April 2010

i am trying to find a site that sells synthetic gemstones. specificially i am looking for a 2.5 ct. emerald cut synthetic pink sapphire. i would love to get into jewelry making but i need to find a good, inexpensive source for gemstones.

Rio Grande or Fire Mountain Gems both have stones, findings, tools and anythingyou need for jewelry.

When I lived in a larger city (Charleston SC) there wereseveral groups of folks who did Lapidary as well – Sometimes I would buy Cabachons from them for less.

It also is good to go to lapidary shows. Look in the lapidary magazine for current shows in your area. usually there are shows in the spring and fall.

NC has them often in Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, and Charlotte. SC has them in North Charleston, Mount PLeasant, and Columbia. Virginia has then in Richmond and Charlottesville. I am sure there are others in Virginia but I’m new here.

My friends boyfriend has enlisted me to help him find an engagement ring for her. She LOVES pink and has told both of us that she would like a pink sapphire/diamond engagement ring. I have looked online but all of the ones that I have found are either too expensive or too corny looking. I found one that I absolutely LOVE but its way out of his price range (see link below). Her boyfriend is looking to spend $700-$800 on the ring. I also know that she loves split shank. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!

It is crucial to know about her likings and disliking when you are about to shop for engagement rings. The jewelers’ shops are full of all types of rings with confusing designs and settings, besides varieties of diamonds and gemstones to choose from. Here are some of the tips to help you know about which ring she is most likely to adore.

If the bride-to-be is ready to come along with you for the shopping then there is no need for you to read the article further. She can very specifically tell about all the details of the ring and all you are required to do is to pay the bill. However, most of the women like to be surprised and avoid telling directly anything about the ring of her choice. In that case you are dependent on the guess works, but some tips can help.

One sure shot clue to her choice is to observe her jewelry that she so often wears. If you have a chance to visit her home, then ask her to let you have a closer look at her range of jewelry items. You can not many things like the metal she prefers. For instance, her most of jewelry may consist of white gold or platinum instead of yellow gold. In that case, a choice of yellow gold engagement rings may not be her favorite. Then, you should not mount a diamond on a metal of yellow gold.

Her style of jewelry should also be observed closely. Note if she prefers bold styles with a latest look or she likes vintage rings more. Or, may be she is more interested in classic engagement rings which spell the romance even more.

An indication of her choice can also be found by observing her clothes as well. Her wardrobe of latest fashion is the indication that she will like bold and latest trends in the ring. if she wears comparatively simple dresses then classic rings may be her choice.

Know if she likes diamonds or gemstones. Many women prefer sapphire and rubies and diamonds are surely not in their list of preferences as against the women who dream of wearing engagement rings with diamond set on it.

Engagement rings
should also match with the hands of the women wearing them. If her fingers are longer, then a ring with bold setting will suit her as, any other setting will look smaller. On the other hand, for women with smaller finger, a delicate setting of diamond over the engagement rings is perfect. Similarly, her choice of shapes of diamonds may be different. Women like diamonds in round, pear, heart or many other fancier shapes.

In the last, we advise you to prefer purchasing a loose diamond to ensure that it comes with high quality standard. A mounted stone on the ring may be consisting of some flaws or damages which are covered under the setting. Go online for purchasing of engagement rings are competitive rates.
