One-of-a-Kind Premier Color Collection

Every piece on this page is definitely one-of-a- kind! We send John Carter every year to the largest loose gem show in the world in Tucson, AZ. Here, he buys an amazing collection of loose colored gemstones, and he is very choosy! He scours through thousands of stones to bring back only the finest! We then take these loose stones and select or design a setting to compliment the shape and color of that specific stone.

You may find many colored stones in this collection that you have never heard of. Tucson is not the place to buy sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. We have the best suppliers in the industry that provide us with this type of merchandise everyday. We prefer to offer you some more exotic and unusual choices in our Tucson collection.

Spinel is a natural gemstone that most consumers are completely unfamiliar with. This is a shame because it comes in a WIDE range of colors and more than holds its own against its better known counterparts. A great way to test this for yourself is to take a look at our collection of red spinels and compare its vibrant red against even the finest rubies. In most cases spinel will be a less expensive alternative but will have a color that is as strong (and sometimes even better!) than ruby. This similarity is so strong, that in fact, some of the most famous “rubies” in history have turned out to be red spinel!

While we take pride in our mounted colored stones, please know that we also keep a great collection of LOOSE colored stones as well. So, perhaps you have a ring that needs some freshening up or you just want to add some color? Why not consider adding a lavender spinel or blue green Tourmaline? The selection is huge so just tell us what your favorite color is! Chances are good we will have something that speaks to you.

Have some fun with our color! We sure did putting it together for you. Browse around, but the one thing that each of these pieces have in common is that they must be seen in person in order to be fully appreciated. Please let us know if you should have any questions by clicking here jcarter@jacklewisfinejewelry.com. Enjoy and welcome to our world of color!

341-20177 Click Image To Enlarge 1.99ct blue spinel with .65ct of diamonds set in 18k white gold. Blue spinel in this size seems to be a challenge to find these days. I was only able to track a couple of them down in Tucson in Feb. The diamonds are set at even intervals and not only run from the top of the spinel but also about 1/3 of the way up the chain as well. This piece must be tried on to be appreciated! Price: $3499.00

341-20094 Click Image To Enlarge 2.06ct blue green tourmaline with .30ct of princess cut diamonds set in 14k white gold. Green tourmalines with this touch of blue are very rare, hence when you can find them they do get a little pricey!
