I wanted to interject about emeralds. They also tend to be "soft" and can crack and chip easily. My sister in law has a diamond ring with emeralds on the sides and the emeralds have been cracked and repaired several times. Thought that might help! Good luck!
How do you keep your rhinestone jewelry clean and shiny? I have a gorgeous necklace that I love, and hardly ever wear, but some of the stones are dull. I don't think they are dirty. I read online that the foil backing on the stones can come off due to water, perfumes, oils, etc., and make the...
Paul Anka anyone?
I might be the cheese standing alone here, but Paul Anka has a great voice and he did a cd of covers like Black Hole Sun by Sound Garden and Bon Jovi, but in that swingin' lounge-y style. It was quite good. Here's a sample from Amazon...
I wanted to know if anyone could identify the song that Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart were dancing to on the edge of the fountain in Philadelphia Story? They had just come back from her engagement party and they are both a little tipsy and are dancing around the edge of a fountain and...

A smart table lighter and cigarette holder set would be nice. Something that matches is always good. I've seen them sold as a set on eBay and they aren't too expensive!
I love the look of fur and I'm a vegetarian! I do have several coats with fur collars that are vintage that I love. I do have a full length faux fur coat; I think I could only wear faux. Fur is so luxurious that its hard not wrap yourself up in it during those chilly winter months. I only wish...
I agree with the seasonal accessories idea. That's the fun part of the holidays, it's special from the rest of the year. I love the idea of the holly accessories, I might have to try that myself! I found some glittery leaf sprigs at the craft store that are fairly small and I'm trying to figure...
My bridal set is from the 1920s and were made to go together and I love stuff that matches! I wear both my engagement ring and my band on my left hand. The band always goes on the inside, closest to your heart.
As far as men's wedding bands, my husband has a vintage one, though I can't...
