50's Fashion Blast From The Past

No, poodle skirts are not back in. But other hallmarks of 50's fashion are. The flowing skirts that emphasize femininity are back, as society begins to take another look at the advantages of looking like a woman. Some of the styles that emphasize curves are also back. Charm bracelets (albeit in a newer form) have also enjoyed a resurgence, as have tight shirts that cover the midriff, mysteriously revealing the womanly form beneath even while concealing it. The soft, flowing styles of 50's fashion in dresses have been reappearing over the last few years, encouraging women to remember what it is...

Advantages Of Titanium Jewelry?

Q: Help me out, what are the advantages of titanium jewelry? I've read about people using it, and I've seen it in catalogs. But when I go to my local piercing emporiums, the sales people tell me they don't carry titanium, only niobium which is: 1)'just as good' 2)'better because niobium is prettier' and 3)'cheaper than titanium'. Well I guess I'm just hung on the idea of sticking titanium in my body. They make rockets and missles and stuff out of titanium! :-) Could we open a discussion on titanium?

Any Luck With Niobium Or Hematite?

Q: has anyone with nickel/surgical steel allergies/hypersensitivities had any luck with niobium or hematite? i can't use nickel, steel, or gold... i've used sterling for a few years, but am wondering about the more readily available niobium and hematite... i talked to a body piercer (friend) and he suggested avoiding anything but silver since i don't know for sure... then again, he'd never run across anyone with steel and gold hypersensitivities... he also suggested putting in sterling spacers so that i could wear other metals (no skin contact)... i'm really liking the looks of some of the hematite hoops, but i'm not willing to risk...

Anything Suitable. Anyone Can Help Me?

Q: I would like to line my jewelry boxes with fabric but cannot find anything suitable. I have tried velveteen but it is too thick and only comes in very dark colours.

If you need...

A Ring Is Your Thing

The circular shape of rings symbolizes completeness or unity. While rings worn on the ring finger of the left hand stand for a sealed promise of love and devotion, rings denote more than romantic feelings. Throughout history rings worn by priests or bishops told of their faithful devotion to the church. Before the advent of notarized documents, royalty and other officials sealed a letter or document with melted wax and then imprinted their ring on the wax. Whether for love, loyalty or confirming authenticity, rings are usually worn often and are a consistent part of someone's jewelry. Therefore it is important...

Bridal Jewelry--ok To Look For Bargains?

Q: Where have people been buying their wedding jewelry? I don't mean rings--we've already ordered ours and splurged on something nice, since they're one of the few things from the wedding day we'll keep, other than each other. I'm thinking about necklaces, earrings, and the like. I rarely wear necklaces other than a somewhat beat-up Celtic cross, my ears aren't pierced (once they were, but they kept getting infected and I decided it wasn't worth it), and I don't have many occasions in my life where elaborate jewelry is called for. Also, our family doesn't exactly...

Buying And Selling Wholesale Jewelry

Buying and selling wholesale jewelry can be a very profitable business, or just a great way to obtain fashionable accessories at low prices. Most stores and resellers purchase their wares at wholesale prices directly from the manufacturer or from direct importers.

To obtain jewelry for wholesale prices, buyers typically have to purchase in bulk. Retailers buy such large quantities of the items that it makes it worthwhile to the wholesale vendor to sell the products at...

Buying Diamond Jewelry: Know What To Look For

Q: My mother-in-law gave me an old ring (platinum setting with four diamonds) as an engagement present, with the understanding that I'd sell it. It was appraised at $5K back in the early 80s, but the paperwork has been lost. It's not a particularly attractive piece, to me it looks like the stones (different shapes) were just haphazardly put on one rng. How should I go about selling this? I know *nothing* about this process. Do I just bring it to a number of jewellers who handle estate jewelry and go for the highest price? ...

Buying Fine Jewelry

Q: Lately I have become more and more interested in buying fine jewelry for myself. All of the fine jewelry I currently have was either inherited or given to me, so I don't have a clue about buying.

Caring For A Diamond Ring

A diamond ring is a lifetime investment. While a diamond is the hardest known substance on the planet, it is still vulnerable to chipping and scratching.

It is very important that one's diamond ring is not stored with other jewelry because of the possibility of scratching or tangling with other items. Also, a diamond...

Celtic Jewelry

We think of the Celts as mainly located in Great Britain and Ireland, but they migrated throughout Europe before the bulk of them finally settled in what we consider Celtic territory. As a result, the Celts have had a profound influence on Western culture. Nowhere is this influence more visible than in jewelry. Celtic jewelry is perennially popular, and there are many designs that allow for creativity and self-expression. While many use Celtic jewelry to showcase their heritage, many of non-Celtic descent find the jewelry to be attractive and interesting. Many who do not have specifically Celtic heritage connect the wearing...

Chinese Design Silk Shirt With A Chinese Jewelry

Q: I imagine most of the women will be in beaded gowns. But I was thinking a pair of dressy black pants and a Chinese design silk shirt with a Chinese jewelry set (parue is it called?) I wouldn't even consider this if it were a charity ball type affair, but it's a birthday party. What do you think? A: I think if the party is, indeed, black tie, that this outfit is totally inappropriate. In fact, it's barely appropriate for semi-formal. black tie for a woman should be after 6pm and consists of a formal, ankle-length or longer...

Choosing Prom Jewelry

Prom is undoubtedly one of the finest times of a young woman's life. Up until this point, there has been very little else to compare with the prospect of a prom.

Christian Jewelry Store

Q: Can you bargain with a jeweler as you can with a car dealer? My girlfriend and I have seen some rings we like a Henry Silverman's.A:Probably not at Silverman's, and generally not at any jewelry store. The exception is with expensive stuff (> $2k or so); local places might be willing to dicker a bit. (Big places, like Tiffany's -- if you want to go to Dallas for it -- won't dicker on stuff less than about $5k.) A couple of bits of unsolicited, impertinent, advice: Silverman's stuff isn't really all that high quality. Before you buy anything from them, try looking at...

Christian Religious Jewelry

Q: Christian Symbols -- WORMS? I know that's the reason given often, but a former pastor at our church had studies - the brushed stainless steel common cup was safer even than the individual shot glasses. Any reaction?A:When I was too little to escape going to church/Sunday school, I seem to remember being told several different things. One was that any physical representation of Jesus would be blasphemous, because no matter how artistic or beautiful it was, it couldn't possibly be correct, and mis-representing Jesus was blasphemy. Another was that *any* representational art used for devotional purposes was "making graven images", which was not only prohibited in the Ten Commandments, but was...

