Nowhere is color more beautiful?and the available options so many-- than in the world of colored gemstones! Sapphires can be pink, yellow, green, white, orange, brown, purple and the all-popular blue. The typical deep wine color garnet has relatives in virtually every color but blue. And don?t jump to say emerald when you see green, as it just may be tourmaline, sapphire, chrome dioxide, zircon, topaz, beryl, or peridot. And the list goes on...When it comes to colored stones, there?s a color and price point for every woman! Join us for an elegant afternoon tea in a private setting with personal jeweler Alma Wainscott, president of the A. Wainscott Company, as she opens our eyes to the world of well-known, and not-so-well-known gems.



Ms. Wainscott?s hour-long lecture will enlighten you on what to consider when selecting a stone. We?ll learn about optimal color tones, clarity and cuts, as well as the world regions where different stones are mined. And, she will display a fascinating range of fine stones across a wide spectrum of colors. Ms. Wainscott will answer all your questions while you happily sip tea and champagne and feast on delicious scones and finger sandwiches.



This exclusive afternoon event is open to 15 ladies only, so sign up now to reserve your place at the table on September 24, 2009 for this unique talk and exciting display. Only 7 places available on line.
