Happy Anniversary Month!

I cannot believe I have been bringing you “Mine Finds” on HSN for 14 years!  I have to thank each and every one of you for making my job so much fun!

This month is extra special for lots and lots of reason.  We will be presenting the infamous Jay King Sculptured Bowl this month.  I am so excited for you to receive your bowl.  Please make sure to tune in and watch the show, so that you can see the footage of the artisans making the bowls – these are a “true” labor of love.

Examining the Bowls with the artisan

We have several new “Mine Finds” that we are presenting in our October Show.  I have had a lot of requests for extra information on where the stones come from and I am going to share that information with you here – so you will have it for your reference.

Mined in the USA:

    Idaho Marble – This material is Black and white marble, which is a high quality dense form of limestone.  Limestone under extreme pressure and metamorphic changes creates marble.  This material comes from a location above the Salmon River in Idaho.

    Strawberry Onyx
    – This was brought to us from one of our favorite “rock hounds” who searches the southwest for unique and different minerals.  He has been trekking for over 40 years and knew that he had found something special – when he stumbled upon this onyx.  This stone is from one large boulder weighing over 500 pounds.

    One of our favorite Rock Hounds

    Gecko- This material was found in the area of Lake Havasu, Arizona – the miner pulled over on the side of the road for a quick “pit stop” and discovered the stone sticking up out of the ground.  He quickly ran back to his truck for a shovel and a pick and the rest is history.

    White Snake Skin Jasper
    - This stone was discovered in an area in North Western Arizona that is known for its wild burro’s. The burro’s where very curious and helpful when the miner was mining this material.  This material is named for its beautiful white and tan appearance.

Mined in South Africa:

    Saturn – is mined in the Southern tip of Africa.  South Africa is rich in mineral resources.  Saturn is a kind of natural jasper.  Jasper is opaque, fine grained or dense variety of silica mineral chert.  It has a dull luster, but takes a fine polish.  I have always felt like jaspers are “mother nature’s” paint brush, because we get so many color and pattern variations.  Jasper is a wonderful stone to work with and I always welcome a new color palette or pattern when a miner brings it to us to design with. 

     

Mined in Brazil:

    Blooming Agate:  This material is mined in the east and south western part of Brazil in the state of Minas Gerais.  Miners discovered the Blooming Agate when they are mining iron ore. 

     

Mined in China:

    Rainbow Stone:  This material is mined in Liaoning which is located in North Eastern China.  Liaoning is known for its many fossils. Rainbow was found when explorers where looking for fossils.  There is no large scale mining of this material – only 3-5 people at a time mine this material and they carry out by hand what they mine daily.

    Mongolian Copper Mountain:  This material is mined in Inner Mongolia.  This mine is located near a copper mine in a mountainous region, thereby giving this stone its name.

     

I have just returned from what is becoming an annual trip to Europe.  I will share many new design inspirations I had while on my trip over the upcoming months.  One of my favorite things about visiting Europe is the amount of history – I can never get enough of it.

As you can tell we have pulled out all of the stops for our 14th anniversary show.  You will not even believe the Today’s Special we have planned for you!  Please tune on October 3rd, 4th and 5th.  Take care and safe travels.  J

Suzi, TX
We are now making stand alone enhancers.  Please keep watching.  J

Alunite question
You’re correct on Alunite.  We do enhance the color in this case.  I’ve seen it in purple once before though.  I buy carnelian all the time.  When I can get the natural color I want then I get it.  Unfortunately this is not always the case.  So you just have to watch.  Thanks for your support.  J

June, PA
Thanks for your support.  I hope you know our viewers are the most important thing to us.  We will always do our best to make you happy, and keep you shopping with us.  I’ll tell Debra your comment.  J

Dear Jay, HELP!!!! I've missed out on the 3-row Sodalite Necklace that aired on HSN back in October, 2008. Believe it or not, I've searched every web site imaginable but no luck. Also, the turquoise Cleopatra necklace (came in green & blue turquoise). Please tell me you'll bring these back to HSN. Congratulations on your turquoise bowls. I would have loved to purchase one, but the HSN phone agents must have claimed them before any loyal customers (like me) could purchase one.

