- 0.89ct Vivid Cotton Candy Pink Mahenge Spinel from GranGem (6.00x4.88x3.63). I paid $1177 for this stone back in 2020. https://imgur.com/a/8ozfg0L I also included a photo of the original listing from GranGem. It’s a better color representation than my photo and includes an important description of the gem. “purchased the rough that this Mahenge spinel was cut from in 2007. This is not the typical color the region is known for, it is a cotton candy pink color with a very strong saturation. the clarity on this is beyond loupe clean and is cut into a precision cushion that measures 6x5mm.” Offers are welcome Price includes worldwide FedEx Shipping.

Sadly, my SO has never actually worn this ring outside of the house. While she absolutely loves it on its own, she has reluctantly come to terms with the fact that it doesn’t play well with the rest of her (more modern) look. We are toying with the idea of converting it into a pendant, but decided to see if any of our PS & LT friends might be interested before we put any more work (and $$$) into it. It was crafted by an Armenian goldsmith and the workmanship is top-notch.

I do know that this is not typical Mogok color and that it does not have the sulfer inclusions common to (but not ubiquitous in) Mansin material. Someone asked if it could it be Namya, but I would have no way of confirming it if it were. In the end, all we really know is that this is a Jedi Spinel from Burma. What we do know is that it has undeniably vivid color, very strong fluorescence and amazingly effective cutting. The brilliance, light return and play of light is just astounding. This one really dances…and it’s over 2ct. So yes, this is a very rare find.

https://imgur.com/a/amudrTZ I absolutely love this ring! The Center stone is an utterly electric unheated, violet sapphire weighing 1.56ct in a perfectly executed emerald cut. Excellent clarity, vivid UV fluorescence and no treatments! It is set in 10.90 g of 18k palladium white gold (so no need to worry about nickel allergies!) and crafted by an Armenian goldsmith with incredible, crisp geometric lines and a deeply brushed finish that will age like an old pair of blue jeans. The stone is accented by 2 small step cut trapezoid lab grown diamonds. It’s an elegant design with spectacular craftsmanship… But I just don’t wear it very often. Honestly, I have way too many rings. lol! I’m letting Consider considerably less than what I paid. Hoping it finds a good home. I’m also open to selling the stone loose if I can fetch a reasonable price for it. It comes with a GIT mini certificate certifying that it is both natural and unheated.

Beautifully matched set of well-cut, clean round Teal-Gray Spinel set in basic Stuller Platinum settings. I have well over $1000 invested in the earring & pendant set and I'm asking $500 for it. https://imgur.com/a/cITpgYx https://imgur.com/a/V3H62tm The earrings are just over 1ct each and the pendant is just over 2ct (I forget the precise weights). The diamond-cut 18k palladium white gold chain from Italy and the rest of the settings are all coated in black rhodium, beautifully complimenting the spinel's color. It is set up as a 14 3/8" choker-style to sit right at the pit of the throat. The earring posts have very slight bends in them (as is typical for used earrings) but they are perfectly functional and there are no other signs of obvious wear. The ring is also a 1ct round with slightly more intense teal color but still a good match. It is a custom design cast in platinum with a black rhodium finish. This has some minor scratches on the shank from wear, but nothing obvious. It is currently a size 51 (US 5.5). I have over $500 in the ring. I am asking $300. https://imgur.com/a/vFRMXsw Feel free to make me an offer for either the earring/pendant set and/or the ring, and don't be shy! Also, feel free to ask for more photos or videos!

The sapphire is a 1.18ct heated (uncertified), beautiful cornflower blue emerald-cut from Sri Lanka. It faces up at 6.78x5.28mm (I can't measure the depth because of the setting) and is quite clean, save one eye-visible inclusion that is currently covered by a prong. The trillion diamonds are NATURAL F color VS+ and weigh (I believe) 0.20tcw. The baguettes are lab-grown diamond. https://imgur.com/a/1-18ct-cornflower-blue-sapphire-ring-td6bVJT The setting is from Stuller and is made of their "continuum silver" (harder and more tarnish-resistant) and it is rhodium-plated. It was originally a size 6 but re-sized to a 5. Due to the shape of the head, the shank is not perfectly round after the resize. Regardless, the sapphire and natural diamond trillions alone are worth more than the $650 price tag - and you'll get a couple of LGDs and the setting for free. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests for additional photos & videos. $650 Includes global FedEx Shipping

