### ✨ Weekly Jewellery & Diamond Learning Meetup ✨ Join us for a relaxed, friendly morning dedicated to everyone who loves jewellery and wants to learn more about it! Each week, we explore a new topic—whether it’s **how diamonds are professionally graded**, the basics of **evaluating fine jewellery**, or understanding what affects quality and price. This is a supportive space where you can **develop hands-on skills**, ask questions, and even **bring your own jewellery for a simple evaluation or check-up**. Our group is perfect for: 💎 Anyone who wants to **learn something new** about diamonds and gemstones 💎 Jewellery enthusiasts interested in **building confidence in evaluation skills** 💎 People hoping to **meet others who share a love for jewellery** 💎 Shoppers who want to **increase their awareness of fair pricing** 💎 Those looking to turn a love of wearing jewellery into a **passion for choosing the right pieces** ### **💎 WORKSHOP OVERVIEW** **“If you don’t know diamonds… you’re paying extra for them.”** Most people walk into a jewelry store and leave with a diamond that’s **overpriced**, **over-graded**, or simply **not worth what they paid**. Why? Because **diamond pricing is not transparent** — and without the right knowledge, it’s easy to pay **20–40% more** for the exact same stone. In this workshop, we break the entire process down in a simple, practical way so you finally understand: 🔹 **Where hidden markups come from** 🔹 **How a diamond that *looks* good can be a bad purchase** 🔹 **Spot sparkle and clarity with live microscope viewing** 🔹 **Common traps buyers fall into & how to calculate jewelry price** 🔹 **Get diamond cheat sheet that you can use anytime for any purchase** 🔹 **Learn about natural diamonds vs lab diamonds** ### **📈 What You’ll Learn — So You Save Money** In this workshop, you’ll learn how to: ⭐ Buy a diamond that *looks bigger* without paying more ⭐ Choose the right color & clarity sweet-spot ⭐ Identify overpriced stones instantly ⭐ Read GIA grading reports like an expert ⭐ Understand how pricing actually works ⭐ Invest in stones that hold real value We will be continuing these sessions for you to join as many time as you want along with your friends and family.

Thanks for joining the Money Minds meetup group.

Clear introduces the concept of "atomic habits," small actions that, when compounded over time, result in major improvements. The book emphasizes the importance of focusing on systems and processes rather than just goals. Clear provides a framework based on four laws of behavior change: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. By following these principles, individuals can create positive habits and break bad ones. He also discusses how environment, identity, and social influences shape behavior. Throughout the book, Clear uses real-life examples and scientific research to demonstrate how simple habits, practiced consistently, can yield powerful results. Overall, Atomic Habits is a practical manual for anyone looking to improve their daily routines and achieve long-term success.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
