Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.
Step back into the romantic 1890s with this rare Victorian “Rose of Sharon” ring, masterfully crafted in solid 10k rose gold. The centerpiece is a beautifully foiled garnet intaglio, etched with a star-like floral motif and set with a single-cut diamond at its heart — a technique now considered a lost art.
Historically gifted as a love token or promise ring during the American Civil War, this design symbolized eternal fidelity. The mounting shows signs of history, with a worn inscription, a stabilized surface crack on the garnet, and evidence of resizing with yellow gold solder — all of which only enhance its character and authenticity.
