Hummel Porcelain Figurines
In Massing, Bavaria Munich in 1927 to attend the Academy of Applied Arts
At the age of 37, Hummel died of tuberculosis. Goebel and his company still continue to create figurines from her art. Since Hummel’s drawings are all 2 dimensional the sculptor must imagine what the drawings would look like 3 dimensional and put unseen details into the clay model but still stick to Hummels style consistently. Since, Hummel’s passing, the finished model done by Goebel’s company must be presented to her family and to the artistic board at the Convent of Siessen before it is produced of the public.

About Diamonds
Diamonds are known as “a girl’s best friend”, but they also happen to be April’s birthstone. Diamond comes from the Greek word “adamas” meaning “unconquerable”, “unbreakable”, “proper”, and “unalterable”. Diamonds were first used and recognized in India
Goodoletom Shore , 1869 Dixwell Ave, Hamden
There are very many different types of cuts for diamonds. Cutting diamonds into different shapes and styles can be traced back to the middle ages. The cut of the stone impacts the brilliance of the stone, and how it illuminates. The most popular cut is the round brilliant cut; but there are a few factors that go into how the diamond is cut. The factors are the shape of the rough stone, flaws, carat weight, and the popularity of the shapes amongst consumers.
Another factor that describes the diamond is the color. The color of the stone is affected by the chemical imperfection of the diamond. The different colors of diamonds are, white, steel, gray, blue, yellow, orange, red and pretty much any color of the rainbow. The internal impurities, structural defects cause the different colors, and pure clear diamonds don’t have these imperfections.
Another factor that goes into describing the diamond is the clarity. There are a variety of different things that help decide the degree of clarity. One thing that goes into the degree of clarity is the inclusions of the diamond. The different types of inclusion are clouds, feathers knots, and things like that. Another thing that goes into degree of clarity are the blemishes such as polish lines, scratches, nicks, pits, chips and more. The grading considerations include the size of the blemishes or inclusions, the number of blemishes or inclusions, and the position of the blemishes or inclusions on the diamond. The higher the number means the less clear it is.

1987 Presidential Rolex
In 1905, “Wilsdorf and Davis” was founded by Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis in the capital of England, London. At that time their only business was to import swiss movement watches by Hermann Aegler and place them in watch cases. After they were placed in the cases they were then sold to jewelers who then put their own name on the watches. Watches the brothers took for themselves are usually hallmarked with “W&D” inside the caseback.
Wilsdorf then registered the word “Rolex” in 1908. The word was made up by Wilsdorf as he thought it was both small enough to fit on the face of a watch and easy to pronounce in any language. Wilsdorf then opened an office in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland and after registered “Rolex” as a company name on November 15, 1915.
Wilsdorf decided to move the company to Geneva, Switzerland in 1919 taxes and export duties on the silver and gold used for the watch cases were driving costs too high. There his business was established as the “Rolex Watch Company”. The name changed quite a few times until it was finally changed to “Rolex SA”.
GoodOleTom is excited about this very rare Rolex Presidential 18k gold watch. The Yellow Gold Oyster Perpetual Presidential Rolex comes with the original 18K Rolex band. The face of the watch is marked Swiss Made, Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified. This Rolex watch has been authenticated and serviced by a Rolex professional. It is a heavy, very attractive, authentic Rolex watch.
