Question : On oblivion, were can i find nice gold jewelry?
I tried the jewelry store in the imperial city but they don't sell much gold. I'm level 2 and don't want to go much higher just yet so were can i find Gold gem set jewelry? Particularly rings not necklaces.
Answer:
Most of the jewelry I have I found was during missions. Either in dungeons or elsewhere, people give them to you for completing things too and etc. I do recall I got a nice necklace in the Captain's Quarters when some Anvil lady asked me to retrieve some crystal ball from the belly of her ship but like the last person said the game items change from time to time so it won't always be the same stuff. Also, if you are only a level 2 then to be looking for jewelry doesn't make a great amount of sense. You should be saving your $ to buy that dump of a house in the Waterfront district as it's rather expensive and will take time to get it. Once you have the house you can store all of your crap there and makes life a whole lot easier.

Question : Please help me find this ring?
In the February 2009 issue of InStyle magazine on pg. 183, (sorry I can't find a link to a picture) there was a Marc by Marc Jacobs ring that was like a gold heart with faux gems set into it. The mag gives a number to call, but I was wondering if anyone has seen this for sale online or at a store. Thanks for your help!

Question : Do gem setting pliers work well?
Hello. I am just starting in the jewelry hobby. I currently use a regular long nose pliers to tighten my prongs but they sometimes scratch the settings. I see there are jewelry pliers, both long nose and an "easy set" pliers that are shaped like a small rectangle (sort of). My question is, won't these specialty pliers scratch the prongs just as regular pliers will? Thanks.
Answer:
The best pliers to set stones in prongs are Gem Set pliers (http://www.gemworld.com/Images5/JTool-GemSetPliers1L.jpg) Yes, the prongs will get scratched. Use a pink rubber wheel to do a final dressing of your prongs before polishing. The advantage to GemSet pliers is they stop and you don't accidentally snip off a prong.And consider joining the email list, Orchid on http://www.ganoksin.com/

Question : smalll tanzanite gem set in ten karat gold, worth much?
alittle over quarter of inch tanzanite gem set in ten carat gold swirl setting.is this worth very much?
Answer:
Not at all. Tanzanite unfortunately is pretty worthless.. it's very pretty but worthless. 10k gold won't be worth much either. I would guess if you took it to pawn you could get no more than $25-$40 for it.

Question : is there really such a thing as a red diamond?
i am working on a story - in which my 2nd major character has an pledge ring. its like a gem set wedding ring. i chose a 4 carat Red argyle diamond set in platinum. is there such a thing, if so what would her ring would be worth?
Answer:
Naturally occurring red diamonds do exist. Here's some info on them:http://www.serendiamonds.com/colors_red.aspxUnderstand that a perfectly pure diamond HAS to be clear (white). Naturally colored diamonds [diamonds that get their color while being formed underground] get their colors from additional chemicals or flaws present during their formation. If a diamond is nothing but carbon, then it's perfectly clear. If a diamond has some boron in it, it makes it blue.If it has some yellow, then nitrogen has been added to the pure carbon.Some colors are formed by "lattice defects" which are molecular flaws in the carbon framework. These result in brown, green, purple, pink, orange or red diamonds.

Question : Do you like this excerpt from my novel?
This is in the genre of high fantasy. I hope you enjoy it! It is during Scott's second training session with his new master: Zrelius. More, just analyze the writing style. I love constructive criticism almost as much as a love outright praise; so please COMMENT! Thanks.It is a traditional belief that a sword is less likely to fail its owner in battle if the allegiance between blade and wielder is bonded by more then simply word of mouth and grasp of hand.”Scott nodded. He understood this all for the most part, but honestly he wasn’t used to these customs or traditions observed in Eailsaid.“May I see your sword sir?” asked Scott, wondering how his master would respond. “You may.” Zrelius turned and walked into his house. Scott waited outside patiently, giving Zrelius privacy in case his master did not want the location of his sword revealed. After only a moment, Zrelius emerged once again; carry a long brown bundle in his hands.“Here it is,” said Zrelius, standing before Scott and unfolding the cloth protection from around the thing he carried. The brown cloth fell away to reveal a long, thin scabbard that lay beneath. Zrelius handed it to Scott.Scott delicately examined the black scabbard which was quite simple in make and unadorned by jewel or design; but rounded elegantly to fit the sword’s form.He grasped the hilt that was protruding; it also was of simple make, golden with a single teardrop red gem set in its base, and pulled the sword from it’s sheath. It made no sound at all as it slid silently out, glinting and shimmering against the afternoon light. Scott held it up, squinting as the long silver blade reflected the sunlight momentarily into his eyes. It’s edges were as sharp as razors; Scott almost sliced his hand on the side, and the point was deadly.All the features of the blade were simple, yet somehow mysterious; elegant as though hinting at an inner beauty that far surpassed the mundane exterior.However, the thing that most drew Scott’s attention was the engraving that rested on the blade right above the cross guard. Peering closely, Scott brought the blade nearer; there, surrounded by unblemished steel, lay a simple yet curious symbol. It was a triangle and on each of the three points there was an image engraved; one was a flame, the other was a small elegant tree, the third looked something like three snakes that were raising their heads from the ground… but no, on second thought Scott thought it looked more like a wave crashing in the sea. The most intriguing aspect of the symbol was the one in the center of the triangle. Scott’s eyes widened in shock, there lay the same “ “ sign that was carved into his father’s medallion. It lay there staring up at him; unmoving, unyielding; yet Scott knew that it could not be a coincidence to have come across the symbol twice. It must be important, but the question was how.”“Sir, what is this symbol?” asked Scott urgently pointing at the “ “, what does it mean?”Scott waited for Zrelius’ response with bated breath, praying that he would receive a satisfactory answer.“That,” said Zrelius placidly, “Is an ‘e’ in ancient elvish. It was the sign of Eailsaid.”That was curious, thought Scott, why would his father have a pendant with Eailsad’s symbol engraved in it? Was it important? Did it mean something?
Answer:
Well, I hate to disappoint, but I really have no criticisms of the writing style, I mean, halfway through I was so engaged I forgot I was looking for things to comment on, and trust me, I like to berate bad writing. Really, it flows nicely and it juts sounds... right. I like it, alot. For the content aspect, personally I have no taste for fantasy, but this didn't make me the slightest bit queasy. Only one thought; you say the hilt of the sword is golden, is that literally made of gold? If its gold plated (which I'm assuming because a golden hilt woudl be ridiculously heavy to yeild and worthless in battle), what is the metal underneath? I'm only curious so I can feel the weight of the sword as I through your character lift it up. Or hold it. Also, one tiny thing bugs me; at the very end, Scott's all "Was it important? Did it mean something?" and I mean, he seems like a smart guy, and you know, even he says there no coincidence he sees this symbol twice, but not only asking his brain if its important, but stating it twice is just uncharacteristically stupid. I just wan tto shake him by the shoulders and yell "YES YOU DUMBASS!" sorry, but I do. Just, its unecessary. He's human, he'll wonder, and don't get me wrong, I did that all over my book, aand I fully intend to edit it out... we have an odd tendency to write on thought. Anyway, congrats, its good.
