I make jewelry. Bracelets and necklaces....rings and earrings confuse me! LOL I have a lot of people that would like matching earrings for their bracelet, but I cant do it!!

Moissanite is a great way to go!!! I LOVE it. Have earrings, rings, necklaces....the Moissanite that I have sparkles just as much or more than diamonds that I own!

this is good information, thank you!
after seeing blood diamond, makes me second guess any jewelry purchase! to think innocent people are dying over DIAMONDS!?

ok this is OT but the first ring i ever bought myself is black hills gold. my mom LOVES it and i was so proud of that ring.....now it collects dust in my jewelry box!

platinum is not very durable! white gold is much more durable and less expensive! you could get more ring for your money if you go with white gold

i think QVC sells jade? if i remember correctly?! i am from alaska and it was everywhere! my mom has some beautiful pieces!

both are good. but look for a happy medium!

both! if you have a huge ring with flaws--tacky! if you have a tiny ring that is perfect--who will see it?

thanks for the info!

great tip! thank you! i normally use dish soap! LOL
