New Stones

Just came back from purchasing some incredible looking stones from one of my favorite stone cutters here in southern Germany. I'm in trouble. I have never spend so much money for stones in one day. Expensive, but incredible qualities and cuts.

Here is a little preview:

I will be heading to a gem show this weekend. Apparently there will be a couple cabochon dealers there. I absolutely love picking stones first hand instead of over the internet. 

Can't wait to get started sketching some new designs.

Do you use hand cut stones intend of mass produced ones?

Have a super fantastic day everyone!
