Could very well be the case. Prices seem to be on the upward trend though for many gems in general. Diamonds seem to have lost their stranglehold and many people are branching out into the wide world of colored gem, driving up demand and with it prices.
@alexfodor,@@Jackaroo. everything is priced up. Most material has already been extracted and processed prior to our current inflationary period. Show attendance is down, dealers are trying to recoup their losses against unmet projected earnings.
Colored gems are up in general, while diamonds have gone down, independent of this show. Inflation is certainly a factor for the price increase, but colored gems have grown in popularity in the recent years. I'm a jeweler, and I've been getting more requests for sapphire engagement rings than diamond engagement rings recently.@@spritelysprite
I love me that golden hills. But be warned Dave. You will loose a lot of matrix when cabbing. Hence why you see people selling sliced pairs. Hard tough stone so you’re good to cab. Cheers mate ✌️
Such a great video. Thank you so much for putting this out. I’m kind a new with us watching you all and love stones and gems. I have quite a few just for personal use. But there are terminologies that you use, which I wish you could like type it up and then take a screenshot put it up so we know what you mean about some things. Lots of terminologies that I don’t know.
Crap Dave Im sorry I missed this. Gonna watch now. Im going to become a member so I get in on the good good slab auctions etc. Have an iphone & youtube hates those lol. Im determined & see you next time my bruv. Hi to Sprite. Love you guys🫶🏼✨cape gurls❤u!!
Hey Dave! I followed you for a while 2022 I think it was I think I saw you at the show and wanted to say hi but didn’t get the chance 😂 I’ve gone every year since would love to meet you in person this year if your going!
Love this video. I have a question, I make wire jewelry on Etsy and would like to know if that’s eligible for wholesale? And if so, what I would have to do to apply.
Since I’m a Vegas girl I’m wondering what the heck you were talking about at the end there that I have been missing out on- naked jewelry modeling?! Certainly they forgot to call me or lost my number 😅 Loved the video Dave and friends, was dying to know the prices of the beads you were looking at 🩵
Following since long. My daughter (SONALI FRANKE) has booth ZEOLITES INDIA INC. at RED LION INN, office #10 next to lobby and OPAL lady's video that you shot. I have sent her Persian Turquoise various jewelry items. CAN YOU GUIDE HER IF QUALITY AND PRICES ARE RIGHT? ALL CABOCHONS ARE POLISHED ALL OVER 360 degree. Many are both sided cabochons which I have made in to focal cab and turned them into necklaces. Please see the products and guide her.
Hi Dave, can you tell me what opal is like at 49minute of the vidéo, where do they come from? and if you have an Instagram or website link where they sell them, can you send it to me? Thank for this vidéo
@@the1dud firstly, no need to call me Sir, as I have not been dubbed a knight by Queen Libby, nor her progeny King Chuckie… Next, I agree with Canadian Gemstones that you would be more likely to find a ton of meteorites than ANYTHING lunar … Please forgive me for my being amused by your comments, especially the bit about lunar geology, but honestly, there is no way on Earth to verify that a basalt rock at Tucson Gem Show once inhabited the moon. And no, Japan did not just land a rover there, nor has any other nation for that matter…
