First of all, I’d like to disclaimer that I’m not a photographer, nor do I play one on TV. I’m just your average girl with an average digital camera. I did spend about an hour the other night taking pictures of my ring and have figured out a few techinques that seem to work better than some others, which I’ll share here.

Since my engagement, well, not so much. Wedding planning has become my primary hobby. So much so that I am downgrading my work schedule to part-time in order to more fully dedicate myself to my wedding (and reality tv, as well, if I'm being honest).

I love to eat, cook, watch Dog the Bounty Hunter, Without a Trace, L&O, and MTV Hits as well as chill with my cat Illie, work on little DIY projects for the wedding, do extensive wedding related searches on Google using my "skills." Ha-ha. We are having a 150+ ppl wedding incorporating his Jewish background and my Japanese heritage.
No, no. Not what happened in history in 1928 (well, if you insist…Vitamin C was invented in 1928).
1928 Jewelry makes modern replicas of antique jewelry at affordable prices. I still haven’t decided on my day of wedding jewelry, but here are some *pretty* things I found on the site. They have jewelry with either crystals or pearls, so it’s very easy to match with your…

My MOH is the bestest friend in the whole wide world! Not only is she lending me her headpiece from her own wedding, she is lending me her pearl necklace as well! So of course, I had to go out and buy (fake) pearl earrings to match. I just can’t choose which earrings to wear!

Bah. I’m getting tired of not having the right wedding ring (yes, the wedding is still 7 months away). I want to find the perfect one, dammit!
Mr. Blueberry says that when we go down to St. Louis this Thursday we can look around at Neustadter’s (the store my e-ring came from) again. And we’ll be bringing the camera this time :).

After Miss Orchid’s great post today about a newly-discovered diamond that weighs in at 603 carats, I just had to do some more research about the world’s other humongous diamonds. I’m sure we’ve all heard of the Hope diamond, and I actually thought it was the world’s biggest. But guess what? It’s not–not by a long shot!
According to this site, the world’s largest diamond…

Born and raised in NY. I graduated from The City College of New York with a Graphic Design degree, however I'm doing database programming. (I know go figure!) I'll be marring my college sweetheart of 6 years next September. I have 2 furbabies ages 1yr and 8 months. I'm born on the cusp of Capricorn & Aquarius, I guess that accounts for my diligence and streak of creativity!
There is a rare, giant 603 karat white diamond that sold for $12 million at auction. Known as the ‘Lesotho Promise’ diamond, the estimated price of the diamond when cut is approximately over $20 million. Holy Bling Batman! I can’t even begin to imagine where you would wear that. The only image that comes to mind is from Ducktales where that really rich woman (duck)…

Do you think your man might forget your anniversary in coming years? Perhaps he should opt for this Remember Ring wedding band instead of that featureless platinum band he has been eyeing.
24 hours before your anniversary the Remember Ring’s “hot spot” will heat up to 120� F for about ten seconds every hour! ALL. DAY. LONG.

I know she’s not engaged or even dating DJ AM anymore. But I just wanted to know how many of you loved her ring? I have to say that Nicole’s style is something I love so much. I’m going to ask my makeup artist to do my makeup like hers.
Ok that’s it. I’m still sick but I’m better! Thanks for your well wishes!

I really have no idea what it's going to end up looking like!
Also, I picked Miss Bluebell for my name because I have blue eyes and I'm a loser like that.
Through the powers of Google’s targeted advertising in Gmail, I was informed of Green Karat. Out of curiosity at their one sentence blip, (”Eco Wedding Rings - http://www.greenkarat.com/ - Treading Lightly on the Earth - A Natural for Green Weddings”) I decided to take a look!
I must say I was quite impressed with what I saw. The premise behind the site is that recycling gold…

Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.
Kanazashi are traditional Japanese hair ornaments — you’re supposed to change the style of the ornament in step with the seasons. Or just find some nice ones and forego the tiara.

Consider an Illusion Setting (The diamond in an illusion setting is mounted to a mirror-like plate before being set into the band, making it look larger, with more brilliance.)
