RE: Old school
I prefer old too, I don't know why they changed it. Was it just because of the population growth?

Maybe, sometimes, youth think they have a newer, better idea of beauty, of how things work, etc and I think they do advance society, art, etc, but takes them sometime to come back and discover the beauty (growing older) in the craftsmanship/spirit/vein of how something in the past was created?
Also, many older buildings, rugs, houses, temples were built with the finest materials, (perhaps, more abundant which rings true with your idea of population growth) and now cheaper/efficiency are valued more?
I like to go to the estate jewelry shop (at least I once did) and the man there lets me look at the most expensive rings knowing that I will appreciate them. I have not purchased a diamond, but a few 1950's cocktail rings, but he tells me earlier on that diamonds were not even graded for nice rings--either it was A+ on clarity, etc or it was tossed aside, no yellows or dims accepted for eternal symbol.
Just as hand-knotted, wool, antique Persian rugs. Something else I love to admire!
