To be fair, R. W. Wise has some of the finest quality gems and jewelry I have ever seen---and I have seen a lot.
Pigeon blood rubies from Burma, royal blue sapphires from Burma, Ceylon and Madagascar. They are a bit eccentric tis true, but you will never see the same old thing when you go to that shop. Its like jewelers must have been before everything was made in a mold in Asia.
Pros: Best colored gems I have seen.
Cons: high quality, not cheap
