$195 This stone is almost 3 cts of Australian Lightning Ridge opal. perfection. Blues and greens flash from all angles. This stone would make an amazing ring -- I love these colors with halos -- or pendant. On Australia's rating system, this stone is considered "dark" and is an N5. It rates 4 out of 5 in brightness. Weighs 2.95 cts. The size of the stone is 12.1 x 8.8 mm. Thickness of the stone is 4 mm. Slightly domed. Everything about this opal is superb from the cut to the polish to the back of the opal. I bought it directly from a second generation opal cutter in Australia. The same guy has cut and polished all of my opals and after doing the opal go-round buying from different sellers, I won't ever buy from anyone/anywhere else. As always, the stone looks *so much better* in person And my video of it: https://goo.gl/3ODxQR (Please go full screen on a non-phone to bestsee the colors) Sales are final so please ask any questions before-hand.

Thanks!** I am selling this spessartite garnet custom faceted by Allyce Kosnar from Kosnar Gem Co. for $150. It's awesomely-shaped octagon shaped Mandarin color. Here's Allyce's description: Gem: Spessartine Garnet Weight: 2.09 cts. Size: 7.23 mm. Color: Mandarin Orange Clarity: SI Cut: Octagon Brilliant Locality: Nigeria Treatment: None These beautiful Nigerian Spessartines were coming out steadily several years ago, but now seem to be a dwindling treasure. This stone has such a rich, saturated mandarin orange color that is mesmerizing. It glitters and flashes nicely, but the color is the dominant feature and just glows! It has an octagon brilliant cut that frames the material beautifully. This gem is eye catching and certainly should be the center stone of a ring. This stone was faceted by Allyce Kosnar of Kosnar Gem Co, during August 2016.

Don't have much in the way of nitty gritty details, but it's 6mm in diameter and I'm asking $25. PENDING #3 Spessartine garnet (2nd stones down of four-stone hand photos): Precision faceted by Jeff Davies. This guy measures 5.5mm and is a burnt orange. Eyeclean and sparkly. Asking $95. #4 Sphene: honestly don't know much about this gem as I bought it early in my gem collecting from Chris Auletta. It measures 5.65 mm and is a very nice example of amazing sphene. It's a yellow-y sphene with very slighy slight brown and green undertones that lights up with red and green flashes when the light hits. A fantastic example of this collector's stone.

Rose cut white zircon that is just stunning and ready to made into a perfect stacker or alternative engagement ring. Although this was advertise to me as included, I don't notice anything except disco ball beauty. Asking $180 shipped to the US, add $15 for international. Here's the description from Allyce Kosnar: Gem: Zircon Weight: 1.39 cts. Size: 6.0 mm Color: Bright White (Colorless) Clarity: I Cut: Dutch Rose Cut Locality: Cambodia Treatment: Heated Here is a brilliant Zircon! This stone just dance in hand because of the fabulous cut. This is a Dutch Rose Cut stone, which is different from a traditional Rose Cut because they are taller with an additional set of facets at the girdle. The stones are a pure white color that is radiant. They absolutely look like Diamonds and they display blue flashes of dispersion when moved. You can see the classic birefringence (facet doubling) that Zircon displays, in the photos. Zircon has a bad rap because it is often confused by many as cubic zirconia. However, Zircon is a natural mineral and chemically is zirconium orthosilicate. This stone will make a fabulous stacking style ring! Enjoy! -- Paypal only.

The Opal itself is white/orange mixed color, but the flash is multi-color. It has a harlequin pattern to the flash that is beautiful. The flash is abundant throughout the entire stone and changes every time it is moved. The custom octagon shape cut sharpens up the appearance of the color flash for an attractive look the cabochon gems just can’t produce. We have made several pieces of jewelry with these Opals, mostly pendants, and they always come out spectacular. Enjoy!"

Reduced from $250, then $175 I'm selling this absolutely stunning showstopper of a ring. I JUST had it completed by a jeweler and after wearing for a couple of days, realized it's not going to work with my other rings I wear. The setting is a mid-century, NYC-designed and made ring that used to hold a pear-shaped jade. I loved the setting -- its basket-weave design, its height, comfort, proportions, and luster -- but wanted to change up the center stone. I ordered a 1.15 carat, 12.6mm x 8mmx 2.6mm untreated, unheated Ethiopian Welo opal that was pretty translucent but became beautifully bright with a blue base when on black. I brought both the ring and opal to an esteemed local jeweler with lots of experience with opals, and asked if he could put some jewelers cloth behind the opal to make the colors "pop" but he couldn't due to the setting's design. He suggested painting it black and I agreed -- the results speak for themselves in the pictures. It glows! All the claws were replaced so the stone is tight as can be. This ring is gorgeous and in excellent condition. Just needs a new home! Comes in velvet-y black ring box :-) I've been stalking opal rings for a LONG time and can tell you this is an amazing ring for the price.

