I am a big fan of flowers. I am even a bigger fan of rose gold. And still, I might be the biggest fan of unique-looking jewelry.

Today’s Liquidation Center feature is this beauteous 14K Tri-Colored Gold Flower Ring. What made it catch my eye was that, well, it is only too cute. And you know, the price is adorable, too. Down from $265, this baby is now only $79! A whopping 71% in savings!

But if you’re not sold on how pretty the price is, I’m sure you’d be convinced when you gaze deeper (and then click) on the image I have up there. Still not convinced? What if I tell you there are only 3 left in stock? Would you click on the image and buy the pretty lil ring then?

While you’re mulling over whether to buy the ring for yourself or your best friend or your teenage daughter, let me tell you a little story about gold.

The metal we know as gold is an element. Meaning, it is one of the basic materials that other things can be made of. It is just like carbon and oxygen. As we all know, everything living is made up carbon elements mixed with other elements. We breathe in pure oxygen, and we do breathe out air that is a mixture of carbon and oxygen.

Gold is originally yellow. But to make white gold, the element gold is mixed with a white metal, like silver or palladium. To make rose gold, it is mixed with copper. So now we know that that pretty ring is made up of pure gold, either silver and palladium mixed with gold, and copper mixed with gold.

Oh I so adore jewelry science! Haha!
