The large circles are where diamonds go. The small circles are the prongs that hold the diamonds in place. Everywhere else is 18K gold made in California.
The diamonds aren't just any diamonds. They're the hardest ones in the world and come from a special mine in Australia.
There's lots of controversy about the
source of diamonds across the world and who and what gets harmed mining and refining them. Meghan's diamonds are free of all this human and environmental cost and agony.
Some diamonds say they're conflict-free, but they only tell half the story. She'll tell you the whole story about how no one was harmed with her diamonds. Remember always:
A half truth is a whole lie.
I'm sharing this because she and Brent are just days away from launching this custom jewelry business. I told her that I knew for a fact you'd be interested in knowing about it.
Why would you be interested in jewelry?
You may be one of my subscribers who routinely emails me asking about all sorts of unique products that are top quality.
I've seen some of the prototype pieces Meghan and Brent are making and the one you see above in the drawing TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
And I'm NOT a jewelry guy!!
Bottom Line: If you're looking for a stunning addition to your jewelry box or a gift that will dazzle that special someone in your life, just wait until I can share Meghan and Brent's new website. WOW!
Paying a Contractor In Advance
Yesterday Marie from Massachusetts emailed me. She was none too happy.
You'll read her email in a moment.
But before we go there, I know I have quite a few contractors who are subscribers to this newsletter.
Money is always a touchy subject.
If you're a contractor, I'd like you to read the following column, think about it for a little bit and then write a comment BELOW the column telling your side of the
story.
I already know there are wicked homeowners out there that love to not pay. It happened to me once. That's not what this is about. I don't need to hear stories about these loathsome individuals.
If you're a contractor, just make a case why you really feel you need money in advance on a job
that does NOT have custom materials involved.
I posted the publication of this column on Facebook about an hour ago and my bricklayer I used on my jobs in Cincinnati, OH commented within minutes after reading it. BTW, he's the BEST bricklayer and mason I'm aware of in the Greater Cincinnati, OH area.
Here's what John Hoeh said:
"As a contractor, I've always believed I will make you happy to pay me!! Have never asked for a dime up front. Great advice as usual Tim!"
CLICK HERE to read the column. If you're a homeowner and have feelings or a story to tell, leave a COMMENT as well!
