Sex steroids, also known as gonadal steroids, are steroid hormones that interact with vertebrate androgen or estrogen receptors. The term sex hormone nearly always is synonymous with sex steroid.

Production

Natural sex steroids are made by the gonads (ovaries or testes), by adrenal glands, or by conversion from other sex steroids in other tissues such as liver or fat.

Functions

Sex steroids play important roles in inducing the body changes known as primary sex characteristics and secondary sex characteristics.

The development of both primary and secondary sexual characteristics is controlled by sex hormones after the initial fetal stage where the presence or absence of the Y-chromosome and/or the SRY gene determine development.

Synthetic sex steroids

There are also many synthetic sex steroids. Synthetic androgens are often referred to as anabolic steroids. Synthetic estrogens and progestins are used in methods of hormonal contraception. Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic estrogen.

Types

In many contexts, the two main classes of sex steroids are androgens and estrogens, of which the most important human derivatives are testosterone and estradiol, respectively. Other contexts will include progestagen as a third class of sex steroids, distinct from androgens and estrogens. Progesterone is the most important and only naturally-occurring human progestagen.

Sex steroids include:

• androgens:
  • testosterone
  • androstenedione
  • dihydrotestosterone
  • dehydroepiandrosterone
  • anabolic steroids

• estrogens:
  • estradiol
  • diethylstilbestrol

• progestagens:
  • progesterone
  • progestins

Boucheron is a French jewellery house.

Since its founding by Frederic Boucheron in 1858, the house has created exceptional pieces in the high jewellery, watch and jewellery ranges. Throughout the history of the House of Boucheron, Frederic Boucheron was often a pioneer: he was the first jeweller to open on the Place Vendôme in 1893, he did successful experiments with diamond engraving, and was the precursor of the “nature” style by using snakes and other symbolic animal figures of 19th century Art Nouveau.’An insatiable quest’ Boucheron. Retrieved 17 September 2006.

Boucheron today is one the most renowned French enterprises in the jewellery world and is celebrated for its creativity, its know-how and audacity. Boucheron is also known for its perfume distribution; in 1988 the brand captured the spirit of its craft and transformed it into a fragrance by creating the first “parfum bijou”.

In 2005, Boucheron launched a “bijoux” line to reinforce the commercial expansion of the brand.

Boucheron for Vertu

In earlier 2007, Boucheron partnered with Vertu, a luxury phone service company, and announced plans of unveiling a diamond-encrusted cell-phone which would uphold the signature Boucheron name. The phone became available in two different styles, the Signature Cobra (pictured at right) features 1 pear-cut diamond, a round white diamond, 2 emerald eyes and 439 rubies. Selling at a retail value of $310,000(USD), Vertu plans on only producing 8 of the Signature Cobra’s. The second phone has no rubies, 26 will be produced, and sells at a value of $113,000(USD).

The Eagle Diamond was discovered in Eagle, Wisconsin in 1876 by a man named Charles Woods while he was digging a well. The land in which he was digging was not his own, it belonged to Thomas Deveraux, and Charles and his wife Clarissa were renters. Woods did not think the stone was very valuable, and believed it to be a topaz, because the color of the 16.25 carat (3.25 g) stone was a “warm sunny color”. Some years later, when the Woods family fell on hard times, Clarissa sold the stone for $1.00 to a Samuel B. Boynton of Milwaukee. Sometime after the sale, Boynton took the stone to Chicago for appraisal where it was revealed to be a diamond, and worth at least $US 700.

Boynton sold the diamond to Tiffany’s in New York City for US$ 850. It remained at Tiffany’s until World War I. J.P. Morgan bought the diamond, and presented it as a gift to the American Museum of Natural History, in New York City. It was placed in the J.P. Morgan exhibit along with the Star Sapphire of India and the de Long Ruby until it was stolen on October 29, 1964 by Murph the Surf.

At that time of the stone’s discovery, it was one of the largest ever recovered in the continental United States. It has been hypothesized that the Eagle Diamond was probably cut into smaller stones and no longer exists.

Diamond Point is an unincorporated community in Clallam County, Washington, located on the Miller Peninsula. Located mostly along the waterfront, Diamond Point is entirely residential. It is serviced by the small Diamond Point Airport, notable for taxiways that run across town streets, connecting to hangars that are adjacent to driveways. Diamond Point is at the northwestern corner of Discovery Bay, and looks north to Protection Island.

History

Diamond Point was a quarantine station for ships coming into the Puget Sound from outside the United States. There are still old relics of Diamond Point’s past visible, including a crumbling dock, a spray house, a utility building, a hospital, and a nurses’ quarters. The hospital and nurses’ quarters are now private residences.
