Thank You to everyone that bought from the sale or just looked at what we have to offer. It was a success and I look forward to putting more sale items on in the next few weeks...
So things will go back to where they were or close :) As always if you do not see it; just ask...
I will be concentrating on fancy rounds this year as they sell the best and I love to cut the different styles of rounds. Dr. Grey will be cutting many of the other fancies from my rough and the rough we went in together on like the NC emeralds. So keep an eye on the front page newsletter as I will be giving you updates there.
Lots of big things will be happening after the first of the New Year. Can't tell everything; but I am sure there will be many lovely and new designs and cut gems on the site... The North Carolina Adams Farm Emeralds will be out in February both minerals specimens and cut gems. Dr. Grey has been a very busy man and has cut over 10 to date; so that I too am looking forward to offering. But Tanzania still seems to be the hot spot for new and lovely gem garnets, chrysoberyls, sapphires, rubies, aquamarines, and a whole host of other fine gem minerals. Look out... there are many waiting to be cut and photographed and I look forward to seeing what they turn out after our cutting. I hope we do them justice...
In the coming year I will be cutting the stones I get the most calls for, fancy rounds, asschers, square barion brilliants, and then others that the rough will demand we cut... I know with the price of gold, silver, and all other precious metals going sky high; we must stay close to calibrated sizes and cuts to save you the consumer money to be able to wear our beauties. So this we are keeping in mind and will do our best to stay in those boundries...
I cannot thank you all enough for becoming some of the best friends I have ever had; I hope our relationship continues to grow and always remember you do not have to buy anything to just chat; I love to hear from you and to see what beautiful things you have designed from our work. It really makes us happy to see you happy with our product.
We will always strive to be fair, honest, and kind to everyone and will always do our very best to keep quality up and the prices as low as the market or our pockets can stand.
We have a full refund policy which to me is the only way to go as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and a computer monitor can only show so much; so we feel we have to have this policy to be fair as we feel the same way when we get in a parcel of rough; if it is not as described we want to be able to return it...
All photography now is taken outside in subdued lighting as we feel this may give you a better representation of the color... I am not a photography expert by any means but I do try to make sure you see the cut, the clarity, and the outside color of the gemstone.
Most Respectfully;
