Music Friday: Today, country artist Bailey Hefley transforms heartbreak into empowerment in her 2019 breakout release, "Dust on a Diamond." In the emotional ballad, Hefley uses diamond imagery to describe the painful aftermath of a failed relationship. At first, the Arkansas native feels defeated and emotionally drained, but as the song unfolds, she realizes that her self-worth never disappeared. Hefley compares herself to a diamond and her former boyfriend to dust. The diamond always possessed value and beauty — it just needed the dust brushed away to shine again.

Deep in western China, where scorching dunes stretch endlessly toward the horizon, one of the world’s most treasured gemstones quietly waits beneath river stones and desert gravel. It’s an astonishing contradiction: The finest “mutton-fat” nephrite jade — among the most prized materials in Chinese culture — comes from one of the harshest and most isolated places on Earth.

When British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter first revealed the funerary mask of Tutankhamun in 1925, he was stunned by its astonishing condition. After more than 3,000 years sealed inside a tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, the youthful pharaoh’s golden visage appeared almost untouched by time. Today, the iconic artifact — displayed at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza — still looks remarkably radiant. And now, thanks to new research from Tulane University, scientists finally understand in far greater detail why gold can remain untarnished seemingly forever.

Music Friday: Today, we revisit Martha and the Vandellas and their 1967 ditty, “Third Finger, Left Hand,” a joyful ode to the timeless symbolism of the wedding band. Released as the B-side to the group’s smash hit “Jimmy Mack,” the song captures the excitement of a bride on her wedding day as she proudly recounts the moment her groom slipped a ring onto the “third finger, left hand.” The upbeat Motown tune transforms a simple jewelry tradition into a celebration of romance, commitment and dreams fulfilled.

A remarkable Victorian-era jewel with royal Irish roots and a museum-worthy emerald has resurfaced at Hancocks London, offering collectors a rare glimpse into the artistry, ingenuity and grandeur of 19th-century jewelry design. Known as the Inchiquin Emerald, the historic piece centers on a richly saturated 5.67-carat Colombian emerald long associated with the O’Brien dynasty, the Barons of Inchiquin — a noble Irish family whose lineage traces directly back to Brian Boru, the legendary 11th-century High King of Ireland.