Class Ring Online, Why Are Grad Rings So Expensive?

Q: Should i just go to a jewellery store and ask them to make up a ring with my school name and major? my school charges 200 bucks for silver ring. the silver content is worth about a dollar as silver is about 12 buck an ounze.A:If they're that junky, why do you want one? And if you want more, then perhaps it's worth checking with local jewelers to see what's available. But even so, I suspect you may not be able to save all that much money on even a simple ring, and chances are, even so,...

Clean 14k Gold That Doesn't Look Like Gold? Water Damage Looks Like Rust, Electronic Way To Clean?

Q: My first Gold ring.. I have found half a dozen Silver rings over the past 2 months (first 2 months using a detector) and all at really worked out parks(including 1 Spider shaped, silver and marquasite yesterday), today I went to a park and just parked in an area for really no reason (Finding rings is a LOT of luck!) and within 5 minutes of working the really muddy ground (again I have no reason why I picked this area... I just stopped there! It is luck!) I pulled up a ring that looks like it...

Cleaning White Gold

You would think that it would be a very simple thing to clean your white gold rings - actually it is simple, but you just have to be careful what you use on your rings. Ammonia and some other types of chemicals will ruin your white gold jewelry. No one wants to cause damage to their jewelry, so a lot of times you may avoid cleaning them to avoid damaging them, but then you lose that elegant shine that white gold produces. You want to make sure that you either have your white gold cleaned by a professional or clean them...

Consignment

Q: I called the two consignment stores closest to me to see if they would put my jewelry on consignment, and both said that they wouldn't be interested. The first one said that they don't take beaded jewelry that people make themselves, the other said they just wouldn't be interested. Most of the rest of the consignment stores specialize in childrens items.A:More places take consignment then you may realize. Go into any gallery style shop or shop that carries jewelry in the pricerange you are aiming at (of course they don't need to carry something...

Costume Jewelry

When most people think of costume jewelry, they think of it as cheap or tawdry. However, costume jewelry can be an elegant and affordable way to wear jewelry.

Costume Jewelry And Paste [was Costume Jewelry.

Q: I may be over-emphasizing the current meaning of costume -- is there an older one -- but it seems to imply that at some time in the past alal jewelry was good jewelry except that used in costumes for plays, etc. Or maybe it was a convenient name to describe it, or even a euphemism for cheap jewelry. Anyone know? Merriam-Webster Collegiate dates "costume jewelry" to 1927. This did not particularly surprise me, because I doubt that at an earlier time the average woman would want to be associated with something with a name which would...

Customized Ring Mountings

Ring mountings are the parts of rings that actually hold the stone. Without them, there would be no ring. And while it can be a very rewarding experience to go ring shopping and look at stones already set in ring mountings, it can be a more personal experience to customize your ring to a degree by choosing a ring mounting that goes with a stone, kind of a mix and match. And it is even possible to go to a professional jewelry maker and have ring mountings made that are completely customized to your unique taste. When choosing to go to...

Custom Jewelry?

Q: A friend of mine was thinking about getting a pair of cartilege piercings (we were talking about my new industrial! :) but he wanted some cutom jewelry before he got it done. He is interested in a pair of longish (2-3 inches) spikes that would come out the top, looking like a sort of cyberpunkish elf. I thought of some of the labret spikes, but with the round backing I'm not sure it would fit under the cartilege curve. He also wanted them in hematite or black titanium. Anyone know of anything like this?A:I would tend to...

Q: Aside from diamond or blue diamond jewelry, you can add in a pair of electrum black sapphire which give 2 AC, 35 HP and 25 mana each (yeah, you don't need the mana, but come on, 70 HP??)

I also wouldn't mention PGDA as that's not exactly a purveyor of high-quality items. Piercing Pagoda, Inc. is...

Diamond Jewelry Selling Used

Q: My diamond engagement ring actually is worth 3 times what DH paid for it the last time I had it appraised. Is it the gold that went up or the stone?A:There is a difference between buying for investment and just buying jewellery. For investment, one expects a higher return at sale, as in selling for a higher price than the stone was bought for. That is very different than selling used jewellery. There doesn't need to be a profit, although that can happen. However, there is no need to take a loss. I am an amateur but I...

Discount Jewelry

Most people scoff at the idea of buy fine jewelry at discount prices at places like Walmart or through Overstock.com. This mistrust, however, is misplaced.

Anybody out there who can help me out?A:I think Tombstone Bodyworks are the U.S. distributors for Wildcat now and I think I saw something of that sort in the last catalog I looked at.

Does Anyone Know Of A Supplier For "hard" Plastic Jewelry Boxes?

Q: Does anyone know of a supplier for "hard" plastic jewelry boxes? These are not the "pliable" cardboard boxes with a clear soft plastic lid that typically come filled with cotton, but rather "hard" plastic boxes with a clear hinged lid and a cardboard insert adpatable for either one pair of earrings or a necklace.

Engagement Ring - Platinum V. White Gold

Q: My boyfriend are doing some research on engagement rings. I prefer the silver colored rings, but don't really know the difference between platinum or white gold (besides price)?A:I work for a jewelry store in Michigan, and just wanted to give you my info. Looks-wise, you cannot tell the difference between platinum & white gold. Platinum is denser (which makes it heavier), but it also acts more like taffy when the jewelers work with it, making it more forgiving to bending. This is why we prefer to use platinum heads when...

Fake Diamond Jewelry

Q: Moissanite is a stone that has recently been discovered. 9 out of 10 jewelers cannot tell the difference between a moissanite and a diamond, AND it is almost as hard as a diamond. Since I am very low on cash, I am thinking of buying an engagement ring with one 3/4carat moissanite with 2 small .20 carat diamonds on the side. Of course, after I give her the ring, I will explain that since she wants a big wedding I had to cut corners on the ring, but I will replace it with a diamond when we can afford...

Finding A Star Sapphire Ring

Sapphire rings can be very beautiful and fine pieces of jewelry. Sapphires are clear and can look very much like diamonds. They are precious stones, and they are made by many of the same natural forces that create diamonds. However, it is also possible to make sapphires in the lab, in much the same way it is possible to create a diamond (although creating a diamond is more difficult). The main difference is in the structure and elements contained in the sapphire. Some sapphires retain a structure that makes it look as though there is a star inside the stone....

