Here
are the changes to look for on the All That Glitters Website for October 2015:
This Month's Special: 4.44ct
Pear Shaped Tanzanite - Save OVER $400!!
After
creating a Monthly Special of an Imperial Garnet with Savings of $50, we
thought we would go all out
as
they say and we changed the special.
Many visitors and customers tend not to visit our Monthly Special Page -
which is a shame as we offer savings not normally seen. So, for the Month of October, and with
Savings of over $400, we hope that a few people will actually visit this page
and consider purchasing this beautiful (deep rich purple with blue depending on
the lights) Tanzanite - it is well cut, a beautiful shape, clean, etc. For the new owner of this piece, there will
be lots of enjoyment, as well as lots of savings!
This Month's Gem News: Everyone
has heard of the Hope Diamond, but the Hope Spinel??...
Yes,
there is such a gemstone and it will be auctioned off in September by Bonhams -
see the photos and read
the

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 duly 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:
One
Color Changing Diaspore is being Concave faceted, and two others will be
carved/sculpted.
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!
We
hope to have this cutter facet a fan shaped Ametrine in the future, and will
deliver a Tourmaline also, and he can
work his magic on both of these pieces!
This work is being created by an award winning cutter whom we are just starting
to work with now.
