Two, two two gemstones in one

Min .25ct Mm Varies Oval Alexandrite

I’m more than a little upset that June is almost over. This means that it will actually be out of the ordinary when I bring up alexandrite every single sentence.

I was expecting more of a selection, because it is June, I thought that alexandrite would be out in full force. The scary thing is that it probably was out in full force, there just was even less to choose than before. I recommend if you want to pick up on alexandrite to buy a loose gemstone & put it in the setting of your choice. The cool thing about this stone is that you don’t have to decide whether you want blue or red, you get both, & who doesn’t like that.

Picking the perfect wedding present

weddingpresent.jpgI really wish there was another name for the gifts that couples exchange when they get married, besides wedding presents. However, there isn’t. It seems like a lot of guys don’t know that they are supposed to buy their bride a gift. I bet if there was a special name for it, they would remember. Here’s a few tips:

Jewelry always works, for any present, EVER.

Make it a gift that will last. This will be something that your bride will be telling future generations about.

Don’t be silly. Yes, there’s time for gag gifts, but this isn’t one of them.

Go for a classic, like pearls of diamonds.

If it all possible pick out a bracelet or earrings that she can wear on your big day.

Following these tips will ensure that the honeymoon period will at least have a chance to begin before a fight interrupts it.

Why I would buy a Target Wedding Dress

Not that getting married is even a question right now. However, I was just curious how far my bargain hunting might go. Here are some pro’s to buying a Target wedding dress.

Their biggest strong point is of course their price.

You even get the pleasure of saying that it is an Isaac Mizrahi gown.

The dresses are very current looking.

You can easily afford two or three dresses for the price of one dress anywhere else. This means that you can have a different dress for your wedding and reception. Who wouldn’t two wedding dresses?

You get free shipping on orders over $50.00.

I think that you can return the dresses if they don’t meet your expectations. Although you should check with the stores to make sure.

Maybe I’ll buy one to just wear to the grocery store. It’s a wonder why I’m not married.
