What jewelry did people wear in the Middle Byzantine period (10th-12th C. CE) in the Peloponnese? A technological and analytical case study

The present paper presents the preliminary results of the archaeometric analysis of a Middle Byzantine jewelry assemblage made of non-precious metals from the ancient site of Pallantion, near Tripoli (Peloponnese, Greece). The assemblage under examination consists of 26 artifacts, including earrings, finger rings and buckles. Macroscopic observations and optical microscopy were used to examine the manufacturing technology of the artifacts, with a particular focus on the manufacturing technology of wires. The proposed methodology combined a Handheld X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (HH-XRF) and a Micro X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (μ-XRF) to group the alloys used in the manufacture of the jewelry, despite the presence of corrosion. This methodology indicated that the majority of the artifacts was made of bronze, leaded or not, and gunmetal. Moreover, a quantification criterion was used to determine the state of preservation of the surface of the jewelry. Overall, the present study highlights the manufacturing technology of jewelry of the Middle Byzantine period and the tendency to imitate silver jewelry with lower-cost materials.

Tarnish tattoos - localised cutaneous argyria from sterling silver in fresh piercings: a case series.

Tarnish tattoo is a form of localised cutaneous argyria resulting from the deposition of silver into the skin following exposure to silver jewellery in fresh piercings. This report presents the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of 4 female patients with tarnish tattoos on the nose and ear from wearing silver jewellery. All four patients wore silver studs or rings immediately following the piercing. Two of the four patients underwent treatment with nanosecond Q-switched 1064nm Neodymium: Yttrium Garnet laser (QS Nd: YAG) and Q-switched Alexandrite 755nm lasers with minimal improvement. Tarnish tattoos are an under-recognized side-effect of wearing silver jewellery in fresh piercings. The grey-blue discolouration from tarnish tattoos can be challenging to treat with nanosecond QS lasers.

Tarnished jewellery and skin - a subtle external marker indicating exposure to hydrogen sulfide.

A 39-year-old woman was found lying in the rear of a car at her home address. A smell of rotten eggs was noted and bottles of brick, tile and paver cleaner and lime sulfur were found in the rear of the vehicle. Suicide notes were found in the house. At autopsy there was no evidence of significant trauma with black tarnishing of a silver-coloured ring and a silver-coloured necklace noted with staining of the underlying skin, in keeping with a chemical reaction between hydrogen sulfide and silver. Internally the most significant finding was unusual greenish discolouration of the gray matter of the external and cut surfaces of the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum and brain stem. No other organs had this discoloration. Death was attributed to hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Skin discoloration from silver jewellery may represent a subtle external marker for lethal or non-lethal hydrogen sulfide exposure.

Plains Indian German silver from Oklahoma: the Smithsonian’s Davis collection

German silver jewelry has a historic and ongoing role in the social and ritual life of Indian people on the Southern Plains. A remarkably well-documented collection of German silverwork assembled in central Oklahoma in 1966 reveals much about the economics and social context of the craft at that time. The collection, now at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, includes the work of seven smiths from five tribes, together with information on production and circulation. In addition to biographies of the craftsmen, the documentation positions the objects within social processes involving craftworkers, commercial outlets, the Peyote religion, Native consumers, and an elusive non-Native market.

LEGAL SOLUTIONS To SELL GOLD and SILVER JEWELRY in DEBT


 
 
 
 This research deals with the ruling on selling gold and silver jewelery in debt. It is well known that the majority of jurists and modern Fiqh Jurisprudence have agreed on the inviolability of selling gold and silver jewelery with religion. Therefore I wanted to look for legal solutions and jurisprudential exegesis from falling into forbidden riba. There are two legitimate ways to get rid of falling into riba:
 The first is his photo: two people are contracted to buy jewelery in cash, but the buyer buys the jewelry from the seller, then he buys all or part of the price. The buyer then receives the money and then pays the seller a price for the jewelry
 
 
 
 
 The second way out: His image is that a person deals with a goldsmith, and he takes gold and silver jewelry as a loan. The lender then refunds it to him other than the other currencies, such as the Iraqi dinar, the US dollar or other currencies.

The Microstructure Characteristics Evolution of Bulk High-Purity Silver for High Relief Application

Silver products with high relief have become popular in the silver decoration industry. However, it is difficult to obtain these products through conventional processing at ambient temperature. The aim of this work is to solve this problem by increasing the deformation temperature. Detailed studies were conducted on the evolution of microstructure characteristics in bulk high-purity silver by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to achieve high-relief applications at elevated temperatures. The high temperature sample is mainly composed of recrystallized and substructured grains, exhibiting a more stable state than the ambient temperature sample. More than 70% annealing twins are observed in the hot-working sample. They are characterized by the amount of Σ3n-type triple grain boundary junctions within large grain clusters formed by multiple twinning. These particular boundaries improve the intergranular corrosion resistance and degradation, which is significantly essential for high-purity silver jewelry exposed to sweat and air. The closed multi-coining processes at different temperatures were conducted subsequently. The performance of workpieces demonstrates that increasing the deformation temperature is a viable alternative for producing durable high-relief silver products.
