At my last show I was excited to meet a very nice gemologist from Corning NY. I admired his beautiful stones and after a nice chat about his finding, cutting and polishing his stones he said he had a large bag of stones that were imperfect and he couldn't sell as such.....
That's all I needed to hear! My motto...."My perfect is others imperfect"
As promised, he returned the next day with a large bag of amazing cabs for me to sort through...he said take your time. So 2 hours later, my customers and I were still ohhh and ahhing...the only decision I could come up with is TAKE THEM ALL! Lol! (the hoarder in me) Well over 500 peices...
and.... for a very nice price, I did just that ~
So here are a few of my newest designs.....I'm teaching myself how to bezel set stones....and slow but sure, I think I'm getting it.....So excited to see where I can go with these treasures!
