So.

Does anyone know what I can do with a diamond? It's uncut, but it's gorgeous, and it's just sort of burning a hole in my pocket, if you will, so. Suggestions?

And before you ask, no. It isn't for someone. It...was actually for me. Ja-- Someone gave it to me, and now I'm trying to figure out how to handle that.

How large would this diamond be? Its applications depend on its current size.

[torchwoodteaboy]

It's... Well, it's not too large. It fits inside a ring box. It's bigger than something you'd normally see in an earring or on a ring, but that just means that there's more options as to what I could get it cut to fit, right?

[sonatabot]

Such jewelery is wasteful. I was to suggest making a tool out of it.

[torchwoodteaboy]

A tool?

[iminmynightie]

Find a jeweler on board who can cut it for you? Might make a nice tie pin.

[torchwoodteaboy]

A tie pin? [Ianto cocks his head] I hadn't even thought about making it into that. But that would make sense...

[She smiles and shrugs.] What can I say? [She taps her temple.] I'm more than just a pretty face.

[torchwoodteaboy]

[He looks down at his tie, then smiles up at her] D'you think a diamond tie pin would suit me?

[notasinglelady]

Cut it and put it on a ring?

[torchwoodteaboy]

Hm. I don't know, I'm not really the ring-wearing type.

[notasinglelady]

Put it on a watch?

[torchwoodteaboy]

Mmm. Well, I don't know. I mean, I already have a perfectly good watch.

Amy suggested a tie pin, and Weurtz (I think that's his name?) suggested cufflinks. I might go for one of those. I'm just not sure which.

[maskedbreathing]

Sell it or give it to someone else.

[torchwoodteaboy]

It...was a gift, though. Specifically for me. I'd like to hold onto it, if I could.

[maskedbreathing]

Then put it in a little box somewhere and do nothing with it. Or you could get a setting for it, convert it into jewelry.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I was thinking about maybe converting it into something. I just... I don't know what. I'm not really one to normally wear jewelry, as it is.

[wishgazer]

Jewelry I believe is a likely choice.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I know. I just. I've never been the type to wear jewelry. I was hoping someone would help me come up with something more...me. Amy suggested a tie pin, and another man suggested cufflinks. Those are definitely more along the lines of my style, as it were.

[wishgazer]

Those could attract a lot of unwanted attention though.

[torchwoodteaboy]

Unwanted attention? How so?
