Artistic Colored Stones-Great Buying Experience

[Colored Gemstone Nut]

Well I just wanted to pass on that I had a great buying experience from Barbara Smigel at www.acstones.com. I was in the market for a smaller round rhodolite garnet and she had a stone that fit the bill. Barbara was curtious, answered all my emails promptly and shipped the item expeditiously after receiving payment. I purchased a 1.8 CT. Rhodolite Garnet Flawless at 10x with slightly orangey, slightly purplish medium dark pink color. This round has great dispersion in many different lighting conditions. Now all I have left to do is pick out a pendant setting for a necklace for Regina. I was thinking maybe a dainty chain with an exquisite setting in the floral pattern like the settings I have seen Wink post from the experienced Vietemese jeweler who he works with. Let me know what you think of the stone.

Josh- I agree. I purchased an 8mm. round unheated Brazilian rubellite from A.C.S.(really nice cut and color). Barbara always does a great job.

Regina likes white gold, so I think I will try to go with the White Gold Flower Motife pendant. I''ll keep you guys updated on the progress.
