Best places to shop for OECs and OMCs?

[KristyDarling]

Rockzilla''s post about the jeweler in Santa Monica that had a great OEC selection has spurred me into asking a question I''ve had for a loooong time: where are some great places to browse for OECs and OMCs? I''m especially in love with OMCs -- those glittery little disco balls!

Online and B&M recommendations are both welcome, thank you.

And by the way, no I''m not looking to buy. Just looking to look! And dream. And well, maybe I''ll put a little OMC on my wish list this year, hehe. An OMC in a halo...can you just imagine? I would die a happy death!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Kristy, I think singlestone has a nice selection online to look at, and nelsonrarities...hopefully widget will see this, she''s the OEC/OMC expert.

Wow - I took a peek at Rockzilla''s post - I must go thank Rockzilla next!

KD - I think what you need to do is take a little trip down to Santa Monica and I will personally escort you to Rockzilla''s little gem of a find!

I won''t make you buy anything - just looking of course!

Maybe we could convince Kcoursolle and JulieN and Kenny (and anyone else in LA that I am not thinking of off the top of my head) to come along!!

I''m in OC! I bought my Vatche setting at a jewelers in Santa Monica on 3rd street. I sure wish I had known about the jeweler on 4th street to view the OEC''s and OMC''s!

That probably would have pushed my husband over the edge (not to mention the children) but darn that woulda been fun!!

If anyone who is a more "serious" OEC shopper than me goes there, please update my review and let me know what you thought...I really loved looking at all the stones and had tons of fun, but I didn''t really pay attention to if prices were competitive or not...it seems to me like it would be less clear cut shopping for OECs than ideal-cut RBs.

Of course, my BF thought everything was expensive...don''t guys always??

Kristy what about Lang''s? I think innerkitten got her ering there, and it''s a old cut, I forget which one.

Kristy-
Just to let you know, Wink can source these for you. I am getting an extremely well cut, firey one from him. Actually, he''s going to do a presentation tonight displaying my 3ct OEC, which is absolutely beautiful!!!

I hope I can make it home in time to see this presentation as I am in love with this stone!
