How Is Silver Mined in Canada?

December 29, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Silver bullion is an incredible investment. This bullion isn’t the same as the chicken bouillon cubes you use in soup. In this case, “bullion” refers to a highly concentrated form of precious metal. However, they aren’t so dissimilar; both derive from the French word for “boiling.” A chicken-flavoured bouillon cube is boiled to make broth.

When Did Women Start Wearing Wedding Rings?

December 17, 2021 by Juphet

Beyoncé’s 2008 supposition that if you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it is nothing new. People have been wearing wedding rings for over 3,000 years. The diamonds, jewels, rocks, and ice gems, respectively, that come with engagement rings are an entirely separate history that runs a little shorter; the church-sanctioned ideology behind the practice of wearing engagement rings as a precursor to wedding rings dates back to only the 12th century. Estate jewellery provides much history about rings of the past. Learn more about when women started wearing wedding rings and just how far the humble…
