This is my explanation about how are diamond rings made?



  How are diamond rings made?
Diamond rings are used to make people feel special and to make yourself look rich. Some occasions are weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and new babies. A diamond ring is a type of jewellery featuring a diamond. 


Diamond rings come in all different shapes and sizes, for example: round, oval, pear, marquise, heart, princess, cushion, emerald, asscher and radiant. You can get your diamond ring colour in faint, light, very light, fancy light, fancy intense, fancy vivid and fancy deep. The main reason why diamond rings are extraordinarily expensive is because they are extremely rare, so, the more rare, the more expensive and the less rare the less expensive.




Firstly, the designers sketch the design of the ring. Next the design is 3D computer generated and a model is made of it.  Then it is sent to a 3D printer for printing, where thin wax slices are printed layer by layer. There are two different types of wax printed during the development, the blue casting wax on the inside and a red supporting wax on the outside. With layers so thin it takes 18 hours for the ring model to print. 


Next, the model is put in a bath containing a special cleaning solution then tweezers are used to remove all the aggravating supporting wax. After a long time washing the mold, it is finally ready.


After the mold is ready, the ring is then glued to a wax tree,
which has other molds attached to it so it can make several rings at the same time. This tree is  then plastered then placed in a guild for several hours until the wax burns out., leaving an imprint inside the plaster that's in the shape of the ring. Now it's time to cast the ring. The desired metal is melted to a liquid. The temperature must reach 1,948 degrees fahrenheit for gold and 3,215  degrees fahrenheit for platinum, once melted the metal is then poured into the mold and placed in cold water to harden and cool.Then the casing is removed. 


Each ring is cut from the tree.  The ring is now sent to get cleaned and prepared. Files are used to remove the sprew, which connected the ring to the tree; next the support bar is detached and then sent to get sanded to remove all bumps and metal fragments. Finally the ring is hammered to get the correct size and shape.  After getting hammered the ring is sent to get a pre polish using a buffer. A green rouge polishing compound is added to make the ring shiny. The ring is then rinsed in an ultrasonic bath. This bath is mainly made up of soap and water and is used to remove any access oils. 


Now, the ring is now ready for some bling. Back at the store the completed rings are received and the stones are ready to be picked so that it matches the correct size and shape. Next the diamonds are inspected to make sure the cut of the diamond is perfect. Black cuts in the stone are called facets which enhances the sparkly quality of the stone.


 Now that the perfect stones are selected it's time to set the diamonds.  A shellac wax is used to set the diamond in place, its heated and shaped around the ring. The diamonds are hammered into their spots and tongs are used to make sure the diamonds stay in place. It is very important to make sure this is done correctly because then the diamonds will fall off the ring. 


Now it's time for the final few steps the final polish. The completed ring is sent to get its final polish to make the ring all shiny . The diamond ring is now FINISHED!!!!


Making diamond rings is very tough. You now know how long it takes to make a diamond ring. So next time you want a diamond ring be careful of your choice!!

This is my emotion poem on happiness

Happiness
If happiness was a colour it would be yellow.
Happiness is eating chicken nuggets.
Sunshine and summer is happiness.
If happiness had a personality it would be kind ,cute and bubbly.
Happiness is chocolate ice-cream melting in my mouth on a hot, sunny day.
Happiness smells like a rich mango or caramel sauce oozing into your mouth.
If happiness was a sound it would be as melodic as a harp.

Jack and the Beanstalk story from the giants perspective

Hello I’m Matthew, but I go by the name, Matt.  Do you know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk ?  If you do, then you will know that I am portrayed as the mean giant.  Well, that story is dramatically INCORRECT!! I’m here to tell you the REAL story of Jack and the Beanstalk. 


One lovely day, I was singing my favourite song, “ Fe, fi fo, fum, I have a prickle in my bum”. My wife had just made fresh chocolate chip cookies which were very delectable, but as I was eating them I got distracted by the wonderful smell of a young boy. I absolutely love young adorable, cute kids.  For a second, I thought that I could hear someone talking in the other room but I later realised no one was there.


After devouring my cookies, I decided to go to the living room. But as I walked closer to the room, the scent of the boy got stronger but there was no boy in sight.  “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum ! I smell the blood of an Englishman , I smell a boy here did you see one?” 
My wife replied, “I would tell you if I saw one, dear.” 
OK” I said unconvinced.  I then decided to go to my room for a long, peaceful nap.


 While I was talking to my wife, I later realised that she did not seem like herself but I knew she wasn’t lying as I trust her completely. Anyways, I wouldn't mind if there were children in my house, my wife and I would love the company. After a while I dozed off. 


When I woke up later in the day, I walked back to my wife who was in the living room watching her favourite show like it was an addiction. She nervously told me that we’d been robbed, by a cheeky boy who came in our residence.  She had given him some popcorn , then had gone into the kitchen to fetch some water but when she got back he was GONE!! And so was our precious gold. “I am so sorry I should’ve  told you we had company.” 
“Yes you should’ve told me,” I said angrily. “I forgive you but next time please tell me.”  We never talked about this again until I found out we got robbed AGAIN!!!!


 This time I was shocked!! But my wife told me that she would tell me if an intruder came in but obviously she did not want to tell me. I was extremely upset when my golden hen that laid golden eggs was stolen!! The hen was one of my prized possessions. I wondered if it was the same thief as last time. My wife had surely seen him, but maybe he tricked her. But let me tell you, he made my wife cross.  She was like a raging lion!! She was that cross!  If the boy came back, I can assure you he would not leave without giving me an apology.


Now I said I was a gentle giant but when someone steals my magic hen and my gold they are in for some trouble. That was just it. The boy did not come back for quite a while as he was enjoying his life again with his mother. Together they would walk through  the forest, thinking about what they should do with the money they now have. 


While in my room the next day, I decided  to play my golden harp as it relaxes me. After a while, I dozed off while my lovely harp continued to play like it always does. While I was sleeping, I heard  a loud screeching sound . It was my harp yelling “Master save me! Don't let him take me.”
“ Fee, fi, fo, fum the boy is back”. I now knew that boy was trying to steal my harp and I wouldn't let him get away.  I started running after the young boy and I chased him until he got to the beanstalk. As he arrived at the stalk, he dropped the harp and slid down it.  When he was down, he fetched an axe. All at once he chopped down the beanstalk and I fell to the ground. They both thought I was DEAD but I can assure you I wasn’t!  I just didn’t want him to come and haunt me again.

See I told you I was a nice and not cruel giant even though I got mad when he stole my stuff. Now go and tell this to the world and see if they believe me now!!
