I have! I bought some iolite earrings, a white topaz pendant, and a small band with some emeralds in it. Also a couple of 'decoy' sets of jewellery that I use for travel, made out of things I won't discuss here 
In the case of the iolite earrings, I originally wanted a garnet pendant but after I placed the order she informed me that on closer inspection the stone was chipped and she offered to refund me or swap it for something else. I chose the earrings, which were actually more expensive, and she covered the extra cost. This may have been an issue if I had my heart set on the pendant (I didn't), so I was happy. She's nice and communicative as well.
The workmanship is fine for the price, but I've only ever bought stuff in the silver so I don't know about the quality of the other materials. The stones are reasonably well cut as well, and they're nice simple mixing pieces that I get a fair bit of wear out of. I don't know about treatment levels (the low price I was paying for stuff didn't really warrant closer investigation) but I'm sure she'll be happy to answer questions.

texaskj said:Thanks ITTM, that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for.
My pleasure
Here's a shot of the iolites, in case it helps. They are actually a colour match but the angle I was holding them on was playing up the dichroism (one of the reasons I like that particular stone, but it might not float everybody's boat).
