Offering these never set, rare Vietnamese pink spinel pears/pair. My pics were mostly taken on a cloudy day - these are very sparkly IRL!!

-.91 tcw
- 4mm x 5.75 mm each
- Vietnamese spinel, untreated
-I think of them as a "sweet baby pink" but Yvonne described them as "rosy pink" - I don't see any gray in them, they are sparkly and even show dispersion in sunlight. They would make amazing earrings. They look very nice in indoor lighting as well.

These are the rarer Vietnamese spinels that are famous for their lack of gray and delicate color. There hasn't been any sunlight to take pics in for the last couple of days where I am (overcast) so most of the pics I just took don't show much of the sparkle, and the color deepens up a bit in sunlight too, but here's a good idea. The cut isn't precision but not at all bad; maybe a touch of tilt window but no true windowing. I've seen a good amount of Vietnamese material and it's often not well cut, very skinny pears with obvious windows, but these are very eye pleasing little pear shapes. Paid $465, I'll ask $300 OBO. Yvonne had a few pairs of these from a gem show early this year (I got to choose these from the vendor) and they all went pretty quickly. Rare material.

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 rather a lot, the understanding is that sales will be final. I am happy to provide any further info that I can, upon request.