Weighs .97 cts. The size of the stone is 10 x 7.1 mm. Thickness of the stone is 2 mm. Slightly domed. Everything about this opal is superb from the cut to the polish to the backs of the opals.

Was $275! Now $225 This beautiful 14K moonstone ring features a approx. 9 x 7mm cab with an amazing silvery/blue adularescence that may or may not have a cat eye effect-- it's hard for me to tell sometimes. I CAN tell you that the color on this is pretty amazing and completely lights up the stone. The moonstone is a real performer. I'm guessing the setting is Art Nouveau based on the organic design of the band, and the claw basket is reminiscent of the belcher claws from the Victorian era. The yellow gold contrasts beautifully with the silvery-blue, making the colors pop since they are complementary on the color wheel. Ring is a size 7 and can be easily sized up or down two sizes. Cost includes shipping and insurance to the us; international will cost $14.

IT'S A FIRE SALE! (Cue Arrested Development: https://goo.gl/ilSx3w) Was $450/ Now $300! You read that right... $300! Antique 18K gold, moonstone, and diamond ring. I am in the midst of selling off moonstone rings I've accumulated. This one is so gorgeous and original, so it's a toughie to sell, but I don't wear it. Center stone measures 5.3 mm and each end stone is 4 mm. Four bright and clean “old cut” diamonds measures 2 mm. All gems are gold bead set and in great condition. Entire setting diameter is 17.5 mm. Graduated plain shank is marked 18K. It appears the center moonstone is an orthoclase moonstone (typical type used in old rings) with light gray adularescence and the ends are labradorite (high quality rainbow moonstone), but I am not sure – I’m just an amateur who loves moonstone. Ring size is 5.25 US and can be easily sized. Here's video: https://goo.gl/YmCWdp Shipping is $8 in the US and $14 for international. Sale is final, so please ask all questions beforehand.

Color: Mandarin Orange Clarity: SI Cut: Octagon Brilliant Locality: Nigeria Treatment: None These beautiful Nigerian Spessartines were coming out steadily several years ago, but now seem to be a dwindling treasure. This stone has such a rich, saturated mandarin orange color that is mesmerizing. It glitters and flashes nicely, but the color is the dominant feature and just glows! It has an octagon brilliant cut that frames the material beautifully. This gem is eye catching and certainly should be the center stone of a ring. This stone was faceted by Allyce Kosnar of Kosnar Gem Co, during August 2016. Enjoy! -- The larger is square (princess cut) and jaw-dropping.

This stone has such a rich, saturated fiery orange color that is mesmerizing. It glitters and flashes nicely, but the color is the dominant feature and just glows! This stone has been concave cut to produce fine light return and that radiant pattern of flash. Concave cutting is created with cylindrical burs that make concave cuts into the surface of the gem. The table of the stone is still flat faceted to allow for the best light return. This gem is eye catching and certainly should be the center stone of a ring. --- Gem/s will be sent via USPS and shipping is $7. WIll send tracking.

I recently bought this from a second-generation master opal cutter and polisher in Australia, and it's not "the" opal for me, although it is spectacular. The first three photos are from the cutter, Miklos, and the last two are from me. The vendor pictures and video are accurate representations of this SOLID, black opal from Australia's Lightning Ridge. Here is Miklos' video: https://goo.gl/IGh3yH Selling for $875. This is less than what I paid, and I paid wholesale price so this is an amazing price for such a dark, high-performing opal. If you are even a little bit into opals, you should grab this as I am always on the lookout for knock-out stones at great prices, and I RARELY see them, especially with a rainbow of gorgeous colors. Specs: 1.59 cts Body: N3 (black) Brightness: 4.5 out of 5 Dimensions: 12.3 mm x 8 mm; thickness is 2.5 mm. Slight dome. Please email me at megan.mckee@gmail.com in addition to using LT's messaging system. Opal will be packed securely and sent fully insured with tracking and signature confirmation. Shipping is included in price. International - please add $20 so I can get it to you asap. This is a private party sale, so please ask questions before buying as sale is final. Thank you!

Gorgeous antique Art Deco diamond halo ring in platinum. Center diamond is a 1/3 ct. European-cut surrounded by 14 diamonds measuring .01.

