Is it just me or is that ring merely a lump of coal?

How the heck do they expect Galliano to look in the rough?

am loving the juxtaposition of polished and unpolished. kind of sums up anyone who wears it. because no matter how impeccable a figure we cut, we are all in some ways just diamonds wonderfully in the rough. it’s tough on the eyes to take in polish and gloss all the time. it’s calming to rest your peepers on raw natural beauty some of the time.

Twinkles, it could catch on things, scratch things, injure small children when you hug them, poke your eye out. It goes terribly wrong on any number of levels. I wouldn’t wear it if it came out of a gum ball machine. A girl’s got to have her standards.

hehe, they kinda do look like a pigeon died on your head.
that said the only reason why i don’t purchase feathered accessories is because my cats like to eat them.

Exactly and sorry but wouldn’t it catch on things also, purely from a practical perspective?

I’m with you Twinkles and as the Gemdiva I am eminently qualified to judge:-). This alarming fashion trend for rough, uncut and unpolished “gem” stones (emeralds, rubies, saphires) only says to me “there were so many flaws and inclusions in these stones that if we didn’t try to market them as the next big thing in jewelry we’d have to trash them”. There’s a sucker born every minute.

Really not loving the Diamond in the Rough Diamond Ring but hey who am I to judge?
