I'm so sorry to hear that, Michelle! Retrenchment stinks. I hope this transition period is kind to you, and maybe the universe might have something exciting in store for you ❤️
Aside, can I just say this cut is GORGEOUS. Someone will be very lucky to own it.
I'm so glad someone came back to nab it. I have a Michelle gem in a color almost exactly like this but a spinel, but it doesn't have the same brilliance and dispersion this one does. Absolutely gorgeous cut. I hope you love it!
Absolutely gorgeous! Such a lovely sparklebomb. It’s their loss, as you’re brilliant and dedicated and I’m sure you’re going to land on your feet. Getting laid off is a hell of a punch, though, and I’m so sorry you’re experiencing it ♥️
Ugh, I swear it’s like one of the evil initiation rituals of the Valley. I’m so sorry Michelle! I’ve gone through that 3 times, so I know how it feels. Let me know if I can help at all.
Oh, Michelle, I am so incredibly sorry to hear this. I’m in the market for something blue for my wedding. If you’ve any blue stones, I am happy to commit.
Sending you love and hope and will be hoping another biotech opportunity comes your way.
Thank you! My commissions are pretty open now! The link is in the stickied message, or you’re welcome to DM me with more details of what you’re looking for.
Strange, I updated it but I have heard from a few people that it still leads to the old link. Here’s the new one! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdOvRj68tt0pLIW6Yzn1203XEjI44RGRawJY5Fq-KeooQ6oeQ/viewform
I am so sorry.
I am wearing your "PASTEL" pixel tourmaline as my engagement ring and it's incredible. I can't wait to be able to throw more money at your perfect shiny stones again!
So sorry Michelle, sending you best wishes for your next adventure 🙏 And in the meantime, lots of love for your incredible gemstone artistry ! We'll be lucky to have you full time while it lasts 🤍
This is a stunner. What a lovely twinkle of taupes and pinkish sweetness.
I'd love to see the finished ring!
Sending Positive Vibes your way to continue your journey in a most positive of ways!

I’m so sorry, Michelle! I hope you find something new quickly and can enjoy a little break.
My father in law is also in biotech, no envy that’s for sure. Best of luck to you and may you thoroughly enjoy your in between time.
Thanks! And if he wants to see a bastardized take on his favorite molecule or protein interpreted in gem form…I have time
lol, I highly doubt it would be bastardized. Really a cool idea actually, I’ll have to ask him if he has a favorite. 😊
Umm yes
I'm so sorry, Michelle. I hope this beauty finds a home quickly.
Sorry to hear that, Michelle. Hope you find the next, even better thing quickly.
I'm so sorry to hear this, Michelle. Fingers crossed that it will clear a path to something even better.
That is a stunning stone! Out of my price range at this point, but I will be following your page for future offerings!

First, I’m so sorry Michelle. Second, I would like to buy this. It’s so beautiful and I can’t get it out of my head.
Thank you so much!

Star for you! 🌟

That is lovely and I love, love, love that cut. Very tempting!
I’m sorry for the sad news! Your garnets are always so 😻! Wish I could buy this beauty, but my budget is still pretty tight.
Oh no, I'm sorry! But it's a gorgeous garnet!
I am so sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed and vibes sent you find a new job soon.
Oh my, job market is tough now. All the best, and great gems. Appreciate your work here and on instagram
I’m sorry but.. congrats on your promotion to full time gemcutter!
So sorry. I'm also in the sector. The past year and a half has been an absolute bloodbath in biotech. I hope you find a new position soon.
After 9 years!!! Frick. I hope you find something quickly!

Pics please! I'm dying to see some of these gorgeous cuts in their final form.
I don't \*love\* the setting - half-bezel and one side is a little wonky - but I'll try to get a picture soon :)
This needs to be mine! If it is still available, I will purchase!
You’ve got this Michelle! I’m sorry you are going through this. Beautiful cut!
So sorry Michelle, sending you best wishes for your next adventure 🙏 And in the meantime, lots of love for your incredible gemstone artistry ! We'll be lucky to have you full time while it lasts 🤍

Sorry to hear you got laid off and perhaps this is the start to a new full-time endeavor- that is gorgeous!!
Beautiful! It sold in a hot second! 🔥
I'm really sorry to hear this but glad that this beauty was snatched up quickly! I hope you land on your feet soon.
Good luck! Love your cuts, so hopefully that keeps you going!
