Hi Dede,

    When you use the words "really inexpensive", do you mean you intend
    to place low-quality materials into your jewelry pieces, or that
    you're starting out and don't have the budget for top-dollar items?
    If you're seeking exquisitely-cut, calibrated gems that are priced
    within reach, I may be able to help out: at the moment, I have quite
    a selection of calibrated 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 and 5mm rounds, squares and
    square cushions in Iolite, Peridot, Rhodolite and Aquamarine on
    hand, all at extremely low prices. I also have a few matched pairs
    left, of step-cut pavailion Rhodolite rectangles with
    "pineapple"(checkerboard-cut) crowns available for about $12/ct, if
    you're seeking inexpensive 'flash' for earrings. Last, but not
    least, if you'd prefer to work with goods that are even less
    expensive, I have access to substantial inventories of Amethyst, 
    Citrine, Peridot, Rhodolite and Iolite melee and calibrated goods,
    many for less than $10/ct, which have all been cut from very nice
    roughs, albeit by overseas craftsmen. Feel free to contact me,
    off-list, if you'd like more info; (try the phone number first,
    since I rarely check emails before 10pm). The only caveat I offer is
    that, if you're in a hurry to find these, you'll need to contact me
    fairly soon, since my wedding and honeymoon are just around the
    corner. I'll be out of the office from 7/24 until 8/15, so if you'd
    like to touch base, please do so before then. (Hope this helps) 


All my best,

Douglas Turet, GJ
