  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A LARGE QUALITY DIAMOND BUY MOISSANITE INSTEAD

Hello everyone i'm James The Jeweler in Atlanta, Ga and i'd like to inform you of a very unique and cost effective jewel called "MOISSANITE".  For those of you who'd love to be able to own a "quality natural diamond" but you don't have the budget to do so, then check out "MOISSANITE" due to the fact that "MOISSANITE" has twice the fire of a natural diamond, and "MOISSANITE" has all of the same physical characteristics of a natural diamond, so yes everyone it'll TEST AS A NATURAL DIAMOND THOUGH IT'S NOT ONE.

"MOISSANITE" is cut far better than many of the diamonds you may see in your local jewelry store, and this jewel is the only jewel as hard as a natural diamond, for example a natural diamond has a hardness of 10 and 'MOISSANITE" has a hardness of 9.25 making it a very durable jewel you could wear everyday.

When it comes to the quality & cost of "MOISSANITE" well it's color is I-J color, its' clarity is VS, for example if you had a 1ct natural round diamond within this quality you'd be looking to spend $3600 to $4700 but for a 1ct round "MOISSANITE" it retails for $807.

Below i attached a photo of a 3ct "MOISSANITE" center stone surrounded by natural white diamonds set in Platinum, i designed and had this ring made for one of my clients who wanted a 3ct diamond but couldn't afford to buy one, so i introduce her and her boyfriend to "MOISSANITE" and they both love what i designed for her.

To see the ring i designed and had made visit the link below the ring will be the profile photo where i'm talking about the unique jewel "MOISSANITE".  I'd like for you to also CLICK ON THE PHOTO to get an upclose look at the jewel no diamond can compare to.

UPDATE TO THIS BLOG: If you'd like the look of a natural CANARY YELLOW, PINK, OR BLUE DIAMOND, i now have "COLOR ENHANCED" MOISSANITE that looks far better than the "COLOR ENHANCED DIAMONDS".  The enhancement to the "MOISSANITE" is permanent as long as you don't expose this jewel to excessive heat of 1020 degrees fahrenheit.  They're priced even lower than what you'd pay for "COLOR ENHANCED" DIAMONDS!

Feel free to contact me with your comments or questions concerning this unique jewel.