Hi Jay- I ordered a red coral and bronze colored freshwater pearl, 3 strand necklace with matching earrings about 2 years ago. Well I finally lost an earring. Is there any way I can place an order for a replacement earring? I have checked periodically on HSN to see if there was something similar that you made that would coordinate with my necklace. I really enjoy wearing it and it's very comfortable. Thanks much, tj.

Hello, Jay! I am very excited because the turquoise and tiger's eye earrings I wanted so much are adorning my ears. I love these earrings. I was so pleased to be able to order them that I celebrated by ordering another pair, your porcelain jasper barrel-shaped ones. Keep making your gorgeous earrings and I'll keep buying them. I'll be watching the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Hi Jay, Just wanted to say how much I love your jewelry! Unfortunately, not so sure about HSN and their web sales. I missed out on the lapis flower design necklace a few weeks back, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw it while scrolling through your jewelry. The unfortunate bit is that when I clicked on the necklace it popped up as being sold out and almost sold out.I called customer service who promptly told me that I should have typed in the item #. Will u be bringing this design back?

Hi Jay. I have wanted to purchase your beautiful Petrified Cypress Wood Pendant with Beaded Necklace only to be very disappointed twice! I have purchased eight other of your brand name necklaces this past year, and I absolutely love them. I would also love to own this piece. Will you be able to have more of these Petrified Cypress Wood Pendants with the Beaded Necklaces available again? If so, when would these be available again? I would really appreciate hearing from you soon! Have fun,

Jay, I purchased the gorgeous lapiz necklace from your trunk show earlier in the month. Will there be coordinating pieces that will come out? I'm particularly interested in a bracelet. Thanks for your understanding of our disappointment on the bowls! I'm holding my breath that I can get a smaller one in your November show.

I've bought many pieces of yours and love to listen to your stories even if I do not purchase. I like to hear about Idar-Oberstein as my husband stayed there for 6 months and the kids and I stayed for 2 months (1987). My prized lapis ring is from there. This last September, on our trip to see our exchange students (now married w/families)in the Black Forest area, we connected with our friends at the same hotel as in 1987 and caught up. Keep making GREAT finds.

Jay: I also have many of your jewelry items; however, I just found out that there's no way to get something repaired. I have a necklace that I have worn twice and it has broken. I now have to take it to a jewelry store to have it repaired and it will probably have to be restrung at some expense. I have purchased my last piece of Jay King jewelry.

craig, GA 10/27/2009
Jay how about designing a blue lapis disk neclace for some of us out here. Suposedly to indian ledgend it helps to give you mystic serenity and creativity. Plus it's a gorgeous stone. Do you see any of them coming up in the near future...like around holidays? That would be so great and I think a big seller for you. I bought several of the blue and green turquoise for friends and myself...the loved them all. This would be a special high lite to the rest of the disk collection. It's a very unisex

Dear Jay, I was researching alunite and found out that it's colors are generally white, yellow and red. Where does the purple color come from? I am interested in your alunite set however, are the stone(s) is color enhanced? Please clarify. I really enjoy your gallery pieces, is this set considered a gallery piece(s). Also will there be a sale on these pieces in the near future? Will you be selling any carnelian that is not color enhanced? Happy Anniversary!!! Thanks-MND

Saw your show today & ordered the turquoise (green & blue) onyx & pearl 3 strand necklace. Would it be possible for you to make enhancers in the future to match some of the strand necklaces without a pendant. Would love to have enhancers to mix & match. Thank you and keep on making your beautiful jewelry. Can't wait until the next show!

I have found your jewelry of natural stones to be very precious, beautiful, as well as very durable. I wasn't planning on making a collection of your pieces, but I really love the pieces I have recently purchased. I have five (5) different pieces of your very fine natural stone necklaces in my collection. I am on a Waiting List for another gorgious piece. You, Jay, definitely have a God-given talent of creating jewery using God's own beautiful creations found in the earth.

Could a further description of the stones be included on the receipt? I have several of your necklaces and some of them have a variety of stones , which I dont remember what they are. I would love to have a turquoise bowl. Please put me on your list. I look forward to all of your shows. Good job well done.

Hi Jay, I LOVE the TSV amethyst necklaces but was wondering if you have any rough to make a 3 strand bracelet to match. I would love one with a silver toggle clasp. I have both of the bracelets with the silver magnetic clasp and love them but I know others say they have problems. I find that if I wipe off the magnets with a soft cloth each time and am sure they are closed correctly I can wear them all day at work with no problem. Thanks for the beautiful pieces.