Gemesis (synthetic Diamonds)

Q: Related to marriage: I'm thinking DeBeers's time is about up. There was a recent article in our paper about "Gemesis," a local company that makes diamonds. From that article, it looks like the problems with manmade diamonds have been pretty much solved. According to that article, there are only three machines in the U.S. that can tell a manmade diamond from a natural one -- and the only way jewelers can tell they have a Gemesis stone, is because the company etches their logo on their stones. (The logo is visible only at...

Handmade Fashion Jewelry

Q: I was wondering...what are the actual meanings of the lables, "Costume Jewelry" "Fine Jewelry" and is there something that falls on either side (or in between) those categories? At the LA Gift Show, I am listed as "Handmade Costume Jewelry", even though I work exclusively with sterling silver, which, I thought took me out of the "costume" category. I'm thinking that if a gallery owner sees that kind of a discription, they would think plastic and beads instead of art and technique. Are the definitions based on technique?

Hinges - Silver - Where To Find?

Q: Hinges - Silver - Where to find?A:-Silver is harder and stronger than one might suppose. Sterling silver is. Pure silver is a lot weaker and softer than sterling -- which is why silversmiths use sterling for most things. If you want to see what pure silver is like, play with some plain bezel wire sometime. Oh they'll tarnish. It's just that pure silver tarnishes more slowly than steriling. But it still tarnishes. For something like a jewelry box, the silver wouldn't have to be all that thick -- if you used sterling. You could probably use 18 gauge nicely....

How To Buy Gold Jewelry

Gold jewelry never goes out of style, and for good reason, because gold is as wearer-friendly as it is beautiful. Pure gold doesn't react with other elements to create tarnish, the residue that accumulates on some metals before transferring to your skin as a stain. Sometimes people have allergy or staining problems with metals that are combined with gold, but the gold itself is rarely a problem. Gold can be worked into nearly any shape, from tiny strands that do not break easily to very thin sheets. One ounce of gold can even be hammered into an ultra thin sheet...

Italian bracelets offer the best of both worlds when it comes to jewelry. First, the Italian bracelets let the owner make the bracelet her own by choosing various charms to go on it.

All kinds of items can be put on Italian bracelets, but the big plus is that full names can even be spelled out on them. This is possible because Italian bracelets use channels for their charms and not charm holders or individual links, which jiggle the charms around...

Q: Where does on draw the line?? Do we not wear watches with gold colored bands? Does my wife refrain from wearing her wedding set?

Jewelry And Handmade Articles?

Q: On our first trip to Vegas this summer, we plan to make a lot of side trips, like Valley of Fire Park, Red Rock Canyon, etc. Is the Moapa River Indian reservation a good trip?

Jewelry Design

Jewelry design is a complex craft. While there are many designs that are mass-produced, it is possible to find experienced craftspeople who not only design jewelry, but make it as well.

Jewelry Making Material

Q: What material is good for making rings? I've heard fimo is alright but does anyone know of anything else?A:At first, this appears a silly trivial question. But it does, on thought, bring up some more serious thoughts.... The obvious no brainer answer is "how 'bout silver and gold and platinum..."

Jewelry Orders - Reasonable Time To Wait?

Q: This may be an unanswerable question, but I was wondering if there was a reasonable ballpark time to expect to wait for mailorder body jewelry to arrive? I'm talking basic barbells, nothing custom at all. I made 2 jewelry orders from a website (a site I found via BME that I've received good service from in the past); one I've been waiting for 12 weeks, the other, a month.

Jewelry Questions

Q: I'm relatively new to the world of piercing. I just had my nipple pierced a few months ago. I'm hooked, though, and am contemplating getting either my nostril or eyebrow done in the near future.

We won't be attending for several reasons (already had plans, don't want to drive 2 hours in my condition, and actually the least important reason, our own beliefs), but I would like to honour her in whatever way is the most appropriate.

She's a very "girly" girl so I don't think it will be hard to find her something material she would like, but...

Jewelry School

Q: would like to get into jewelry making as a possible profession (second career) but don't know where to start. i have looked into a few schools but it's very difficult to assess which ones are good or bad.

There are thousands of jewelry stores across the country. Every day someone walks into a jewelry store so that they can get that special piece of jewelry for you or that someone special in your life. With so many department stores like Wal-Mart, Sears, Target etc. now seeing jewelry at far cheaper prices, you would assume that jewelry stores would be darn near out of business.

Jewelry Than The Unalloyed Titanium?

Q: My question now is: Why is this alloy better suited for body jewelry than the unalloyed titanium? Is it easier to work with? Does it have a wider range of colors when it's anodized? The last time I priced titanium it was less expensive that niobium, so I'm guessing it's not the price... Also- I had heard somewhere that aluminum was a Bad Thing (something about Alzheimer's) does alloying it with titanium make it safe? A: The alloy makes it meet the ASTM specification for medical grades of Ti that are used in implants. It means 6 parts...

Kays Diamond Jewelry

Q: I've always assumed engagements went with rings, but lately I've been questioning that notion. I learned about the deBeers thing, and that pi**ed me off. And I don't normally wear jewelry at all, I never bothered to get my ears pierced, and don't really know anything about jewelry. FH and I would of course wear wedding rings for symbolism and to display marital status. Anyone out there without an e-ring, that does or does not regret that decision?

Kid Jewelry Box ?

Q: My granddaughter age 4 loves trinkets and baubles.

I bring over a cardboard box and watch the parents despair while the expensive toys sit in the corner and the little kid...

Looking For Books On Silver Jewelry Making .

Q: I'm looking for a nice book or books on making silver jewelry, particularly necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. I'd like the book to have a lot of photos for inspiration, and techniques. African-style or Indian-style would be preferable, but not necessary. Does anyone have any suggestions?A:One book that's just about indispensable for a beginning silversmith is Tim McCreight's "The Complete Metalsmith". It's about techniques much more than design but it will tell you how to do just about anything a beginner or intermediate smith is likely to want to do. As far as Indian jewelry in particular is concerned: Oscar...

Macy's Jewelry Problems?

Q: About three years ago, I ordered my wife a saphire and diamond ring at Macys during a half off sale just before Christmas. To get the right size, we had to order the ring. Several weeks later, Macy's called and said they'd severed the relationship with the vendor and the ring couldn't be supplied. This past Christmas the exact same thing happened. Is this bad luck or coincidence or is there something about Macys jewelry vendor and order practices that cause this to happen? Anybody else have the same problem? This happened at the Sunrise store in Sacramento.A:I've boughten...

