I am an independent, gemologist / jewelry appraiser in Franklin, Tennessee (Nashville). I often post photographs of items I have seen. However, I don't buy or sell diamonds, gems, or jewelry.

I have the most bestest, greatest, nicest, most interesting clients; I am so fortunate!

I photograph my cats, too.

"I am so glad that Sue is a Flickr buddy. I love reading her posts, which are always smart, gutsy, and usually totally hilarious. I love her self-effacing humor, and her apparent love of cheese, which I, too, share. Solidarity, sister! xox"

"A perfect combination of diamonds, jewelry and cats. What more can be said about Sue's photos? I look forward to her comments on my pictures, as she has a great sense of humor. A great contact for sure, and a wonderful flickr friend."

"(this first part was dictated by SimonS and Miss Billie):

Auntie Sue is really nice and tells us how cute and pretty we are. She probably would give us more treats than my Mom does, too. Her kitties are really nice, too.
====================

OK, now it's MY turn.

I am so happy and fortunate that Sue and I found each other on Flickr! She is the perfect combination of a warm-heartedness and Sass! As much as I love her photos of her kitties, her gem photography has come so far in the time that I've known her!

I'm happy to call her my friend and the kitties are happy to call her their Auntie Sue!"

"Sue is a "funny-as-hell" flickr friend. She shares her love of kitties, her vast jewelry expertise, her gorgeous jewelry photos...and most of all her warmth and humor. Flickr is a richer, funnier experience because of theappraiserlady."

"Sue is an incredible woman and I'm happy to call her a friend. She is so supportive and has this unrivaled ability to determine exactly what you need at the time, whether it's her bizarre humor or a good swift kick in the butt! Her cats rock too! And Sue's jewelry photos have really been outstanding lately, and this is coming from a girl who's not very interested in jewelry!"

"Sue is a wonderful person who always has something uplifting and nice to say about everything and everyone. I love her incredible sense of humor and she makes me smile even when I don't feel like it. Her photography of her jewelry is amazing. Most of all she has 5 beautiful cats which I am the Aunt to the one named Jasmine whom I get emails from that always makes my day. Sue is a lovely person and I feel so fortunate to have her as a friend. She is a positive thinker which is upbeat with a loving attitude that makes her a special person.
She brightens the world of Flickr and mine. A dear friend and I thank her for that."
