We don't need Wagner or Tolkien to tell us how powerful the ring is, although we have to say that both views are very convincing. Most of us have our own cycles since childhood. When I was a child, one of my most precious possessions was a cheap plastic ring, probably obtained by mailing the lid of a cereal box. I think this has a subtle connection with the efforts to defeat the Axis countries in the late World War II, and my friends and I are very eager to participate in this struggle. I seem to remember that part of the ring was used to put secret information, but it may be a trick in my memory. However, I clearly remember that this ring made me a star in The Waiting Seven-year-old Spy. I hope to keep this position with my high school ring and college ring. Personally, these two rings are now as lost as the legendary gold ornaments forged by Al Burridge and Nibelon.

But the most pleasing thing about the ring is that it is a symbol of love. Those of us who have repeated the life-changing phrase "I am married to this ring" know the sudden and exciting meaning that a simple gold ring can convey. With such a ring, we combine two people together, sometimes forever, and this unspeakable connection becomes a material form. On the ring finger of my left hand, I wear a gold ring. This ring was originally worn by my wife's grandfather, who was a World War II general. Now it is more important to me than any precious ring when I was young.

When the romantic aura of a ring is combined with the dramatic effect of a precious gem, the effect will be very powerful. I clearly remember sitting in a restaurant in New Orleans one late summer afternoon, fascinated by the amazing spectrum of the diamond ring in the hand of a lady sitting at the next table. When she was talking to her friend, her hand shone obliquely through the sun on a window on the opposite wall, and a spark splashed all over the restaurant. It's like she's conducting her own color concert.

Combine a ring to show a legendary gem of love beyond death. You have the works of Jeffrey Post, the curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History's National Gems and Minerals Collection. This ring is a 23. 1 carat Burmese ruby with two triangular diamonds on both sides. Last August, investor and physicist Peter Baker retired from Knowles Atomic Energy Laboratory in new york in the name of his wife Carmen lucia Barker, who died in 2003, and successfully acquired the company. Born in Brazil

Mrs. Barker is a jewelry collector and philanthropist who is committed to medical research. She is an old man and a child in Brazil. She learned about rubies from Frank Cappello, a jeweler in Danbury, Connecticut. He heard in 2002 that rubies may be listed in private hands for many years. At that time, she was fighting cancer and hoped to celebrate her recovery by buying this stone. Although it was a perfect wish, her husband decided to provide her with funds for the Smithsonian to buy the works now known as the Carmen Lucia Ruby Award. In the museum, it added legendary jewels, such as Hope Diamond and 423-carat Logan Sapphire.

According to curator Post, this oval ruby was mined in Moguoke, Myanmar in 1930s. Now it is also known as the classic origin of Burmese rubies and one of the largest finely cut Burmese rubies in the world. Burmese rubies are highly prized for their colors. Carmen Lúcia is a bright red with a pink and purple background. The color that jewelers dream of is called "pigeon blood red". "Since this stone was first cut, its source is still unknown," Post said. "Before the international jeweler 15 years ago, we didn't know who owned this stone, but it is not uncommon to keep several generations of extraordinary stones in private home safes." "This caused a sensation in the gem world."

Trained a nuclear physicist, Barker wrote a friend's submarine sandwich shop for the United Nations. This store has developed into a subway chain store. Buck did not disclose the amount he donated to the organization to buy rings.

But its value, as rings often appear, lies more in its meaning than its value. Carmen Laucia's red gem ring, as an expression of men's eternal love for women, should make everyone who sees it shine in the future. Barker said, "Since it was first unearthed in the 1930s, people have probably seen more rings than others."
