    Important to note up top: Jacques was out of town on a buying trip when this happened, so I can't…read moresay he has any clue about this situation. Short version is: I bought a "tsavorite" from Little Tibet after a couple initial test purchases all under $1k just to be sure they were legit. I come back the next days and suddenly my quest for emeralds has an alternative ready to roll: "a gorgeous tsavorite!" they say, "so much more rare than emerald" they say. I was new-ish at the time to the world of gems and unfamiliar with specifically what to look for to authenticate tsavorite. But I guess the thieves had too good of a story and I got excited and bought it. Here's the real punchline: I'm expert at gemology now and it's just a low quality glass fake. Easily spotted by anyone with more than a couple month of gemology expertise (unfortunately that wasn't me at the time, or I'd have saved myself $4500 bucks for a single unset gem). I spent the last year trying to get some response, before finally resorting to the lame approach of leaving a Yelp and Google review. In lieu of any response from the owners, I can only assume they scammed me *knowingly* - it's just so clearly glass when you know anything about gems, and these guys have been doing this stuff for decades vs. my relatively few years. I even took it to GIA world HQ here in Carlsbad, CA just to be 1000% sure my understanding was correct: it is green glass, it's something a novice gem seller would know just by looking through a loupe, and therefore there's not much jumping to conclusions to say "they knowingly sold me a fake and took $4500 for a piece of green glass". Embarrassing for my ego, but now that I have waited long enough to know they have no intention of doing right by me / refunding or even sending some items to make up for a mistake: it's gloves off time. Y'all get one week, otherwise I'm headed back to Maui with my attorneys in tow. That's it, you managed to get me pissed - and that's not a good place to be my friend. You don't want to mess with folks who drop $4500 on a lark - or anyone for that matter, but it's just stupid to not make it right or even return a phone call. You have my number, and if you "lost it", just respond here. Happy to work things out but the clock is ticking for one more week and that's it.

    Stunning selection of beautiful high quality silver ( mostly ) and gems such as moonstone ,…read moreturquoise and other stunning stones. The owner takes great care with her jewelry and it shows. Wish I'd budgeted to buy more!
