Zircons & Aquamarine

We have been working on getting some nice Zircon in Champaine, Golden Brown and Brown. They have good color and are of good quality. More on this as we progress.

Matt has cut two Brazilian Beauties this spring. These are a 9.8ct Aquamarine cut in a Rectangular Checker Board Top and a 9ct Aquamarine cut in a Rectangular Checker Board Top with a small diamond shaped table. The color of the Aquamarine is a more "Sea Green-Blue" color. We feel the color leans more toward the very light Emerald color. These are both up for sale. Ck the Showroom. http://customgemcutter.com/

We have also been working with an African company on their Aquamarines. The Aquamarine that is now coming from Nigeria is clean and a deeper "Sea Blue-Green" color. This is a great color coming out of Nigeria. New shipment coming soon!!

Changes...

Hi Everyone,



We have made some new changes in our websites and pages.


Not all change is bad. Actually, these changes are to help you navigate our sites. So, as we head into Spring, we here at Gemstones by D.Sign and Custom Gem Cutter are taking on a new look. Like trying on new shoes, they may look good but may not be comfortable, so, if you are inclined to do so, please fill out our guestbook and comment. Let us know how your navigation went, if the colors are pleasing, is the layout functional to your needs... do you like it or not? you know the rest.
