More London Blue Topaz!

Master faceter Bill Booze continues to send us more London Blue Topaz, since more and more of you are taking it home with you!  The mesmerizing teal color of this stone is very appealing.  Bill's masterful faceting skills, honed for over 25 years, can be seen in the extra facets beneath the stone, resulting in quite dazzling sparkle.

Since he chooses only the most amazing stones to begin with, the results after he's done faceting can only be described as amazing.

Bill's work can best be described as contemporary heirlooms, and will certainly be passed along to the next generation as a prized piece of beloved jewelry.  The settings are simple, elegant and timeless.  The craftsmanship is among the best there is.

Here are the newest additions to us here at MaJe Gallery:

In Love with London Blue Topaz

There must be something in the air, because we've been selling lots of London Blue Topaz lately.  Perhaps it's the rich teal hue of that particular topaz.  Perhaps it's the imminent arrival of spring that has us all seeking out more blue.  Whatever the case, it's clear we are in love with it!

So, in case you can't make it in to the gallery, we thought we'd offer a chance for you to purchase them online so you can fall in love too!  Free shipping!

All the gemstones here are the results of over 30 years of honing his skills as a master gem faceter.  Yes, I'm talking about Bill Booze.  First he selects the finest rough gems available.  Then he applies his magic of faceting to bring out the richest hues and most sparkly reflections available today.

All the settings are sterling silver.  If it's a ring, Bill will re-size it up or down one full size for free!
