I had the most amazing experience of custom designing my own wedding ring. I did not choose a diamond. Not long after, my husband and I discovered the world of Genuine Gemstones. We had a new activity we shared but it was more than that. We discovered exotic world locations, fascinating stories, rare mines that have since closed, gemstone phenomenon and so much more. We handpicked each one over several years. The majority over 15 years ago. We are only now beginning to share them with the world. A new vigor has appeared for genuine gemstones. Seems the world of lab created has been clearly seen, (pun). Ready for the inclusions, rainbows, horsetails, iridescence, brilliance, flourescence and the color changing of genuine gemstones? So are we.

I purchased a small parcel of Unheated Untreated Aquamarine. We were hooked. We spent hours learning about genuine gemstones. Spent years buying them when they were able to be found. We didn't realize those years were fleeting. Did not know the genuine gemstone market we had stubled upon had only been thriving for a year. A handful of years later, it was gone. Then lab created colored gemstones arrived. I knew the value of the gemstones for future investment even though my wife never planned on selling them. Funny how excited she is now. It is something else to be seeing them again. In pictures, on our website and now being worn as engagement rings. Awesome.
