Sorella Custom Roman Numeral Diamond Ring
We’re lovers of beautiful fine jewelry. Jewelry that is original and not found in every mall jewelry store. Jewelry that has a unique style and a real sense of design. Jewelry that is truly FINE jewelry made from high quality materials with exquisite craftsmanship.
Two design studios that meet these very particular standards are Sorella Jewelry Studio and Chris Ploof Studio.
Each of these design studios are small shops run by artisans who are committed to their art and their craft and to creating one-of-a-kind pieces that don’t follow the crowd.
Chris Ploof Mokume Gane Ring
Sorella creates stunning personalized and custom jewelry in a wide range of precious metals – platinum, palladium, 10k, 14k, and 18k gold, and sterling silver. Their designs are fresh and current and very personal. Sorella makes all of their jewelry in their Birmingham, Michigan studio and sells throughout the US and the world via their website at www.SorellaJewelry.com.
Chris Ploof is a master of the unusual – metalsmithing techniques that create simply stunning works. His designs included mokume gane, damascus steel and meteorite. Chris creates all of his original works in his Pawtucket, Rhode Island studio and sells both through fine jewelry galleries across the United States and on his website at www.ChrisPloof.com.
Both of these jewelry studios are worthy of your attention.
The Endless Hunt For Babysitters
As parents of young children, all of us here at Mothers Ring Box have pulled our hair out at one time or another trying to find a babysitter. It seems to be a never ending quest.
We’ve been keen to try out the online babysitter registry services that match parents with babysitters in their local area. You can review the sitters profile that includes their experience, certifications, availability and such. Parents post reviews and you can also order background checks. Makes a lot of sense to us.
There are a number of different babysitting subscription services, so we decided to research them and present our findings on a new website we descriptively named Babysitters Wanted! at www.BabysittersWanted.org.
We’ve already created reviews for our top three ranked babysitter websites – Sittercity.com, Care.com, and Care4Hire.com. We’ll be adding additional reviews for some of the smaller sites over time.
We’ve found the information to be helpful for our own babysitter search and we think it could be helpful for you too.
We HATE Stretch Marks!
Ohhhh…. those ugly, ugly things. It’s a shame that something as wonderful as pregnancy and childbirth can cause such damage to a woman’s skin.
But you don’t have to throw in the towel. There are a number of great products that help to both PREVENT (yes, we said PREVENT) and repair new and old stretch mark scars. Our friends at Skin Care For Women share their finds on the best (and worst) stretch mark creams. Two of our favorites are TriLASTIN-SR and Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention Cream.
