LOL- thank you!!! We are definitely not like the giant companies on eBay that buy gemstones by the bucketful and have a staff of twenty to do the photos. We (my wife Melanie and I) actually go to the market ourselves and choose each and every gemstone that we sell. We virtually never buy lots- only single gemstones. In lots, dealers try to pawn off their junk stones to you, mix in a great many mid-quality, and a few really beautiful stones. Then they make the price attractive for the lot. Our problem is- we hate junk stones!!!! We just want to sell the most beautiful ones. Remember- you don't have to propose to her in order to buy a gemstone or make custom jewelry. You can do it "just because". Try doing that when it isn't her birthday, or any other "special" occasion and see how utterly effective it is!  |

This is a rare Mali garnet from the country of Mali. Can you name a city in Mali? If you said Timbuktu, you really know your geography. Mali garnet is one of the few gemstones that comes from only one source country. Tanzanite is another- which only comes from Tanzania. This is a stunning honey-colored trillian that weighs 1.40 carats. It is extremely well-cut and has great brilliance. The color is even and strong and it's a fabulous gemstone. Remember if you pay with bitcoins you get 10% off our already low prices. $38 $32 $29 per carat plus $10 shipping. Combine an unlimited number of stones to save money on shipping!     |

The software is Rhino-based- Matrix 3D http://www.gemvision.com/html/products/matrix/matrix.htmlIt is the gold standard in custom jewelry these days. I am not sure that it is easy- I know someone who has been drawing on CAD for over ten years and he found the program to be very difficult to use- it took him about a year to get proficient with it. My current artist is in the Ukraine- he started with Matrix and he is superb. Jewelry seems to be difficult for most people who have done other kinds of CAD and I am not sure why. Here are some cufflink drawings and renderings:      These are available in 10K gold, 14K gold, 18K gold, palladium, or platinum. |
