Autumn Sale At Jewelers Studio in the Woods

Beginning  in  mid  September 2010 our Fall and Winter  sale  will commence ( even though  our website  is being  renovated and this  blog is still being  constructed!).This  year,   in  addition to  offering a relatively  large  number  of  gemstones,  parcels  of  gems and rough for  faceting, and  cabochons we  will  also  release  some  rare  stones and  stones  of  historic  importance, rare  bookks and  out-of-print editions  and  new  colours of gold alloy and  mill products  for   jewelry and  art  applications in which  precious metals and  textured  metals are  desired ( the  textured  plates are  not  limited to  gold colors  but we  are also  producing  base  metal sheet  and  plates for  use with  your  own rolling  mill, or   vacuum former,etc.. One  set of rare  stones  that  we  are  particularly  pleased  to  offer  is  a set  of  26 light fuchsia  to  mauve-ish rounds approaching  3.5 - 4.2 mm ea. from  a pre-Colombian  source - or so we  were told  at  auction when  we  acquired  the  sets. .All are  hand cut and calibrated  relatively closely as far as  girdles, tables, and  other  features  of any  individual stone  go. We also obtained  some covellite  that   is  from a  Colorado  source -  which  is  now  buried  under  tonnes  of  concrete  highway, never  to  be mined again  at  that  location. It  is  priced accordingly! Oiling  covellite  can  be done  if a deep purple  stone   rather  than  its  natural  deep Prussian  blue tone. as long as it is then sealed with  micro-crystalline wax.
  Our intent  in  offering stones  at  all  to  jewelers  is  to  present  high quality  material  at  the  most  competitive  prices  possible.When  an item is  on sale  it  is  already  priced as  low as  we  can  possibly sell it for and  as  such, no  other  terms will be  considered and  we  will not  be  able  to  match  others prices should they  be  lower. Though difficult  to  bar potential  sales  with  such  strong language, it is  far  more  honest to reveal the  policies  we  operate  with to  avoid any i At times we  reveal things  regarding  the  quality  or lack thereof  about certain  products  when  it would be  more  profitable not to  do  so  again,  communicating  clear  and true  information  is  what  we pride  ourselves  on  and  the  savings  , in terms  of repeat  business and  good  relationships with  our account  holders  is  far  more  valuable than the  loss  of a few dollars in  profit.
