Gem Hunting

Tucson, Arizona is the venue for what is arguably the best Gem and Mineral show in the world. January 23rd till February 11th sees thousands of exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors at this incredible trade fair where there will be every gem and mineral you have and haven't even heard of. Meteorite to moon rock and red diamonds to rare garnets, this show is a must for jewellers, collectors and enthusiasts. Saying that, due to my crazy work schedule at the moment I am unable to go but one of my stone dealers and friends is there as I write this. He has promised me that he is hunting for some extra special material! Specifically, we are in search of some exquisite stones for the Celestial Cocktail Rings and the new Satellite Ring which we like to think is our most delicious ring to date! So watch this space and I will let you know what beauties have been unearthed Stateside. If you have any special requests then please do get in touch and we will endeavour to find the perfect gem for you.
