Michael E @ Gemshoppe.....recommendations?

[Taylorbug!]

I am in the process of contacting Michael about a project and was just wondering how many of you have items that he has created for you? I know the most recent I have seen is that Gorgeous "Lemony" project.....I am sure there are lots of others!

Hi there! I had approached Michael E to mount my chrome tourmaline, Rubellite Tourmaline and agate for me. Because of the fact that I COULD NOT find a competent benchman here in Singapore! I have to say that he is a great communicator and is very prompt in responses (well, this is crucial). Most of all, he is the only person that can assure me that the stones will not be scratched under magnification I shall wait for my latest 18k wg mount from jewelryhoo before sending Michael all 3 stones and settings. O ya I had a chipped garnet and will be sending it to Michael too, hopefully something can be done (I am keeping my fingers cross)

I will certainly keep you gals update when everything is done!

Thanks so much for your response.....I sent him several emails today and he was very prompt about getting back to me with lots of options for my remount. Good luck with your''s and I look forward to seeing pics!

I don''t as of yet (lot of help I am, eh??) but I KNOW there''s a thread that I can''t find, of a ring Michael was doing for someone. A solitaire and I thought it had engraving/fishtail prongs on it. It was being modeled after another setting and the poster had some questions. Dangit. I hate when I can''t find stuff.

I know he recently did the remount for Amethyste....and it was gorgeous....but wanted to see some of his other work.

I''ve got a tourmaline with engraving and faux fishtails from him. There''s a thread floating around. He''s great to work with!

It's yours Velouria! Gah-was driving me nuts! As soon as I saw your name I remembered! Thank you for putting me out of my misery.

Taylor, Velouria has a beautiful ring floating around here someplace!

ETA: Kismet has a ring too, I saw when I searched. Zircon/spess ring.

Michael communicates very fast by email
he has been top notch and shares lots of interesting tidbits about jewelry.
