Glad to hear!
I think Morion sells faceted too. A few faceters still play with these in fancy custom cutting, and the stones are obviously, quite inexpensive. Can't believe how many take up cutting these days! It must be darn fun.. and who knows... maybe I'll need that extra hobby one day. Definitely understand the urge, that's for sure.
Just picked those two sites up because both companies make the case that their synthetics are better for the world then the mined counterparts. Interesting, although I'd much rather hear that sort of argument backed by some independent voice, or not at all. When they open factories in Cambodia or Madagascar or the like (i.e. to save the miners along with their land), I'll believe them.
Tried to find something similar about pearls (aside what was written here, that is) but couldn't. Instead
can you believe that any sane marketer would invoke high mortality rates among mollusks as a GOOD THING - an argument for RARITY! Now, ain't that stupid ... It's for real, but not giving a link here.
