Thank you Pandora for the congrats! While I did place first last year (2011), this year's honor for first place in innovative faceting goes to the extremely talented Dalan Hargrave. Just wanted to chime in to clarify
Ooops - sorry Jeff. Bit odd - the link I used that showed this years set pieces also had your morganite down in the faceting bit . Anyway, a belated congratulations for last year!
This year, PS vendors to congratulate were:
Roger L. Dery - 2nd place - Other Faceted Gemstones (8.77 ct. trillion, step-cut Merelani mint Garnet)
Richard Homer - Honourable Mention - Innovative Faceting (30.95 ct. rutilated Quartz with a single natural needle in the centre)
