Description

This was my original engagement ring, purchased in September 2013. I've worn it lovingly (and carefully), but I need to sell it as I've recently upgraded and can't keep both (isn't that always the case!). I wore it often as an engagement ring for six months, but after the wedding, I ended up wearing only the wedding band by itself and so this beautiful ring has been mostly sitting in a box for the past year.

I'm asking US$1000 OBO on this ring. I originally paid around $2,000 for this ring, so it's a great discount. :) The setting alone is $875 new (ref.: https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/listing/48780899/lotus-engagement-ring-open-setting-in )

- Sapphire from Sri Lanka (color shift, from blue to violet/lavender-blue), 6.3mm, 0.90 carat, no treatment
- 18k yellow gold custom-made Lotus engagement setting, hand-forged (no casting, no molds)
- diamonds are G VS1
- US size 6.5
- resizeable (please see photos for reference)
- Sapphire and setting are both from Heart of Water on Etsy.
- First 3 photos from vendor; 4th photo is in sunlight, 5th photo is in indoor fluorescent (CFL) lighting

A note about the sapphire: It's an untreated sapphire at a good price and generous face up for its size. Please note that it does have visible inclusions that are not very noticeable at normal viewing distance, but are apparent upon close inspection. It is "native-cut" but does not have a window. I believe it's a good deal at this price point. :)

I am mochiko42 on PS and Ebay.

A note about photos: I try to capture photos to show the gems in a variety of realistic lighting, including in harsh incandescent (office) lighting, so potential buyers can have a realistic idea of the stone's appearance. Please note though that my photos are taken with a camera phone, and the stone/ring is without exception much nicer in person than the photos can show.

All sales are final, so please be sure to ask any questions before purchase. All prices are in US dollars and include Paypal fees, but exclude shipping. I will only ship out items upon receipt of payment. For local (Hong Kong) buyers, I am happy to include FREE local registered mail or to meet up in person. (Note: I'll add another discount if you pay via Paypal "friends/family personal payment" or if you are local and pay via direct deposit or in person.)

International shipping is US$10 for registered air mail (non-insured) or US$30 for EMS courier Speedpost (registered and insured).

Thank you!
