Most of the gold that's been extracted throughout human history has ended up as jewellery, but it has got one thing going for it and that's that it is incredibly rare.
The resulting fossils have both aesthetic and scientific value, and in 1993, Eric the pliosaur was almost made into jewelry by a broke owner looking to sell and potentially break up the pieces.
Even I myself began to know the want of money (I mean of ready money in my own pocket), and to relieve it by converting some easily spared articles of jewelery into cash.
The Palais Royale is a heavenly place, so full of bijouterie and lovely things that I'm nearly distracted because I can't buy them. Fred wanted to get me some, but of course I didn't allow it.
