Instappraise Adds Trifold Brochure to Appraisal Offerings

This looks like a great idea that might be useful to some of you, and I would print them on heavy paper so they look professional. You'll also need a double-sided printer, which is something that I don't have, but I'm not selling my jewels so I don't need these, although it would be nice to catalog ...

Phillips Auction in Geneva: The Results! Jewels Auction: TWO

Whoa!!! Now here's some eye candy I can really get into, and I like most of them, although the amethyst 'collar' necklace looks awful to me, and the hair clip in the last 2 shots would bug the stew out of me if I tried to wear it, but the pansy brooch by Oscar Heyman and the ‘Panthère’ necklace by C...

IGR & The Ophir Collection: The Ophir Collection: $60 Million Dollar Bargain, or $3.2 Billion Dollar Scam?

I may not be Jewish, but this does not look kosher to me and it will be interesting to see what happens with this boondoggle. From Roskin Gem News report, use the link at the bottom to access the article and then the sub-link to more of Bergman's article on the Ophir collection. Looks like a scam to...

AGTA GemFair Las Vegas Exhibitors by Gemstone

This is from AGTA so it can't be reposted here and I'm only giving you the headline, the lead sentence and paragraph so you'll know the dates and times of the show, and the photo they used to represent the opal sellers. This lists every gemstone in alphabetical order and tells you where their booths...

JCK Jewelry Agenda: Week of May 19

First up is JCK's Jewelry Agenda for this week, and although I'm delighted they chose an emerald ring for the lead pic while it's still May, I don't care for it; but there's a great pocket watch in the last pic from 1883, so check out their agenda for this week. :) JCK Jewelry Agenda: Week of May 19...

Re: Should I continue the Funday Sunnies here?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I sit here waiting and waiting for this computer to do what I tell it to, and eventually roll my eyes and say oh good, I get to hurry up and wait, and for that laughter is the only remedy to keep me using this relic. :lol: This was a joyous week with not only the ones fro...

Turning a fossil into the best crystal opal I have ever cut

Here's another one from Jason at Black Opal Direct, and this fossilized shell is quite spectacular before he even dives into it. I have a fossilized shell I bought from our member mick who's a miner in Oz many years ago, but it only has a bit of color so there's no comparison with this. This one is ...
