[Daniel] Just Launched - Gemstone Creations!

Late last night, we launched a site I've been sitting on for 4.5 years now in one form or another. Moriah and I are happy to announce public availability of Gemstone Creations. Gemstone Creations is a online store that sells one-of-a-kind homemade jewelry, created by Moriah's mom, Cheryl. From the site:

"Gemstone Creations is home to one of a kind, handmade jewelry with a southwestern flair! Our pieces reflect the beauty that Mother Nature provides in natural gemstones, shells, pearls & precious metals."

Of course, the site is built in Django and clocks in at about 900 lines of Python. All XHTML/CSS, with unobtrusive Javascript provided by Prototype. As usual, I created the design & wrote all of the code, though there is quite a bit of re-styling to be done yet.

This site has gone through about 4-5 various iterations since 2003, with a custom PHP version, 2 failed OSS carts and a Ruby On Rails version to boot. It has haunted me that for various reasons I have not been able to complete it sooner but such is life.

If you're interested in unique jewelry or know someone who is, please do Mom S. a favor and check it out!
