| Many of you will be pleased to hear that we are now offering a USPS First Class post option on all orders. This is a flat rate $3.50 and is trackable. We are trialling this in the first instance, and we will likely contact any customers placing particularly large orders, to discuss insurance or shipping upgrades
We now have two Etsy shops! JoopyGemsAmerica is the new name for our USA Etsy shop and we now have a new JoopyGemsHongKong one too, which ships from Hong Kong. The main reasons for this are technical and tedious and it was something that we had to do, but we think it will give our customers even more options. |

| | People have been absolutely baying for this! As those of you who have been shopping with me for a while know, the good rainbow moonstone is becoming increasingly scarce and the price of this does nothing but steadily increase. This is AA grade and it comes up pretty clean, with great flash. It won't hang around so if you want it, grab it! | | |

| These are absolutely beautiful 6x4mm rose cut garnet pears. You remember that bit in Snow White, where the queen pricks her finger and a tiny drop of blood falls on her sewing? That's what these remind me of! Deep red droplets, stunning and eye-catching and a snip at $2.40 per stone! | |

It's a way of using turquoise in a surprising and new way. Now available in a new 6mm size. Price start at $3.05 for a 2mm stone, rising to $15.35 for a 6mm rose cut. | |

| Pantone have released their Spring 2018 color report; a palette of acid brights with softer blues, mauves and teals. They have also for the first time released a Classic Color Palette, dominated by navy and complemented by soft whites, grays and beiges, on the grounds that even classic and timeless colors wax and wane in terms of their popularity. JCK news have a piece on button, or stud earrings that caught my eye. Often overshadowed by their flashier dangly counterparts, these earrings are truly stunning. Right is an illustration of just how spectacular the humble citrine can look; these ones by Yoki Collections are complemented by pink sapphires and diamonds and set in gold. |
