Expertise I'm here to help you find the perfect stone for any purpose! Name any color and I will list gems for you. I love introducing people to new and unexpected gemstones. I answer questions about the gemstones themselves only, NO JEWELRY OR PRECIOUS METAL/ MAKERS MARKS questions, if it deals with settings, bands, jeweler/maker marks, silver, gold, or platinum, I WILL NOT respond, I simply don't know anything about that. I also CAN'T value rough stones or appraise anything for you, and I can not help you tell if your jewelry is real or fake, so please don't ask.
