I chose to render my version of the popular initial ring as a pebble for most comfortable wear--the rounded edges ensure that the ring won't scratch or catch, the way a flattened disc can.
A super shiny silver pebble sits atop a smooth sterling silver band. The ring is slightly oxidized to show detail and tumbled for strength and shine. Made from reclaimed/recycled silver. The ingot on this ring measures approximately 7mm (.28 inch) wide. The ring has a total weight of approximately 1.5 grams (final weight varies with ring size).
This simple solid nugget solitaire can be worn as a single or in a stack, and is my most popular item for use as bridesmaids' gifts.

10 Fun Swimwear Facts
categories: Legal Careers
It looks like a 66-year-old New York lawyer who refused to wear Speedos while taking a lifeguard test will get his day in court after all.
For a while there, it looked like Roy Lester's age discrimination lawsuit against the New York parks department was dead in the water.
Lester worked for years as a seasonal employee at Jones Beach State Park before losing his lifeguard job at age 57. He signed up for a lifeguard recertification test in an effort to get rehired. But the park wouldn't let him take the test because he showed up in boxer-style swim trunks instead of the required Speedo.
"After being denied rehire based on his swimsuit style twice, Lester filed an employment discrimination suit alleging he was discriminated by Jones Beach based on his age," according to this source. "Lester alleged he was the oldest applicant to show up to take the lifeguard test and that he was discriminated against for wearing a swimsuit commonly worn by older individuals. Lester also alleged, and the appellate court agreed, that younger applicants were wearing various different types of swimsuits and – unlike him – were not prohibited from taking the test."
A trial judge granted the defendant summary judgment, but the appellate court reversed, saying Jones Beach had not shown good reason for requiring a Speedo.
"The defendant failed to eliminate all triable issues of fact as to whether it had legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for refusing to allow the plaintiff to take the test for new hires in a 'jammer' swimsuit," according to the opinion.
But the court also ruled it was too early for the plaintiff to swim a victory lap.
"The plaintiff also failed to demonstrate his entitlement to judgment as a matter of law since he did not eliminate all triable issues of fact as to whether the defendant's reason for not allowing him to wear a 'jammer' during his new hire test was legitimate and nondiscriminatory or pretextual."
10 Fun Facts About Swimwear
The most expensive swimsuit in the world is a $30 million bikini made with more than 150 carats of flawless Steinmetz diamonds set in platinum.
A popular style of men's swimwear in the early 1900s was the "Topper," which had an upper portion that could be unzipped from the trunks. Unfortunately, men who went topless were often arrested for indecent exposure.
In 1907, Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman was arrested for wearing a one-piece suit that showed her arms and legs.
Jantzen changed the name of its swimwear line in the 1920s from "bathing suits" to "swimming suits" because it sounded more athletic.
The word "thong" means "dental floss" in Brazil.
In Victorian times, women entered the water by way of a bathing machine – a horse-drawn carriage rolled into the surf – so that they could not be seen from shore. The "swimwear" covering their bodies weighed more than 20 pounds when wet.
In Australia, swimsuits are known as "cossies." In the UK and Ireland, they are called "togs."
Women's swimwear makes up 70 percent of the international market, children's 13 percent and men's approximately 17 percent.
China is the world's largest exporter of swimwear, with around 70 percent of global shipments.
The bikini is named after the islands in the Bikini Atoll in the North Pacific's Marshall Islands where the U.S. tested the atomic bomb in 1946.

Toledo Officer Shot and Killed at Standoff
A 24-year-old Toledo, OH, police officer was shot and killed Monday afternoon during a standoff with an arson suspect. The suspect was also killed.
Officer Brandon Stalker joined the force in 2018.
Stalker was reportedly killed by Christopher A. Harris, a man police say vandalized and attempted to burn the Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral Monday morning.
Police were serving a warrant on Harris when he barricaded himself into a house, officials told WTOL.
SWAT and negotiators were called.
Negotiation failed, tear gas was deployed, and Harris reportedly came out of the house firing two guns, police say. Harris was killed when officers returned fire.
Stalker who was working the perimeter was reportedly hit in the head by one of Harris' rounds. He died in a local hospital.

