Rough cuts are good value when cut and set expertly. Oooh I would love to attend that fair.<br /><br />Vancouver Barbara: They are also discreet. I saw a pair of earrings featuring 10 ct rough emerald drops. Not easily identifiable but if you knew what they were, wow.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-52472774379079769742019-04-09T13:02:10.142-04:002019-04-09T13:02:10.142-04:00Thanks for an interesting post.

I mentioned in my note how much I've appreciated your blog because of what I've learned over the years - that goes especially for jewellery. I used to work for a company in Germany that supplied boxes and displays to the jewellery industry and attended the Basel jewellery fair a few times, so I've long had an interest (but not necessarily the money to indulge that interest). I love reading about jewellery - I've seen drusy jewellery before, but didn't know anything about it until now. Thanks!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504513116873595049noreply@blogger.com
