"atomic level distress" sounds like how I feel this morning. At least I got to start the day with these lovely jewels and your lovely commentary on them.

This is some great stuff! So, the Lalique ring. Haunted. It would whisper bad things in your ear at night. I love seeing sea shells with their natural magnificence highlighted by rocks and metal. Total celebration of minerals, and minerals rarely get to celebrate. The Ruby is epic. Cutting 45.78 carats off a 101 carat stone makes me jittery. I want to investigate the surgeon-like nerves these gem guys must be sporting. Monkey Clock? He's totally daring you to look at him. EEEEvil. While the ring's whispering bad ideas to you, the Monkey just wants to carve out your eye with his golden tail. Don't get me started on the Wally Birds. They're doing the over-under on how long it would take me to accidentally explode that stilted Tiffany Lamp. 4 hours.
