Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (About this sound pronunciation  (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian  polymath, painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype  of the Renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest  painters  of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and “his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote”. Marco Rosci points out, however, that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.

Woman & Jewelery. Splendid Photography

Posted on 15. Jun, 2010 by lava360.

Woman & Jewelery Photography

For years it has done its job.  It has led me not into temptation.  It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it’s time to go home.  It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion.  It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward. The jeweler allows me to wear the sapphire blue lake on my finger, the emerald green leaves around my neck, and take the citrine sunset with me wherever I go.  Jewelry has become my daytime link to nature in an office with no windows.  And if I have to work late, there’s nothing like diamond stars and a pearl full moon against an onyx night sky.

We are going to present some beautiful photography of woman and jewelery. The two things made for each other. Jewelery makes a woman perfect and complete but if a woman don’t wear jewels, its like a trash in this world.
