@Marypc Oh, now you've found your own jeweler! You will become hooked, Mary. Trust me. You'll find yourself stopping in his store to "browse" and learn more. When you least expect it, you'll find another piece that "speaks" to you!
My husband brought back a gorgeous pink sapphire pendant from Thailand. I was hooked on colored stones! Couldn't go past my favorite jewelers without stopped and visiting and learning more. Soon, I was taking classes on colored gems. Yes, I am fascinated by the world of gemstones . . . all of them!
So pleased you found such a thoughtful, intelligent, trusted GIA jeweler. Wise way to find him (on Facebook). Word-of-mouth is the best advertising. You are in much better hands with such a jeweler than if you walked into a chain "jewely" store. <shudder>
So pleased you now have someone who knows you and whom you are comfortable dealing with and trust. Have fun wearing the diamond bracelet . . . it is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase! Merry Christmas to YOU!
