OMG it's DECEMBER !!

Sorry to shout, but hold on to your Reindeers, that silly season is here ! I've hardly been lazy the last few months but suddenly the red light is on and I've still got so much new Jewellery to share, so I've been madly uploading and this will continue. Keep you eyes on the Latest Jewellery Uploads page, there's a lot of awesome and unique gems to come ! Of note, those beautiful Champagne Argyle Diamonds in 14 Kt Gold. I've never been a fan of Diamonds ~ there's too much hype about them ~ but these ones have Soul ~ and thanks to Paul's astute buying the prices are very reasonable. There's a...

The Real Work Begins :-)

Hi Everyone. Well, buying is work but fun ~ but now our Apt in Bangkok is like a little Factory. Nicha in her office makes tons of beaded Jewellery, me in the lounge on the endless task of processing all the other Jewellery. We bought so much ! Usually I'm OCD on prices as I buy, but this time I pretty much just chose what I liked. Following the Heart usually works out well, especially when you brought that spare credit card . . . . . Stunning Azurite/Malcahite/Chrysocolla from a new source ~ the Morenci Mine in USA. More Tourmalines ~ yes, Watermelon, also some fabulous vibrant Rubellite ...

Another equally ancient symbol is the Sri Yantra whose interlocking triangles represent the Union of Masculine and Feminine, God and Goddess. Also primal forces of creation. Wearing this can help your own inner Union and prom...

Rubies and Sapphires

                                      RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES At Crystal Heart we always prefer big stones - and that's been a problem with Sapphires and Rubies for example. Sure we've maintained stock of Matrix Stones but these aren't gem quality. Until this trip !!! We now have Gemmy Rubies and Sapphires - large sizes and affordable prices. These come from a mine outside Chantaburi, Thailand ( same area as Bridge over River Kwai ) where they've been mined for centuries. The Ruby had run out, but more has been discovered. They all have translucence to varying degrees. The colour is lovely and...

Back from Buying Trip

Well Sorry all but it's been such a long time between posts. But the shop has been very busy, which is good, though in the end I was really hanging out to get away to the Bangkok Gem Show !  It was a very good trip. Even though I arrived exhausted, hobbling round like an old man :-) but it's a perpetual source of amazement to me that once I start viewing beautiful crystals and gemstones my energy always returns ! Talk about 6 degrees of seperation though. I was chatting with my new favourite supplier who has a really good eye for stones and I happened to mention that my love affair with cry...
