and corrosion. Today, we know stainless steel from its applications in medicine for the manufacture of high-quality surgical tools. in the manufacture of components with high resistance specifications in extreme conditions.
The creation of jewelry had to wait until 1980, when the first jewelry lines were created, which quickly became popular due to their dynamic image, and of course their exceptional strength and properties. Stainless steel is now compared to gold, for its durability over time and its hypoallergenic properties. A series of non-magnetic stainless steel alloys, which we use in jewelry, with codes SAE 316L SAE 304, is extremely resistant to moisture, corrosion, oxidation, with virtually zero risk of allergies. The quality of the material, combined with the innovative design and of course the affordable price, open new paths in the art of jewelry with a huge variety of options.
If you are looking for a high-quality and aesthetic piece of jewelry that will last without spending a lot of money, stainless steel jewelry can be an excellent choice for you and the people you love.

Zircon

Zirconium, sometimes also called zirconite, is an isosilicate mineral of the homonymous metal. Like the metal, it owes its name to the Persian word zirgun = golden color. It forms transition phases, mainly with rare earth metals
With the addition of a stabilizer, zirconium crystallizes in the cubic crystal system, with greater strength, refraction and luster. The process of forming cubic crystals requires temperatures of +3000 degrees, up to 4000 degrees C, producing crystals of exceptional strength and great hardness

Cubic zirconia and synthetic moissanite are the stones that replace diamond with exceptional fidelity in jewelry making. The lower cost, the stone's resistance to fire and its hardness, combined with its transparency, luster and refraction revolutionized jewelry making and found application in the manufacture of high-definition lenses, filter prisms and laser accessories. The idea of producing a single-crystal cubic zirconium arose from the need to replace the expensive and hard-to-find diamond in laser technology, but also in optical applications of high demands and clarity.
In recent years, manufacturers have vacuum coated zirconia with a film of amorphous carbon for even greater shine and protection against stress.
Today it is estimated that the 15% of stones in jewelry production, is cubic zirconia Plating
Plating is the surface coating of an object with a thin layer of metal 0.5-2.5 micron thick. (1 micron is one thousandth of a millimeter) In jewelry, the most common platings are gold plating, silver plating, platinum plating, perodination and others
The classic plating process is based on Galvanization, the process of electrolytic transfer of positive metal ions to the object to be coated. This is done to protect the object from wear, to improve its appearance, or to create a new aesthetic effect. Modern plating uses technology in a dynamic way. IVD and PVD plating uses nanotechnology in a Vacuum environment Plating types for silver jewelry

The electrochemical deposition of gold of a thickness of at least 0.5 micron on a metal object. The Italian chemist, in 1805, was the first to gild a small silver surface, but the first professional gilding and silvering workshops started at the end of the 19th century. Pure gold gives protection from oxidation, its shine, but above all a different aesthetic effect, a beautiful color of golden luxury. Pink The gilding with 14 carat gold, i.e. gold alloy with pure copper. Copper gives gold a strong rose tint, a particularly popular contemporary color in jewelry. Redemption. The deposition of silver on the jewelry or object, to give the object a silver look and shine. One of the oldest methods of plating jewelry, it is slowly being withdrawn due to the dynamic entry of eroding into the market. Plating of stainless steel jewelry The end result is a piece of jewelry that is very resistant to corrosion, oxidation and impacts. PVD technology is 6-8 times more durable than classic plating.
The method does not produce heavy metal residues or contaminated waste, overall it is much more friendly to the environment, but also to the human body.

A few words about knitting!

 

It tells not only the story of the woman who holds it, illustrating her philosophy and style, but also the story, and of course its own unique manufacturing story.
a couple of needles, a bit of yarn and she started knitting in a wonderful way?
Was it an ancient genius guided by holy inspiration or dark sorcery? Could it have just been a fluke?
When I started researching the history of knitting, I expected to discover legends and myths, also the view that knitting was introduced to Europe by the Copts (a branch of Christianity in Egypt). On a mission trip they carried knitting with them and managed to attract worldwide attention.
In 13th century France, knitting became one of the most profitable branches of industry. Knitted hats, gloves, tops, socks and anything else that can be knitted. In Scotland, the traditional headgear - the knitted cap - was created and is preserved to this day. A surprising fact (because not many people know this) is that knitting was basically a male occupation, to the point where men fought in any way and with special agreements to prevent women from taking up knitting.
In 1612 in Prague they had even established a fine for women who simply decided to knit. Later, however, when knitting became widespread, mainly women began to deal with it. In the 19th century, a new form of knitting, crochet became a very enjoyable and popular pastime, and the production of crochet lace was so great that it was described as a 'worldwide craze'. Throughout Europe, men's and women's clothing and underwear were now decorated with lace.
