Sometimes in life you just need to let go and have a bit of fun, and it's a strategy
that would seem to be paying off for many retailers.
In an ideal world most jewellers would prefer to be dealing with only precious metals
and the finest natural gemstones, but in recent years this has become a less fortuitous
path. track="on" style="color: rgb(140, 140, 106); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">

The earth makes beautiful things. With heat, pressure, and time, raw planetary stuff
eventually morphs into fantastic minerals of every color, size, and shape. In their
natural forms they are unbelievably beautiful, and for some, the story stops here,
but in the hands of a talented lapidary, some minerals can be shaped and polished
into exquisite gems suitable for jewelry. href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0015z4JBGNIQ2Jw5hixTy7t_zyq4dcrg8Zvcu9Jxovb0PYyeGt7QsXA0ZFSU3II5ipr5o1B8zGqwXND-DSLjSRCTZevZBwpjvNTp19NRMPkxKxe5wG2jXPcQWx2PQFB3huyA-uQgRya4Q2js5V-Ik9vXdlMfaMPQtpM85kEFMZTfsguXzq8WnscORK6lpQrUivoF5r6tTHViNPrYPG73I3vaYyBBeQkY8xEXuA6em3i0I9QS5shvGqxiOsA7RHkc0uS3CdbZb1HPDw="
