Re: My iPhone 4 was stolen
iPhone retrieval was successful! However I'm majorly confused as to what really happened. I think there's some major chunk of the story that wasn't communicated properly, or is just flat out missing. First of all, the evidence guy at the local police station brings me my phone and it's locked- it sa... |

Re: Do things about your SO drive you crazy sometimes?
Dreamer, my husband is the same way and it annoys me too, so don't feel bad! Its so funny to me that someone else shares this complaint :bigsmile: We were married in a church and had to go to a marraige prep course to see what our "love language" is and his was touch and affection and min... |

Re: Do things about your SO drive you crazy sometimes?
Well, I'm pretty sure no matter how much you adore someone, living in close proximity with anybody makes you want to smack them on a fairly regular basis! -The soup slurping. It's my absolute least favorite husband habit ever. I can beg him, tease him, get mad, ask nicely... no dice. He will slurp s... |

WOW. You've had an eventful few weeks babe. People baffle me. They really do. What possesses people to act that way? I'm so proud you were so proactive! And it was rewarded. YAY for a good outcome.

Re: My iPhone 4 was stolen
Oh lord, this has gotten *weird*. So two nights ago, my phone dropped off the map- couldn't track it, so I assumed it was finally wiped. I watched whomever had it wandering around their house with it for a couple of days before that. No response from police. I finally got in touch with the officer i... |

Re: Wanna vote on possible settings?
I am a fan of #4, and #5, but really- all of them are lovely and you're gonna end up with a winner whatever you go with. I love the tapered shank look quite a bit myself- it always just has spoken to me, and it's flattering to both the stone and the finger it's on- so maybe #5 is my favorite by a sm... |

Re: My iPhone 4 was stolen
We tested the remote lock on this one, and it will ring, and they can answer it. Thats just all they can do. Oh cool. I had no idea if it rang or not. Thank you for checking!

Re: My iPhone 4 was stolen
Ugh. That sucks that you just had this happen too. But your post was super helpful Ame, thank you! I called 911- unfortunately the only way to file a report- and talked to a police officer in the jurisdiction where it was stolen, which apparently is what I had to do. He said they'd "call me&quo... |

My iPhone 4 was stolen
Someone swiped it off the table while I was at dinner with my husband last night. I thought I had it in my purse up until this morning- then I finally realized it really, really was gone. So I tracked it using the Mobile Me app and someone has taken it across the state, hundreds of miles away. I had... |

Re: The strangest times to talk or think about jewelry.
I had my annual lady parts exam recently, and the doctor and nurse, both women, started admiring my rings. We had a nice little chat about antique jewelry while I was there on the table, feet in the stirrups. :oops: Haha OMG. Me too! I was having my IUD changed out and the nice receptionist was hol... |

Re: Has anyone had thyroid surgery?
It is hard giving yourself time to heal. Do your best, you'll be totally fine and in no time at all, it'll be a small blip on the radar of your memories. You seriously can't even see my scar now. I can point it out to people and they squint and are like... "What? Where?" If you get a good ... |

Re: Has anyone had thyroid surgery?
I had the exact same situation at 20. I had the surgery without knowing it was cancerous- the surgery was way easier than the biopsy really. I was fast-tracked to surgery within about a week of finding out there were abnormalities in the biopsy, and they didn't know that the smaller of the various t... |

Dilaudid was what I ended up on, post thyroid surgery. I totally don't recall a lot of conversations that day! I'm so glad the surgery went well. Enjoy the pain-meds button while it lasts

Re: Ringless and awkward - what should I do?
Galateia, I totally just wanted to say I understand where you are. My husband works with his hands constantly and leaves his ring off most of the time consequently so we both get asked all sorts of awkward questions. And I was once a size 0 with a size 2.5 ring- now I wear a size 14 with a size 5.25... |

Re: VC reset OK as a RHR?
I would absolutely wear that as a RHR. It's gorgeous! Does it make you happy to look at it? If so, I say wear it. I have a friend that wears hers that way, and I don't think it looks out of place or anything. (I was told a story by a jeweler recently that women at one time used to move their engage... |

Re: VC reset OK as a RHR?
Wear it as a RHR. God forbid if I ever am in the same position, I'd do the same with mine (especially since it *is* a RHR and not my actual wedding ring regardless of what finger I normally wear it on). I'm sorry to hear you're going through that, bright ice. No matter who made the decision, it's ma... |

Re: YAY! I'm officially shopping for an OEC.
Awww. Yeah, Dover sucks for accuracy. Too bad they didn't say that was who appraised it or scan it for you, that would've saved much hassle! I do think the M from Yekutiel had the nicest faceting of any of the options so far, especially the nice regular center facets I know you like. Will be waiting... |

Re: WWPS do - reset, refurbish, or keep as-is?
I don't feel that there are sacred cows in the settings of these older rings, personally. Enough will survive as a record of the times, we don't need all of them. Agree. Plus most of the time we re-set them on PS with colored stones... totally in keeping with the era. And I didn't think that's a tr... |

Re: Fake OEC ?
Two additional tests you might run are a blacklight, and checking the girdle - if it's faceted or bruted, it's probably real, if it's polished smooth, it's pretty much always a CZ (or, at least, I have yet to hear of an exception). But it sounds like you're exercising caution and, hey, buying at pr... |

Re: If you lost your engagement ring would you.....
I *did* lose the original one, and that's why I have the two larger OECs. I did upgrade- a LOT. The original was a .20ish ct total weight '40s set, with a center around .10. It was a terribly cut stone in retrospect- I can't recall it *ever* throwing off any rainbow fire at all. I liked the style of... |

Re: Vintage Anniversary Ring- 2.5 carats of transitional-cut
Oh my dear GOD Circe! It's beautiful. Really truly. You got so lucky with the dealer honoring an old quote! I cannot wait to see what you do with the setting. I bet it is incredibly fiery in person. It definitely does not look like an RB even with the longer LGFs. And fluoro! YUM. I don't have a sin... |

Re: Antique Oval and Singlestone Setting=Perfection!
Oh WOW. I'd wear that beauty in a heartbeat! The setting is just perfect. I love ornate, antique inspired settings for old cuts. And bezels. Ari outdid himself. And what an amazing high color! I can't wait til Monday either

Re: YAY! I'm officially shopping for an OEC.
I think you should compare both. That M's cut looks just lovely, and I think comparing two in person is a great plan. Whichever way you go- you're gonna end up with something gorgeous! It's gonna be like Christmas this coming week at your house!

Re: WWPS do - reset, refurbish, or keep as-is?
If you get someone to make a delicate bezel, I think they're second to none for showing the stone's patterning. I didn't actually expect that until I had my OEC in one- and OMG you don't realize how much the patterning is interrupted by prongs until you see the stone without them. It just... makes t... |