Magnetic Earrings: Convenience And Ease

Magnetic earrings are a growing trend in the body jewelry market. Have you been thinking about getting your ears pierced, but are not sure that you will like it enough to have a lifetime commitment of having holes in your earlobes? Try magnetic earrings before you pierce your ears. Magnetic earrings look just like regular earrings, only instead of having a post you have two parts that are of opposite polarities, making them attract to each other which causes them to attach to your. Magnetic earrings are strong, but not so strong that they will pinch and hurt your ears. With...

Making Your Own Jewelry From Necklace Patterns

Making your own jewelry can be a fun and rewarding experience. The pride you feel in creating something all your own is hard to replace. There are many stores that sell necklace patterns to help you create jewelry that you love to wear. You can choose popular necklace patterns to make something trendy and in style, but because you make it yourself, you can choose materials and a look that marks it as your own. It is a great way to get stylish yet unique jewelry. Most necklace patterns come for beaded jewelry. This is because beads are relatively easy to...

Man Black Diamond Jewelry

Q: Last night we attended a holiday party at the home of friends and I wore black velveteen pants, black RL pointy toed mules & a silk nubby blouse in silver plus lots of silver & diamond jewelry. Besides the usual suspects at the party, there was an exceptionally handsome tall, dark stranger. I made sure to meet him! (merry christmas to me) Was there anyone exciting at your holiday party this weekend? This evening we're off to another friend's home for a more casual dinner - DH is looking hotter than a pistol in a black...

Man Cross Jewelry

Q: I worked in the legal department for an oil company which REQUIRED that women wear hose with skirts or dresses and did not allow women to wear slacks. Some years later, I worked for a law firm that had almost the same code. No mention of men's clothing was made other than to say that it had to be "neat and orderly". I understand that the law firm that I worked for no longer enforces the code for women wearing slacks, but they are still required to wear hose if they wear dresses...

Man Diamond Jewelry Hip Hop

Q: I was just reading an NBA AP article about how Iverson is gonna try and change his act, etc., and the article mentions that he is refusing to comment on his upcoming, 'expletive-ridden' rap album release. What do y'all think? I have nothing against expletives, as most hip-hop artists do it, but Iverson is first and foremost a basketball player. For example, Shaq has been mediocre at best as an emcee, but the point is, realizing that he has a lot of young NBA fans who might buy his albums, he has made expletive-free albums. On the other hand,...

Man Fashion Jewelry

Q: What should a very gothic man wear to his prom?A:Well, one could always go with the oft done tails and top hat. However, if you do decide for this look(and don't mind looking like something out of Dracula, which, in no way, is bad if you are into Victorian dress(as I am)), try to get gloves to go with the tux (preferably those which button at the wrist(very hard to find, at least around here). At my prom (oh those many years ago...), several stylish gents rented historical costumes. 18th century cortier outfits (a la 'Amadeus') and...

Man Fine Jewelry

Q: I found this blurb while shopping around on the internet: "The #3 trade secret that jewelry stores don't want you to know is that a diamond goes through an average of 8 middlemen and precious metal jewelry goes through an average of 4 middlemen before it is sold to the consumer. Every time jewelry goes through a middleman, a mark-up is added. For example, let's look at a 20 gram 14k figaro chain. The manufacture sells it to wholesaler 1 for $120. Wholesaler 1 sells it to smaller wholesaler 2 for $144. Wholesaler 2 may sell it to even...

Man Hawaiian Jewelry

Q: My wife and I used to live in Hawaii (we met and were married there). Our twentieth wedding anniversary is coming up and my wife has not-so-subtley mentioned that she would like to have a Hawaiian wedding band to commemorate the occasion. To tell the truth, I don't remember what they look like or anything much about them. I did see a source on the internet for the rings but I need to pick a name or something to put on the ring. Do I use her name or an endearment (a Hawaiian word?) or what?...

Man Jewelry Case

Q: I was thinking it'd be a good gift for, say, St. Valentine's Day, to give my wife some sort of jewelry case/chest, etc., mostly to keep The Very Nice Stuff (with the exception of her perals, everything else would be platinum/white gold) while the other stuff can be kept in the present abode for the whole of her current inventory. It needn't be huge since, off the top of my head, I'd say she needs to store: 5 Necklaces 3 Rings 5 Bracelets 4 Earrings (stud) 3 Earrings (hoop) Any suggestions???A:I hate to be a killjoy on what is,...

Man Jewelry For Valentine Day

Q: I'm 17, no job, just started seeing this girl. I want to get her a GOOD Valentine's Day present, so I'm obviously getting a job QUICK. That's not a problem, I can get work. Problem is: I don't know what to get her. I want to get her something nice, so I was thinking maybe a bracelet, necklace or something, but they all seem so unimaginative. I was thinking maybe writing her a nice poem, but that seems to cheap. Perfume, etc. isn't my style, and I'm uncomfortable buying clothes for her, especially for Valentine's (seems too unromantic.) Was...

Man Jewelry Watch Box

Q: I tripped over a claimed NOS Eterna-matic 3000 "Sevenday" D-D and 2 Kingmatics today. $300 per copy. Yes, I know I'm an idiot for not asking which movements each contained, I had time pressure... and I'm basically a "I like the way it looks" guy when it comes to watches... but I'm also value oriented. Eterna http://i1.tinypic.com/27y6a9e.jpg King1 http://i7.tinypic.com/27y6cuq.jpg King2 http://i3.tinypic.com/27y6fky.jpg I like them all $300 worth... but not $400 worth, presuming I need to have all 3 CLA'd.

Man Leather Jewelry Box

Q: Despite the fact that I have never been to a wedding with a flower girl or a ring bearer, we want to include both in our wedding. However, I am not clear what they do after walking down the aisle and before the recessional. Do they stand the whole time? Should I set aside seats near the aisle for them and their parents? How & when do the rings get taken off the pillow? I don't have any attendants, so would I ask my flower girl to hold my bouquet (her basket has a flat bottom so it can...

Man Nautical Jewelry

Q: I would like to contact a man who makes sterling silver rings by "cutting out" a monogram, name, initial, etc., while you wait. His stand is at the Dockside Mall in Cozumel - the pier where ships docked before the new pier was built at Cozumel. I have bought jewelry from this man at this location for several years whenever I have been on a cruise there. He does truly beautiful work. The last time, I bought a ring for my son and had the name of his band put on the ring. Now...

Man S Jewelry

Q: My question to you is, "Why all this talk about white mans world"? Man I'm sick of hearing that. Why does the "White man" always have to be blamed for any problems or issues that the black man or any other minorities out the world have to face? I mean come on now, the "White man" is to blame for everything that is messed up in this world? That line is tired already and really ignorant to say. The funny thing is college (Kent State) should be the one place that everybody should be coming...

