It's envitable but a New Year brings with it the "what's in and what's out" list! Last year it seemed Tanzanite was "in" and now because its price has gone through the roof - it's out! However, take a cruise to Caribbean and visit the jewelry stores in St. Thomas and the Tanzanite is overflowing (they can't give it away)!

Could this be because the site holders who control the world's Tanzanite supply are now operating more like a cartel? Like Tanzanite - but don't like the price? Opt for Amethyst - it's inexpensive and you can find some gorgeous Amethyst right on eBay.

In any event, Tanzanite is out in our book until prices come back down to reasonable levels...

Mystic Topaz is "in"...
Mystic Topaz is "in" because it's been touted so much on domestic and international shopping channels that's is just hard to get away from! There are so many variations of this gem available that it's hard to keep up with the new variations coming out on weekly basis. What's great about this gem is that it is a "gem". Mystic Topaz uses a natural Topaz with a coating that transforms the gem into something unlike ever seen before in the gem industry!

Watch for movie stars wearing Pearls this year!
