A few years ago I became obsessed with Cobalt Blue Spinels. I think they are one of the most beautiful stones I have ever seen. THIS IS NOT A COBALT SPINEL but it is a nice blue spinel that I got from Tan. I do have a cobalt that I will be putting up a little later this week but this one is is a nice purplish blue with a bit of gray in it. It's an oval (of course) and is a hare over a carat. Email me any and all questions you have about any of my listings as these are final sales. Shipping is included of course! Thank you for taking time to look at my listings!

Another bypass project I was considering was using this .69 sapphire with a .47 Oval cut diamond that I will be listing later this week. I have about a billion ideas in my head about jewelry design and one day I will put them to actual use. This is a very pretty violet sapphire that is unheated. It's on the darker side of violet but isn't too dark and is very clean as well. Please email me any and all questions as all sales are final. Shipping is included and I consider all offers. Thank you so much for checking out my listings.

Emerald cut stones fascinate me to no end, especially if they are 35 carats of emerald cut (Mariah!). This is a beautiful royal blue unheated sapphire I picked up from Tan a few years ago. It's a skinnier/longer emerald cut and but the color is out of this world. It's a beautiful royal blue and so far I haven't seen extinction when I have looked at it. It's a wonderful stone that was going to be a part of a emerald diamond/emerald sapphire bypass ring. It's never been set and the project stalled. Email me any questions you may have as all sales are final. I accept PayPal from confirmed email addresses and shipping is included. Thank you so much for looking at my listings!

Guess what I selling? Another pink spinel that is a oval cut? Big shocker I know. Well this is a beautiful pink spinel that I would describe the color as bubblegum pink. It's .83 ctw and is a oval cut though I would say it's a fat oval/roval. There is a window because it's a native cut, but that should close up if you set it. The stone is very clean VVS clarity. Please email me any questions you may have as this is a final sale. Shipping is included and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thank you for looking!

Another cabochon spinel up for auction. This is a pretty reddish orange color and it was going to be part of the candy colored stacking rings I was going to do. It hasn't been set into jewelry and I would describe the color as going between orange marmalade jelly and a Nehi peach soda. Email me any questions you may have as this is a final sale. I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thanks for looking!

Up for sale and set of three pink/red sapphire beads. I got these from Carolyn Ehret a few years ago as another one of my projects. These beards are a gorgeous blend of red and pink with a tinge of purple. They are untreated and would make a great earring or necklace project. I love my faceted stones but the things that Carolyn Ehret sells have really opened my eyes to how beautiful a rough or more natural looking stone can be. Shipping is included in the price and I accept PayPal only from confirmed accounts. Please ask as many questions about these stones as this is a final sale. Thanks for checking out my listings!

Another Carolyn Ehret purchase. She's got some amazing things I was enchanted with these beads. It's a small strand of 2.40 untreated yellow diamond cube beads. I had 1000000 different ideas of what I was going to do with them but it just never came to be. I know some hate to use the term, but they really do have a nice canary yellow color to them and a pretty shimmer to them. A fun project with some pastel colored stones maybe? Email me any questions you may have about these or any of my other listings as this is a final sale. Shipping is included and and I am open to offers on all of my listings. I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thank you for looking!

This one comes from my flirtation with pearls. I bought it from Carolyn Ehert a few years back it's a Japanese Kasumi Pearl measuring 10.1x12.2 with a full hole drilled. The colors that shoot out of it are awesome, you have blues, pinks, greens, purples, and yellows. It's got the natural Kasumi flaws and ripples that these pearls are famous for. Please email me any questions you may have about this or my other auctions as this is a final sale. Shipping is included and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses. Thanks for looking!

