"Hi Ed, got the sapphire today and it is lovely! I've decided to keep it so you can take it off "hold" status. No problem with the mailbox either because the mailman knocked on my door for a signature. It does look a different shade of blue from the picture though less greenish and more purplish, what type of light is the picture in? I like the actual shade just fine too and the energy is very good for the 6th chakra. And thanks for the loupe to look at the bubbles with - they are even more interesting magnified."

I had looked late last night when I got home from work but I was looking right at the door in the dark to see if FedEx had left a note that I should come and pick up my delivery. The package must have been tucked away in the corner even then. I opened it with great excitement, as you might imagine. I couldn't believe what I saw. My eyes grew wider and wider, perhaps bigger than the stone I was looking at. It sparkles beyond belief. The color is exactly what I wanted and the cut is beautiful.

"Edward, Many thanks for the Sapphire! It is a little wonder! I am wearing it with a piece of Oregon Sun stone that was carved by the miner from the southern part of ourstate. That stone has a story too, the miner usually competes with people that send raw material to China to be faceted, but he carves and cuts his finds and the stones just seem happier somehow... My little stone sparkles with orange and sunny colors.
They look lovely together. I will be more than happy to recommend your site to my friends and I hope to be able to afford another stone from you soon. Take care, and I wish you and your family the best,"

"The ring arrived today. Many thanks for all the thought and work that went into it. The spess is a perfect Fanta colour. And the assortment of sapphires just what I had expected. It is difficult to tell the colours of the whitish ones, since the spess seems to cast a colour on to the bottom of them thru the bottom of the ring. Very interesting effect indeed."

the sapphire was going to be--very impressive, and very Roman, as you say. And the garnet stuck on in a sort of weird way makes it clear that I just did not go to a shop and buy this ring. I have not looked at the two loose stones carefully yet, but when I do, I know that I will not be dissatisfied. You have a satisfied customer. Many thanks to your miners, you, and the craftsmen/women. Also, the supporting documentation will be a great help in keeping everything straight in my mind--after a few years have passed."

"Hello Edward, I am sooooooo excited with my "Queenly" bracelet!!! It is just perfect for me! It is so elegant, and yet substancial. I must praise you for the design and your expertise on the stone selection. When I look at this uniquely wonderful bracelet, the blue aquamarine stone will remind me to drink plenty of water and the strength and structure to help my weak bones. The green tourmalene is strong and will help me to concentrate on it's calming energy. The cherry red garnet reminds me of the blood in my veins, which will stimulate body function digestion and my inner biological processes. I just can't believe how perfect this bracelet fits my personality, my style and my hope for a healthier life. I must give the credit to you. You are exceptional and perceptive, with patience and warmth while you were working with my Dad and myself. You have touched our lives as I hope we have done the same for you. Again, thank you so very much, I will be spreading the "GOOD WORD" about you and your website!!
from this part of the world to yours,
P.S. When you complete your Hallmark, may I be allowed to put it on the clasp of my bracelet?

"I was so surprised yesterday when a car pulled up in front of my house with a special package for me. We don't normally get deliveries on Sunday so needless to say I was really surprised but like a kid sort of surprised and excited. I couldn't wait to open the package and struggled doing so. After finally getting through everything I saw this beautiful unique red box and was like a kid in a candy store anxious to open it.
The ring is beautiful. I love the design of the setting and the color of the stone is amazing. The eye is very mystical too. I showed it to my husband last night after all our company left and he was very impressed with it as well. Now the wait for Wednesday will be the next killer. I'm to place this ring on my finger on Wednesday and no sooner. More waiting and anticipation to come. Thank you so much for working with me and having such a beautiful stone and the quick delivery.
Best regards and God speed,"

I have been trying to decide which way to wear it all night, sapphire or "river of live" toward the pinky. The spinel is such a unique color, darker than expected, I have not seen a stone like it. I know it will become a family treasure, the setting is strong enough for my sons to wear as a pinky ring when they are grown, a nice way to connect with mommy energy!

Celine Paddet, Madrid:
"I am very pleased and positiv. The stones are mostly here within a week, the quality is fine, untreated sapphires I can see that well as a gemologist. My clients (I make jewelry) like them immediately and money is no topic. I will continue to recommend to buy from them, because I know we get natural stone from them without paying double and it also helps to know they do their job as good as possible. I tell my clients they can always get everything cheaper, but not better and then in the end somebody else has to suffer. What is the use in saving a few euro and not having a good feeling with it?"

Rene and Juliette Pardousan, France:
"We are completely happy with our wild fish gem. Excellent color and not a flaw. The internet is just great and of course the people in it. This stone comes from just the other side of the world. Bum! Like that. And in french: Nous sommes content. Et nous vos recommander sans problème. Que couleur! Merci."

Mr. & Mrs. Gallanger, Cambridge
"Dear Ed,
We are home in rainy Cambridge and want to thank you for showing us around and the thrilling stories we enjoyed and the wonderful stone of course. We took it to a jeweler last week and he was full of compliments. He will set it as planed in a ring. Hopefully it is ready in a few weeks. Again thanks and sorry our camera wouldn't make a photo.
We hope to meet you again and wish you and your wife all the best."

Caroline Zendenburg, Paris:
"Yep! You didn't promise too much, not too little. Not cheap though but untreated hot pink is hard to get. Lightly included - OK. Cut good - OK. Medium 65 - OK may be even 75 or so, really deep. Color excellent, yes. Transport, payment and so on all fine. I can recomend you guys but I personally am broke now, hahaha ... It is a dangerous hobby... a reliable adress in this sharkfishgemtrade."

Chris Zegers, New Yorck:
"It wasn't necessary to read the whole site (I did after I placed the first order) to know they were honest genuine people, offering the real thing.
Not only that unique tourmaline came to me but the other gems as well.
I'm glad I found WildFishGems."

Christine Frederick, San Diego:
"I wish I had found you guys earlier. I bought a lot of sh... this year and was even to lazy to complain, so take it as a true compliment that I write back at all. Your sapphire is good, however I will try and have it recut into princess as we discussed and I am positive it will have enough color. If I am not getting lazy again I will send you a pic of the recut... maybe :-) All the best to you."

A. M. Page, New Yorck:
"... indeed a beautiful stone, a beautiful color...
I write with the good (an obvious) news that we (Daria and I) have spent many a hour gazing into the pad you sent and have fully fallen in love with it and in fact have already had it set, thanks to Keith Farley, a new friend in the custom jewelry industry. His photos are attached.
I want to let you know again that I appreciate so much your efforts to get me the right stone. We really do love it, and I hope the attached photos attest that we have done it justice."

Natalia Pompeu, Australia:
"I had my 2.2 ct sapphire set right away, and it is soooo beautiful and well done, too. Solid. Thank you. I would have never gotten that locally, even if I paid double. No way. Of course I will recommend you. I was afraid of doing it on the web first, but hell, I pay by card in any restaurant and the guy disappears with the card in the back, so?"

"Mein erster Saphir Kauf auf dem Web. Ich glaube nicht, ich haette es besser machen koennen. Wenn uberhaupt, denn hier im Laden habe ich gar nichts passendes gefunden und von Edelsteinbehandlung hatte noch keiner was gehort, zumindest nicht glaubhaft. Vielen Dank. Ich werde ihn hier setzen lassen, aber vielleicht hatte ich das besser auch bei euch gemacht. Nachstes mal."
