All That Glitters Website and Info Changes for September 2015!
Here
are the changes to look for on the All That Glitters Website for September
2015:
This Month's Special: Carved
Mint Merelani Garnet, Sapphire/Diamond Ballerina Ring, Sculpted Yellow Beryl
We
are always interested in new things, whether it is a new find of minerals/gems
or even trying something new when it comes to the Monthly Special. We have three items displayed on the Monthly
Special page for September.
Make an Offer - something new and
different which we have never done in the past, but if there is positive
feedback, we will occasionally do this a few times perhaps throughout the year.
We will take offers via email and at the
end of the month, we will review the highest offer; if we can manage to sell it
at that price, these pieces could have a new home. We are off to the Far East if all goes well
at the end of the year. Funds obtained
will be used to make purchases at the expected very high new prices that we
have seen over the past few years and that we now expected to pay….
This Month's Gem News: Sapphire
- Septembers Birthstone, Read all about it!
Add
Color to Your Life - Sapphire Profile is available, as well as other gemstone
information. Learn More and
peruse
our inventory of Fine Sapphire which spans the Rainbow…
Newly Faceted or Photographed Gemstones:
Just back from the cutters within the past few days is a Fancy
Concave Faceted Ametrine. The rough
weighed 97.15cts and the finished gemstone is 31.66cts. It was faceted to show the unique coloring
within the rough. Another must see as
this is a real beauty and a custom cut was created just for this gemstone -
designed by an award winning cutter/artist.
Would make a great pendant or pearl enhancer and could be set in more
than one way. A row or two of white
diamonds would accent the piece nicely.
Our
Unique Cat's Eye Yellow Beryl has been studied by GIA and will appear in two
different editions of Gems & Gemology!
Oregon
Sunstone Carved/Sculpted (almost 7cts) by Award Winning Artist is now available

Welcome New International Customers:
We
have added two new international customers, one from Dubai and another from the
United Kingdon (London).
The
customer from the UK requested a matched
pair of EGL(USA) Certed Diamonds for the sides of a future ring being created
in Italy. Along with the certs being
delivered to this customer, were two independent appraisals (replacement value)
which shows a figure $8,000+ higher than what was paid for the diamonds from
All That Glitters. Another wonderful
savings from All That Glitters!
New Page - Oregon Sunstone
We've
created a page dedicated to Sunstone from Oregon. At the bottom of this page, we will also display
non-Oregon Sunstone but that fact will be noted.
New Page - All That Glitters Shows the Savings to our
Diamond Customers:
We
were contacted recently regarding a 3.03ct VSI/G Emerald Cut EGL Certed Diamond
found using our Diamond Search Engine. Besides requesting the cert, she
was questioning why the price was so low as in other places she sought a
similar diamond, they were approximately $17,000 more. Yes, $17,000
more…
We
explain how All That Glitters offers value and low pricing on our Certed GIA
and EGL(USA) Diamonds!....
Gemstones in Cutting:
A
90+ct Deeply Colored Ametrine is being carved/sculpted and that is currently in
progress. A piece of quartz with the design is being created first, to
verify the concept/design. Update - Finished and will appear on our website
prior to our monthly being sent out.
Concave Cut - but shows both the Citrine (Gold), Amethyst (Purple) and a
wonderful mixing of the two colors!
One
Color Changing Diaspore is being Concave faceted, and two others will be
carved/sculpted.
A
wonderfully carved colorful Oregon Sunstone weighing almost 7cts has been
finished. (SOLD!)
Two
more pieces of Sunstone (Oregon) rough were delivered to our cutter and we
expect to have these sculpted over the next few months. One has very heavy schiller and will
literally dazzle the eyes if all goes well!
This
work is being created by an award winning cutter whom we are just starting to
work with now.