Man Sterling Silver Jewelry

Q: technically it's not my first. I designed my earring and a circlet that we used in our wedding first. But this is the first sterling silver piece i made that i'd be willing to part with: http://home.earthlink.net/~fewilcox/bracelet.silver.blue_cube_catseye... i made it sometime last year. I've since learned to only use full-hard silver so i stocked up at firemountain. 8O) Why, you may ask? b/c it fell apart 'cause i used dead soft silver (not knowing better) that i got from Chevron Trading Post & Bead Company here in Asheville. i plan to make this kind of...

Man Tribal Jewelry

Q: I am in a medieval re-enactment society and am searching for any books or articles on bead embroidery, bead needle work, or bead making of European area in 500-1600 a.d. I do extensive teaching, I do have some resources referring to pictures or methods, but I know there is more out there. We have embroiders, loomers, and lampworkers amost other types... We have many people getting into this, most bead societies in the states only deal in the short 200 years of the US, when you ask about Medieval work, they say" Medieval, like Medieval America?" No. There was...

Man Urban Jewelry

Q: What does "metrosexual" mean? From what I've seen on TV, it's described as a straight man who's really into his appearance, style, i.e. gets manicures/facials, enjoys shopping, etc. In other words, is concerned about and enjoys things that the stereotypical hetereosexual man does not. Any comments/ ideas???A:"So what makes a metrosexual man? He's been defined as a straight, sensitive, well-educated, urban dweller who is in touch with his feminine side. He may have a standing appointment for a weekly manicure, and he probably has his hair cared for by a stylist rather than a barber. He loves to shop,...

One of them is: Will a Thai girl wear a ring on her ring finger to indicate if she is married?A:It's not customary. If she does, it's because you asked her to. It will never mean the same to her that it would to a western woman. What does it mean to a western woman? I caught my man???? What does it mean to a...

Man Wooden Jewelry Box

Q: My youngest sister's birthday is coming up This year I've decided to make a musical jewelry box, but I want to goth it up for her... she loves the gothy art I draw, she loves the short stories I've written (goth in nature...), and she has adopted wearing all black, at no prompting of mine, and at no influence of mine... I hardly ever wear all black around her... my old man's a charismatic christian preacher... so I tend to dress in earth tones when visiting the family. I've pretty much landed on a design for the jewelry box,...

Measuring Ring Size

When you are buying a ring for yourself or someone else it is very important to buy the right size. You don't want to present a beautiful ring to someone and have it the wrong size. Neither do you want to purchase a ring for yourself only to find it does not fit properly. Having a ring that is too big or too small is very disappointing. This is why measuring ring size is an important issue when buying any type of ring. Mostly all jewelry stores will have a system for measuring ring sizes because they know even though this...

Medical Alert Jewelry And Austism

Q: Does anyone here wear medical id jewelry or know someone who does? A: -...as for the context of an out- of- place non-speaking child being found and terrified by the attention.... in the late1980's and early 1990's tim wore ''dogtags'' for a while, as he wandered so very quickly---an experience for me as mom rather like someone using the startrek transporter. the info was his name and phone number. other boys were wearing this military type fad look , so i felt he was not singled out . i thought of adding more ---obviously ''autism'' in case this...

Medical Device?

Q: Does anyone know if a magnetic clasp would interfere with a computer, or a medical device? A: This is just a guess, but I don't think a small magnet would be a problem. I once tried putting 30 half-inch diameter super-strong ceramic magnets on a floppy disk and left it for a week. Not one byte of the data was erased or corrupted. We used an electromagnet in journalism school to erase our radio tapes. It was huge, loud, and obscenely strong when turned on, but even then, you had to hold your tape on it and move it around for...

Modern Venetian Glass Beads Wanted

Q: To any that can help! I'm trying to find venetian glass beads that are like the one's in the Beadbox catalog, but not so high priced.A:trying to find cheaper isn't always better. Beads from India are much cheaper, but usually they aren't cleaned out (the hole) and the colors aren't as delicious. One tip I'll pass on - the better quality materials you use, the greater the value of the piece will be. I make lampwork (handmade) glass beads. Last year, I began selling lampwork beads to a crafter on AOL. ...

Monet Jewelry

Mother And Child Jewelry Pendant

Q: I'm trying to think of the "perfect gift" for my wife upon giving birth to our first child (four weeks away!). I know I want the gift to be of the "Mother and Child" theme. For example, I saw in a catalog this desktop painted sculpture of a mother elephant and her baby, snuggling. I'm not saying I want a sculpture, or something with an elephant, but that explains the "Mother and Child" theme I want the gift to have. I haven't really tried looking in catalogs or malls in earnest yet, so I can't say I've...

Mustard Seed Necklace

Do you know what a mustard seed necklace is? Have you ever seen one? If not, you may be thinking exactly what is this type of necklace? Actually, it is a very simple necklace that carries an inspirational message. There is a verse in the bible that states "if you have faith no bigger than a mustard seed..." this is where the idea of a mustard seed necklace first originated. It was intended to encourage us to have faith when things look bad. To create this necklace a real mustard seed is covered in clear acrylic and surrounded by a...

Natural Blue Diamonds

Have ever heard anyone talk about natural blue diamonds? Did you wonder exactly what they were talking about? Most of us have never seen a natural blue diamond before because it is one of the rarest of all diamonds and is very hard to find.

Need Advice On Building Jewelry Box ?

Q: I'm looking to build a jewelry box for my wife. It's going to be a fairly elaborate thing about 11 inches high with doors and drawers. I've seen similar things in the department stores, but I want to build it myself. I'm thinking of making it out of 1/4 and 1/2" cherry (have to see if I can get it at the sawmill first) Is cherry easy to work with and priced reasonably or should I use another wood and stain it? Not sure how I'm going to do the joinery. I've seen a couple books on building wooden...

Nipple Jewelry

these days you can find quality jewelry on just about any and every body part that has the extra space to put one on. One of the body parts that is getting quite popular to put jewelry like earrings and hoops is the nipple. Nipple piercing had first become popular among the rock and roll crowd and those who liked the underground parts of life like dominatrix, grunge, scary and occult. That has changed since pop culture celebrities started doing it as well. Now it seems that a great deal of average suburban people is also wearing nipple jewelry. ...

Non Piercing Body Jewelry ?

