    This is not a jewelry thing at all, but the above reminded me, and I
    found it fascinating: 

    A researcher used students as subjects, and established that humans
    could follow a scent trail across a field (on their hands and
    knees), though not nearly as well as a dog. She then devised an
    apparatus that made the subjects sniff through a single tube or two
    separate tubes next to each other-- stereo or mono-nasal smelling,
    if you will-- and found that the subjects followed a scent trail
    much more efficiently when they had stereo. 

    I somehow find this reassuring. 

    Sadly, I don't recall who did this or where. California, I'm
    guessing.
