3:51 PM              what is what? I don’t know.  I must be missing something - I              don’t see anything.

3:55 PM             me: oh i didnt know if you knew how the chat thing worked.  you     dont see anything?

3:56 PM            Kenneth: No, I don’t know.

local jewelers

ever since i learned that the jewelry industry can be quite hazardous (in a multitude of ways), i’ve been trying my best to go local and green when in search of that new pretty piece.  i think these designers - which greatly range in style and price - are particularly lovely!  (and, as an added bonus, if you’re in the bay area, many of these designers have sample sales too!)
