    what does SETA on a ring mean?

    my mom just picked up a ring at goodwill that appears to be an estate ring, and we figured out that 925 means 92.5% sterling...but does SETA stamped inside mean anything different? Just curious and figured my ladies would know. :D Thanks!

    Scared to try new eyeshadows...

    It's me. :) So, I've used the same golds and peaches and browns on my eyes for years now with brown eyeliner--discovered them at the end of high school and that's just about all I used in college. I have red hair, really pale skin, and grey/blue/green (really light) eyes...I just want to...
