Re: Show us your lotus rings!

mrsjacob- I agree that the color combo is lovely! I'm liking the east/west orientation of your gem :)) Also, little update, I am now the proud owner of mariedtiger's absolutely stunning natural blue topaz in the lush lotus setting. I gotta say, it's even more divine in person and quickly became one ...

Re: Finally! I've got my own sapphire to show off

I gotta say, I love it! It has a dreamy, velvety quality that just seems to evoke an heirloom type feel, in my opinion at least.

I'm sure you'll find the perfect setting for that lovely!

Re: Local Jewelers in SE Michigan who have CS experience?

Maebelle, you are too kind :halo: I sent the sapphire out to Wink in Idaho, since I didn't really care for the Vatche dealer closest to me here in MI. I knew what I wanted and I wanted it done right! They did a superb job

Re: Local Jewelers in SE Michigan who have CS experience?

I wish I knew. I have yet to have a stone set locally, though I would love to be able to. There is Lawrence Jewelers up in Fort Gratiot that I like to visit, but I've yet to have something set by them. A few of the people there are really great and decently knowledgeable.

good luck!

Re: How much student loan debt do you/did you have?

I have about 45K and I just graduated this spring. I received quite a bit in scholarships, grants, and academic awards, all of which I worked very hard to earn. My parents are so far in debt that they couldn't even think about helping me out other than a pat on the back. I plan on continuing my educ...

Re: Yes to this spess?

If you're not totally set on it, then maybe it's not worth it to keep. Although, I once picked up a spinel, but when I saw it irl it wasn't what I expected or what I was originally looking for. I kept it anyway. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I just got it set and I have to say I'm re...

Bright Ice, while I can't say that I know what it's like to go through a divorce, I've watched my parents in theirs, and I've got to say it was probably the best thing for them.

I've seen my FI get a concussion. He was out on the football field and took a weird hit. It was obvious to us in the stands that something wasn't quite right. He doesn't remember part of that game. Since then he gets really bad migraines. No insurance though, so hopefully it's nothing too bad. I've ...
