The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Tanzanite Jewelry Designs My recent trip to Tanzania in May 2012 will prove to be the most important trip of my career. I have made friends with one of the mine owners in D block, considered to be the source of the finest tanzanites. At first look at his material I recognized the tri-croic colors that I used to see 15 years ago when large quantities of D block material was available. The most notable characteristic is the purity of the yellow portion of the tri-croism, no green at all which will give the finished gems a purer violet blue as when these are heat treated all of the yellow will disappear, whereas those with green in the tri-croism will retain traces of undesirable green in the finished heat treated gems. I am sure this new source will provide a steady supply of fine rough. When we combine fine material, and cut with the high quality we are capable of, you can expect gems that are superior to those available on other web sites. I am very excited about our future in tanzanite. 37 years of wholesaling gems, professional tanzanite gem cutting, and World travel is your guarantee that you will be satisfied with the tanzanite value in your purchase.

Most of our competition does not show you the gem you will receive and there are dramatic differences in all parcels of tanzanite. In the Item picture is section of our descriptions the item is either the actual item you will receive or the picture of the ring and the stone may vary, or it is a computer rendered design which is a new design and has yet to be manufactured, in which case the actual stone to be used is often shown. We feel it is very important that you see the stone you will receive as the ring is only the frame for a rare and unique tanzanite gemstone.
