so the alternate birthstone for October is pink tourmaline instead of the norm of opal. problem is it is difficult to find.

anyone out there found any place that has pink tourmaline rings?

thanks for helping out a x-mas shopper!

I know ive seen them at Sams before and also at Costco. seems like a odd place for them but i have seen them there. You may want to try zales or check sears as well. I know sears has a huge selection when it comes to birthstones.

Call Nomadic Notions on Broadway. They carry a lot of natural semi precious stones.

Also google it! You'll find more bead/jewelry making suppliers than ants at a picnic! And don't forget Ebay...I've seen tons of gorgeous jewelry supplies and stones there.

thanks for the suggestions. i'd like to try and keep off the internet, because i'm a major hands on kinda buyer. i have to see, touch, and feel. pictures won't do for me.
thanks again.

Don't forget Ebay for a site to get ideas on pricing/design....great deals from jewlers that choose web based sites to sell and pass the saving to the consumer vs paying for storefront....

pink tourmaline rings, great deals on Jewelry Watches, Antiques on eBay!

I got over 800 hits on rings alone...

well...you're certainly welcome. Nomadic Notions is local and very hands on. They are located on Broadway. 5000 block in the Arcadia Grove shopping strip. They will be very happy to know that you are not an internet shopper since the internet has almost put them out of business!
