Have you been to multicolour lately?

They have a small section advertising David Wein jewelry and this totally caught my eye - it''s an alexandrite/diamond eternity band and I really like it! I have no idea about this jeweler though... I''m tempted to ask about the treatment. They look too perfect with the color change... but what do I know?! What do you guys think?

the site: http://www.davidwein.com (the ring retails for $960)

This website is more difficult to maneuver than MC.com

He also doesn''t give the carat weights.

I don''t know if I would trust the pic. Ask David about it.

Hi TL! I know, the site isn't very intuitive at all.
When you look at a piece's page, there's a link to "what is it made of" (odd, right?) and this is what it says:

Ask David Weinberg about it. He''s good at answering questions. I know because I''ve pestered the poor man to death with questions in the past. Returns to Thailand are no fun, so I always ask him lots of questions!!

Per the stats listed, the colour change appears to be quite good, which I suppose is much easier in melee stones than something larger. I would not hesitate to email David though just to be sure. My dealings with him and his company has always been very pleasant, prompt and professional.

This is a new website set up by David. I only know because I found it by accident, saw something I liked and emailed David to ask about it. I believe he sources all the stones and then has the items made.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy Alex from him AND typically, Alex isn't treated in any way.
