Newly Faceted or Newly Photographed Gemstones: 

Three Natural Alexandrites are back from GIA after being certed. Though many fine gemstones have gone up a large amount, say 40%, Natural Alexandrite has sky rocketed.  We added some information on our Natural Alexandrite page that we found on line, where a 2.09ct, GIA certed Alex, which seems to be decent in color change, is selling at $50,000/ct – making this one particular gemstone over $100k.  Even smalls are outrageously priced.  We have a nice selection of pieces ranging from 34pts to a whopping 1.65ct – most if not all are GIA Certed – and VERY well priced.  Sorry to all those that have been drooling over that 1.00ct Oval we had in the past – it now resides in Australia and that is one of the top 3 or so Alexandrites we have had in the past 42 years and we are always seeking this material – current problem is that there is nothing of fine quality that is affordable, except in the All That Glitters Collection! 

Also back from GIA, is a Radiant Cut Reddish Pink Sapphire.

An incredible Indicolite (Blue) Tourmaline sold to a goldsmith – only lasted only hours when he saw a photo.

We wanted to share a photo of a Lab Grown Alexandrite/Diamond Engagement Ring that one of our customers created using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase.

(www.atggems.com/ Jewelers-Showcase.htm – who’ll be next to create a piece??!??)

The owner of All That Glitters has finished a beautiful 17+ct Chrome YAG (lab grown garnet) as a test of rough that we offer to the faceting community.  What a beauty – looks like Chrome Tourmaline or an incredible large example of Tsavorite Garnet!

Many new items that require perusing include:  Round Blue Sapphires(Only 2 left), MT Sapphire, Two Hand-Grooved Blended Ametrines faceted from our rough, a Hand-Grooved Oregon Sunstone with Schiller also from our rough, a Uniquely Colored Congo Tourmaline, Grape Garnet (only one!), Kunzite Diamond Ring, Russian Malachite/Azurite Slice, Orangy or Pinkish Morganite, Precious Yellow Topaz, Purple Sapphire, a 1+ct Tsavorite Garnet of a fine color priced to move, Sparkly/Brilliant Deeply Saturated Tanzanite (a Must See and below what one would expect in pricing), Two Robins Egg Blue Sapphire (Wow! Can’t believe that no one has grabbed this online yet!), Mahenge Reddish/Pinkish/Orange Spinel, 3 Natural Alexandrites one of 34pts, another of 41pts and the largest is a whopping 0.88cts, and lastly an Incan Amulet.

(Prices on Natural Alexandrite of all qualities have gone up dramatically in the past few years – all of our Alexandrites are priced to move, all below current pricing seen in the wholesale trade in Tucson 2023 – screen grabs of some pricing seen are available.  We just sold one of the top three Alexandrites that we have had in over 42 years  -  based on color change, size, cutting, clarity – and it also had a GIA Cert.)

Gemstones in Cutting:

Currently next to the All That Glitters faceting lap, is a large piece of Lab Grown Alexandrite just in for those we sell to who facet.  The owner of All That Glitters is currently contemplating the shape – perhaps  an oval – and in a month or so, this should be completed!

We have obtained some lab grown Alexandrite and YAG that cutters have been requesting and we plan on slicing and trimming this material for sale to the trade/cutters.  Hopefully, a few pieces will be cut to test these new items and the results will be offered for sale in the future.

• Yes!  We have completed a test sample of the YAG and have faceted a 17+ct Oval.  It is currently for sale on our Newly Photographed Page!  A Lab Grown Alexandrite will follow.

There is very little new rough presently and we already have representations faceted from that rough, including:  Blue Flash Amethyst, Blended Ametrine, Tourmaline, Color Change Diaspore, Yellow Beryl, Color Change Garnet, Umbalite and Rhodolite Garnet, Synthetic Alexandrite and others….

 

More Lab Grown Diamonds being used in Accents or as large Engagement Rings!

More and more Lab Grown Diamonds are showing up in jewelry stores and we have been requested to use lab grown diamond melee by a number of our customers.  Retail stores are selling large lab grown diamonds at $15,000 per sale at times.  Technology has allowed these diamonds to grow larger, cleaner and whiter.  Prices have come down making them extremely affordable.  We can supply these fine quality large lab grown diamonds at a fraction of the cost of retail stores – so if our customers would be interested, we would consider entering this market – or fulfilling their request.  Please drop us an email and let us know your thoughts.  We have access to all sizes and at great prices – typically 2-3ct Diamonds, with Color of F-G, and Clarity of VS is not a problem and the prices are incredibly low…and All with Certs and Laser Inscriptions on the girdles!

 

 All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase!

All That Glitters had teamed up with Stuller Settings - Choose a Setting/Design for a Gemstone in the Comfort of Your Home!   Once you have made your choice/selection, save it.  We will be notified via email and can provide you a special All That Glitters discounted price, typically about 30% off the price that had been displayed; what is calculated is the retail price, so we must recalculate to give you the All That Glitters Discount!  Note that savings on All That Glitters colored gemstones could be as high as 75% or so off retail, since we purchase as close to the source as possible, and there are no others in between the purchase of the rough or faceted gemstone.  Contact us if you have found your special gemstone in our inventory and we can provide the dimensions if not already stated on our website – you can search the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase for that shape and those dimensions to find that special setting…
