How to Impress Your Better Half

Rodney Dangerfield was right. I get no respect, no respect. I assume this is a problem you have too; too often we get used to doing stuff for our loved ones, to the point where we forget that they can do stuff for themselves. So how to impress your better half? Well, this is a jewelry blog, so let’s talk shiny rocks.

·     Memorize the Moh’s Scale of Mineral Hardness Brains are always sexy, at least in my book. You can probably get away with just the values for the more impressive rocks. Just remember, it’s a logarithmic scale, so a mineral with a hardness of 10 (diamonds) is ten times harder than 9 (corundum, which sapphires and rubies are both variants of). Also, you get to whip out the word logarithm.

·      Observe Your Better Half in the Wild Learn again what he or she likes in jewelry. It’s always nice to be reminded that your beloved is still infatuated enough with you to remember the little details.

There! Two ways to show off a bit in front of that most treasured person, the apple in your eye. Next time you ask yourself how to impress your better half, remember: look smart and be sensitive. You convinced them to love you, the important part is keeping up the charade, right? Right.