AIGS called this a “Vivid pink Red Ruby” with indications of heating. To me, it’s a vivid pink sapphire, but who am I to question the lab? It’s a Burmese origin, that was not requested on the certificate. Since it was certified, I re-cut it from a windowed 1.01ct oval to 0.63ct round. It’s not a high value stone, so I didn’t bother to get it recertified. https://imgur.com/a/7AHpFFq The color is quite vivid (as is the fluorescence), well-cut and it’s better than eye-clean.

https://imgur.com/a/REKrgij ***This is considered "Trade Ideal" color. This is 0.92ct Thai ruby with the most wonderful wonky cutting that performs absolutely beautifully! It faces up much larger than your average 1ct oval (6.29x5.47x3.42) and yet has full brilliance and ZERO window. I don't know how it happened, but the cutter clearly knew what s/he was doing! It has beautiful crystal and is as red as red gets. This is true Pigeon Blood color (termed Vivid Red per the AIGS certificate). The certificate (from 2018) did not request origin, but one of the instructors at GIA Bangkok positively identified it as Thai origin, heated with minor borax residue per inculsions similar to the attached photo. Fluorescence is moderate (typical for Thai ruby), there is a cavity on the pavilion which is not visible face-up and the color is red, Red, RED!

Please see my other listing for the loose stone to see what it looks like in Bangkok. There is a thing about Sapphires, where they appear lighter as you move towards the equator and darker as you move towards more distant latitudes. As a result, many people buy Sapphires in Bangkok only to find that they are too dark when they get home. I suspect something like this is happening with this sapphire as the original listing photos and CVB’s photos show a deeper color than the ones that I took. Please note that the ring is in a brushed finish and the original CVB photo on Instagram was taken before that finish was applied. Ships worldwide via FedEx.

2.33ct intense cornflower blue sapphire from Sri Lanka. Very lively, bright and sparkley. It even shows some dispersion in spotlighting and direct sunlight.Beautiful, tall crown and serious brilliance. 7.34 × 6.00 x 5.89mm (stone dimensions) traditional heat treatment only. 14k nickel-free white gold & 0.05ct E/VS natural diamonds. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4hy-nwS9_s/?igsh=MTRodm81bm80Ym1paw== https://www.instagram.com/p/C4fFcNESPoB/?igsh=MTdqd3p0eXQwc29vYw== Everything about the stone is perfect except the clarity...and even that is pretty darn good. There is the tiniest chip near one of the prongs, 2 bubbles under the table and a small linear inclusion under the crown. 95+% of the time it is totally eye-clean. In the horizontal position, when the light hit it just right just right, those inclusions occasionally catch the light and become eye-visible. That's part of why I set it as a pendant. In the vertical position, the imperfections are never visible. The color and cutting are so good however, it makes the stone totally worth it IMO. It is not certified, but I guarantee Lotus would give it a designation of "Intense Cornflower Blue" (Cornflower blue with Intense saturation) - which is about the most desirable color you can find IMO. Certification would take about a week +/- and costs around $120. The cutting is just exceptional with a nice puffy crown and amazing brilliance as well. So, in the end, I suppose it boils down to how important it is to you that it is 100% eye-clean in the horizontal position. If you were to set it in a ring, you'd almost never see the inclusions, but there might be a few occasions where they could catch your eye. The imperfections keep the price down as well. If it were perfectly clean, this would easily be $2500/ct. I captured the inclusions with my loupe + camera so you can see precisely what I'm referring to: https://imgur.com/a/SLJvhLo Price is the same whether I sell it loose or set.

The whole suite is awesome. Great for an antique-inspire project. I have CADs if it interests you.

One of my Sri Lankan friends gave me a heads up on a "special color" and "unusually vibrant" ~2.5ct sapphire. It was uncertified, but we knew it was natural and unheated. The origin was a mystery however. The color was crazy though. We agreed that it didn't look like a typical Sri Lankan, Madagascar, Winza or Burmese Pink. We were stumped. Whatever. The color is amazing, so I snapped it up. We sent it to the lab and, to both of our surprise, it came back as Tanzania. Suddenly it dawned on me: it reminds me of Mahenge Spinel. It would make sense since spinel and sapphire typically co-occur in the same mine. I've just never heard of such a beast. This color is just mind blowing. It’s not like any pink I’ve ever seen before…and the fluorescence is simply off-the-charts! It’s one of my all-time favorite stones. Not excited about parting with it, but I need to fund the clinic more than I need gems right now. Check out the videos here: https://imgur.com/a/0o4pz81 2.52ct, unheated, eye-clean (there is a tiny threadlike inclusion under the crown facets and a tiny cavity on the pavilion just below the girdle visible only with a loupe). Comes with a certificate from London gem lab. Includes Worldwide FedEx Shipping
