***this gem is on reserve pending pymt***
Final reduction - this is a crazy good price on this tsav, which I honestly am surprised hasn't sold yet! I've had a lot of messages about it, and once it was reserved for a buyer for a few weeks, but it didn't work out. At this point I'm now offering it at a really low price (IMO) just to move it. I bought this here on LT from a well known PS boardie - am offering it here at a loss.
This tsav is the desirable darker material. It's a gorgeous dark green with flashes of bright green coming off the gem. It is not precision cut, but it's not at all badly cut. It's approx 5.1 mm cushion. It is .84 cts. It also has that beautiful blue modifier that is so desirable in a tsav - you can really see it in incandescent lighting. This gem has never been set. It is not completely clean but it is mostly eye clean; there's nothing too distracting. I can really only see one inclusion, but it blends in very well.
Please note that this IS what I would consider darker tsav material; I think it's closest to "medium dark/dark" tsavorite. It's very beautiful, especially if you like the darker material, but it does show some extinction, especially when viewed in lighting that isn't bright enough. That's why this tsav is priced so low instead of much, much higher. It's beautiful material but it doesn't pop in dark lighting conditions. I think a recut could possibly improve the extinction issues a lot, but that would be something to discuss with a cutter.
I apologize for the pics - I find tsavs VERY hard to photograph accurately! This one is dark, but with bright green sparkle. The green itself is very nice with that great blue secondary that makes it pop, especially in certain lighting. The third pic was taken by the previous owner, not by me, so credit goes to her! That one shows the cutting pretty well though, which is why I included it. Last pic shows tsav In incandescent lighting.
Shipping included in price, within US only.
