New Zealand’s Bay Of Islands

Post by david11 »

hello
The Bay of Islands is a premier New Zealand holiday destination.

Just 237 kilometres north of New Zealand's major airport city on the North Island, Auckland, or a matter of about three hours driving, the Bay of Islands comprises mainland townships and close to 150 islands, many virtually untouched by civilisation.

Not only is it a romantic and idyllic New Zealand holiday destination but the Bay of Islands is, in fact, the cradle of New Zealand nationhood with historic Waitangi within its precincts.

Opening out to the South Pacific, the Bay of Islands features innumerable coves and inlets which lend themselves to forays into surprising discovery.

Art Deco Jewelry and its importance

Post by ribloen »

This type of jewelry was usually composed of a combination of pearls, rubies, gold, chrome, steel and sometimes plastic. These materials were shaped into geometric designs, such as circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and arcs. There are several styles of art deco jewelry, to include glass, hammered metal, machined, and jeweled.

Raymond Templier designed the first of the art deco jewelry that used diamonds and rubies. This style of vintage jewelry kept the same geometric shapes but with added flare. Most pieces of jeweled vintage jewelry were made with onyx or other dark stones, against a platinum or white gold background.

hello
Ah, to laze away the days on a perfect beach with a perfect companion. I'm talking about New Zealand's Bay of Islands, just about three hours by road from Auckland, one of the first places I went to on my very first visit to New Zealand. The Bay of Islands is a necklace of coastal townships nearly encircling a bay with close to 150 islands, many virtually untouched by civilisation. Not only is it a romantic and idyllic holiday setting but the Bay of Islands is, in fact, the cradle of New Zealand nationhood with historic Waitangi within its region.
Thanks
