This unique piece is a winner in every category. Julie used reclaimed gold to fashion the pendant that lets light through almost all of this one of a kind Brazilian opal. It was cut by master gem cutter Alex Horst of Prescott, AZ - the "bubbles" faceted on the back of the gemstone bring it to life. It measures 25mm across the widest portion of the bottom and 37mm from top to bottom. $2,225.00.
A gentleman came into the store with a sketch he made for an anniversary present for his wife. There are 10 diamonds signifying their 10 years together and he wanted the birthstones of their two children in the middle.
His sketch became a CAD-CAM image (we actually give him two styes to choose from - one had the diamonds set with prongs and the one he chose had them set in channels). Once he picked the style and chose the birthstones for the center, the ring was cast and the stones were set. 
Nick picked out an ideal cut G colored diamond to put in this new setting from Gelin-Abaci. It looks really great on Jodi's finger - oh yeah, she said "Yes!"
This picture shows how the Gelin-Abaci tension setting allows the maximum amount of light to get in and around your diamond. 65 to 85 pounds of pressure keep your diamond secure.
As you can see, Dawn is one happy lady. She and Dave celebrated their anniversary with a customized setting from Gelin-Abaci set with a lovely princess cut diamond. There is a close up of the ring below. We hit a couple bumps in the road and delays on our way to making Dawn smile like this - but everyone was happy with the end result. (And people wonder why Julie and I have so much fun at work!)
Take a look at Dan & Stephanie - we like BIG SMILES. I like to think Stephanie is smiling because of the extra coolio Mokume Gane earring and pendant set Julie made for Dan to give her on their wedding day.....but I realize the truth of the matter; she is thrilled to be marrying such a considerate guy.
