iHeart Locket Digital Diary Necklace

I had a diary when I was a kid. In fact, I journaled more or less regularly until I started my blog in 2004, although what I would write in my diary and what I write on my blog are pretty different things. My daughter has started and abandoned diaries a few times and she loves any app that will let her customize something (I'm shocked how much enjoyment she gets out of creating cakes and pretending to eat them on any Apple device), so I said, "SURE!" when the folks at DANO asked if I'd like an iHeart locket for my girl to try out.

Dear Diary, my tech is now off the hook.

You have to have an iPad in order to use the iHeart locket. I won one a while back, and even though technically I won it, I'm the family member who uses it the least. My daughter uses it the most, with my husband coming in a close second as a classic second-screen user (I don't think he's capable of watching TV without it any more).

A team of archaeologists gathered at the Museum of Yorkshire in England last week to discuss the Ring Escrick, a gold ring finely crafted around a blue sapphire was discovered in 2009 by a passionate amateur metal detector.

The ring, one of the oldest jewelry sapphire ever found in the country, was so far from the 10 or 11 century - until the group took a closer look.

"None of this has been found in this country," said Natalie McCaul, Curator of Archaeology Yorkshire. "This sapphire ring is even more special than we previously thought."

Panel Conclusion: Escrick ring has been made in Europe, possibly in France, and has been a part of a king or a leader - not just a bishop, as previously thought. And "probably much earlier than previously thought, as follows: 5 or 6th century, up to 600 years earlier than archaeologists thought.

"I hope that this will lead us to discover more about the ring and may have had," he said.

The ring was discovered by Michael Greenhorn, York and District Metal Detectors Club in 2009. Yorkshire Museum has collected more than $ 50,000 to buy it.

Participants in the seminar, including the Museum of Yorkshire said that more than 30 experts from around the country, has decided to sapphire ring probably cut before, perhaps in Roman times, but the ring itself has been designed around the sapphire. Look at the wear ring is believed to have been at least 50 years before it disappears.

The gold ring that also seems somewhat different from the main part of the ring, with the proposal that has been turned into a ring later, maybe a stick or a frame.

Further research, including X-ray analysis and samples of the gold ring can help to identify its origin.
