Hi all,

I bought this pair over a year ago and really wanted to make something special - but honestly I could use some extra Christmas money right now, so thought I'd see if anyone was interested.

Purchased from Yvonne Raley. They come with a cert from GAL, which is the lab she uses, and were checked out by her usual guy. Cert notes that they are H/I, Si2, .95 tcw, measuring: 4.97-5.01x2.89 and 4.92-4.94x2.77

They are not a perfectly matched facet pattern - they are both OECs dating back to the 20s (per Yvonne), with nice culets (one is pretty tiny, the other slightly larger but the difference between the pair is not distracting IMO). One looks pretty flowery to me; the other not so much, but they look nice together; nice enough to use as side stones in both mine and Yvonne's opinion. Of course they would make beautiful earrings as well! (Pics show the next to some of my stones - only diamonds are for sale/included).

They look pretty white to me and are pleasingly round and show beautiful, somewhat chunky dispersion/sparkles. I can see some inclusions without a loupe (I don't own one; diamonds are a rarity for me as I usually buy CS) so if you're very concerned about inclusions these may not be for you; but they are a very nice pair IMO. I'm sorry I'm not able to be more descriptive, but diamonds are not my area of expertise! I will answer questions to the best of my ability, though.

I paid @$1650 for these, and I see similar/comparable pairs selling on the sites we all know of for at least $1200-$1400. (The cert states the estimated retail value as $2100). So I'm going to ask $1050 OBO. They will ship insured USPS priority mail or I can overnight them for a slight additional cost. Pymt via Friends/family PP greatly appreciated but not required :)

More pics available on request - or I could possibly email a short vid if needed - just ask!

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.