*please email me at megan [dot] mckee[at] gmail.com as LT's messaging system hasn't been working* I bought this somewhat recently (a few months ago) and I LOVE IT. Like LOOOOOOOVE it. But I don't have enough fingers to wear it as I will be wearing an engagement ring soon and this ring demands the center stage. This ring is from the late Victorian/early Art Deco era. The ring is crafted from solid 18k yellow gold, and has been tested as confirmation. It features three turquoise cabochons: one measuring 7mm x 5mm and two measuring 6mm x 4mm. There are four Old European Cut diamonds with an approx. carat weight of .16ct-.20ct. The turquoise and diamonds alternate across the center setting with Victorian Bezel. The diamonds are exceptional with G-H color and SI1 eye clean clarity -- no inclusions under 30x loupe. It is wonderfully preserved and in very great antique condition. A truly gorgeous antique ring. Would make a lovely engagement ring with its old world craftsmanship. North to south it measures 7.8mm. East to west 17.8mm to where the stones end. The stones sit 4mm off the finger. Very smooth on top. Wont catch on anything. The band measures 1.8mm at the bottom and 2.1mm under the shoulder. Size 7.5 and sizable. Weighs 2.47 grams. *please email me at megan [dot] mckee[at] gmail.com as LT's messaging system hasn't been working* Payment deets: Asking $425 + $10 shipping to the US/add $15 for international.

Remember when you first started collecting gemstones? This was my very first purchase, on my birthday last year (and just realizing this and thinking of how many gems I've bought and sold since then is kind of scary). It's a large, sparkly, native cut spinel that's purplish with hints of gold and reddish flashes. It has a window, but is still beautiful.

*trying to move out gemstones I won't use so reducing!* I am selling one GLOWING oval .82 ct emerald with a gorgeous saturated green color that is light/medium to medium in tone for $175. It is from the world-class Muzo mine in Colombia and has been only lightly oiled. These have slight inclusions which give the emerald their internal depth or "garden," but have no black inclusions whatsoever. ***I do not have the measurements and since I don't own a caliper, I did my best to make a homemade caliper with a ruler and gem boxes. My measurements are therefore approximate, so if you need a specific measurement, I can't promise that in any form. Weight: .82 cts Measurements: 7.5mm x5.9mm Clarity: Slightly included but no black carbon spots.

This emerald is a showstopper. A mouth gaper (is that a word?). In short, it is everything you want in an emerald: gorgeous luster and brilliance, transparency, strong saturations, and that to die for bluish green that Colombian emeralds are famous for. This one was mined in Muzo and treated only lightly with cedar oil. It positively glows. You will NOT be disappointed by this superb emerald. Such a perfect size, too. Pictures taken in different lighting conditions -- sunlight, shaded light, incandescent. The accent stones are 2.5mm red spinel from Yvonne Raley. A great complement to the stone!

What’s better than a yellow sapphire? A yellow sapphire from the good ole’ U. S. of A. This Montana sapphire weighs over a carat, measures 5.9 mm (yay, calibrated!), and shows that depth of color that’s so unique to Montana sapphires. This guy came from Eldorado Bar near Helena, Montana. If you’ve never been there, let me tell you: it is beautiful! And so is this sapphire, which is a beautiful golden yellow showing a depth of color that can appear oh-so-slightly greenish in a couple of spots depending on the lighting. This coloring is typical of Montana sapphires, and makes them unique among other varieties. The cut on this is gorgeous. The stone shines and sparkles beautifully.

**Please EMAIL me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com as LT messaging is notoriously on the fritz. So, I have been auditioning emeralds for the role of center stone in a custom ring. I now have my choice whittled down to two, and the problem is I love them both and can’t decide. I can only keep one, and because of my indecisiveness, I figured I’d let Loupe Troop help me decide. Therefore, I am offering both of my final contenders, but will be selling only one. Whichever is sold first will leave me with the emerald I’ll use. :-) Stone 1 (oval) - When I first saw this oval emerald, my heart stopped. It is the most lustrous, glowing,emerald I’ve ever seen. Tone is a Medium/medium-light bluish-green color. Excellent saturation and *superb* clarity. I imagine it would be hard to find another emerald as gorgeous as this one. I bought both of these stones from a reputable, decades-in-the-business jeweler who said these both stones came from the same old-stock batch, and that they are not oiled or treated in any way. Stone 1: Weight: 2.1 cts Measurements: 7.8 x 6.2 x 4.2 mm Shape: Oval Origin: Colombia - Chivor mine Treatment: None Color/tone/saturation: Medium/Medium-light bluish green with strong saturation. Clarity: AMAZING! A few inclusions, all non-carbon. The stone is pretty much eye clean when held in hand Price: $1800 -- The second stone, a modified kite/triangle weighs half as much as the Stone 1 but has similar finger coverage. The tone is medium to medium-dark with a greener bluish-green hue and the same amazing luster that causes pure unparalleled emerald glow. Slightly less clarity than Stone 1, but still has amazing clarity for an emerald. Stunning!! Stone 2 deets: Weight: .97 cts Measurements: 7.7mm x 6mm x 4mm Shape: Modified kite / triangle Origin: Colombia - Chivor mine Treatment: None Color/tone/saturation: Green with a tinge of blue, medium/medium-dark tone, strong saturation Clarity: Excellent (for emeralds) Price: $700 Price includes shipping to the US with insurance/add $10 for international (no insurance in that price, though.

