Bead storage

I have a question for you all. I now use what I think is called a "Bead Hive" It is plastic see thru drawers that go into holders which slide together. They are rectangular shaped. Anyway a couple times when I have vacuumed the dresser where I keep the beads, I have sucked out a drawer with beads. Now I'm not that cheap, but I will not go pawing thru a dust bag to retrieve the beads and drawer. (I have a whole house system, so it would not be too easy anyway) ...

I am going to buy a ruby - a good quality one of about a carat -- emerald cut to put in a ring. Any advice as to how to buy the stone at a reasonable price?

Go to several jewelers and establish for yourself the price range of the stone (and ring) you are interested in buying and to familiarize yourself wit...

Swarovski Crystal Jewelry Set

I'm a BM in the wedding of a dealy-loved friend of mine - we've known each other for 22 years. This wedding has been unending stress for this bride. Her mother and sister have been duking it out to see who can get more in the face of the bride and wrestle away more control of the wedding (example - mother insisting on throwing the bridal shower despite what the etiquette books say, vs. sister giving a speech at the shower full of fiction about how good she was to the bride whe...

Brilliant Crystal Jewelry

I've been shopping around the diamond district in NYC and I found a stone that "looked" pretty nice -- its a round brilliant 1.00 ct, F-VS2. According to the GIA certificate, all of the dimensions on the stone seem good except for the most important -- Depth. It had a 65 depth. Does that mean that it just looks smaller? Can anyone please comment on the value of a diamond with this particular cut?In modern round brilliant cut diamonds larger than melee size...

Pearl And Diamond Necklace

I'm wearing a beautiful gold and pearl tiara (small, not intrusive). My wedding dress is halterneck with a v-neck, ivory lace. Should I stick to pearl necklace and earrings or something dark like garnets?My personal opinion says to wear only a pearl necklace and earrings. My heart tells me you should wear whatever you think looks the best. I just think that pearls are traditionally beautiful. I think you need to just try a few different things and see what looks good to you,...

Vintage jewelry

I was curious if any others collect old jewelry and what some of their favorite pieces are. The one piece I like (and wear) is a 14K tiny book locketI love vintage jewelry, too! I have a lot of crystal brooches from the 40s and 50s, many with aurora borealis stones, that I started collecting in the 80s. I had a college budget and at ...

I'm debating about what to wear, since my fiancee has given me diamond earrings and a necklace, over the past couple years. I like pearls, too, ......but wearing the gifts he gave would certainly please him. Guess I'll have to just go try them both on with the dress, and listen to the answers that show up here.I'm wearing diamond earlings my fiancee gave me for Christmas (they are very pretty... gold with dangline pear-shaped diamonds). I may get a new necklace, or may wear ...

Diamond Bezel Pendant.

Looking for supplier of watchglass and bezel fittings into which gold can be placed and then hung as a pendant. When you put the bezel wire into the pendant and the pendant itself shrinks, does the bottom of the bezel wire get tighter? That's a tube at top that the wire/chain goes through isn't it? Can you help?the bezel will get a little tighter - but not too much. I had no problem setting my stone - even after the great hole in the bottom repairs. Actually that bale ...
