Hi everyone,
I just wanted to pop in and share some recent purchases of mine. I know that in my last thread I said that I was going to start setting some stones but I just couldn't resist! I went to an Intergem show last weekend and purchased a lovely carved green and purple jade bead. It came with an AGL report saying that it is untreated. I especially love how it goes from green to lavender. The carving is also very well done and the bead has a great polish, no chips, scratches, or fractures. I also purchased a pair of black jade briolettes (13.17 carats total weight) from Steve Green. I have admired Steve's work for years on his website (briolettes.com) and recently came across his Etsy shop.

Steve was super communicative, shipped the day after I ordered, and even drilled my briolettes for free! The briolettes are gorgeous. The polish is phenomenal and the briolettes are scratch and chip free. I have been looking for a pair of black jade briolettes for a long time and they all had an issue, like scratched or chipped facet meets, fracturing, etc. The briolettes are flashy and sparkle in all types of lighting, my pictures do a horrible job of illustrating that. I would not hesitate to purchase from Steve again and plan on doing so in the very near future.
