Please take a look (or Two) at My new WordPress blog.  I will be selling these things and others on the new blog.   I’m not a jeweler but it is My hope that I will attract some and  start doing business

FYI….

This pair of oval are from Multi-color Tourmaline rough originating in Tanzania.  Green and Red flashes depending on the light and the angle it hits them.   I’ll be working on additional that have slightly different shades of Red and Green.  The rough I bought lends itself nicely to finished ovals.

Stone #1…..4.2 x 5.5mm Commercial Oval   .30 carat

Stone #2…..4.25 x 5.9mm Commercial Oval   .44 carat