Finally broke down & ordered 3 of your pieces. They are as beautiful as you claim & I am very happy with them. However, I am disappointed that there was no written information regarding type of stone, coutry/site of find, rarity, treatment, if any, etc. Is my lapis really from Afganistan or Brooklyn, NY? I am sure you get the point. Except for the invoice description, I have 3 beautiful pieces of mystery stones. Please comment.

I know HSN posts an address we can write to but I would really like to send it back to you and have it fixed by you all. How can I do that and how can I know in advance what the cost of doing that would be so I could send you payment for that service.

Jay, I love your jewelry and have many pieces. I particularly enjoy when you make a necklace 20 inches or more, thank you. I have one request. I always like to purchase necklaces and earring together. However, the earrings that are made with a french hook wire are soooo thin, the weight of the gemstone pulls my ear and is painful. It almost feels like it's going to rip my ear!. Can't the weight of the silver be a little more, so the wire has more thickness? Please.

Happy Anniversary Jay et al! Hooray-bowls are made in the USA! Boo-couldn't get one. So, is there going to be a list where we can sign up for the next version? I'm in if so. I love all my JK pieces but it seems lately you may have hired some extraordinary designers because the creativity and energy that are coming from the newer items are fabulous. Suggestion: on the web site: colocate all matching pieces(sometimes have to search for them). Also, #375-365-chance of any matching pieces?)Thx Jay.

I would love to get my hands on one of those. I would also love to know where in AZ the bowls are made.

Love your line.- One suggestion.- Is there any way to improve the bail in your charms? most of them are a plain triangle that look kind of flimsy and out of place for the bold and beautiful stones. Try to work on some interesting enhancers with heavy twisted wires and different styles. I am sure everyone will be willing to pay a little extra for them. Maggie.- So. Florida

Just wanted to wish you a Happy 14! Loved your anniversary show and the TS. I was one of the lucky ones to get the bowl and it is outstanding!! I am thrilled with it and look forward to seeing what else you will come up with. One question: Will you be making any new pendants for the magnetic necklaces? I thought it might be nice to have an inlay pendant with the colors of the various necklaces you have already made. Just an idea. Thanks for all your hard work - it is much appreciated.

I have hundreds of pieces of Jay's jewelry--get compliments every time I wear his things. I'm glad you've started making some stand-alone items, i.e., black agate earrings and turquoise rings. I would like to suggest that you make some more stand-alone, bold rings, i.e., black agate and/or carnelian. You are using a lot of these gemstones in your collections and these would be a great start to give us rings to match back to things we already have. Love your jewelry!

My mother is recuperating from a stroke and I was thrilled when she told me she didn't want to miss you latest show! So, we watched EVERY minute from her bed and ordered our treasures. HOWEVER, we missed a bracelet that now I think we may have hallucinated, but I told Mom I'd try. It was a very wide silver cuff and nearly the entire top was covered with turquoise in a basketweave design. Years ago we bought your turquoise rings with the same design.

Hi Jay: Wonderful Anniversary Show. I purchased many of your new pieces. One of my pieces that is now SOLD OUT was the pink Rhodonite and Black Agate Necklace. It is missing your trademark chain with heart at the closure. I do not want to return as there is not a replacement available. Is it possible to receive the chain w/heart and I will have my local jeweler attach. I also tried to get on a waiting list for the bowls in case one was returned with no luck

I did not get a bowl, but I still considerate myself very lucky. I was able to get 5 beautiful pieces from from Jay King's anniversary collection. I would like to know if Mr. King would have the bowls in turquoise and also in lapis on his next show? What size would they be? Count on me to place an order for 4 bowls for Christmas. I still BELIEVE in Santa. Keep up bringing does gorgeous pieces I would continue buying.

Hello, Jay! I am addicted to your fabulous linear earrings and have many pairs. I wanted to order the turquoise and tiger's eye pair(#525-246); sadly, I missed out on it. Is there any chance that you may have more in the future? What a classy look they have. Anything that includes blue turquoise, as do these, catches my eye every time. I hope to see these beauties adorning my ears soon.

