Here's the e-mail I received fron Barry: Dear Friends of ACS, The December update of the ACS website will be in place at 10 am, MST, on Monday, December 1st. The site will be open for browsing the educational content but closed to searching or shopping for about 2 hours before the update is posted. Site News: I would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome for me as the new owner of ACS. It is greatly appreciated . I would also like to welcome those of you who have recently subscribed to the newsletter and thank those of you who submitted questions for the "Ask Barry" column. Hopefully the Gem of the Month essay and "Ask Barry" will be in place when the update takes place. New items for December: The new collection includes several new jewelry items. From Ben Kho comes a gorgeous pair of blue Peruvian opals bezel set in 14K white gold ear- rings. Another pair of earrings from Ben feature a pair of watermelon tourmalines set with bezels which follow the crystal faces. Ben's cat'seye moonstone pendant is also a beaut- iful addition. Another striking jewelry item is a pair of boulder opal earrings bezel set in 14 K. Tourmaline fans will appreciate the bi-color pendant set in a custom white gold mounting and for jadeite fans there will be a pair of interlocking honey jadeite heart earrings and a carved lavender jadeite pendant. For collectors of antique jewelry will be a pin from the 1920's set with a high quality lapis. Also included in the new collection will be six pairs of small 14K earrings for holiday gift giving. My contributions to the jewelry collection will be a 14K three stone ring with matching 'umbalite' garnets and a Tanga garnet pendant and earring set. New cabochon additions will include three beautiful and natural examples of turquoise, the birthstone for December, from classic Arizona deposits, fashioned by Joel Baskin and a spiderweb pear from a recent find in China. An exceptional fire agate rounds out the new cabochons for December. New faceted stones include a top color tsavorite garnet and a flawless tanzanite with out- standing color. My contributions to the December listing will be several tourmalines with colors ranging from orange to blue/green, including an extremely bright medium green chrome tourmaline oval and a classic 'Afghan green' rectangle. I will also be listing a cushion cut heliodore, a pair of matching blue spinel ovals, a round brilliant blue spinel and a blue sapphire oval. On the subject of sapphire---I've decided to include the round purplish-blue sapphire from the November listing because I have a picture of it in natural light and it has an interesting color change. I will also be adding four amethysts to the list--two round brilliants, an oval and a large Victoria cushion. Newly listed garnets will inlclude an 8.8mm round brilliant pink, a 9.0mm round brilliant from Malawi, a pink/red oval 'Tanga', a pair of 6.5mm rounds for earrings, a 6.9mm round bright yellow grandite and a fiery red/orange Nigerian spessartite. A large electric blue topaz Victoria cushion and a blue topaz supernova oval round out my contributions to the new December stones. Monthly special (forgot to mention it in last month's newsletter..) All Jewelry Items. Birthstone of the Month: Turquoise Alternates: blue zircon, blue topaz, tanzanite Thanks again for the warm welcome in November and have a safe and fun holiday season! Barry Gailey ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Life is not a dress rehearsal |

That Malawi garnet sure went fast. Gone by the time I remembered to check this morning. So was the little Grandite garnet. But, I did snap up the little blue sapphire (0.65 ct) for a future stacking ring project. I figure a BB Burmese sapphire will be pretty nice!  ****** Life is a Journey, not a Destination. ****** |

hmmm... I don't know.... I think the stones are "upstaging" one another if that makes since. I see some pretty white sidestones with that lovely green beauty. Didn't you just buy an L colored diamond? What about the half moon sapphs with that? ...OH wait, you chose those lovely step cut pears!!

I love color so don't mind that the combo is bright. I did consider using the half moons with my new cushion, but wanted more finger coverage than they would afford. I do have a pair of step cut trills and a pair of shields that I also am considering using with the chrome tourmaline too...I guess time will tell :)

I think it looks great with the blue half moons. It's nice to see jewelry designs with accent stones other than just white diamonds (not that white diamonds aren't very pretty too, just some variety is good.)

I picked up the Tanga Garnet earrings and pendant set. The stones are beautiful. They are clean and a very bright raspberry shade. I cannot take a good picture for the life of me and the light bulb gives it a soft golden cast GN  ** These gems have life in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of.(George Eliot) ** |

And here is the pendant. The picture definitely does not capture the sparkle and the richness of the color. Barry did a superb job. GN  ** These gems have life in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of.(George Eliot) ** |
