I used to live on St Thomas and take the ferry over to St. John all the time to get away from the touristy feel that St. Thomas had. If I wasn't getting married in Hawaii, it would be my choice for a honeymoon. The island is beautiful and the Westin is a beautiful property. You will ... |

I have been bitten by the Don Ed Hardy bug too! Haven't got the shoes yet, but got addicted to the tee-shirts last month and already have three. I never thought I would see myself in a skull tee, but here I am loving it. And especially love the tiger tee's and hoodies...reminds me of that comcast co... |

Definietly the LV Damier Azur. I love this pattern and am getting the pouchette. But I personally don't like Burberry at all. To me, its like something my grandmother would wear/ carry. Sorry! Plus LV has great resale value. I bought my Speedy Monogram Canvas 25 two and a half years ago f... |

You are going to laugh...I've been on this forum for four monthes now and I just discovered the "shopping" section today! They may be evil, but do have the cutest summer-y dresses. BTW, I love the dress you posted. I ended up getting the Blue Angel dress: http://www.anthropologie.com/... |

Well, I really love the Romona Keveza's. I ended up ordering on of her gowns last weekend. The fabrics are beautiful, the styles are classic. And as far as simple goes- well, I ended up going a lot simpler than I originally thought I would. But, I think these simpler styles will let your beauty show... |

Normally, I don't mind a few inclusions, but this really does have a lot going on. In addition to all that going on, throw in the additional surface graining, which I can see some of the virtual loupe- and this would probably be a no-go for me. Even if it is eye-clean (which I am doubting), I have s... |

Doesn''t always need to be polished out. The right jeweler should be able to fill it in. Much better than solution, IMO. |

Seriously, not even making this up, that dress is so unflattering. I tried it on and I didn''t even want to come out of the dressing room- concuring with BigDiamonds post.

Those three were my best so far... More to come in the future, I am finding it to be a very fun hobby- And who knows, maybe one day I will "master" the art. |

Photomicrography..my sapphire pics!
So I got a couple requests to start of thread on photomicrography, after some inquiries asking about my new avatar. Basically photomicrography is as it sounds- magnified (10x to 40x) photos of gemstone inclusions, taken through the lens of a microscope. I recently starting ... |

Date: 4/1/2008 8:55:40 AM Author: Phoenix I'm no expert, so others please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the bezelled halo's can make the halo's look bigger.