MAJOR congrats on YOUR 14th anniv.(!), which also happened to be MY 14th anniv. with YOU (as a customer and always-grateful collector). I'll always remember your very first shows... :-D I am one of THE BLESSED 100, and THE BOWL arrived today. It is a gift from my beloved DH--who, of course, KNOWS I collect turq. and graduated from HS in Scottsdale, AZ. Even HE wanted this incredible piece for us and ours to enjoy (and pass on, of course). Jay, I thank & thank you, and, I THANK YOU again!

During your show this past weekend I enjoyed adding to my ever growing collection of your beautiful jewelry.Unfortunately, I had to DVR some of the last show. When I was able to view it, I saw the perfect pair of black agate and turquoise earrings(item#525-141)that would match many of your pieces I already own. Imagine my disappointment when I tried to order and was told they were sold out!Are there any available in your stores or thru another source? Help! I would really like to get them.Thanks

I too thought I was one of the lucky ones to have successfully ordered the beautiful bowl only to have HSN sneakily cancel my order a few days later. Jay I don't blame you, I understand how labor intensive this creation process is and that a limited number were available. I am very angry at HSN, and the way they handled this situation. HSN should be offering something to us if they are at all concerned about keeping their valued customers. Afterall, there are lots of other places to shop!

Denise, IL 10/08/2009
Jay I have been watching you for years. But I can't understand that if you can make dangling earrings for pierced ears, why you can't make earrings for non-pierced. It is so frustrating to get a great and one of a kind necklace and then try to match it to something in the marketplace. It's just not the same. So I have not brought anything new because I just don't want to wear plain silver or gold earrings. And not just button earrings but dangle earrings that looks great with long hair.

Happy Anv. Jay, I love your large polished bead necklaces the most. I got a green turq. one a couple years ago, and even a flight attendant wanted it!! I told her where to buy one. I got the turq. three strand bracelet in green, two of them, and both broke at the clasp. The wire is too short for me to repair. It is too late to return to HSN, and I have kept both, but can't wear either. Please advise me on this!! Thank you.

Jay, happy anniversary! Your jewelry is exquisite and I am running out of space to keep it all, but that has not stopped me from ordering more during your last visit. My request to you is about all your new earrings--if they are post backs, I cannot wear them mainly because I can't hold the back piece that goes on the post. They are very small and my fingers are too big to get them on. I end up dropping them and then get frustrated and give up. Can you do omega backs instead?

More bowls! More bowls! More bowls!!! I have been obsessed with getting a turquoise bowl ever since I saw one (not in my price range) at a store in Sante Fe. I was thrilled when I heard you would be doing one for your October show, not so thrilled when they sold out in between the times I kept checking the website. But was thrilled again when I heard you say you would make sure that everyone who wanted one would have a chance to get one in the future. Count me as one more!!!

Will you be bringing more of these in to HSN? I hope so. They make a great stand alone piece of jewelery.

I also love amber, and collect it. I have so many of your pieces, and love them all. I love extenders also to fit on all your necklaces. Thank you again.

Hello, Mr. King. Tried to speak with you this evening regarding the fabulous amber/ turquoise necklace like you asked, but you were out of time so decided to blog. Talk about an exquisite high end piece! Nothing else like it in 35 million years! No, seriously, a real attention getter. Worth the extra dollars. I have many of your pieces and I love each and every one. You are so entertaining; your real-life stories take us away - we all need a little adventure. Thank you for that, too!

Hi Jay: I purchased the Maanshan set consisting of a necklace with a rectangle pendant,cuff and ring but the earrings were sold out. I need the pierced rectangle earrings to complete my beautiful set. Is there enough material to have a earring set made for me? I would truly appreciate it. I counted my black boxes of jewelry today and I have 30 boxes of your beautiful jewelry. I have my own personal treasure chest of jewelry which I just love. Keep bringing us your lovely sets.

In any case, I want to tell you how extraordinary I believe your jewelry to be. I have purchased other lines and I must say they do not hold a candle to yours! I just received my tiger's eye multi-color necklace (#461-994) and the earrings (#406-599) and I could not be more pleased. I am a customer for life! Thank-you!

Hi Jay, Happy Anniversary! I have two questions regarding the bowls. When you talk about them on the shows you typically say they are made in Scottsdale, yet the website says they are made in China. Which is it? I don't think there is a Scottsdale in China. Also, regarding the blue bowl on your table (is it lapis?), do you ever intend to make and sell them too? I'm very happy to have been lucky enough to order the turquoise one, but now you have whetted my appetite for more. Thanks.

