That kid Dom.

IT WASN’T JUST ANY OLD DUDE WHO DECIDED, “HEY I WANT TO CREATE A KOREAN ALPHABET.”

IT WAS KING SEJONG, WHO ORDERED HIS ROYAL SCHOLARS TO CREATE THIS ALPHABET SO READING AND WRITING COULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, EVEN THE PEASANTS. IT WAS PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO BE EASY TO LEARN.

SO SHOUT OUT TO KING SEJONG, WHO REALIZED BEFORE MANY OTHERS THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIVERSAL LITERACY.

Stunning Large Cocktail Rings of the Solar System by William White

English designer William White devotes his life and passion to creating contemporary, handmade jewelry. On the constant hunt for gem stones, White loves the challenge of implementing a variety of materials.

One of his most loved designs is the scientific addition of the solar system in the form of a cocktail ring. White carefully curated each stone to match each planet’s perspective color and quality. Earth was matched with emerald, its green hue embodies Earth’s symbol of life. Other important methodical additions are the use of the semi-precious stone Aquamarine, which manifests Uranus’ blue-green color, which is the result of the absorption of red light by methane gas in its cold and remarkably clear atmosphere.

To convey a modern and elegant sensibility, White used a sterling silver finish to complement the multi-colored composition. The design is a romantic reminder of the vast universe we live in. With the exception of the size of each planet, its scientific accuracy produces a cohesive and stunning execution. You can buy the ring in his Etsy shop.
