(Mission Times Courier, San Diego, Ca) -  Each year we travel to Antwerp, Belgium to purchase diamonds for our special customers. Antwerp is the "Diamond Capital of the World" where more than 80% of the world's diamonds are cut. Traveling direct to Antwerp allows us to select from the very best diamonds. We deal directly with the Antwerp diamond cutters with no middle-men involved, passing along the savings directly to our customers. Please contact us before we leave on October 10th to order the diamond of your dreams or for a special gift for an upcoming birthday, anniversary or holiday gift.

OCTOBER BIRTHSTONE - OPAL
Opals come in a variety of colors. Precious opal can have either a white or black background color with the flashes of blue, green or red. This feature is called "play of color". Australia has been the major producer of opals, with the exception of Mexican fire opal. Fire opal ranges from yellow to orange red in body color and is usually transparent.  Boulder opals are also beautiful, we have a large selection if a wide range of colors, many resembling scenes. These are cut from thin layers of beautiful material which would normally not be thick enough to set in jewelry. The original host rock is left on the back for additional support.
