Clarity : Eye Clean
Colour : Y7
Size : 7 x 7 x 6 mm
Price : $220 AUD

Comments : A nice lightly coloured asscher cut citrine. This particular combination of colour, stone and cut is fast becoming a classic. The light tones show the "windmill" patterns that the asscher is famous for very nicely. The pics show more brown then what is actually in the gem which is very yellow and bright.

Item : #190
Design : All-Seeing Eye (John Bailey)
Origin : Brazil
Treatments : Heated
Weight : 10.7 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Colour : Y2
Size : 14 x 14 x 12.5 mm
Price : $640 AUD

Comments : This is one for the collectors. The design is based on the "All Seeing Eye" which is usually portrayed as an eye inside a triangle, often shown with radiating beams of light. I had a tough time trying to capture the eye effect but just couldn't seem to get it right. In one of the photos you can make out a darkish eye shape... the dark is due to reflection of the camera lens. In person it is fantastic with bright flashing rays of light around the eye. The design itself is quite a challenging one to cut and requires alot of patience and precision to get the eye and iris just right. A very different and unique gem.

Design : Honeycomb Cut
Origin : Brazil
Treatments : None
Weight : 6.88 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Colour : Y5
Size : 12 x 12 x 9 mm
Price : $360 AUD

Comments : This is a pretty groovey gemstone. The design is one of Fred Van Sant's original designs and is rarely seen cut. The design creates a honeycomb effect and suits the bright yellow golden colours of this citrine... afterall, when you think of fresh honeycomb what colour do you think of first? The pictures are more brown and caramel then the stone actually is... it is a bright and flashy yellow gold. I can see this stone as part of a matched suite : earrings, pendant and a ring.

Comments : I luv citrine! Its that golden colour that gets me. Anyone who says "Oh, its just quartz.", obviously hasn't seen a fine handcut citrine, especially one cut in this modern, flashy design. Each and every stone has its own beauty and personality and should be appreciated accordingly. This gem is a sweet little stunner and reminds me of a bubble-bee. :-)

Design : Rainbow (a barion oval style, Jeff Graham)
Origin : Brazil
Treatments : None
Weight : 5.1 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 13.5mm X 10mm X 7.5mm
Price : $220 AUD

Comments : A wonderful, golden citrine cut in an oval design with good body. It has a beautiful flashiness about it and it very alive and sparkly. The colours are a lovely golden yellow, not the lemon yellow or often overly saturated whiskey colour. It is a perfect size for a ring and would really show up well. The gemstone is eye clean with no visible flaws or inclusions. There is some colour zoning but the colours mix nicely and are not overly saturated when viewing the stone from the face up. The finish on this stone is superb and the polish is mirror like. A very pleasing gem.

See this gemstone being cut.

Weight : 7.47 carats
Clarity : Very Slightly Included
Size : 11.5mm X 10mm
Price : $270 AUD

Comments : This gemstone has a nice golden colour with a touch of smokey about it. There is good flash. As the name suggests it has a shape much like an acorn. It was designed as a ring stone and will require a custom seting made for it due to the depth and overall shape of the stone. There is a small feather veil inclusion.

Price : NOT FOR SALE

Comments : This unusually cut gemstone came about because I couldn't bring myself to grind away all that beautiful crystal I was cutting. When it came time to cut the crown there happened to be alot of nice clear stone remaining and I found myself relucant to cut it away. It was lovely clean, clear, golden citrine and the gemstone was telling me it wanted to be different to the design I was cutting. So what I did in keeping with the "5" sided nature of the design was to lengthen the girdle so that the rectangle facet was in the "phi" ratio, in this case 8mm X 5mm and thus managed to preserve the glorious crystal. This gem is one of my favourites and isn't for sale, only show. It has a significance for me in that it represented the first time that a stone really felt like it wanted to express itself and I had to make a conscious choice to let it be what it wanted to be or enforce what I wanted it to be. I'm happy to say that in the end the gemstone won.
