The TOAE was fantastic. I didn't sell as much as I would have liked, but seeing all the other exhibitors made it totally worth the trip. My hubby and I had an awesome time and will participate next year (if I get accepted!!).

Hi Gail! I am finally taking some tentative steps into the jewellery making biz. Not sure what will come of it but I'm determined to try something this year! Hope all's well with you, take care.

Gail,
I looked at the images of your jewelry.
I really like the variety.
You obviously like to experiment with different things. And that is a good thing.
If you need anything at all please let me know. I do custom cutting to fit your design as well as standard gem cuts.

Best,

Boris

Hi Gail. I am so glad I found this place, it is just what I need and how wonderful you found me.
Jewelery goes very slowly but surely. It's hard to believe but I finally got a torch. I am so excited about the abyss of creative possibility... I'm rather aw struck at the moment. Congratulations on your award what a great achievement!
