Get A Brilliant Blue Topaz Ring For A Cool Burn!
The alternate birthstone for both November and December, blue topaz rings give an unmistakable look of elegance to the hand.
In constant use for over 2000 years, topaz is one of the gems used in the gates to the Holy City of the New Jerusalem. It is believed that they protect against enemies. It is unsure if the name topaz came from Greek or Sanskrit. Topaz was dedicated to Jupiter by the Romans. In ancient times, there were many myths about topaz including that it could make sterile women fertile and men more handsome and desirable and also, that if topaz was thrown into boiling water one could immerse their hand into it. I would not advise trying it. Want you want to do with your hand is just slip a blue topaz ring on it. You’ll feel cooler and the only burn will be to your eyes from it’s brilliance. Topaz is believed to be calming and reduce anger and sadness as well.
Topaz occurs in many colors such as blue, orange green, pink red and a clear topaz which is often treated to produce blue. Found in Africa, Australia, Brazil, Burma, Japan, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the former USSR, Topaz has a hardness of 8 and blue topaz has often been mistaken for aquamarine as it is usually very pale when found naturally and that in itself is not all that common. Mostly, Blue topaz is irradiated and heat treated to produce the varying degrees of blue we have come to associate with this gem. Even though blue topaz has been treated to attain the wonderful shades of blue, it remains unaffected durability wise, maintaining its hardness level. There are many different shades of blue from a very pale to a stunning deep blue.
Rings made of blue topaz can be as ornate, delicate or stylishly elegant as the wearer would want and the different cuts of this gem allow for creativity. Cluster style topaz or a solitaire topaz with clusters of small diamonds make for a dazzling effect set on white or yellow gold. These can reflect a modern or antique feel. Again, set in white or yellow gold, single topaz of different cuts with a more patterned band. These bands can be scrolled, laced intertwined, the list is endless. Traditional settings are timeless classics and never go out of date, as solitaires on a plain band, solitaires with diamond arms and clusters these can be use as engagement, eternity and stunning dress rings will delight generations. There are also big and bold settings as well as more modern and unusual designs and settings. For children, there are smaller blue topaz rings, settings are more delicate and are either solitaire or a smaller stone set into a signet ring, these can be white or yellow gold or silver. Let’s not forget the gentlemen who appreciate this lovely gem. Blue topaz rings with settings in a thicker more masculine band on white or yellow gold.
No matter what the occasion, the gift of a blue topaz ring is sure to delight and impress, not only the wearer but those who admire fine jewelry.

In a Shade of Blue $19 In this provocative book, Eddie S. Glaude Jr., one of our nation’s rising young Afircan American intellectuals, makes an impassioned plea for black America to address its social problems by recourse to experience and with an eye set on the promise and potential of the future, rather than the fixed ideas and categories of the past. Central to Glaude’s mission is a rehabilitation of philosopher John Dewey, whose ideas, he argues, can be fruitfully applied to a renewal of African American politics. According to Glaude, Dewey’s pragmatism, when attentive to the darker dimensions of life—or what we often speak of as the blues—can address many of the conceptual problems that plague contemporary African American discourse. How blacks think about themselves, how they imagine their own history, and how they conceive of their own actions can be rendered in ways that escape bad ways of thinking that assume a tendentious political unity among African Americans simply because they are black. Drawing deeply on black religious thought and literature, In a Shade of Blue seeks to dislodge such crude and simplistic thinking and replace it with a deeper understanding of and appreciation for black life in all its variety and intricacy. Glaude argues that only when black political leaders acknowledge such complexity can the real-life sufferings of many African Americans be remedied, an argument echoed in the recent rhetoric and optimism of the Barack Obama presidential campaign. In a Shade of Blue is a remarkable work of political commentary and to follow its trajectory is to learn how African Americans arrived at this critical moment in their cultural and political history and to envision where they might head in the twenty-first century. “Eddie Glaude is the towering public intellectual of his generation.”—Cornel West “Eddie Glaude is poised to become the leading intellectual voice of our generation, raising questions that make us reexamine |

Just Another Shade of Blue $19.98 Any cop who’s been there will understand. Anyone else who wants a peek into the intracies of a homicide investigation will find the answers to their questions in Just Another Shade of Blue. When Detective Conrad Garrity is called to the scene of a body discovered in a remote park, he knows it will be a tough case: the victim is a 13 year old girl who has been missing for several weeks. Internal conflict within his own agency creates instant heartburn and fueling the frenzy is a prolific small market television reporter. As a power struggle with an FBI Task Force evolves, Garrity and his partner try to unravel the mystery. Perseverence pays off, and an unlikely suspect is developed. The revelation is less than welcomed by those who pursue a different theory, but the bottom line is that gumshoe instincts and common sense still rule in police work. From the aspects of evidence collection, a forensic autopsy, the detailed interviews and discovery of information; to the Grand Jury and to the resolution of the case, Just Another Shade of Blue is not just another murder mystery. It’s about the psyche of those charged with finding the killer and the coping mechanisms employed by the detectives to defeat the stress and sorrow of iniquity. Albeit fiction, Charles Porter writes about what he knows and the pangs of reality ring true. Currently a detective with over 25 years on the job, Porter draws upon his personal experience to create hunor and animated characters in a believable plot. |

A Deeper Shade of Blue $5.48 Depression affects women almost twice as often as men, with about one in four women suffering from it at some point in her lifetime. While depression may strike at any time, studies show that women appear to be particularly vulnerable during their childbearing years. This comprehensive and empathetic book confronts the seldom-talked-about issue of pregnancy-related depression, identifying symptoms, treatments, and cures for this constellation of serious, underdiagnosed, and surprisingly common emotional conditions. Topics covered include the emotional repercussions of infertility and miscarriage, depression during pregnancy, postpartum depression and anxiety, and the impact of maternal depression on spouse and family. Also addressed are the many aspects of a woman’s life — career, education, marriage, and a host of other factors — that may increase her stress during the span of her childbearing years and make her especially susceptible to emotional difficulties. Straightforward, honest, and sensitive, A Deeper Shade of Blue speaks directly to women at risk of or suffering from depression within the context of childbearing and provides the information they need to get the best care, during pregnancy and beyond. |