Q: I have a few questions for those of you with piercings. 1. Have any of you used precious metals/gemstones in your adornments? I've often been curious as what it would be like to wear a diamond in a very strategic place. 2. Is there any temporary (i.e. non-piercing) body jewelry available. I like the idea of wearing pretties in unusual places, but don't think I'd want to go through the idea of wearing something permanent like a piercing. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance,A:I thought the point was that piercing WAS temporary, as opposed to tattoos? Am I wrong here? Piercings may close up...

Nose Rings

From petite diamond studs to gold hoops, nose rings are a popular form of body art. As any added piece of jewelry, you want to be sure that the nose ring you choose is complimentary and does not overpower your other features. A nose ring should be an accessory and make a statement that you want to make. A nose ring is not any different from any other piercing in that precautions be taken to maintain good health. Be certain the location you choose to have your nose ring done is hygienic and the person in charge is professional. In choosing...

Nouveau Jewelry?

Q: Does anyone know of any jewelers in the U.S. who specialize in art nouveau jewelry? I know Circle Gallery has some limited Mucha jewelry, but I know there is a lot more out there--at least I hope! A: There are several stores on 47th street between 5th & 6th avenues here in New York City, that carry art nouveau and art deco. Since the items you want are all "Estate" you never know what a store will have on a given day. The best thing to do is just wander up and down the block and check everything out. Almost every store in the...

Opinions, Comments & Suggestions Please!

Q: As most of you know, hubby, at some point in time, will be getting a settlement from his accident (up to 3 separate cases). In order to try to keep my own sanity, I have been researching the possibility of opening up a small gift shop with an Internet presence (website). I am also looking for pagan products to offer online at reasonable prices. If this venture came to be, would any of you be willing to go to the website and at least look at the things that I have to offer? I am looking at...

Order Class Ring?

Q: Should i just go to a jewellery store and ask them to make up a ring with my school name and major? my school charges 200 bucks for silver ring. the silver content is worth about a dollar as silver is about 12 buck an ounze.A:If they're that junky, why do you want one? And if you want more, then perhaps it's worth checking with local jewelers to see what's available. But even so, I suspect you may not be able to save all that much money on even a simple ring, and chances are, even so,...

Organic Body Jewelry Plug ?

Q: Hi, I was wondering what experience people have had using wood in their tongue piercings - more specifically what design of plug they used. It seems like you'd need a pretty large flare in order for the plug not to fall out with everyday play, but how do you make a big enough flare for it not to fall out combined with a small enough flare to be able to take it out for cleaning? Oh, if it matters the plug would be going into a piercing about 9mm thick (I think that's just over OOga.)A:Check out Erica Skadsen's Organic Body Jewelry page...

Or Know Where I Can Get Some?

Q: I am looking for a source for the felt type lining material for wooden jewelry boxes.

Pearl Crystal Jewelry Bridal

Q: is it acceptable to loop the pearl/crystal into the illusion cord rather than use crimps or glue - as in, I put the crystal on the string, and then looped back through it and pulled tight and it doesn't show.... or is this cheating in some sense???A:Ok, so that might not be so great after all - they slide around pretty easily which is a good thing if you want to re-position the beads, but not so good if the bride messes up the beads and freaks out right before the wedding because her necklace is lopsided... and it...

Q: I'm in the market for a pearl Necklace for my wife. Just out of curiosity I checked ebay. I'm suprised to find exactly what I want: AAA,8mm-8.5mm Akoya 18" single strand, white - cream color for prices I have a hard time believeing. They are being sold from China.

Rock Crystal

Q: I deal in vintage costume jewelry. I just picked up three crystal necklaces at a flea market. I suspect that one of them might be rock crystal (quartz?) instead of leaded glass.

Silver Jewelry Pendant ?

Q: Could you tell me anything about this pendant from my web site.

Swarovski Crystal Jewelry Design

I can understand why you might think that, given that is how most other vendors operate, and also because when you pay so much for high-end components you probably want to be able to list them as such. But the Vero rights statement...

The Beauty Of Wire Sculpture Jewelry

Wire sculpture jewelry is one of those products that is self descriptive. It is jewelry made from wires sculpted into different designs. Jewelry designers influenced by the American Southwest are designers that make especial use of wire sculpture jewelry.

The Use Of Platinum For Body Jewlery ?

Q: I've seen different metals used for body jewlery but haven't seen anything mentioned about platinum. I recently had my nipple pierced and want to get something a bit more interesting than the standared surgical steel ring that I have now. Has anyone used platinum? And if you did do you have a source for platinum jewlery?A:-Platinum and metals in the platinum group such as Palladium are completely inert, making them excellent choices for body jewelry. However, platinum is economically impractical for most manufacturers and consumers. Platinum is also very heavy which makes platinum jewelry inappropriate for some piercings.You can...

Three Stone Diamond Necklace.

Q: My question is... is the three stone drop diamond on this page usually reserved exclusively for 'dress up' occasions, or could that be worn with a casual outfit? Also, how important is it for the necklace and earrings to match (as pictured on that website)?A:I'm assuming that she doesn't already have a pair of diamond studs, in which case I recommend going with the studs as a basic in her jewelry collection. It also depends on how much your wife dresses up. If she's a tee and jeans kind of woman, I'd go with studs from a practical...

Thug Fashion Hip Hop Jewelry

Q: Today I was thinking about some of my favorite movies. I was trying to figure out what were the 10 movies that had the largest effect on me or that I enjoyed the most in the 90's.

Trendy Jewelry For Man

Q: Pins seem to be somewhat out of fashion just as jewelry styles change. Do any of you wear pins? I have a few but the prettiest is a rectangular shaped cameo who is wearing a tiny necklace with a diamond in the center. It was either my grandmother's or an engagement gift from my father to my mother. I never learned the exact story on its origin. It has a clasp on the back to convert it to a necklace.

Ultra Diamond Jewelry Store

Q: This is something I haven't seen brought up yet, but my prospective fiancee and I were discussing this last night. He sez he wouldn't want to get me a traditional engagement ring, and I agree that it would be better, more personal and individual- istic to go perusing(sp?) antique shops looking for something that shouted out at us. Part of me *is* still rather traditionalistic and would still like to have it set with a diamond. Do any of you married goths have any stories to tell on this kind of situation? I don't want something...

Unique Fashion Jewelry

Q: I see a few sites sell replica or fake brand watches. What are the legal points I should look for if an individual (not incorporated) want to do the same thing?A:Selling replica watches may infringe the trade dress and/or product configuration of the watches they copy, as well as the trademarks of the manufacturers of the originals. You do _not_ want to be on the receiving end of a trademark infringement action. The kid has a point, though little defense, about the lack of enforcement: Searched the web for replica watches. Results 1 - 10 of about *26,600*...

