NEW--Precious Pink Ruby briolettes!
These are truly precious and beautiful pink ruby faceted briolettes. The color is marvelous, a deep rose pink.

Gorgeous Rutilated Quartz
Could not resist these gorgeous rutilated quartz briolettes. Black and white are classic, elegant choices for jewelry and these pieces are the height of elegance. Mother Nature worked very long and hard to create the fascinating tiny stick-like inclusions in the quartz, and added more color as well. Quartz is one of the largest gem groups, but this type of formation, with the rutile inclusions, is extremely rare and desirable. These briolettes have everything: uniqueness, elegance, quiet classic presence, and they are "gemmy". Size, 12x9mm, not flat, 3-dimensional. About 54 briolettes on each 7.5" strand, approx. 175 carats. You'll never see anything this beautiful elsewhere! Combine with rich white and black pearls, and high karat white gold accents, for an unforgettable jewel. Rutilated quartz, one strand, $125.00.

The shapes are irregular and each drop seems to be an original. The color is a rich violet red with some lighter or darker inclusions. Ruby rough, 75 cents per carat.
NEW--Very Hard to Find, Pink Tourmaline Faceted Drops
I always search for pink tourmaline since it is my favorite gem. These briolettes are really special. The color is fantastic, a wonderful deep rose pink, and they have so much life & sparkle! They are tiny though. Size is about 4x4mm and you get a lot of pieces on the 8" strand--about 10 drops per inch. These are the best quality faceted tourmaline I have seen, especially the color. A really special gem selection. Photo enlarged to show detail. Pink tourmaline faceted drops, 8" strand, $225.00.
