    With all the talk of the loose emeralds going around it made me
    wonder how synthetic, or man made gems are received by your
    customers?  Well proportioned and cut of course (no windowing,
    custom designs, etc). I find that you can cut a bigger gem, with
    excellent color and 'fire' at a smaller cost than using natural
    material (which, for larger stones is often sub-standard or extremely
    expensive). 

    Just wondering. 

Craig
