I only caught a few snippets of the Tucson shows, but did they say which resort that they were broadcasting from?  I couldn't tell from what I saw if it was Starr Pass, La Paloma, Ventana Canyon or some other place.

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. 


I only have one ring from Gem Insider (Paul's line), a 16 x 12mm Sleeping Beauty turquoise stone in a rather generic setting.  The turquoise is a very nice piece but the setting, eh, not quite the design aesthetic of the Gems en Vogue line, lol.  The Gems En Vogue honker 20 x 15mm Sleeping Beauty ring that was on earlier in the day was a beauty, 148-128, but not in my budget right now.

An estimated 700,000 people around the world, 400,000 of them children, have died so far due to the discontinuation of the USAID program.

The few minutes I watched I never heard them say where they were broadcasting from.

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. 


I've been quite attracted to apatite lately, as well, @Kachina624!  Your ring is stunning with those vivid white zircon stones.  Hope you enjoy to the fullest!

Thanks for this thread, I wouldn't have known otherwise.  I just tuned in and all I can say is that I feel for the model. It's only in the 60s here--I'd be frozen. She's either a good actress or from Minnesota.


She is from Minnesota,  but they're probably using those outside heaters.   We've been in the ice box here in Albuquerque for the past week with temp as low as 13° and windy. 


Believe me.  I'm in Minnesota and at 60 degrees we all think it's warm--a heat wave--when we see the 60's at the end of winter!

I couldn't resist the once only GEV aquamarine ring.  I am hoping it is as beautiful in person as on tv as described (the One they said was as deep and blue as the Santa Maria aquamarine).

Michael's mini-cocktail rings were lovely, @NickelEmily!  I hope you're delighted with the aqua.  Enjoy to the fullest!

Enjoy your aquamarine! It's a beautiful stone, my daughters birthstone. Let it exceed your expectations.
