DeBebians is hands down the best jeweler for both custom work and stock pieces. They have really good pricing. I was connected with them by a friend who has used them for years and have been blown away by my experience with them, the quality of my piece, and the work they’ve done for others that I’ve seen. The way they brought my very specific vision to life is incredible.

You can go to their website and find great stuff, but I’ve honestly had such amazing luck with them just filling out their quote form on their site. You tell them what you want, your budget, etc and they get right back to you. They were started by two best friends I believe over twenty years ago. The guy is the design pro and the woman completely owns stone sourcing (mined or lab, you can get anything from them for stones).

They’re such a “best kept secret” of the gemstone and jewelry internet. Everyone who works with them adores them, they’re just good people. Impeccable quality. Their jewelers are really good and have been with them forever. Debebians.com and their “Get a quote” link is easy to find. Talk to them, haha when you do you’ll understand my hype. Professional and sweethearts!

It’s pretty scary to imagine how many people have been victimized by him in his lifetime.

Women dying because conservatives can’t figure out that abortion is healthcare burns me to a crisp inside.

Hell of a read, thanks so much for posting.

Yes, a little louder for the American’s in the room! Religious conservatism is spread the world over and is a danger to us all no matter what religion takes it up.

We cannot turn our backs on it. It cannot be contained to certain areas. It must be eradicated the world over. Women’s rights are human rights. No ideology that seeks to degrade women or deny them rights, even if the women of that culture have internalized the lie of that ideology and seek to live it out, should be tolerated anywhere in the world.

The name of the religion matters little if at all. The ideology is the same. It is a man’s fist gripping a woman such that she moves, breathes, even thinks at his will and whim. It makes women things to be possessed. Fuck that.
