The Diamonds are fine quality, very clean and sparkly.

The overall finish of the ring is wonderful. Everything is smooth to the touch.

Significant events of 1908

The year 1908 began at midnight when a 700-pound "electric ball" fell from the flagpole atop the New York Times building—the first-ever ball-drop in Times Square. It ended 366 days later (1908 was a leap year) with a nearly two-and-a-half-hour flight by Wilbur Wright, the longest ever made in an airplane.
