Normally, we get inquiries for a fast, free and firm price quote on custom cubic zirconia jewelry with a couple pictures and a written description provided by the man or lady considering hiring our company-- and that’s all we need to get started with the computer CAD phase of our custom jewelry design process where our talented CAD design team take the images, sketches and/or written description provided by a custom jewelry customer-- as well as his/her specific verbal instructions, and creates a series of 360 degree digital design image renderings of the ring or other jewelry piece to be custom made.   In other cases…we don’t have so much to work with-- too often from heartbroken diamond jewelry customers whose original piece was lost or stolen-- and they hadn't taken the jeweler-recommended step beforehand to record the piece in pictures/video and written dimensions.

Frankly, as an educated woman...I wonder: HOW is it that 40+ years after this exposé was published in one of the most credible journalism outlets in the world, millions of consumers still pay more than a few hundred bucks for a diamond (ANY diamond)?

How long is too long to wait for him to propose marriage? 12 months? 3 years? Ten? It doesn’t have to happen right away, but...surely there's a time period that is simply too long to wait for a proposal when the woman in question has expressed that she wants to be married to her guy, right? Asking women to sound off about waiting for engagement.

How many chainsaws do you need? My father in law has 4 chainsaws (that I know of).  The idea that a guy would want to try and safely wield a loud and dangerous piece of power equipment with each of his two hands AND each of his two feet while simultaneously cutting down four trees at the same time…seemed crazy to me. But truth is…
