You sure picked a beauty Dallas!  That ring is gorgeous.  The stones are a nice size.  Loved the color saturation on it too.  Wear in the best of health girlfriend.  Please post a review after you receive it.  I knew you would see at least one item that had to come home.  Good for you.  You chose well.  That ring's a winner for sure. @Dallas-Dame

Gorgeous!!!! Rubellite is a very impressive stone! This setting you are going to love. I have a similar with spessartite garnets.

Enjoy it in a great health! Let us know please.

Paul's Charoite is terrible quality. Do not buy. It throw away stuff.


 

 

@SANNA   Many of Paul's gemstones are very poor quality.   You'll notice he never says who designed his offerings.   I bet he buys stuff by the gross at Hong Kong jewelry shows and just resells them.   I'd be tickled pink if they got rid of him.

Ive been on an appetite  kick and ordered #152-028 yesterday.   It has already shipped. 

 

I noticed that Chuck and Michael have upped their use of white zircon which makes me very happy as its so much more sparkly than white topaz.   I think it really enhances colored stones.

@BlingQueen022@SANNA  Thanks so much, Bling and Sanna!  I did fine throughout the shows but that Rubellite left me weak!  I expedited shipping so should be here on the 10th.  Will write a review once on my finger!

 

Hope you both enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

You are right, but they are never going to get rid of him. Only because he is a cute guy an d people love Judy too. If you remember Ramseys, Paul and Judy team is their Dollar store version. I made a mistake buying 2 pieces  from Paul. Wish I never have.

I can't speak to the quality of Paul's opaque stones, but he's picked up some outstanding peridot and African amethyst in the past that I have -- solitaires of 3+ carats that elsewhere are usually loaded with inclusions, but his are good.

Lots of beautiful pieces. The only thing I bought was a pendant with wild horse japser and garnets from Joya by Judy Crowell. I've never bought anything from her line before, but I really liked the contrast in that piece, both the color contrast and also natural stone vs. polished gemstones.

 

I just received a mookite ring by Jay King that I think will go nicely with the pendant.

I managed not to purchase anything this time, only because I was not home for most of it lol.  Anyway Chuck says he will be back next week so I may shop then.  I know all of you will love your new lovely pretties.
