Ever since man could appreciate beauty, there have been amazing work put into attracting a smile on royals faces..and that smile is usually spelled J e w e l r y.
 
 

I have been surrounded and drawn by such beauty all my life.
 
 

On one hand, I do believe that a person is either born with class or not, hence the quality of choices made in life from the biggest to the smallest things.
 

I do believe classiness is beyond the general inherited royal emblem, but on the other hand, royals have left traces of amazing treasures throughout history...stamps of the external face of eternal class.
 

So, here I will post, not a showcase of my special and unique private collection as Im not an online exhibtionist of my private life, but im posting an amazing exposé of some of the worlds most beautiful regalia/royal treasures.

 I saw an interesting advertisement where the company was seeking people who could solve problems creatively, “INSIDE THE BOX.”

I can’t imagine what sort of problems “out of the box” thinkers must have been causing them.

Quoting worldmind: Rmac..and all..sorry for my latish responses as IM SOOOO BUSY..between working on so many projects with very delicate layers, haveing a very strict workput schedule and a fierce PT and travelling the world in business..there is not always enogh time for this...but Im trying ;-)..oh it was a bit easier when it ws the end of the year times..now..when the beginning of the year there are sooo many things to attend to etc etc...   Rmac..interesting what your teacher did..smart move. As I do know from my own experience, as I was myself put thru such, a senior boardmember in the first enterprise i worked in, gave me some tasks to solve when i was very very young..and I solved them all in 2 days..and the people who I was in contact with were shocked as they said.."we have been on this for like 6 months and here you come with quick solutions..."...so I understand the outside of the box theme completely..as we as humans tend to sometimes let knowledge be the disadvantage instead of the opposite..might depend on how we use knowledge or even how we store it within our mental systems...we are benefited of mental training and learning to know how our own minds think and react I think.

HAPPY VALENTINE

To those on MM who I really enjoy - you know who you are - and also you sweet ones who have commented on my blog here :-)

 LOVE & A QUESTION - Robert Frost

A stranger came to the door at eve, 
And he spoke the bridegroom fair. 
He bore a green-white stick in his hand, 
And, for all burden, care. 
He asked with the eyes more than the lips 
For a shelter for the night, 
And he turned and looked at the road afar 
Without a window light. 

The bridegroom came forth into the porch 
With, 'Let us look at the sky, 
And question what of the night to be, 
Stranger, you and I.' 
The woodbine leaves littered the yard, 
The woodbine berries were blue, 
Autumn, yes, winter was in the wind; 
'Stranger, I wish I knew.' 

Within, the bride in the dusk alone 
Bent over the open fire, 
Her face rose-red with the glowing coal 
And the thought of the heart's desire. 

The bridegroom looked at the weary road, 
Yet saw but her within, 
And wished her heart in a case of gold 
And pinned with a silver pin. 

The bridegroom thought it little to give 
A dole of bread, a purse, 
A heartfelt prayer for the poor of God, 
Or for the rich a curse; 

But whether or not a man was asked 
To mar the love of two 
By harboring woe in the bridal house, 
The bridegroom wished he knew.

Just curiosity -- the expression, “Thinking Outside the Box,” has become part of the culture and most people do not know the origin of the expression.  

What was being taught in the creativity classes was to carefully eliminate all self-imposed constraints on finding a solution.  Sometimes even to eliminate real constraints just to explore the problem and to see if those constraints were truly necessary.  Sometimes when we define a problem we impose constraints that are not necessary or beneficial. 

One of my favorite professors confided that he often asked his graduate students to solve problems he was working on and could not solve.  His students, not knowing the problem was difficult, often solved them.  Unencumbered by all his experience and knowledge they were free to just solve it. 

What the expression, “Thinking Outside the Box,” has come to mean in common usage is originality or creativity in the solution of problems or the production of ideas.

Quoting worldmind: Dear Rmac...oh thank you very interesting about that box-thing :-) Why did you ask by the way? :-)

Some odd items of mine are paperclips 18k gold with diamonds and a toothpick in pure 18k gold with like 5 huge stamps on it which means its in a way "stampornamented" ;-)))

The Swedish gold stamp is called "kattfot"stamp, and is made of 3 crowns....

This brooch was first documented in the inventory of Emperor Ferdinand I and probably came into Habsburg possession through his grandmother, Archduchess Mary of Burgundy. Very early renaissance near, around 1400.

"Chatelaine" is French for "Mistress of the Castle - long chains holding important household itemsaAbout the waist. These items were things like the key to a pantry where valuable tea, spices and food were kept; a small notebook; sewing items; a magnifying glass; or maybe a watch, nail file, or compass. The earlier waist-hung items were referred to as "equipage".
