I thought it might prove useful to my customers considering custom orders to have a rough idea of what I have on hand in the way of gemstones, and what I can easily get my hands on as well. This list will never be 100% accurate or up to date as I simply can't update it every single time I buy a stone or set one, but I'll try to keep it as up to date as I can! Currently (as of 11/08) is is a just-started work in progress. I'm doing this by memory, so if I don't remember what size it is I'm just not specifying right now.