PAYMENT PENDING Clearing out the jewelry box. Up for sale is a semi mount that I am not going to use. I had it made to fit a 14x12 stone so it is for a larger stone. My stone I have pictured sitting on top. I was going to use the stone in a pendant but I do not wear jewlery anymore due to my job as a nurse. All my jewelery is just sitting so I decided to let someone else enjoy these peices as I did. This ring was 850 to have made from a picture I took of another antique emerald ring. This mount fits a 14x12 and perhaps a little size up I am not sure. It has diamonds on the band on all sides. It is micropave so they are small and I do not know the weight. I about went blind trying to count them all but there looks to be 10 on all each sides. So that is 60 on the band and around 40-42 around the stone--Just know there are alot of them and I am not sure on their specs but they do not look bad. There is one that looks a little dark but that is due to the stone being set because it wasnt there before..the same thing happened when David Klass set a ring for me and we were able to remove the dark spot from the heat but really I don't think it is that noticeable but I disclose all I can find--perhaps when you get a stone set it can be cleaned up like my other ring but it is so small it is not really noticeable The prongs are yellow in color modeled after the ring I had it made like and there are 8 prongs- They can be made into claw I had the opening made 14x12 so my stone would sit low in the prongs. It sets up around 6-7mm off the finger and just enough to fit the stone I had there without it touching my skin. I am not sure how much this ring weighs but I think I remember it being 5 grams The band in the back of the ring is coming up right at almost 2mm so it is not a thick band due to the micropave setting..makes the stone pop There is slight curve near a prong in the metal but you can barely notice it and will not be there once a stone is back in place and they heat the metal again--I am describing this in fine detail that I would want anyone to mention but it will be straightened out once set again The stone I will include in this sale for free and that is a incredible deal because the guy that made these does not make them anymore and you cannot buy one easily today if anywhere like this. It is a 14x12 emerald columbian color doublet which means a portion is quartz but he included --meaning fractured..the quartz making it look like an emerald. It looks like the real deal and was a 180 dollar stone. I bought three because they were so amazing. When I had one set the lady took it back to the guy who sets for me and he came out and said I am not going to set this stone because I can't afford to hand you 30,000 if I mess it up--I had to tell him it was a doublet and he has been in the buisness for years. He then took another look with the loupe and saw and asked me where he can buy one. I say this just so it is known the stone is really beautiful but like the ring I will not use and to sweeten the deal it is included for you to set in this ring. You may set another stone and set the emerald in something else. I would be happy to email and email pictures and will do my best to get to them as quick as I can Shipping is included in this price- US only --too many past problems with international shipping I consider this a fire sale-final sale so please view the pictures and ask any questions prior to buying--I paid way more for this to be made and the stone itself was 180--the ring was 850 I have 100% here on the forum under my name as both a seller and buyer since 2007 and on ebay with 100% since 2002

SOLD was 750...Clearing out the jewelry box because I do not wear my jewelry really anymore due to changing careers and becoming a nurse. Up for sale is one of my beloved rings. I am letting it go because it is not worn lately and I wear a different ring when I wear any at all. This was made to display and be enjoyed as I did. It is a Ritani semi mount ring setting from the masterwork series in their Bella vita halo settings which they do not make anymore. This comes from the elite rings from Ritani and what sets them apart in the halo rings from any average ring. Made in solid platinum to fit a 6mm round. I had my stone removed so it is ready for your stone and is desiged by Ritani to have minimal metal so your stone pops around the microdiamonds that are very high quality. Find a good jeweler to set your stone as bezel is harder to manage the metal and make sure they tighten the side baguettes. It is a 5,300 dollar semi mount that I managed to get for 2500 several years ago and I am letting it go because I will not wear it and I want to sell to someone who will enjoy this as well as the bargain but there is nothing wrong with this ring Model 1RZ3709btbr for .65-.75ct stone or 5.9-6.2mm the information said online for this ring. My stone was 5.99 or 6mm 80 micropave to make .24ct and 2 channel tapered custom cut baguettes on the sides to make .36ct in the color G-H and VS clarity. This information can be found on this ring. I bought it out of the display box at Bailey Banks Biddle when they had a store in Alabama..we fell in love with it in college and they had it there for 3-4 years and when they went out of business we bought it for the 2500 instead of retail. I wear a 5.75 to a size 6 depending on which finger and this fits both ring fingers. I had it sized to 5.5 and placed sizing beads at the bottom which can be removed easily to keep it from spinning so I am not sure what size to call it. This ring is sizeable but I am not sure how far up or down due to the side stones. I bought it as a 7 and sized it so I am sure a good jeweler can size it up or down a bit. 7grams on my scale- solid platinum-heavy Ebay had one of these for 1800 recently so this is an incredible bargain I am sure of it. There is no Ritani semi mount ring for this price on the internet that I could find. I am more than happy to email pics and answer questions the best I can--I consider this a fire sale-final sale to move it out --there are fees being taken out and considerable discounts here Shipping is included in the price- US only (too many past problems with international shipping) I have references here since 2007 as both a seller/buyer on the forums and on ebay since 2002 at 100%

