That is to decide based on her personality. It has been discovered that there is a link between the type a cut a woman chooses and her own unique traits.

HISTORY OF GOLD

Before the Ancient Egyptians donned the first pieces of jewellery` gold took a 3 million year journey. Every atom of gold was forged in a collapsing star. A collapsing star is called a Supanova` which is a large explosion so hot that it can be seen across the universe. Within this chemical cauldron` reactions take place causing rare combinations of atoms with only 79 protons- this is gold. For every single gold atom in the universe` there are 1 million iron atoms. Those gold atoms are then cast out into the universe and some of those atoms may join a cloud. That cloud may condense into a planet and once embedded into the body of the planet some elements may arise close to the surface for us to dig it up.
