Where can I find chrysoprase jewelry?

[pregcurious]

I had my baby in May and would like to start collecting chrysoprase jewelry for her. (Emerald is too pricey right now.) Where can I find simple, good quality chrysoprase jewelry set in 18K white gold? I know I''m jumping the gun here, but I''m planning on wearing it myself until she turns 21.

Check with Julia Kay Taylor on Etsy. She has written that chrysoprase is one of her favorite stones, and she has a gorgeous ring available now (but in silver with 18k YG accents):

Jstarfireb, thank you! I think Julia''s jewelry is beautiful and the Argentium Silver looks like it will last.

Rick Martin at www.artcutgems.com normally has some loose chrysoprase on his site.

I have one from him and I think Flygirl has a few as well.

Congratulations on the baby - my daughter was born on the 17th May so I know exactly what you mean about the cost of emerald!

There''s loose stones at ACS http://www.acstones.com/productcart/pc/viewCat_h.asp?idCategory=38. I bought one similar to this http://www.acstones.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=38&idproduct=1458
and I''ve been eyeing this http://www.thegemtrader.com/Nov%2009%20Chrysoprase%20Page.htm. the colour looks lovely! but it''s too expensive for me

(I''ve been lurking around for a while - and was happy to see someone talk about chrysoprase! they come in such gorgeous greens