If you do a waitlist, I would like to be on it! Thanks for your many great designs and interesting stories. Look forward to many more.

i wanted a bowl as well - and was also interested in finding out how much it would cost. i have been checking every day and don't have the info on either. even if it is sold out - if it was on line it should still be on line as sold out so we could get all the information. shame on you hsn

I was also waiting patiently to purchase the bowl. I heard you say on TV tonight that you were going to be making more. Hopefully we all will be able to purchase them. No fair discussing and showing in your previous shows. I love your Mine Finds, but am also a disappointed customer.

Hello Jay: Last October I bought 2 of your amethyst necklaces. One was a 2 strand with a beautiful turquoise and purple abalone shell enhancer. The other was a 3 strand amethyst necklace. I wanted the 3 strand necklace but wanted the abalone shell enhancer on the other necklace. I couldn't, at the time, afford both so I had to send the 2 strand back with the abalone shell. Please, please, please offer that abalone shell enhancer again by itself to go with my necklace.

Mr. King - You are such a fascinating man. I admire your passion for what you do. As an employee of MSHA I understand how dangerous mining can be. Anyway, I would love to have a turquoise band that my husband and I can wear as wedding rings. Hope thats something you could possibly do. Take care

Happy 14th Anniversary, Jay! I have purchased a few of your beautiful Agate and Gemstone Beaded Necklaces recently. I really love them! The colors are so-o-o-o gorgious---earth-tone, and these pieces are not so overbearing, yet they are a nice size to definitely be noticed, and they really complete any coordinated outfit. I wish you well in all of your future endeavors for many, many years to come! Be safe.

This is the third time I have submitted my comment about trying to get the turquoise bowl, and my comment has not been put on. I don't know why mine is being past by??? I have bought a lot of things from HSN for years and I don't normally write reviews, but about the bowl I would like to be heard. I think it was very unfair how this was handled. I have been checking the site all week and on Friday it was gone. NO NOTICE NO NOTHING

I am so disappointed!! I have been checking the website daily and had planned my entire weekend around all of your shows, so that I could see and hopefully get a turquoise bowl. However, I woke up today to find that HSN had made the VERY POOR DECISTION (IMO) to list them overnight and now they are long gone. I don't know what's going on at HSN that they would make the decision to do something like this?? I too was looking forward to seeing the footage of how they were made...

Nancy, PA 10/03/2009
As I have been watching Jay for many years, and might I add, buying many pieces from him, I was very upset because of the way the bowls were presented. THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ON LINE. They should have been on his first tv appearance on a first come, first served basis. Did it ever occur to you people that not everyone has a computer. I have a computer and am somewhat savvy as to its operation. Dissapointed as in love. Is there any way I can pre-order one of any size?

What in the world is HSN doing? I've been checking the website for at least a week. Why did HSN ever put the turquoise bowls on line before your first visit on October 3rd? I was born in December and really wanted my birthstone in one of your bowls. I can't put into words how disappointed I am with HSN to pull such a stunt. Will you ever bring in a smaller version? I don't need a big one to enjoy the beauty of a bowl. Please let me know how I can ever get one? You're the greatest!! HSN

Love your jewelry,only wear natural stones. I've looked 6+ yrs for a black choker, not too shiny-single/cpl strands, or crocheted-&found nothing. Could you could create one? Great by itself, or layered w/ any of the longer necklaces popular now, it'd fill a void in the market.

Sher, CA 10/03/2009
HSN routinely posts items online at least a day before they air. And surely everyone who was looking forward to buying a bowl knew there would only be 100. So while I understand the disappointment expressed in some of these comments, I don't understand the anger. Jay, thanks for bringing the bowls. If you can bring more in the future, that would be great. Happy anniversary!

very disappointed! I checked last night at 11pm and there was nothing posted about the bowls. at 7am they were gone. I didn't even get to learn anything about them at all, I can only see the picture in this blog and from what I remember from Jay's August show. bad decision whomever decide to put them on line and sell overnight. Jay, I LOVE ALL your pieces. happy anniversary!!!!

Good Morning Jay, I live in the Midwest and I saw the much requested bowls online early Friday morning. For me, they were a tad out of my price range. However, I am hoping to see a smaller version, in which case, I could be quite interested! Thank-you!

