Commissioned Necklace for the client’s daughter’s 21st Birthday. She had just returned from England where she was visiting her fiance. Matching bracelet was also made.
We also have just returned from North Carolina and Tennessee where we mined for gemstones. Very disappointed with the fee mines in Franklin, NC. Small return for the investment. Mason Mine 16 carats of very, very small rubies that can not even be cabbed; cost $60 to enter the mine. Then Cowee Valley Gem Mine — 160 carats of small rubies; cost $35. We then went to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where on Saturday we got to watch the Little Pigeon River flood the parking garage at our motel. However, Pigeon Forge Gem Mine 350 carats of rubies and pounds of other rough for $75. Had a great little vacation.
