Indeed, those who wait render the highest form of service. 
 It requires self-control, maturity, faith, and the greatest of them all -  love.
 Waiting is a mystery of life. It is something that needs to be done, yet sometimes people underestimate the spiritual gift that comes with it.

The Sanctity of Waiting

Every day is filled and shaped with all those little moments of waiting. You wait for meals to be served, for a Facebook message to arrive, for a friend to text or show up for a date. You sit through heavy traffic, fall in line at concerts and listen to the recorded music when making a utility phone call. Airports are great pantheons of waiting filled with people who love. People wait for rains to stop, and for mornings to come.
People wait to grow from childhood to maturity, for those inner voices that guide your way to the next stop. There’s graduation, the first job, the first promotion. There is success, security, and recognition.

“You Only Live Once”

Yet current philosophies go against this, promoting instant pleasure and transcendence. Life is short – eat, drink and be merry because one day you will die. Media rationalises these irresponsible acts, and warns against dropping any anchors in the currents of life.

Why is this?

Why can you not get it right now what you so desperately want and need? Why must you seemingly waste so much time? You might as well ask why trees take so long to bear fruit – a coal to turn into a diamond – sand in a clam to transform into a pearl. There is no simple answer to saying goodbye to someone you love because of duty; or because seeking a path – good-byes, like waiting, are also mysteries of life.

What do you lose when you rush blindly into Melbourne jewellery designers and foolishly commit when you are neither mature nor responsible enough? You lose the hope of truly loving or of being loved. Look back to all the great love stories of history and literature – isn’t their very essence filled with this strange but common mystery – that waiting is part of the substance – the basic fabric against which a life well-lived is written?

How Do You Know?

There is no way you can make someone else truly love you or you them, except through silent, comforting presence that doesn’t demand. Love is patient, love is difficult, and real love waits for the longest time. All you can rely on are your gut, your heart and your mind – just yourself, and not anyone else. If they’re saying different things, just keep contemplating on your own life, your own values. Be still, and you will be enlightened.

Is your relationship truly worth diamond, gold, or even platinum Robert H Parker and Sons wedding rings?

Not every gemstone that's red is ruby. Red may forever be associated with rubies, but that doesn't mean you should forget about the other stones that prominently feature this majestic color.

Diamond clarity describes the absence or presence of flaws inside or on the surface of the diamond or other gemstones. A stone with perfect clarity or clearness is rare. Most flaws that exist in jewellery grade diamonds can&rsquo;t be seen without looking at them through a jeweller&rsquo;s magnifying loupe. </p>

Diamonds are forever. This is in the sense that their dazzle and beauty can leave an imprint on our hearts. But physically, they're not eternal. They may be the hardest substance on earth, but that doesn't mean they're not exempt from deterioration and destruction. Which is why you have to do your best to preserve their sparkle.
