Re: What are the things you simply can't let go and get rid
Books. I collect insatiably, and sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach - I'm sure there are books in here I've owned for ten years and never read. And of the ones that I have read and REread on a regular basis, I'm sure loads are now digitally available. And yet, here I am surrounded by more ... |

Re: I feel like PS is turning me into a brat
Hi Cygnet, I've been following your unfortunate hiccups and it led me to this thread. I'm glad that you're ordering a new ring! I saved this picture from a long time ago but don't remember if it belongs to a PS-er. I hope it helps you visualize it better and motivate you to finalize things because ... |

Re: Crib Escapees
[quote="oobiecoo"][/quote] I can't speak for all toddler parents, but ... it doesn't help. Mine is surprisingly agile in those things. (We suspect it was a combination of being tall and upper body strength that helped him hoist himself over.) |

Re: White sapphire vintage step cut ring
That is really cool! I have a few rings from that period in that style, and I LOVE them. No asschers, though - you lucky, lucky lady! That's a rare, fun find. |

Vendor saw my listing of their work and offered to swap?
I could use a bit of advice on an unusual situation. I'm currently listing some things I don't wear anymore for sale, for a variety of reasons - some were presents that were never my style, some of them I bought myself but just always pass over for one reason or another, and some of them are kinda f... |

Re: Crib Escapees
Heh, we anchored them almost immediately (my husband was a climber, too, and his parents are full of horrifying stories), so it's less the fear of the bookcase falling on him and more just the fear of his falling. I'm thinking if I block off the climbable height shelves somehow ...? |

Re: Crib Escapees
Man, I could have started this thread. My son started getting out of his crib at 16 months, and we're still not quite sure how: we'd put him to bed and then hear crying, come in and find him wandering the room in his sleepsack. It's not like there was ever a thumping sound, so he didn't fall ... he ... |

Re: What Is Your Colored Gem Collection Worth?

Re: Colored Stone E-rings/Eyecandy
And another gift from my folks ... that I'm sorry to say I can't wait to reset.

Re: Colored Stone E-rings/Eyecandy
My paraiba, tourmaline, alexandrite ring, which was a gift from my folks when I got my Ph.D. Loads of sentimental value, but oh man, I cannot wait to reset these stones. It's not their fault, but all I can see when I look at the ring is "Turtle!" I'm thinking a 5-stone band in rich yellow ... |

Re: Colored Stone E-rings/Eyecandy
It's been brought to my attention that I've been remiss in posting my colorful treasures, so I thought I'd pop in with some pics of a few! First up: my new Art Deco sapphire baby ring, pictured with the band I got for my one-year anniversary. They go together pretty well! |

Re: I just wanna say -- the random comments thread
Oh, FFS. Okay, backstory. For my Ph.D. graduation, my colored stone dealer daddy wanted to make me up a ring. He wanted to use the good merchandise, too ... paraiba ... alexandrite ...

Re: Would you exchange it for a bigger size
My used to want to stick to VS1 or above. Then I got my first Si1 stone ... and I've never looked back. These days, I think I consider clarity to be the least important of the 4C's. I'll get high clarity if everything else is EXACTLY what I want, but otherwise? SI all the way, baby. Even people arou... |

Re: Blue Sapphire aka My Blue Dream - Photos

Re: Colored center stone rings with a matching band?
A) I think the ring you are thinking of would be a GORGEOUS match! B) While I really love the channel-set band of square-cut stones ... there's no way to size down from a 9 to a 4.5, not unless you're planning to reset entirely.
