I bought these bracelets & ring from Eklada Jewelry in December 2021. They’re quite stunning with excellent craftsmanship and super clean metalwork, but have barely been worn and just sit in the jewelry box. The stats are in the enclosed certificates. Gold bracelet is 8.21g of 20.5k yellow gold and 16 natural E/VVS Ideal-cut diamonds (0.67tcw) and 6.5” in length The matching ring is 3.33g of 20.5k yellow hold with a 0.14ct E/VVS natural ideal-cut diamond in size 61 (US 5.5+) and sizable. White Gold Bracelet is nickel-free 18k Palladium white gold weighing 7.76g with 0.66tcw E VVS natural ideal-cut diamonds and 6.5” long I paid about $1600 for each bracelet in 2021, but asking $1400 each and open to offers I Paid about $800 for the matching 20.5k gold ring, but I’m asking for $550 and again open to offers. I would prefer to sell the YG ring & bracelet as a set and asking $1850 for both if they go together. They have been worn but are in essentially new condition and super clean. The ring was just repolished. If anyone is interested, I’d be happy to try getting better photos & videos. https://youtu.be/rsqX4ZisS1M?si=ZKHVI5SxylFRpUIi https://youtube.com/shorts/prvZAaWlsHY?si=hzaMoRgnRoTwkjR2

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.

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. The ideal diamond optics and icy-white color are a constant fireworks show and the clean, saturated, beautifully cut red spinels sparkle like mad. Here are the stats: - 1.10 E VS1 August Vintage Old Mine Cushion (LGD) 6.36x6.33x4.09mm with GIA report. https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=6227965014 - 1.48tcw Natural, untreated Royal Red Spinel (10 x 3mm diamond-cut rounds) - 18k yellow gold - Size 7 (totally sizable) - No signs of wear

This is a 2.13ct AIGS Certified Jedi Spinel VIDEO: 2PM overhead sun https://imgur.com/a/kGhEx3J 10:00 am https://imgur.com/a/3BUd5z0 7:00am Indirect Sun https://imgur.com/a/7-00am-with-no-direct-sunlight-xT2BUOc Various forms of natural & mixed light (Macro shots) https://imgur.com/a/wdVsisl Indoor "warm white" LED lighting at night (2nd hand shot) https://imgur.com/a/VO803KV Incandescent lighting at night: https://imgur.com/a/J2Sr0kJ The certificate clearly states that this stone meet's AIGS strict criteria for the "Jedi" designation. They only note the origin as “Myanmar." I do not have any knowledge of which mine it originated from. 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. It has a number of transparent inclusions (bubbles, appetite crystals and a feather under the table)that are not visible under normal viewing conditions. The inclusions are easiest to detect when a light source illuminates the gem from the side or from behind - conditions that would be all but eliminated once set. This one was $2675/ct ($5698.50 for the stone) I’ve reduced it to 2.13ct @ $2300/ct = $4899 (shipped with AIGS certificate) in hope of a quick sale. I cannot go lower than this as I am already selling at a loss. Scan the QR code to verify the certificate and see a horrendous video of the stone from AIGS. If you don’t want to download the AIGS App, here’s the video: https://imgur.com/a/khGOnsi If you are from the PS community, be sure to let me know! ***The 2.47 red spinel is currently out getting a GIT certificate and *may* become available for sale. It is a very rare, pure stoplight red with no significant modifiers (and still fluoresces). The photo and videos skew it a little orange, but that is not the case in real life. This may be the purest red I've seen in over 25 years of hunting for spinal across the globe - and it has a nice, glassy body that is 100% eye clean. (Just an FYI...ask about it if you are interested)

https://imgur.com/a/kGhEx3J https://imgur.com/a/7-00am-with-no-direct-sunlight-xT2BUOc https://imgur.com/a/Fb2HOcx The other stone I have listed is a super clean 1.24ct red spinel from Vietnam. It was sold to me as pinkish red, but I don’t see any pink at all. It looks like a very open, medium-toned red with maybe a tiny hint of orange to my eye. It has strong red fluorescence and remarkable crystal. I believe this color is often referred to as “flame spinel” https://imgur.com/a/VO803KV This one is $1000/ct ($1240 for the stone) and measures 6.43x4.94x4.50mm It is not certified, but I could have it certified I f you would like. I don’t have any photos or videos in natural light just yet, but I’ll try to get some up as soon as the weather cooperates. It’s been pretty rainy lately. Feel free to ask any questions you like on it either of these stones.

It boasts a gorgeous, glassy body, open tone, a super pure red hue and it faces up totally eye-clean - save one tiny, surface-reaching inclusion all the way at one corner (it looks like a tiny abrasion). You really have to search to find it, probably wont notice it without a loupe and it is positioned perfectly to be covered by a prong. Under a loupe, you'll find a few colorless, bubble-like inclusions that are mostly visible on the pavilion side. It has moderate fluorescence (not super strong like the pink stones and not fully quenched like the dark ones from Mokok) Certified natural and untreated by GIT. *I just added a photo & 2 videos of the red spinel in a box with other color gems (cool morning light from a north-facing window). The wonky oval two rows beneath the spinel is a “reference color” pigeon-blood Burmese Ruby. ***NOTE: Spinel tends to be brighter than ruby but ruby can attain a higher saturation than spinel. That is, the color concentration per cubic millimeter of material is higher in this Ruby than it is in this Spinel. HOWEVER, since visual color saturation in gems is a function of BOTH concentration of color per cubic millimeter AND the length of the path of light through that material however, the size and depth of this spinel allows it to face up with very saturated color. I hope that makes sense!
