Ditto. I would love to see this as well. Please and thank you, Less.


When the patents are filed then he can release the images. To release the images before the patent is filed could jeopardize his intellectual property. SO, if the patents are filed on his timeline (he said all by May15) we should start seeing the gems very soon.

Won't be much longer now wink Buying, on the other hand, will be a bit more of a wait.


Thanks, Frank! I just assumed that it was possible because they have already released video.

Thank goodness the Avarra sapphires and emeralds are safe - I'd be heartbroken if they were discontinued. I'd have to do a mass purchase otherwise and then my credit card would really hate me.

Less,

Will the amora princess gem eliminate the "window" you see when looking at a cz or asha princess from the side as well as the cross you can see from the top? Will the table be similar to an asha?

Avarra lab grown emeralds are likely to be continued, rubies are a bit iffier. Similarly, the other sapphire colors such as pink and yellow are also pretty questionable in terms of any future restocking.

I must've looked right at it and didn't even see it. Brainfart! I know jbeg is stopping making customs after May and I REALLY want the concave cute in that size & I will settle with a diamond cut if I have to, but it's stressful looking at the calander thinking "will they be in on time?"

I believe jbeg said that they would finish any order already set into motion before May, not finish all orders by May, so even if your stone isn't ready but you've contacted them, paid any required deposits, etc., you should be able to get your custom setting, I would think.

Believe it was a patent issue. "Mira" was already taken.

I dont think this has been addressed (I read through all 91 pages of this but by page 30 I couldnt remember what was said on page one), but will the Amora Gem be able to be recut without turning brown like moissy? As in if I want an OMC or ACC, will i be able to buy a RB for example, and have it recut?
