Re: the MIA thread....anybody heard from (fill in the name)
Hello, everyone! I found this thread, and thought I'd check in to say hi. LOL...I've been gone so long, people are MIA that I never heard of! Boy, this place looks different...my gosh! Can we talk pearls now?? :)) In some ways I'm even better than I was when I first went MIA: I've quit smoking, have... |

Widget has a brother!!!
Hi all! It''s been a while, hasn''t it? About a year, actually. I haven''t bought one bauble since I last posted here, which makes me think my jewelry insanity is from PS enabling. Hmmm. I''ve spent a lot of my time obsessing about the presidential primar... |

Obama''s Speech....
Hi, all... I keep coming back to check if anyone has talked about the speech that Obama gave Tuesday. It BLEW ME AWAY. I honestly think it should be required reading and study in every high school in the country. Whole courses of study could be built around it at the college ... |

Well, the debate last night certainly was a lovefest, wasn''t it? I guess playing nice is better for both of them, but I do think verbal fisticuffs is more intertaining for the audience! Hillary always has trouble with explaining (dissembling) about her Iraq vote. I won... |

Hi...I just saw this.. Chrono''s right. I purchased that tourmaline from the cutter already cut, and only had pictures of it in its ''virgin state''. If I were looking to have a stone custom cut, I''d look for the cutter first, and trust him/her to find suitable rough to fill... |

I certainly think this stone is worth seeing in person...as has been noted, it might be AGES before you find another yellow step-cut stone to consider. I like that the GIA calls it "fancy", and gives it VG for symmetry. Once you have it in your hand, you can better judge how y... |
