And I'm out of the dog house (for now) ![clapping clapping](/images/graemlins/default/clapping.gif) . We went to Maho today and visited our favorite jeweler at J&N Jewelers and Mrs Whale Tail got a very nice ring ![cry cry](/images/graemlins/default/cry.gif) . We will pick it up next week after they set the "stone" in place. I will never post a picture of her again without her permission. Lesson learned.

so,....
gotta ask.
20th anniversary is coming up. My b ride is so low low maintenance that I don't know what I'd get her. She didn't choose anything from Tahiti, Israel, Paris over the years.
But having been to SXM so many times, would love to get her something ....authentic to SXM. Any recommendations?
There is a stone common to SXM but I can't remember the name. Any good jewelry store can tell you. IT's blueish in color. I have a ring and everyone who sees it comments on it.

How about a Palm Tree or Flip Flop pendent. Many beautiful ones with gems.

I think larimar is actually mined only in, possibly the DR? I have some larimar pieces. They are much closer to turquoise than anything else. More decorative than anything, to me. Tanzanite is stunning, but expensive.

I have one of those. Didn't realize it wasn't a real garnet. Although REAL garnets are ugly, in my opinion, so no big loss. It's my birthstone, so I tried to like it, honestly I did!!