University Of Texas Class Ring, A Horror Story ?

Q: This term, I'm sitting on my first dissertation committee. The student has completed and everything is signed and is ready to go for graduation. The student dated the signature page May 5 2003. The problem is that a comma is supposed to go between the date and year. Of course, it's a simple correction... just correct it and reprint that page, right? And, were it *any* other page, that would be all there is to it; however, this typo is on the committee's signature page... and they've scattered to the four winds for the summer... and...

Use On Leather Cord

Q: Can someone tell me where I can purchase stainless steel coil ends for use on leather cord? These are the crimp type ends for use on leather and other cords, and they look like pieces of springs with a loop on one end.

I am looking specifically for stainless steel coil ends, so they won't tarnish. Can anyone tell me where to find some? A: -haven't seen stainless steel, but you can make...

Using A Ring Size Finder

Having the proper sized ring is very important. It prevents all sorts of unpleasantness. If you get the ring too small, it can be very uncomfortable, or you may no even be able to put it on or take it off (once you manage to get it on). If it is too big, you run the risk of having your ring fall off. You might lose it. A ring size finder can help you determine which size ring is the right fit for you. There are three different ways that you can use a ring size finder to determine ring...

Vera Wang Fine Jewelry ?

Q: Are attendant gifts supposed to be a surprise? I am considering doing the traditional thing and giving my attendants jewelry to wear at the wedding. But it seems odd for me to keep this as a surprise until the rehersal dinner (night before the wedding). I don't think they would otherwise wait that long to figure out what they will wear. If I decide not to give them jewelry, I suppose I should also tell them this, in case they are expecting it. All of this seem kind of awkward. Any thoughts or experiences on this? I'm only having...

Vintage Copper Jewelry

Q: I was hoping someone could point me to a source, online, for ordering copper earwires. I only need a few, and have searched all my links and come up empty handed. TA:Copper is NOT something you want to put through your ear. Antique copper-colored niobium earwires are the hypo-allergenic way to go. Well, besides the fact that copper will turn your skin green, then black with oxidation crud... The important reason not to use copper for earrings is metal sensitivity. You know how cheap nickel jewelry can cause rashes and oozing ear holes? Copper can do the same thing to...

Vintage Engagement Rings

If you want to give your bride to be something that is a little unusual and something that will really get her noticed, vintage engagement rings are the way to go. These rings look unique, and they have all the styling of ages gone by, as well as a sort of mysterious feel of intrigue and romance. One of the main characteristics of vintage engagement rings is that they often incorporate stones other than diamonds. In fact, in older times it was just as common for an engagement ring to have the birthstone of the woman, or her favorite stone, as...

The issue with Joseff jewelry, from what I understand, is that new pieces are being made today by...

Vintage French Jewelry

Q: If they're heavy, they aren't jet. However, if they are 60+ years old, are black, and are faceted, it's likely they are jet glass, which was made in France from around the turn of the century, 1900, until WWII. Jet is fossilized coal and like amber it's very light. It's also very pricey, even in modern beads. Antique jet is even more expensive. Jet glass can also be quite valuable - especially if it's on its original thread, hopefully with paper label still attached. Jet glass was made to fill the demand for...

Vintage Inspired Jewelry

Q: I have finished most of my holiday shopping (bought the "larger" items like clothing for my daughter). I need to get more "stocking stuffer" type items. I always find such good ideas at alt.fashion. Any suggestions for small items for a 15-16 year old. I bought some lipsmackers-other than that I am open for suggestions.A:How about nailpolish? Some inexpensive jewelry would work, also. Little lotions and shower gels from The Body Shop would work also. Bath and Body Works has these, also. You also just can't go wrong with candy. I used to LOVE (well, still...

Vintage Jewelry On Ebay

Q: Looking for some advice here. I buy a lot of decent quality clothes from places like Lands' End, Old Navy and Lane Bryant. I take *extremely* good care of these clothes--I have a Maytag Neptune Washer and Dryer and use of high quality detergents that are very gentle on fabrics. So the items are sure to be high quality. Being a plus sized girl who has few quality fashion clothing stores from which to choose, if I see something I like I'll buy 2 or 3 of them at once. So...you get the picture: I...

Vintage Jewelry Ring

I don't have a lot of time to do a lot of shopping around. Is there somewhere that I can go where I can be assured of a good price and good quality. Anything else to look for in particular?A:After shopping many "mall" type stores and doing diamond research, so to speak, I ended up going...

Vintage Question

Q: What constitutes "vintage"? How would you be able to tell besides taking someones word for it?A:Most agree that vintage means 50 years old to 100 years old. Anything over 100 years old is considered antique. Of course the term vintage is VERY loosely used, especially in auction descriptions, and can mean anything from used, really old, I don't have a clue, grubby & dirty, to something that is vintage STYLE. The reason the word vintage is used so often is that it is a buzzword that attracts buyers. It has the connotation of being scarce and therefore desirable....

Vintage Rhinestone Jewelry

Q: I've bought some beads froms bins marked "Vintage" at bead shows. I have some questions about the term. What is considered "Vintage"? Something used before? Over a certain age? Something not produced any more? There seems to be as many opinions as there are beads. Does adding vintage beads to a project increase it's value? Probably only to people who care about such things? Is anyone else skeptical when they see this term used?A:I once thought 60's would be considered vintage. Most of my beads range from the 20's to 50's...Is it something you researched or is it your feeling on...

Vintage Silver Ring

Q: There was another that I saw before, which I cannot find now, that had it for about $9.00. What's this all about? Call me stupid, but if this was not scammish and hired by the original seller.. then why are these all so dramatically different in price?A:Welcome to the world of retail markup variations in low priced items. Lets assume, and this may be reasonable, that the true, real, wholesale price of this ring is around $7.00. That's not at all out of line for a small silver ring with a relativly inexpensive stone, from a...

Q: Just wanted to see what kinds of vintage stuff other agf'ers are into (if any at all).I think a lot of my stlye is influenced by vintage fashion. I live for vintage clothing.

I love everything from 20s to 80s, but rather than trying to look "period", I just mix & match whatevers...

