Good Morning!!!

Cold here in Minnesota, too. Strong winds brought in quite a cold front. Not much snow, though, at least not in our county.

You do have nice jewelry. Frankly though your prices are out of line with what similar sells for on eBay. Plus you only have 2 feedback as a seller and only qualify for up to $200 of buyer protection under Paypal's warranty. I would advise you to start out selling items under $200 in value first until you can qualify for the higher tier of warranty. I would also advise you to check eBay completed auctions for similar items to see what those items sell for on eBay. Good luck to you.

Hi icon...pleased to meet you. You have some lovely jewellery.....x

Hello Stephen,
I thought your creations appear to be of very fine quality and even more reasonbly priced being custom work. Have a good one in Thailand! I was just there for 2 months in Sept/Oct.
I do get to Victoria occasionally will have to stop in your shop to take a look some day if you have a brick and mortar as well.
I enjoy networking with the folks on ebay that represent the higher end of the trade.

Kind Regards,
D Cooper GG

Thanks Gemcuts......look forward to you dropping by one day. I will be in Thailand for the month of January. Then I am home for three weeks and back to Thailand for 10 days for the Gem Show. Look forward to any and all comments . Thanks...and I am as busy as a crow in a saucer of milk here. I got up at 3am to have a coffee and get to work. I have casted two pieces of jewellery this morning and I have to finish the pieces and get them down to my diamond setter who will be doing some pave work on them. I must go!

7am and time to get my act together. I have casted everyday this week and my fingers are getting numb from filing. I just took in another job last night that will take me down to the wire. I am making two white gold/yellow gold bands with diamonds pave' set. There will be a 6X4 oval ruby in the center of one of the bands and the other will have a round ruby surrounded by diamonds. I hope to do the model today or tomorrow. It will be a two piece cast. I should have it put together and ready for my setter by Tuesday Dec 18th. I have been selling lots on my website www.stephenfortner.com I just sent off a really nice engagement ring to Alberta and another nice piece to Surrey on the mainland. I will give you all a progress report as the week moves along. Thanks for dropping by. Stephen.
