“About a decade ago, Nell started an appointment book for me, and that really helped. “The consultative relationship is probably most important to me, and Edgewood Orchard is perfect for that,” McDonough said. For McDonough – who had made a career in financial planning at American Express and MetLife – explaining is a polished skill that she has transferred to her jewelry business. That usually requires some explaining about how this interchangeability works and what advantages it provides to a buyer. “All of my jewelry comes apart – it’s interchangeable – so you can wear things in different ways,” she said. Some patterns don't speak to me as much as others.Jewelry maker Marcia McDonough said that Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Fish Creek is the perfect place to sell her creations.

I can get over lots of other things in the stone because chances are that particular pattern in that stone cannot be found in any other stone anywhere, period. For me the pattern is like the end all to be all. But as DD mentioned, it's that PATTERN that will draw you in. Even the BEST looking OEC's I've seen have some leakage.either along the edges or in the table or both. I mentioned that I don't think that most of the ways we'd critique a modern stone would be beneficial to these old stones. Someone asked on another thread if I'd seen an ASET of my new stone. It's such a personal decision-part of the fun of the old cut!! Some patterns don't speak to me as much as others. Diffused and natural much like MRB's but this stone is amazing in sunlight whereas my MRB never really impressed me much in direct sun. I was thinking today that my stone actually performs it's best in the sunlight, diffused sunlight or natural lighting. My stone performs very differently in diff lighting situations. Some of those pastels could just be lighting in the pictures too. For me, when I see an OEC I trust my first gut response because my eyes are well trained, and then do a more throgh analysis later which is less about deciding if it well cut or not but more about learning about its unique personality and deciding if we are compatible When looking at old cuts, if you are an analytic person, I think there is a little of that type of cost-benefit analysis that accompanies owning this type of stone. So for me, the plusses outweigh the minuses.

I also love a super high crown giving the stone a full and 3 dimensional look. The patterning is what I love about OECs rather than overall light return. But it is balanced by really amazing faceting to view up close in dim lighting (a very personal way of viewing a diamond), hardly any obstuction issues, and really nice bold contrast patterning accross the face of the stone. It is not too bad, but because I know what it is I can see it. My 7mm keystone has leakage under the table. The cut is not about perfection, as you know. Even really well cut OECs will have it to an extent I think. I can post some photos that show it later if you like. Laila all the OECs I have owned - save one - showed leakage to some degree. Yssie isn't windowing basically just uber leakage? Looks like leakage and maybe some obstruction.
