| I'm here to help you find the perfect stone for any purpose! Name any color and I will list gems for you. I love introducing people to new and unexpected gemstones. I answer questions about the gemstones themselves only, NO JEWELRY OR PRECIOUS METAL questions, if it deals with settings, bands, jeweler/maker marks, silver, gold, or platinum, I will not respond, I simply don't know anything about that :) I also cannot value rough stones or appraise anything for you, and I can not help you tell if your jewelry is real or fake, so please don't ask. | Available

| With over 28 years in the jewelry industry we can answer most any questions you may have regarding "fine" jewelry, we cannot answer questions regarding "costume" jewelry or antique value jewelry unless it is diamond or gemstone related. In addition I cannot answer questions regarding Hallmarks or which jeweler made your item of jewelry. Please do not ask these questions as I am a diamond expert and jewelry designer. | Available

| Have a question about jewelry repair or working with gold or silver jewelry and gemstones? I am a working professional bench jeweler, involved everyday with setting stones in mountings, designing and making jewelry, repairing and some custom manufacture. Over 30 years experience. If you work with jewelry as a hobby or as a profession, I might be able to help. I deal with the retail business, not mass production. Ask privately if you wish. See the box for that: It keeps your question between us. Please DO NOT ask MAKER'S MARKS, but metal quality marks are fine to ask. Please DO NOT ask diamond prices. See a gemologist for that. | On Vacation

| I will try to answer all questions on the actual geological name and identification of specimens and interests. I do NOT stay abreast of where the last discovery of this or that is. I do not manufacture jewelry, such as silver smithing, casting, or wire wrapping, but I do sell to people that do and will try to help where I can, but really have no interest in the jewelry end of the business. | On Vacation

| We are collectors, hobbyists and dealers in memorabilia and antiques - especially antique vintage and costume jewelry items. For 10 years we owned an antique shop here in Central Florida but retired and reopened a site on the internet that specializes mostly in antique jewelry and accessories such as perfume bottles, etc. Bill is informed on general antiques specializing in china and silver or sterling tablewares while Sally tends to jewelry and paper/advertising ephemera. We receive a lot of general questions from our site and would be glad to try and answer or give direction not considered for official appraisal purposes, i.e. estate or insurance. | On Vacation
