This Month's Special: 4.44ct Pear Shaped Tanzanite - Save OVER $400!!

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!

New Page - Unsolicited/Gracious Email from one of our customers
One of our customers took the time to share his experiences with All That Glitters, in the choosing of Fine Quality Gemstones destined to become heirlooms, for his four daughters…
(This is available on our Main Page as a New Link, and will also appear on our Learn More page)

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.
