GEMS from Japan !!

Amazing Firework in Japan ...

It's beauty and powerful image reminds me of some beautiful Australian black opals. 

The color is unstoppable !!!

You might find some of our collection similar to these colors & patterns from the website ...

www.gemstory.com.au

First, gold.

Then it changes to another, 

you can not predict what will come next and that's a wonderful thing about the firework.

Just like the "color play" in opal, right ??!!?

They come and go, keeps changing its characters. 

Love all the shape, pattern, different sizes, vivid colors 

and its preciousness ...   

I am enjoying the summer in Japan now, 

participating opal shows from time to time and attempting 

to promote more through online as well.

But what's more, I am so happy to see and learn more of Japanese culture, being able to wear Kimono and attending to the summer event, to see THIS GEM !!!  

Life is too precious ...

Don't stop, keep walking forward ...

Work hard & Play hard (^^)

Missing a blue sky in Gold Coast too !!!

Anyway, cheers from Japan for now.

Feels like "HOLLYWOOD STAR" !!!?

As soon as I touched down at Los Angeles Airport,

the feeling was MAX !!! Oh, that's because

I found these flag's so lovely and AUSTRALIA ... (^^)

LOVE AUSTRALIA wherever I am !!!

For those who's never been to LA,

please check the link above.

 

Just few steps away from my hotel, there's

so many movie stars you can meet and step on (haha)!!

I met JOHN TRAVOLTA (my favorite actor), TOM CRUIS, JACKIE CHAN, KEVIN COSTNER, MICHAEL JACKSON

and so on ... ♪♪

HOLLYWOOD - WALK OF FAME

 

And of course, never exclude this amazing icon - The UNIVERSAL STUDIOS !!!!

 

Australia (especially Gold Coast) is a great place for the ride& theme parks, but not quite the same.

Kids or adults, young or old, single or taken ...

It does not matter what you are, you will definitely love UNIVERSAL STUDIOS experience.

The weather was perfect, so was my plate ... (^^) 

Filled with sweetness, beautiful colors

(reminds me of rainbow opals)

so much fun and so many deserts to chose from!  

 

I am in heaven ♪

AUSTRALIA will always be my BEST HOME  ...

but you know what? If you can find a chance to

see more and do more, you'll be absolutely

"HONORED" and "HAPPIER" in life. 

 

 

 

Before I go, check out this BLUE SKY !!?

It looks exactly the same as Australian blue sky

today and it always resemble me

of my favorite Opal Jewellery.

How to buy OPAL ?!?

 

 



How can you see the difference between 'REAL' and 'FAKE' 

when buying opals or even any other gems?

 

Well, it's very hard to say, so please read

attached information here ...

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au/how-to-buy-opal.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many gemstone dealers will try and use

'unfamiliar words' to explain,

when they're sersuading you to buy one.

 

But how much can you really understand

what they're saying??

 

It would be best that you go around, touch and see

more than a million piece of gems, then you may not

make mistakes in SELECTING ONE  (^^;)

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, it's impossible to do that ...

 

Life is too short !!!

That is why it's important to learn ... Please read this.

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au/about-gemstory.html

 

 

Four images I am showing in this particular BLOG ...

Can you tell which image is

NOT NATURAL OPAL ?!?

 

(if you guess it right, I have to kiss you on a cheek, haha!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, the point here is that gemstones are very tricky

when it comes to "How to buy the right one" ...

If you know that your opal is not 100% natural,

just partially real & you're happy with it,

sure I have nothing against your pick.

 

Only if you do not want to be tricked by those who's 

selling opals to you, it's always better to learn first!!!

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au

 

 

 

Australian Opal - especially Black Opal &

Boulder Opal is so rare ... increasing values.

We are here to guide you to the right path, i

n how to select good opal without making mistakes!!

 

Gold Coast is beautiful today ♪♪

So long my lovely "second home" ...

 

 

 

It's been 10 years since we've opened our retail space

in Surfers Paradise District.

 

The very "EXCITING" 10 years I must admit ...

 

Lots of dramas (usually good), laughters, joy of tears and unforgettable memories

we shared with our beautiful shop staff

& our customer!! 

 

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au/notice.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

But that will come to an end, because we

have to move on when the Lease Contract

finishes this month. (- -;) 

 

Well, one page is ending here and another page is

just about to open, that's all !!! 

 

 

 

 

The business will stay running even without

our retail space. Now that we can concentrate

on more things such as exporting & wholesaling

to Japan, as well as to other markets.

 

With more time at my new office (my home) 

I can design new products for our

new customer and so on ...  

 

Just can't tell enough how much I appreciate all my shop staff, friend and regular customer ...

 

To those who's been supportive since year 2003.

Without you, we wouldn't get this far and be here today so "THANK YOU" sincerely.

 

 

 

I remember my very first item ( K18 Diamonds -

Solid Australian Boulder Opal Pendant )

I have designed for my USA customer in 2003 ...

Sending this item to USA was not easy due to the

 limitation of insurance value and all the rule

I was not very familian with, back then ...

 

Anyway, customer received it after waiting for

several weeks and how happy she was,

she called me from CA just to say "thank you"!!

 

This piece is special, is still one of my memorable item, hehehe ... (^^) 

 

Stay in touch, cheers!!