Vintage Tiffany Jewelry

Q: A ring appraisal from a gemologist that works for the jewelry store youbought the ring from sounds a lot like the sales manager of a car dealerappraising the vehicle they just sold you. The appointment with the gemologist was two weeks after the incident. She would not mis-rate a fake as real because it would be too easy for> us to have a truly independent appraisal in between "the incident" and the appraisal. Any comment?A:There's plenty of real Tiffany (and Cartier, and other such big-name jewelers) pieces on eBay -- the simplest trick to find the real stuff instead of generic...

Vintage Trifari Jewelry

Q: I have several pieces of antique jewlery that I am interested in finding outthe value. Eisenberg, Vogue, Weiss and Chloe. Anyone having informationthat would help in the appraisal of theseA:In my opinion, "antique jewelry" is probably not the best term to use for these pieces. The better-known term is "vintage costume jewelry". I don't know Vogue and Chloe, but Eisenberg and Weiss are plentiful. As a general guideline, an Eisenberg (not "Eisenberg Original", that extra word is important) white metal brooch would go around here for $20-$30; a bracelet or necklace a bit more. White rhinestones are very common in Eisenberg...

Weiss Jewelry: An Under Rated Name In Costume Jewelry

Not all jewelers last forever, and Weiss jewelry is one of those that has disappeared. The company was started in the early 1940s, and that decade, along with the 1950s, was really the height of its popularity. The Weiss jewelry brand was discontinued and its business closed right around 1971. This company was one of the more under rated jewelry producers of its era. Weiss jewelry had its own production and its own lines. The company's founder and president, Albert Weiss, even had his own personal mark made for the jewelry. The mark changed over the course of the company, but...

What Are Pave Rings?

Pave rings are rings that include clusters of small stones down the sides of a ring band. If the word pave brings to mind something similar to the word pavement, it is for good reason. The way that the stones are arranged, with bits of precious metal separating them, make them look very much like the cobblestone pavements of times past. Having the stones so arranged in the midst of beautiful and precious metals, gives the ring additional sparkle and flair. Pave rings are among the most elegant and rich looking rings. And they can also be less expensive. The economy...

Where To Get Your Fine Costume Jewelry

There are many things to look for when considering buying vintage costume jewelry. Don't take the condition of a vintage jewelry item for granted. Sure, vintage jewelry from the Victorian era through the 1930s can have a very vintage look to it. But there are times when you will find jewelry from the '40s, '50s and '60s in like-new condition. Even with the older pieces, don't settle for second best. Extremely worn plating, darkened or cloudy rhinestones, missing parts, missing stones, and chipped or scratched enamel all lower the value of a vintage piece. Obvious repairs such as sloppy soldering...

Where To Sell Jewelry?

Q: Craft shows are not the best place to sell jewelry. Well, what is the best place?A:Check out the alt.crafts.professional newsgroup. It's not geared toward jewelry, but is full up with crafters (most of whom seem to despise the "granny" crafters who undersell each other [and you] because they love what they do so much that they do it practically for free). There are different types of shows. I think you need to get into higher-end, juried shows to sell jewelry. Beaded jewelry has a hard time getting...

Which Gold Nugget Detector?

Q: OK, Experts, What is the best gold nugget detector for finding small gold items? Things like diamond stud gold ear rings. I need one for less than $800. A: I'm not a nugget hunter, but nobody has answered you, so here goes. If I'm wrong somebody will probably jump in quickly to correct me... Gold jewelry is not pure gold; it is alloyed with other metals and that changes its conductivity. Which changes what a metal detector sees. For example, gold rings have just about the same conductivity as pulltabs. So...

White Gold Diamond Pendant.

Q: One of my New Year's resolutions is to wear more jewelry, especially earrings. But I'm wondering if I'm overdoing it. Let's say I'm wearing black pants and a button down shirt. Can I wear both a necklace and earrings with it or just one or the other? Do the earrings have to match the necklace? If I wear a pair of diamond studs (okay, fake studs) can I wear a necklace like a large clear crystal pendant on a white ribbon? What kind of necklace could I wear with pink diamond studsA:I wear earrings...

White Gold Religious Jewelry

Q: We all have jewelry that we always wear, correct? Whether it be a wedding ring, a religious pendant, or just a favourite necklace... What's your signature jewelry?A:What I reaaaally want is enagement rings for me & my boi. I doubt we'll agree on matching ones, but my boi is keen on the idea. The problem is he's seen *nothing* he likes[1], except for the Claddagh bands (not the common one, just the design engraved on a white gold band). I saw a gorgeous posey ring (a trust one) with a garnet, which I fell in love with, but somehow I can't imagine myself as an 60 year...

White Gold; Taking Care Of It ?

Q: I brought a ring today that I was so excited about until I got home and found out that It wasn't 14k or 18k white gold. I know it was stupid of me to not check but that's how excited I was. I've never had a 10k of anykind before and was wondering how it would age or how to take care of it so that it will look good for a longtime. I don't know if I'm posting in the right group but I thought I'd take a chance. Thanks inadvance. http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Cove/5244 A: 10K Gold will is...

Wholesale Jewelry

Things like jewelry can be quite pricey; especially if you buy your jewelry at the first when they come on the scene or are reaching their peak popularity. That is why so many companies sell things at wholesale prices and so many people buy their jewelry at wholesale prices. Companies like the jewelry warehouse and Costco sell everything at wholesale prices. That doesn't mean that you will be buying these pieces of jewelry for the same prices as you would at a second hand store, but you will get them at more affordable rates.

Wholesale Titanium Ring, Titanium Rings - Skin Reaction?

Q: Could someone who has experience with Titanium share about any effects it may have on the wearer's skin?A:If I'm not mistaken, I saw a program on the discovery channel regarding massive reconstructive applicance for cancer surgery reconstructions, which were fastened into place by titainum snapps permanently afixed to the bones... The plastic parts were literally "snapped into place"... I also believe they discussed at length that titanium was readily accepted by the body, so it would seem that it's a fairly inert substance... I personally have a Breitling watch, which is constructed of titanium... If I let...

Why Should You Pay Less Child Support?

Q: it just amazes me that nobody seems to think that the CP might acquire things like leather coats and fine jewelry with funds OTHER than the child support. You seem to think that if the CP earns a decent income, the CS should be reduced accordingly-no! why?A:You realize, that if the men had custody in the first place, they probably would not need child support in the first place. Child support was designed so that women, who are incompetent/lazy/stupid or incapable of getting a decent job, can get custody of their children. Without child support/welfare, these 'little moms' would...

Q: - I'm currently looking at buying an engagement ring at Zales that's priced at $2000. I know that the price they give you isn't set in stone, so I was wondering if anybody had an idea of what the markup would be on an item like that.
