Are there any nice thanksgiving/back friday sales from usa vendors?

[haagen_dazs]

hi all
just wondering if the usa vendors might have a nice thanksgiving discounts to boost some gemstone sales

 

[MakingTheGrade]

As of now, I know Gary Dutton and NSC are having sales.

 

[JustLikeYou]

MasterCutGems is having a sale on their gems - discounting their prices this week and adding a bunch of new stuff. He''s got more off-the-wall colored stuff, but that''s what I like and I''m having a hard time trying not to spend my money! haha

 

[Largosmom]

I already succumbed to a peachy colored spinel from Mastercutgems. Hope he posts more pretties while I am home! I have a bit of play money stashed.

I am going to need some settings!

This one, Laura? Stunning stone. Since it is a 6 mm round, any number of settings will work. I'm sure people here will love to help.

I've picked up a couple of pretties myself. The tsavorite cab and a pair of ruby pears. Yummy!

It sounds like there will be items posted all week. Enjoy!!!

 

[Indylady]

Great thread idea!

 

[Largosmom]

Yup, that is the one!

 

[packrat]

oooo pretty stone Largosmom! I admired it a time or seven!

 

[Largosmom]

Thank you! I''ve had my eyes on a couple of others too, but am waiting to see what else is posted.

[Largosmom]

Those rubies are very pretty...can just see them as dangles!

He hasn't taken any photos yet, but will post when he takes one. I'm considering either a star cut or a round red garnet.

He lists his stones on a forum which I can't mention here due to forum rules. But you can email him at [email protected]

 

[haagen_dazs]

ahhhh i wish i have more money to spend on gems!!
so many other expenses to deal with !!

 

[Largosmom]

Thanks Makingthegrade...I would not want to abuse a forum rule, thought maybe it was one of the vendors on the sticky list at the top of the Colored Stone forum.

Happy hunting!

Laura

 

[StonieGrl]

Funny you should ask!

Some great prices at MasterCut, I bought a fab Burma red spinel today. Also bought a finished piece of jewelry, which I almost never would do, my taste is usually not what I can find ready made.

Check MasterCut!

 

[Largosmom]

Dana has dropped more prices today and says he''s got a bunch more stones to post...best to keep an eye on his site, as he is cleaning out the closets.

I ordered this 5.5 x 6 mm neon tourmaline from Dana today. It is a smaller stone than I would usually go for, but I just love the color. It was very inexpensive, so it is a good way to check out a cutter with whom I am not very familiar. I am considering a bezel or semi-bezel ring in sterling silver. Probably a variation on the Tiffany silver stacking rings or the Lucida bezel.


I hope it is not too late to combine shipping if he puts up more items I like over the holiday weekend.

 

[Largosmom]

He is combining for me, lol! Very pretty color.

Laura

 

[haagen_dazs]

i think you PSers are buying up all his supplies! =p
i havent seen any new stuff yet.
waiting waiting.......

 

[Fly Girl]

Just snapped up a San Carlos peridot trillion.

Must resist the 5.87 ct hot pink tourmaline and the lavender star sapphire.

And, many of those Burmese spinel are new to the sale. So are the bi-colored tourmalines.

Mark, if you have something particular in mind, just send Dana an e-mail.

Sorry Mark...I succumbed to two more stones.

Not sure when he''s going to post more, but in an email he told me has lots coming...maybe for tomorrow? Like some others, I''m checking every couple of hours to see what else he is posting.

Oh very nice stones you all have posted.

Love the color on that peachy stone, so unusual.

Nice Tourm.

GREAT rubies!! And that''s from someone who doesn''t like red!!

I do like the color of the ones you bought though. They will make stunning stunning earring charms for your new plat diamond hoops!

Those are lovely indeed. And a matched pair to boot. I thought of buying them myself, but I am caught up with a few projects, so I had to pass.

First - 5.05ct peridot
