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 ...

Piece of the Week: Cartier’s Ring-Tailed Lemur
I'm loving this adorable piece, and quite frankly if I thought I could handle it I'd love to have a ring-tail lemur for a pet. Unfortunately for me that won't happen any more than me acquiring this brooch will happen since, even if I could afford it, it already sold at auction. :lol: Piece of the We...

Watches of Switzerland’s Fiscal-Year Sales Flat
Even though sales fell over the course of the year, Watches of Switzerland's sales here in the U.S. remained strong, and they recently acquired Roberto Coin so things should get even better for them this year. Here's how things went for WOS, and what the future may hold for them if they play their c...

Where Does De Beers Go From Here?
These are precarious times for De Beers who appears to have arrived at a precipice that could throw it off in either direction; continued longevity and success, or it could signal the end for De Beers, which would be tragic for the trade if they lose such a big name. Here's what Rob Bates is reporti...

Adriana Carrig Makes Heart Pieces a Treasure Hunt for Vintage Jewelry
Either my eyes are deceiving me or there are no hearts in this article on 'heart pieces' in vintage jewels. The least they could have done is shown us some such jewels, but not that I can see so if you find any in these pics please point them out to me. :roll: Adriana Carrig Makes Heart Pieces a Tre...

Maria Rzewuska Will Bring These Remarkable Bracelets to Las Vegas
Uhh, no, and I would hardly call these 'remarkable'. :roll: In my world only kids' jewelry might be made out of carbon fiber, not fine jewels, and these might as well have been made from old tires if you ask me. If you feel the same, at the end of the article they tell you where their booth will be ...

Crystal Palace hidden beneath the Mexican desert | The Mystery of the Giant Crystals
Wow, I've seen one of these caves before but this shows there are quite of few more of them in various places around the globe, and the investigation tries to explain the differences in the crystal formations in the various caves. I hope you find this one as interesting and informative as I did. 8-)...

Christie’s Holds 2 Sales Despite Cyberattack
I was surprised to read this since the last we heard was that after the cyberattack they were left with a non-functioning website, which is still down so they did this live auction on YT, so kudos to them for pulling this off despite that setback. Here's what was sold, and quite a few of them went f...