A group of organisations involved in smart city initiatives has set up an 'accelerator' for public sector organisations and commercial companies to work on new projects in the sector.
#HyperCatCity has opened the site in collaboration with the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) in west London.
It was developed as part of a large regeneration project in the area, which has involved the launch of OPDC in April, and the establishment of the Urban Innovation Centre on the site under the Future Cities Catapult.
The Mayor of London's Office is one of the backers of the initiative, along with a collection of private sector organisations including BT, Cisco and KPMG.
Among the areas to be covered at the #HCC accelerator are smart utilities infrastructure, access to data, technology for health and social care, smart and safe transport, air quality and smart energy. It could also take in work on approaches to financing, governance and procurement in these areas.
Nick Monnickendam, director of marketing for internet of things specialist Flexeye, one of #HyperCatCity's backers, told UKAuthority that the accelerator will provide "a physical space and natural organisation to bring together companies that create services and cities that could have a need for them".
He said the space has been used for a few weeks before its official opening by about 200 organisations, largely small and medium enterprises but also a few city authorities.
Scott Cain, chief business officer of the Future Cities Catapult, said: "We set up the Urban Innovation Centre to be a destination for businesses, academics and city leaders to discuss and develop the cities of the future. It's a space for urban innovators to work together, so that they can turn human insights and ingenious new technologies and processes into applied products and services that will be deployed in cities around the world.

I'm excited to start a new series with you this year – Fabric Friday! I will try to keep up a regular schedule of posting about a few of my new fabric finds every other week.
Here's a little background before I get into the meat of this post. Although I've been selling fabrics online in some form or another for 10 Years (yes – 10!) I've always shied away from being too marketing-driven on my blog.
For years I've tried to keep a separation between quilting for business and quilting for pleasure. But after getting hit over the head with the "modern" stick, I've realized that often times, they are one and the same for me.
Since quilting is my business and business is my pleasure, I've decided it's okay to talk fabric with you all. After all, without fabric, how would we ever make quilts?!
So I'll start off this series by gushing about Carolyn Friedlander's Botanics. This collection first caught my eye when everyone was blogging about their trips to last fall's quilt market.
I love how Carolyn furnished her booth with a simple splattering of color and design. I think these fabrics are universally appealing because of their rich tone-on-tone color with a nod to elements of nature. Botanics is only her second line for Robert Kaufman, and I hope she sticks around with them for a long time!
Botanics precuts are available as 31 piece fat quater bundles, 42 square layer cakes, and 40 strip roll ups (Kaufman's version of jelly rolls). Aren't they lovely? And just itching for the right project, too! I love it when a collection includes both rich colorful focus prints and soft background (low-volume) colors.
Kaufman was also clever enough to put together a roll up of Kona solids that coordinate with the line.
I have a healthy number of these precuts available in my store right now, but I recently checked the manufacturer's website and not-surprisingly, they are no longer available for stores to re-stock once we sell out.
All the colors in this Botanics line look so "together", just like a choir harmonizing beautiful melodies! I love them.
Hi Christa, I like this new series. It's nice to see what new yummy fabrics are coming out… and dream… :). I love your blog and all the information you share. Thanks for all you do!
I do so enjoy checking in with your blog. Love the new posts. I would love scraps to put a scrappy quilt together. I haven't done one yet and would love to. Great giveaway!
Nicely balanced post. Beautiful line, especially with the Kona thown in, too!
Great idea to feature fabrics each week! I enjoy seeing pics with new lines of course, and the post did not feel too 'marketing-ish' – just good info !
Thanks for a great post. I love this line. Tone on tone is timeless to me. I am guessing that since precuts come out first, once the initial offering is done, it's done.
I have a mini charm pack of Botanics and I LOVE it!! I have to say, she is probably one of my favorites now. Such great prints and colors!!


Former Deacon Blue frontman parts company with Sony, sets up his own label, and is'unplugged'for his second solo LP.
Never quite forgiven for kowtowing to commercialism with singles like Real Gone Kid, Ricky Ross and Deacon Blue got lost in the stadium-rock wilderness for years, then finally trundled to a halt. Last year, Ross's solo debut What You Are did little to appease his critics, but New Recordings - which showcases his most engaging portfolio of songs since Raintown - might just win him an unexpected reprieve.
The stripped- down approach helps bring focus and intimacy to the cryptic narratives, as Ross switches between acoustic guitar and piano, adding subtle samples, strings and the odd ghostly shudder of Hammond for colour.

UECC Executive Director Orysia Hewka to leave at the end of October
Jenkintown, PA (October 25, 2009) — The Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center announced today that Mrs. Orysia Hewka will leave as UECC's long serving executive director on October 31st, 2009.
