Does the jeweler have a website?

Yes, but it's under construction. A lot of his stuff is geared towards "more is more," and quite gaudy for my tastes (though I'm sure it sells well with the well-heeled, blue-haired cruise-ship crowd). Thankfully, he can make jewelry (flawlessly) to suit any tastes. Also, his prices are mind-numbingly low (compared to mainland US). My jaw nearly hit the floor when he quoted me a D, IF Rock.

Did you just send him a picture of what you're looking for and ask for a quote? Or, is an additional trip to STT required to talk about what you're looking for?

I called in advance, and let him know what my general requirements were (also emailing him a photo of the Tacori setting I wanted replicated). When I got there, he had an assortment of loose stones to choose from, in various price ranges. I looked over the stones, made my selection, and he had the ring made and FedEx'd to me within a week.

I love to cook. Cleaning, not so much. You know what's tougher on grease and softer on hands than Dawn? A Labrador Retriever. Forget pre-soaking. Let Old Yeller take care of that baked-on grease.

A German Sheppard also works just as great.

Hmmm. I wonder if I could sell my fiancee's ring as a whole for closer to the appraisal than I paid for it, and then flip the ring into something larger and clearer...she's at D/SI1, and she's quite the fan of both cushion cut stones and eternity bands.

She's a bad Angelina Jolie impersonation.

Of course. She's the one on the safety video that nobody watches.

Haha, but having recently seen the boring safety videos of many other airlines, I kinda miss Deltalina :D

I'm beat. And I still have work to do. Sorry, client, but you're just going to have to wait until Sunday. My brain is beyond fried after this week.

January is always a rough month at my job. At least it's over soon.

Now I really should do a couple of quick chores around the house and then hit the gym for a few minutes before my partner gets home. But for the moment it feels really good to sit in my own house and do NOTHING.

I don't. That video annoys me.
