A common question we get is how much information and details do we need in order to make a custom ring (or other piece of jewelry) exactly as the customer wants it. The short answer: we want as much information as the customer can conveniently provide us based on what he/she knows (or thinks they do). The more details we have, the easier it is for the custom jewelry team to nail the custom ring design...and do it SOONER in the back-and-forth process as we communicate with the potential customer. The other side of the question is, “Can we make this work with very little detail and/or no pictures or examples from the customer?”As that Obama-era U.S. Presidential campaign sticker on one of my colleague’s car back bumper says: YES WE CAN!

I have a confession. It’s been over 5 years since I’ve swept, mopped or vacuumed, dusted, or done laundry. Before the verbal attack, you should know that my wife Mrs. Cubic Zirconia does little to none of this stuff either. Here's why we decided to invest in a housekeeper.

Today’s blog post will be a Godsend if you’ve been thinking over how to talk with your significant other about an important but tough-to-tackle topic you keep avoiding. That’s because a movie that shows and tells a certain topic in a powerful way can be a PERFECT conversational opener for her to talk to him-- or vice versa-- about that topic in a non-threatening and totally natural way.

Sure you can just tell her she’s beautiful with a kiss as you walk out the door. But trust Mr. Cubic Zirconia, communicating something sweet (or spicy hot) this way I’m about to share with you is going to be so much more impactful.  This simple, free and highly impactful romance tip can be completed in less than 30 minutes. If you like to make her feel special, tthen this simple, free, and highly impactful romance tip we call “Private Message In a Book Just For Her” is something you should do at least once during the course of your relationship (especially if you’re a guy whose gal always has her nose in a book). Does she sometimes read books after you do? Would she read a book if you gave it to her as a gift and said you were sure she’d like it? Or can you get your hands on a book she has in her possession and plans to read but has yet to actually start reading?  You’re gonna love doing this method to communicate a private message just for her, but not as much as she will enjoy discovering what you said-- and feeling so special at your thoughtfulness.
