Ooh, pretty! I wish it were me, but would settle for admiring a bunch of photos.

I want to see...how come Swala's site never works for me? Am I the only one with this problem? I have the rare advantage of being just down the road from their retail store.

Yeah, it worked in the states.

They have the most exquisite finished jewelry in their window but they have never been open when I go by. I think perhaps it's by appointment but I would feel like I shouldn't make one just to ogle. I do need to get on with getting some local gems it's true.

That's a nice color for a blue spinel. I wish a Pricescoper got it so there may be a chance to see more pictures. Gem quality cobalt blue spinels are getting very expensive. If you want to see a even nicer one, go to Palagems.com amd click on Feb. 16 'featured stone'.

I'm really confused. I thought that Swala was based in Africa. Do they have a retail store??????

Ignore me! I've just looked at their website and apparently they have two. One in Arusha and the other in Dar-es-Saleem

Yes, I was actually at the one in Dar es Salaam again today and they were still not open. One of these day I'll make an appointment and give a full report. They had changed their display since my last visit and had some really sweet little cab rings I was eyeing.
