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.

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 : 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 : What's a decent price for having your own gem set in a simple ring setting?
Excluding the price of the gem and the price of the setting, about how much is a decent price for setting it? I'm sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. My mother has always wanted an alexandrite (it's her birthstone), her sixtieth birthday is coming up, and I've found a nice gem on ebay but am hesitant to order it because I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford having it set.Thanks so much for any comments (except for the stupid ones that have no relevancy at all).
Answer:
If it's a natural alexandrite, a local jeweler will most likely charge more to set it because of the risk and liability if they chip it. If you're looking at a Lab Created or Simulated Alexandrite, then it shouldn't be much at all. If you're looking for a lab or simulated, www.jamminggems.com has a good selection. They also carry settings, and offer setting services for $2.50 - $5.00 a stone (when purchased from them).If you're buying a natural gem on Ebay (especially a rare gem like alexandrite) be careful who it's from, many sellers either try to deceive or are unaware that what they have is in fact not natural, check their feedback.Hope this helps!

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 : I have a very ugly ring with a lot of pretty gems. How can I go about getting these gems set differently?
It has quite a few stones in it, but it's huge and gaudy. Any suggestions?
Answer:
that means you do not like this style!first, u could not change it by yourself. u have to send it to a jeweler to ask them re-new it: select a style which you could use those gems or part of it. it is going to cost u a lot of money. i suggest you buy a new one !second, i think everybody's taste will change with years on. you do not like it now ( for example you r 20), maybe you will like it when you r 30 or 40. meanwhile, normally, we should wear jewelry to match your clothes. it can be much better if you change another clothes! try ! maybe u could find : it is the pc u want!i m jeweler from china. u r welcome to contact me if u have any questions abt jewelry.good luck!
