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...

More Great Gemmological Eye-Candy

From Roskin Gem News report, in case you missed it we have a previous article on this subject that you'll be able to find in the Gem ID category so check that out too for more out-of-this-world images, and I added one from the sub-link to see more of her work which also has the photos from th...

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 ...

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...
