Yes, another live sale but here’s where I am going to strive to be different:
1) COMPETITIVE PRICING. – while working in the industry under Canada’s largest gem and mineral brand, I recognize the overhead costs and so should you. Shipping is incredibly high as they have raised these prices multiple times just since the drat epidemic that hit us all. Looks like they recognized a very lucrative mark
et (really indispensable) and shippers cashed in there too. While I’m not afraid to upfront the cash, I AM afraid of having mediocre selections included in my buy so I am somewhat restricted to inflated prices too because I want the best quality and stone. Which leads me to my second point
2) QUALITY – it means more to me to provide you with a stone you know than to provide you with a stone you don’t. I am in this business because I am truly passionate about what this world offers. The enigmas and unique attributes of each stone I purchase are not chosen at random but with purpose. They either spoke to me or offered something uniquely different to their counterparts or just have everything we crave in that rock formation.
3) TIME – I appreciate that you all know about those bulk markets but also appreciate how much time you have to invest into finding a good deal. I will take the time on your behalf to look for the best quality at the best price
4) UNIQUE STONES – come from all over the world. They will not be found on your run of the mill online shops. Connections are made with miners, suppliers, polishers, distributors. Haggling and prying for information to bring your stone to you with as much of its history as possible is my goal. Unique minerals are often not discounted. They are rarer and more individual. On my live, you don’t just see an enhanced eBay photo but a live 360 of the piece you want.
5) PRICE PICKERS: We will sometimes have live auctions where you will pick the price (as product permits). This will be very random.
6) EDUCATION - My lives will include educational components when explaining the feature stones. Less so for standard materials but PLEASE PLEASE ask if you have any questions. If I don’t know…we’ll look it up and as always, welcome everyone’s imput. I hate when lives just put things in front of folks and expect us to believe it’s not dyed or treated to make a buck. I will stand behind my product and find out all the details I can for you from mine location to distribution and polishing location. The history of your stone. I seek out only honest wholesalers since most have become less responsible these days.
7) EDUCATED - I am not new to this. I have worked years in the industry for one of North America’s largest gem and mineral companies. I will be working with them closely to bring their claim owned Canadian minerals to our featured lives. All over the world, these are the relationships I will be bringing to you. Direct sources.
8) FUN - I am here to sell materials, yes that’s true…but I love the social, the knowledge, the fun and of course the beautiful specimens. CUSTOM BRACELETS:
The "Duplex", "Masquerade" and "Infinity" bracelet designs are original and created by me. Using genuine stones and providing an id card in every bracelet made. I will feature these bracelets on my page as well as on my live sales once in awhile.
