I think it''s just make any offer, lol. He''s taking at least 10% off the stones automatically, but you''re free to make an offer that''s more than 10% off (lower price), and he''ll accept or reject it.


Oops, somebody beat me to the explanation , haha.

I''m looking at a few things, but still debating.

Ok, maybe another dumb question -- are the prices listed already 10% off, or is the listed price the original one?

Thanks for your help!

Original prices are what are listed.

I guess 10% or less than the asking price?

Sure doesn''t make any sense. Who''d want to make an offer any less than that?

Exactly!! That''s why I was confused.

So maybe you can offer a little more than the 10% off and he might accept. Just worded unclearly.

I don''t think he wants to sell the gems for 10%. I think that is a discount figure.

Ah, I didn''t word my post correctly either. I meant 10% less off the original price.

 

[FrekeChild]

Lol. It took me a while to figure that stuff out too. So are you guys interested in anything?

I emailed him about a very cheap stone. We''ll see!

And yourself?

Haha, I knew what he meant even though it was worded in a confusing manner. I''ve been looking but haven''t found anything that I NEED yet.

 

[FrekeChild]

Mine was pretty cheap too (especially with the discount!) and blue. I don''t think he''s marked it as sold yet though...

i was also looking at something blue but had no idea how to set it...

 

[mochi]

I got something also. Not on sale but just couldn''t resist...such a weakness I have.

ooh, what is it?

 

[Linda W]

Oh spill it Mochi, what did you get??????

 

[Linda W]

Did someone here buy that gorgeous mint garnet???? It was to die for.

 

[mercoledi]

Freke- how low did you offer? I''m tempted and a sucker for a bargain, but I don''t want to shoot too low...


Also not it on the paraiba. I wish. Instead I got Rick''s non-glowy parabia colored namibian sparkleball.

Oh... a gemstone...

 

[FrekeChild]

I did 25%.

I''ll tell you guys what I got if you tell me what you got!

(I''m on a school computer, so it might take me a while though...)

 

[mochi]

Ok..you first..

 

[FrekeChild]

Gem 107. But I started out with 564.

Ok.... I love both of them!!

Let me know what you think about the zircon, very interested if it sparkles like a diamond. I love zircons!!

A few nights ago I had all my gemstones out and was playing with it and my hubby was looking at them with me. He than said, "Geez! You have too many pinkish stones!"

I interpreted that as meaning, "You need to get other colors than pink" and a go ahead for me to purchase a stone that was not in the ''pink'' family...so I got the 850...

 

[FrekeChild]

Oh my. That stone is going to be FABULOUS in real life.

I liked the zircon because of the size (who knew I''d become a size whore?!) and because of the draw of being a zircon, and my only zircons are teeny tiny step cuts from Barry. I don''t think they do zircon justice, from what I understand about them, so I want a pretty one. Plus, the shape rocks my socks.

AND I''ve been keeping in mind how everyone suggested I add a blue stone into my wedding necklace/s and between that and finding a great silver smith in town, I may actually be able to afford to make multiple wedding necklaces.

And I dig the blue. I like that it''s not super vibrant like a lot of zircons.

Mochi, was the the mint green one???????

 

[Linda W]

ACK!! I just looked at his site, it is, it is, it is. I LOVE that stone. I debated for the longest time, if I should get it or not. I am SO glad that YOU did Mochi. It is going to be beautiful.

How are you going to set it????????????????????

I have a few zircons and I love them. They are so sparkly.

I think it''s going to look fabulous as a necklace!!

I had my eyes on that stone since it debute.

Have no idea how I''m going to set it but it''s certainly going to be a ring. I have to look at it first. It appears to be a chunky cut???

It sure looks like it Mochi. What a beautiful ring it will make. I want to play with your collection.

 

[FrekeChild]

Oooo....Meant to say that I was going to get 564, but changed my mind and decided to get 107--mostly because of the size. Sorry if that was confusing.

Lets get some eye candy in this place!

Zircon!

 

[mercoledi]

Ok, I can't find any of your stones. Not a one. Maybe I'm slow, or maybe Gene already cleaned up the site?

Now spill, who got what?

ETA: Nope, I'm just slow. Nice pick Mochi! That's a beauty. Freke- let us all know how that modified marquise is, I've always been interested...

 

[Lady_Disdain]

I just sent in an offer. Fingers crossed!

 

[mochi]

OH..I hope you get it...fingers crossed also!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Any word Lady_D?
