I'm really happy I learned a little about cushions today. Keep the interviews coming! DiamondLil ________________ "Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs."

I also enjoyed Mark's explaination of cushions. Makes me think I may still want one after all ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

I think they provide a wonderful opportunity for us to learn even more, not just about the stones, but the knowledgable vendors behind them. Thank you both so much for continuing to bring new ideas forward. _____________________ Note: Chainsaw Not Sold Separately.

Not only are they informative, but they really help those of us who don't live close to these vendors to "meet" and get to know them a little better. Thanks!

moremoremore Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,825 Last Post: 2/9/2009 Member Since: 3/15/2004	Great interview!!! And that's what I really like about Mark...he is more than happy to let you test your stones but his eyes are a fab tool! And isn't that what it all boils down to after you have a great stone on paper? I also think I've been the best AND worst customer LOL... It took me about 15 minutes? to pick my cushion e-ring and side stones were picked online and only seen by mark!!!.... BUT, when it came to a recent pendant and some other wishy washy regarding an upgrade...I think he probably wanted to hurt me :) See ya next year Mark.... ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough.

JJH Rough Rock Total Posts: 29 Last Post: 7/5/2006 Member Since: 4/3/2006	It is so great to put a face and demeanor to Mark's voice. I've been speaking with him on the phone for about two weeks now, as I'm now working with him on an engagement ring and a men's band. I had been working with another company, but switched to Mark after I got a little frustrated. I can tell you, working with Mark Turnowski has been such a pleasure. He's honest and forthcoming. He won't try to sell you a diamond that you don't want. He's super knowledgeable. I will never use another company. :) Jonas -x-

RockDoc Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,509 Last Post: 6/17/2007 Member Since: 8/16/2000	Been having problems seeing the interviews. Once it finishes the first section, it crashes my internet connection .... happened twice now. Mark is a really nice guy.... He was in Florida recently, and we spent a few hours together, and he got to see all the toys here, and went to the great japanese restaurant here together as well. A really nice guy and a true gentleman. Off to conclave....in Orlando. Rockdoc Bill Leiberum 1948-2007 Thanks for everything and Rest In Peace,Bill.

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	These interview do feel like a personal introduction Brilliant! Opening the ERD page brought this one up. From the small picture in the video it looked like some tantalizing new fancy round. But ... is it very glamorous portrait of a 'microscopic' single cut after all?
