So this is one of those pieces I never thought I would sell...I feel like I spent my whole life looking for emeralds like these! (May baby). But the truth is that while they're absolutely beautiful, I just don't wear this often enough to justify keeping it. I bought it spring of last year and have only worn it a handful of times. When I saw it (Yvonne Raley's site) I immediately snatched it up bc I could tell it was special, and it is. There was a lot of interest in this ring when it was offered. Yvonne later told me that if I ever sold it, I should ask between 1500-$2000 for it - she said that she got a ridiculously unexpected good deal on the emeralds from a dealer/friend of hers, and that they were extra nice quality; but that she couldn't justify asking more than $1k (what I paid) bc she got such a deal on the parcel, and if you're familiar with Yvonne, she is extremely fair and hates overcharging.

So - I'm not going to ask such a high price, but I'm not going to discount it much either, bc I'm very sure it's worth what I'm asking. These emeralds have that desirable blue hue. The smaller ones look remarkably clean to me, while I can see inclusions in the larger center stone; but this is to be expected in emeralds. Asking $950 shipped in US only, will ship insured priority mail, or for slightly more (@$15) I could do overnight USPS if you like.

Specs:

-size 9, sizeable (only use a very trusted jeweler though as emeralds are soft). The band in definitely on the thin side, I'd say about 1.5 mm at an estimate.
-14k rose gold
-5 stone Colombian untreated emeralds (except light oil), tcw right about 1 ct, stone sizes @2.5mm, 3.5 mm, 5 mm
-pics are a mix of mine and Yvonne's; this ring essentially always looks gorgeous to me. My pics show it next to other rings which are not included, and those were taken on a very overcast gray day; yet you can still see the amazing color even in no sun!

See Yvonne's description below -

"This five stone ring has an antique flavor, the prongs are off set to produce an even feel of a complete row of gems without interference of bezels. The gems are 5mm, 3.5mm and 2.5mm for a more prominent look. For this ring, I used top of the line emeralds, Colombian, lightly oiled, no other treatment. I came upon this parcel with one of my regular dealers - someone I buy mainly emeralds from and who still has connections to Colombia (most of the goods are gobbled up by large companies these days). These pieces have an incredible quality and glow, I was really surprised that the parcel wasn't totally out of my range in terms of price. Still, as you can see, this ring is not cheap."

I ship within the US only (due to insurance issues with int'l shipping). PayPal only please. I'm katharath on PS, and I've had many successful transactions here, selling from my personal collection as my preferences change. Please ask all questions before buying - as I'm not a trade person, and I almost always discount my pre loved items (sometimes by rather a lot), the understanding is that sales will be final. I am happy to provide any further info that I can, upon request.
