What with?Don't you just love that setting?
All the bags of money under your bed, of course! I thought everybody had those...maybe it's just me!
Isn't JAR the guy Mr. Bespoke from way back when wanted to do his ring? And then he had Leon do it instead?

I''m not sure. It broke sometime in the past couple of years. It involved graders taking bribes for bumping up the grades of large, high color/clarity diamonds like that one.

Way after. The news came out in early 2005, with suspicion of bribing taking place as early as 2000.

Part-time, mostly reading (still not fixed everything). (And no, given the price of the book I''d rather get some real jewels...)

I noticed that these rings were from Ellen Barkin''s collection. Regardless of how angry I was after a divorce, I would have a really difficult time selling those pieces
