Happy Crimbo!

omg so tired. Everyone's gone now, though, so I can have a timeout or a nap or something. My meds getting screwed up has made me slightly hysterical--well, let me rewind that. The night I mentioned the medication problems, I managed to get my doctor on the phone, and while she never addressed why she refused authorization, she sounded like nothing

She is absolutely phenomenal! Oh wow.

I'm Jewish, so I'm spending the day watching the Eclipse DVD extras so I can get it over with and put the DVD away in a closet (I'm compulsive about watching all extras). And get this: in the making-of featurette, they actually show the rings that the props people designed before SM demanded the cheese grater. And actually I don't think the ones they had before were particularly attractive (I liked the first one but I agree with the producers that it looked a little too much like a class ring), but next to the final result they are GORGEOUS.

I'll try to find some screencaps now.

EDIT: The first one that "looked too much like a class ring", and the second two, which were ruled out because I think Stephenie didn't like them. So she drew them this and this. Which of course led to this, as you recall.

I try my hardest not to bash SM nowadays, but her taste in jewelry is truly appalling.

Dammit, I totally would have been okay with the first one.

Seriously, any of the three would have been better than that hideous grater. But then we never thought SM had good taste, did we?

[cleolinda]

I remember talking to someone who said, "All that woman's taste is in her mouth."

I don't quite see where the first one looks like a class ring. It looks kind of vintage, which I think is appropriate for Edward.

Something about the chunky roundness of it, maybe? I honestly would have never thought of the comparison without hearing it. It's actually rather pretty, though I think it would be overwhelming on a small woman.

Agreed to all of the above. I like it.

Perhaps detail has been lost in the screencap, but that second "drawing" you linked to looks like a smudged fingerprint.

I'm not sure what it is, because the DVD itself wasn't very clear. Maybe it was!