SOLD Clearing out things I do not wear due to a career change to nursing so here are some bargains in my listings. I have this watch that was given to me on Valentines Day 5 years ago and it has been lovingly worn here and there. I no longer wear it because of my type of work now so I have decided to let it be worn by someone new as it needs to be worn This is the Baume et Mercier Linea watch series and is 65305 with the Reflective dial in silver--very sleek looking and not too flashy The retail is 1990.00 I like a smaller bezel and this one is 25mm- stainless steel, 7.2mm case thickness that I measured with manual calipers and online for this retail says 7.8 so I am close Screw down back with four screws- quartz movement Battery operated and in great working condition--I just had this looked at and the battery replaced..everthing is okay Serial number is visible with all Baume et Mercier logos 3392021 The glass surface has a scratch near the top but you have to get up on it and start twisting it in the light to see it but I disclose everything and I was quoted 40 to replace it with glass there and not send it off to Baume and Mercier but I am not sure what your jeweler will charge--I am selling as it is though and the scratch is reflected in the price There is also scuffs on the metal that can be buffed out I just never had it done because I it never bothered me but you will want to take it to get cleaned up as there are signs of use I measured this watch at right at 6.5inches around while I had it closed on my wrist. I do not have the extra links anymore to size it up but they can be bought anywhere this is sold or ordered and it is cheaper than buying a new one! You can also change the band as it is interchangeable I don't have the box it came in anymore--but it will ship safe and sound The cheapest I found this was 795 new and 650 used so my price is a bargain Feel free to email, I can send pics too The shipping is included--US only (too many problems in the past with international shipping) I consider this a fire sale-final sale so please ask upfront as I am moving it with this price to clear out my box I have references for the forums since 2007 as both seller and buyer here and on ebay since 2002 with 100% as seller/buyer

It's 12 carats and some change, I bought her because I wanted to see what 12 carats looked like in person. It's a square emerald cut London blue topaz. There is a sizable window but I imagine once set it would close up a bit. I love the dark teals and blues of this stone and it's clean. Shipping is included and please email me any questions you may have as this is a final sale. PayPal to confirmed addresses only is accepted. Have a great week!

A nice set of three small garnets that I bought from Uli a few years ago. One oval and the round are from the Salmon River in Idaho and the other Oval is a Pyrope Garnet from Arizona. These weren't sold as a set but thought they had a similar color and well that Made in USA thing as well. The Ovals weigh .46 and .34 and the round is a .26. Email me any questions you may have about these or any of my other listings as this is a final sale. Shipping is included and offers are of course considered so don't be shy! I accept PayPal from confirmed accounts only. Thank you for looking at my listings!

For your consideration a petite and pretty champagne/cognac/brown cognac diamond in a princess cut. It's got a lot of fire for petite stone. I would say it favors more of the cognac color and has flashes of amber as well. Email me any and all questions about any of my listings as this is a final sale. Shipping is included and I accept payment from confirmed PayPal addresses only. Thanks for stopping by!

MADE IN THE USA! This is a VERY petite .20 ct Montana sapphire from the Yogo gulch. Most of the faceted stones that come out of this area are around this size. It's a very pretty cornflower blue color and has not been treated. It was a part of several Yogos I purchased when I was in Montana in 2006. Email me any questions you may have about this stone as this is a final sale. Shipping is included and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thank you for looking at my listings!

The last (for now) of the "what color is that" spinels. It was sold to me as gray and it is in certain lighting but in others it comes up as gunmetal gray or even a kool aid purple or grape jelly purple. It's a very good clarity stone and a one where you can turn it around in the gem case and it the color may slightly change on you, which can drive some people (me) a little bonkers when I think I have the color pinpointed. Email me any and all questions you have about this stone as this is a final sale. Shipping is included and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thank you for looking and have a great week!

A Oval (big shocker) cut 3.62 tungsen Mogok spinel is being offered. Color wise its all over the place with flashes of gray, blue and purple. It's a big stone and a good VVS-VS clarity one. This is one of those stones that is frustrating to pin down a color to, kind of like that stupid dress photo everyone on the internet was trying to guess the color of last year! Please email me any questions you may have about this stone. Shipping is included of course and I am open to offers as usual. This is a final sale and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thank you!

I'm parting with some more spinels this evening (sniff, sniff) and the the first one is a blackish/greyish/purplish cushion cut spinel. The color description is weird but when I purchased it was sold to me as a light black/smoky gray, which it is, but in some lighting it can look light charcoal, a grapeish purple or a silvery gray color. It's a pretty stone and deserves a life outside a gem box in a safety deposit! Feel free to email me any and all questions you have about this stone. All sales are final and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thank you for looking at my listings!

Another oval, but this one is a little more stretched. A 1.38 super cool Andalusite. This stone is very clean and has shades of olive green, orange brownish pink and yellow. It's a fun stone to move around as the light picks up a different color each time you twist the gem box. Please email me any questions you have as this is a final sale. Thank you so much for looking. I accept PayPal to confirmed addresses only! Much more to come!

Up for consideration is a 1.88 Oval (of course) Iolite that is a purple/blue. The stone as all the ones I am listing, has never been set into jewelry. The stone favors purple and can look like an amethyst. Email me with any questions you might have, all sales are final and I accept PayPal through confirmed addresses only. Thanks!
