We saw these Carved Amethyst Pieces weighing about 30cts total, while in Thailand.  The color of this Boliviian material is very nice and it is rare than one finds a pair, but these were carved specifically for this purpose.  (If we didn't purchase them, one of our associates whom we showed them too was going to!)   We had them set in Custom Silver and they are also Rhodium plated, so they will not tarnish.  The design will allow the proud owner to have two distinct sets of earrings, as these can be worn as just studs, or one can add the drops to make a very different appearing set of earrings.  The drop will be secure due to the design on the studs.   With the typical markup in a retail store, this should sell for about $600 or so.    Our price is $425 for these one of a kind custom pieces!  (Note that these are still in Thailand and we will not take possession of them until Tucson.  We can ship them the 2nd week of February.

An interesting bracelet purchased from one of the hill tribes (see photo above - this is the actual woman who sold this piece).  It is stamped Sterling in Chinese, but it is certainly not silver - many things are marked in China but the mark has no bearing on the actual true identity.  This is an item that the woman would have purchased in a city, through barter, etc.  In closer examination, this bracelet is related to the years of the Chinese calendar - looking quickly at the piece, one can see an ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, serpent/snake, horse,  goat(?), monkey rooster, etc.   (htribe-11-01)   $30 which includes shipping!

An 18kt Yellow Gold Bracelet with approximately 6 carats of Fine 2.5mm Princess Cut Sapphires.  The Sapphires are found in our associates mines in Sri Lanka, and he delivered them to Hong Kong where the bracelet is assembled/created.  As always, this comes with our 7 Day Money Back Guarantee and LifeTime Guarantee.  Most Sapphires are heated, and there are a only a few Be treated Sapphires in the vicinity of the orange color to make a good transition from one color to the next.  Natural orange is too rare to be found in quantity and there would be too much waste to facet squares if the rough would cut larger gemstones.  We feel confident that this is fantastic buy - if you are worried about pricing, visit your local store and ask to see a Rainbow Sapphire Bracelet - and see what the prices are.  Also, we will bet the pieces you see are NOT be 18kt gold!  SOLD! (Retail Store Purchase) - This particular piece has been sold, but we know the mine owner who uses his sapphires to create there bracelets.  If you would like one, let us know and we will obtain the current price for you.  Note that these come in white and yellow 18kt and various mm sizes in the Sapphires!

Sterling Silver with Turquoise, Zuni hand-made pin, signed by the maker - CJ.  Measures about 2 inches across.  A wonderful piece found in our vaults after about 20 or so years.  $525   (Silver is up, the cost of workmanship is up, Turquoise is up, and CJ might no longer be working or even alive, and could be quite collectible!)

Obtained some info - and it is very interesting! Mookaite is a stunning multi coloured stone which is found in the Kennedy Ranges near Gascoyne Junction which is about 100 miles inland from the coastal town of Carnarvon in Western Australia. The name "mookaite" is derived from the locality where the rock is dug, namely Mooka Creek. Mookaite is actually a fossiliferous sedimentary rock & it is reasonably common to find cavities left by decomposed belemnite casts or in some rare cases , impressions of ammonites. This was found doing a quick search on Mookaite, but there is probably more information out there...

1.19ct Russian Synthetic Alexandrite Oval Earrings

This set of earrings consist of two 6x4mm oval Russian Synthetic Alexandrites faceted by our cutters.  The total weight of gemstones is 1.19cts and they are set in 14kt yellow gold posts with heavy/large nuts on the back.  The retail cost of the synthetic alexandrite is $360 per carat; therefore, the retail cost of just the gemstones is $428.  We are offering this set of earrings way below retail.  We are suppliers to the jewlery community for synthetic alexandrite, producing material below trade prices. For those wishing a different shape, we have two pair of 4mm rounds($140 each).  Alexandrites, like many gemstones, do not photograph well under some lighting conditions.  The purple comes out wonderfully well, but the green is weak in the above photos.  We have not enhanced the colors at all.  The green  is actually a teal green (bluish green or greenish blue) - just like the natural alexandrite that comes from a number of countries; and the purple is reminscent of amethyst. ===>  The 6x4mm ovals are sold out.  We have the gemstones in stock, but would have to set them.  5x7mm sizes are also available.  Expect the 6x4mm to be approximately $200 and the 5x7mm to be approximately $265 per pair set in 14kt yellow gold with posts/friction nuts.  (The 5x7mm will weigh approximately 2cts total)  Because we have to make them up, $25 will be  non-refundable to cover the cost of shipping of the settings, goldsmith time to set and polish, travel time to/from the goldsmith, etc.  (This would still be a loss in time/funds as described above, but we don't expect to have them returned since they are a  great buy at a fraction of the retail and the material really is wonderful!)  (Note - because of the increase in the price of gold, a new price quote will have to be worked up)

Alpaca Earrings - Abalone, Mussel or Colored Turquoise Chips
Alpaca 1	Alpaca 2
Alpaca 3	Alpaca 4
Alpaca 5	Alpaca 6
Alpaca 7	These Alpaca earrings consist of a metal similar to silver. They tarnish with time and yet can be cleaned easily with soap. The inlay is abalone, mussel, colored epoxy or epoxy with turquoise (blue colored inlay as seen in the photos). Since this is natural shell, there is a beautiful mother of pearl look to these and a rainbow of color is displayed. The actual size of the earrings is slightly less than that displayed if your browser fills your computer screen. They are not heavy to wear and the kidney wires are surgical steel for those who might have an allery to other types of metals. We purchased a large quantity some time ago when we were considering opening up kiosks in area malls. We have sold these items at shows and have seen them selling in malls or shops for between approximately $15-$28 each. These items would be great for those looking for gifts, selling items in stores, fleamarkets, via the internet, etc. We have the styles shown above but cannot guarantee any particular style. For those ordering, we recommend purchasing a number of them to insure that you receive a mix of all styles. *****  $15 each or 2 for $26  ******
