I am a jewelry fiend, and have lots of links for rings and artisan jewelry sites. Write any time to swap links or chat.

Do you have nice pictures of cut stones to show off, new or antique? I'd love to trade links with you and get some pretty pictures for this page. I don't think it would be polite to make off with any of the beautiful images that I've seen on eBoo.

PLESIOGULO: If you ask me, this huge ancestor of today's wolverine (Gulo gulo) is the Great Bear of the constellation. Have a look.
