There's a van Gogh exhibit at the Denver museum that sounds so great, I cashed in miles to see it. Will be there Friday, Sat, Sun. If anyone knows of stone vendors or jewelers good for some happy browsing, I'd love to hear.
Marcy is in that area and gets a fair amount of jewelry. Just in case she doesn't see this, I'll page her in the healthy lifestyle thread and let her know you're interested in some places. Happy bling hunting!
JewelFreak, there are some nice jewelry stores in the downtown area in Cherry Creek. Oster Jewelers is on Steele Street downtown and there is a Tiffany's and Hyde Park Jewelers in Cherry Creek Mall. I don't know how much if any loose gemstones they have though. I have bought a lot of loose sapphires (assorted colors) from the Shane Company. They have 2 stores in the Denver area. They also have loose rubies. We've been having great weather around here lately so hopefully this weekend will be a nice one for you.
