After a lot of mulling over, I've decided to offer my tsavorite ring. I have worn it only rarely for sometime now; I think I just prefer the lighter mints to darker tsavs. But what has held me back from listing is that this is such a pretty tsav! I've owned 5 or so now but this is the nicest tsav I've personally seen. It is a dark green, but a bright lively stone. It really is lovely. It is small, @5 mm and I believe the weight is right at .5 carat if I remember correctly. But the color is my ideal for a tsav. It is darker but doesn't suffer from the extinction that you often see with darker tsavs. It is well cut, and was sourced from Yvonne Raley (through Jaimeen at Prima). To my mind it is ideal in cut, color, brightness, liveliness, etc - I just wish it were larger! It shows better IRL than it does in pics, but I can try sending/taking pics more if requested.
Even though tsavs keep going up, pricing on this is still a good chunk lower than what I have into the setting and the gem. (I don't want to sell this unset, so this will only be sold as a ring; however you could always reset it and either scrap the gold or reuse the setting for another 5 mm gem. It is priced with a large discount from what I have into it, though). I just saw a tsav for sale from Prima that is extremely similar to this one in every way - only it costs more loose than what I'm asking for this ring!
The ring is 14k yellow gold, and I believe it's right about a 7.75, so just smaller than an 8. This type of band is easily size able though, by a good jeweler. This ring stacks nicely next to most bands. It is in great condition, the gem is set very securely, no issues that I can see.
Pics don't show quite how pretty this gem is in person - it is a wonderful green. The third pic shows it unset/loose.