Happy Anniversary, Jay! Thank you for the incredible jewelry over these many years. I couldn't believe it tonight when I was reading your blog and I discovered that your bowls were already sold out! When I looked at the site 24 hours ago, they weren't there with the jewelry. I got the impression that the bowls wouldn't be available until the first show in October. What a disappointment! Will there be another opportunity to buy a bowl? I wish I had known the rules of the game.

Happy Anniversay Jay! I came home from lunch today and am very lucky to have secured one - really didn't think I stood a chance. I REALLY wanted one for my Turquoise Display at our Cheyenne Gem and Mineral Show, so I am happy I will be able to now share it with the public too. No matter what method was chosen, those who didn't have the luck of getting one would naturally be disappointed; sorry for those who didn't get one, but I'm sure Jay will bring in more following this overwhelming demand!

It would have been really nice if your loyal fans who have been purchasing your products for years and years could have gotten first dibs at the turquoise bowls.

Can you hear me screaming?? Happy Anniversary!!

Jay, I've also been patiently waiting for the turquoise bowls that were to be made available at the October show. Now the website shows that they have been sold out. Is there any way that your potential customers, myself and the others with comments before me, can be placed on a waiting list to receive future bowls?

Like virtually everyone else here, I am terribly disappointed about not getting a turquoise bowl...I've been checking the blog daily, and even going through the list of your merchandise each and every day. I even made a schedule of your visits this weekend so that I wouldn't miss one. Tonight when I got home (a full 12 hours before your first show), the bowls are on the website---and already gone. Bummed Jay.

Jay: I have been waiting for your turquoise bowls to be available for a long time. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED that HSN chose to put them on line before you gave all of your customers a chance to see them. That is certainly unfair to people who have been so faithful to you. I called Customer Service many times today and they said they did not have it available as yet. Then, it was sold out. ABSOLUTELY NOT FAIR!!! I think I will re-evaluate my commitment as a customer.

Jay , I am very upset I did not get a bowl my aunt & I watch your shows everytime you are on .We were so excited that you were bringing these bowls and that they were going to be shown on air for your October visit. I have been checking the internet everyday to see if they would come on and low and behold sometime today while I was busy working they put them on the internet. I feel this is very dirty of hsn to do .They never should have placed them on the net till after they were on air .

I am so upset the bowls were gone before the showed aired. I have been watching and waiting for the bowl for many months. It was made clear there would not be preorders and look what happened. Just seems to me there should have been a better process for getting one of the bowls. If a better system isn't developed for such a short supply item - you will lose me as a faithful customer.

I was one of the lucky ones who spotted your bowls today and grabbed it. It was pricey but I'm going to put it in my china cabinet with your turquoise necklaces draping out of it.beautiful! This is my Christmas present to myself! Are you going to make the smaller ones for December? I hope, I hope-will be watching ALL your shows this weekend! Someday, tell us what part of the jewelry process is done in the US and what is done in China...Love it all!

I have been waiting to get a chance to get one of the bowls you promised since March. You stated it would be during your October shows. I read in the blog that they were here and gone before your show was even scheduled to air. I honestly am upset at this. I think advanced orders should be offered to be filled in the months ahead. I don't mind waiting longer but truly upset at what I have found out.

Jay, I'm so disappointed that your bowls sold out BEFORE your October 3rd visit. I've been checking EVERYDAY for over a week and low and behold, I check today and it's gone. What is wrong with HSN to put it on the website BEFORE your actual visit? I knew they would be in limited supply, however, this is just wrong. Unless you live on the east coast you didn't have a chance to order. Maybe you should take pre-orders and fill them in the order they are ordered. I know I'm not the only one u

I missed out on your turquoise bowl, Jay, and I'm so disappointed. Only 1:40 in California and it's gone. Been looking forward to it. It's so beautiful, and larger than I expected. How am I going to get one? Do you have any pointers? When will you repeat it? By the way, I love your visits, and and I can't tell you how many of your pieces I have. I enjoy your stories very much.

Hi, Jay -- Here's to more than 14 more years!! Have really enjoyed pieces of yours. From Coral (red, orange and gold) to all kinds of Turq to Pink Calcite, Cuprite, Pearls and more. I want clip earrings, though, Jay. You have to take care of us :) I just got a bowl (FABULOUS). Are you bringing smaller ones in November? You know you are creating some monsters with this, right? Keep all these goodies coming, Jay!! Love, love, love them all. RD
