Spring has definitely sprung–and I have two HUGE tasks to complete in the month of April, which I’ve been preparing for, for quite some time. The first is to pass my Colored Stones final exam from GIA. I have a few more weeks for study, but I am so nervous! The second big goal to complete is the big move–I am moving out of my parents’ house and into my first home. I reluctantly have to pack everything I own, including all the new furniture I’ve been buying and transform a house into a home. This endeavor is most exciting, especially being able to have an entire room dedicated to office space for all things Gem Gossip. A week-long hiatus will take effect, but I will let you know when.

who knew Orthoclase Feldspar could look so incredible? Pictured while studying from GIA
been grabbing hats lately to sheild the sun rather than sunglasses, this is flea market day!
my splurge of the moment–this coffee table for my living room, geometric obsessed in jewelry & decor
a paparazzi shot of Rihanna wearing the coolest rings with the sickest bag
iPhone picture from my desk at work–sorting rubies, with most being synthetic (booo!)
love everything about this picture that has been floating around the web–Chanel, Cartier, and diamonds
obsessed over Eva Fehren, awesome jewelry designer
me (excuse the chipping nail polish) at work with this ring on–from red carpet to my desk!}

Always love your posts – will miss you while you're gone! But good luck with the move and the GIA! Two really exciting things! I have always wanted to get certified, but am kind of lazy about actually doing it. Hope everything goes well!

Just found your blog from Etsy – LOVE it! One question…who makes the ring you're wearing in the last pic? Did you make it? Where can I get it?1/ I NEED it in my life! Thanks!

It is Sheryl Crow's antique one-of-a-kind ring circa 1880.

I experimented with looking at your blog on my mobile phone and the design doesnt seem to be right. Might want to check it out on WAP as well as it seems most smartphone layouts are not working with your site.
