Stone was purchased from Dudley Blauwet. .99 ct (6.5x4.5mm) Pink Sapphire from Sri Lanka (Nivithigala) Marked Natural (typically means unheated but I can't guarantee). To my eye, the pink is more a rose color...perhaps the purple overtones are from the lighting/camera. Setting is marked 18k. Delicate as the total weight of the ring is under 3g. Price includes US Priority shipping. Request payment through Zelle or Paypal F&F (or can invoice for added 3%). Please ask any questions as I am a private seller and this is a final sale.

This was in a box of jewelry that belonged to my friend's mother. I took the strand to two known pearl vendors at InterGem who pronounced them as very nice classic Japanese cultured saltwater akoyas. I was told that a fair wholesale price would be $400. They have a champagne (ivory?) overtone. The clasp is marked 14K. I measured a few at random and they were approx 6mm. They are beautiful and I would buy them if I didn't already own several strands. The only negative I can see is the old knotting apparent in the enlarged pictures (They are by all means wearable but I would restring as I do knotting so those things bug me). Free US Shipping included. I am a private seller so please ask any questions as there are no refunds unless grossly misrepresented.

1.71 ct. (7.7 mm) "Cascade Triangle" faceted by Jerry Newman. It was sold to me as having a teensy tiny inclusion seen only if you brought it up close to your eye but I see two in the blown up second photo. I bought this as a "sample stone" before buying its sibling set in a ring which I LOVE (shown in the third photo and NOT for sale).

A .70 ct (5.8 mm) lavender/blue/periwinkle spinel precision cut by Dan Stair. (Second picture) This one really is a shifter. It can look more purple to lavender to bluer, or a periwinkle mix of both. The original seller mentioned that Dan said it is very possibly a cobalt spinel, but it has not been tested (nor the neon color). There is one needle like inclusion that can be viewed when turned upside down, otherwise appears to be eye clean. FREE with purchase: 1.30 ct (6.84 x 5.95 mm) Violet Spinel from Burma.

7.24x7.19x5.38. Eyeclean clarity. Cut by Dan Stair. This gorgeous can show more blue in some lights while a a tad darker in others. I've posted two photos to try and show the difference. Just purchased from beau-way, this is killing me to offer this up (at this price) given there seems to be a lot of demand for these. But I have one the same color (smaller but already set) and as a rule, don't buy duplicates...but I love mine and couldn't resist the asscher cut. That being said, since I have a similar one set, it will be awhile before I'd get to this. If this one doesn't sell, I would be just as happy. Price includes paypal and US shipping.

14kt. Approx (sold as) 2 ctw. Don't have details on the diamonds - but they are white and sparkly. (For comparison, they are shown with my diamond band from Caysie of CVB which was sold as E/F VVS+ 6pt diamonds) Bought preloved, my original intent on buying these was to wear them for awhile and then eventually split into pendants for my daughter and my son's wife (assuming he gets married). But I don't wear them and it looks to be awhile before I will have the opportunity to gift them. If they don't sell, I will eventually make them pendants as planned.

Some may recognize the photos as I recently bought this off DB. I am only selling because I bought a diamond bangle over the weekend and telling myself I shouldn't keep both. Here is what the original seller had to say (using this and her pictures with permission): "Beautiful antique Art Deco diamond filigree bracelet. 7 inches long and 8 mm wide, weighs 15 grams. stamped 14kt white gold. Has 19 links. Each link with a 3 mm transitional cut diamond in the center. All diamonds are white and eye clean and sparkly, no dark spots. safety chain with clasp." Approx. 2 ctw in diamonds. An affordable, yet substantial, bracelet with nice diamond sparkle all the way around. The bracelet can also be made smaller, if needed, by having your jeweler removing links...and has a cool older style safety clasp. The bracelet has an oxidized-like look due to the older gold and filigree which makes the diamonds really stand out. I mention this because its not obvious in the pictures (although the seller told me before I bought). In sunlight, all you see is amazing sparkle. The price is firm with Payapl F&F and include US shipping. (I will invoice if you want to pay Paypal fees). No returns as I am a private seller. I can be reached at sandygirl2003 at hotmail dot com if LT messaging doesn't work. I do love the bracelet - so much so that I took it out to post yesterday and decided to wear it instead. If it doesn't sell, then I figure fate is telling me that I shouldn't feel bad about keeping it.

3.51ct 14.1mm long East Africa Purchased on LT. The original seller bought it directly from Brad, The Gem Trader. The price is firm as I am on the fence about selling and letting fate decide whether I sell or set. I love the uniqueness of the stone and actually have a setting in mind. But it's lower on the priority list, Please note that schiller is most noticeable when viewed at an angle and at times may looks like an dark iolite stone with just hints of the schiller.

Both of these stones are gorgeous in cut and color. But I'm realizing that my passion is for natural gem stones. This may change one day as I could never afford anything like these from nature but they deserve to be set/enjoyed and it will be awhile before I get to it. I know how hard it is to catch these on Gene's drops (having lost out so many times myself) so it's only right that I give someone else a chance to own one (or both) of these beauties. The YAG stone is 4.76 ct and 9.248 mm. $295 for the YAG. $350 for the emerald. $610 for both Prices are firm and include shipping in the US. Paypal F&F (I will invoice if you pay the fees). All sales are final as I am a private seller. Because LT email is unpredictable, my email is sandygirl2003 at hotmail.com I will respond to all inquiries but it may take awhile as I am finding some messages are going to my junk mail. Prices are firm as I'll just keep them if they don't sell. The lab emerald is 2.625 carats. I don't have the dims but you can get an idea as I'm showing it with the YAG. I've also shown it with my natural Columbian emerald ring (not for sale) as a color comparison. $350

Apologies if you tried to reach me when I first posted as the email address was incorrect. On the upside, I have reduced the price :) Half eternity from Yvonne Raley. It is made of 14K white gold featuring six 2mm princess cut Burma spinels and seven 1.2mm paraiba tourmalines. It was sold to me as size 6.75 but measures closer to 7 on my ring mandrel. I bought this preloved to see how the style, which I've admired on others, would work for me. (And it's a stone combination I love). Alas, I've decided it is too dainty for my Size 8 fingers.