100$+ $5 ship to US/$12 overseas I got this ruby from an antique jewelry seller on eBay for a great price so I am passing it along. Note: there is a scratch on the table, but I'm assuming that could be polished out if it bothers you. You can see it in the photos. Unfortunately, I don't have many details on this stone as it was sold to me as a ct., and I have neither a scale nor caliper. I looked through the loupe to make sure there was no evidence of fracture treatment, and there's not. Not sure if it's been heated. Color is a medium to medium-dark depending on the light. At times, the stone is super glowy and RED and at others, it looks more like the flatter and darker ruby color. With that said, the ruby came from a VERY reputable dealer with tens of thousands of sales, and spotless feedback. The shop has a return policy but I was just too lazy to return this. --- Please EMAIL me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com as LT messaging is notoriously on the fritz.

I've realized that when it comes to jewelry, my tastes change somewhat frequently, and with that said, I present you thiis rung. This moonstone ring was the ring that started my colored stone journey, and I have spent many, many hours admiring the blue flash that is absolutely amazing on this stone. I have never seen a flashier moonstone! It's not water clear, but the stone is transparent. You can easily read the newspaper through the stone! The moonstone measures about 10x8, though I don't have a caliper to measure, and it was never mentioned in the listing from which I bought it. Instead of taking new photos, I'm using older photos where the ring made guest appearances. Lord knows I have enough of those! Right now, the ring is a size 9 as I've been wearing it on my middle finger. I had it sized up from a 7, and surely it can go back down (or a bit up, too!). There's no hallmark on this so it's probably not originally from England but it is stamped "9kt" inside the band. My jeweler hypothesized that it could have originated from Ireland, as I bought it from a seller in England. Price: $175 plus $5 shipping to US, $15 international. Buyer responsible for Paypal fees (about 3% of transaction amount is incurred if paying via "goods/services" and/or a credit card) Please email me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com.

Bought this gem from Kosnar Gems, and it's yellow perfection in trillion form. I love this but am de-stashing, so anything I won't set within in the next year or two has got to go. This stone is 1.35 cts. and measures 6.5 mm. I had considered pairing it with a blue sapphire, as blue and yellow (though they have to be just the right shades!) are so classy, in my opinion. It was a bit hard to capture the full beauty and true color and refraction from this stone, but just know that it's a true yellow without any green or orange modifiers. It's a dead ringer for a yellow sapphire. Since chrysoberyl is so hardy, this will make a perfect ring stone or pendant. Price is $100 plus $5 to ship to the U.S.; $15 internationally. Buyer responsible for Paypal fees (about 3% of transaction amount is incurred if paying via "goods/services" and/or a credit card) Please email me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com rather than using Loupe Troop's messaging system.

Reduced from $700 (!!) - need this gone for much less than I paid. Need to thin the (gemstone) herd. This is the last reduction I'll make. I was about to make a custom ring with this, but then found a tsavorite trillion that will go better with the other stones I'm incorporating, so I am going to let The Most Beautiful Emerald go. Excellent luster, clarity (no carbon, only a few whitish inclusions so considered very very slightly included), saturation. This emerald is jaw. dropping. The color is so deep and transfixing that you can stare at it endlessly. Details: Origin: Columbia Weight: .97 cts Measures: 7.7mm x 6mm x 4.03mm Treatment: none Price: $375 Check out the photos - the stone is even more beautiful in real life! Please add $12 for shipping to the US with insurance/add an extra $10 for international (no insurance in that price, though. Let me know if you want it and I'll get you a quote!). Please EMAIL me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com as LT messaging is notoriously on the fritz. Sale is final as I'm a private seller but I have lots of satisfied buyers from LT!

This came directly from Russia to me, which wasn't an easy feat. It pains me to sell this due to the stone's rarity and beauty, but my focus now is on jewelry making, not buying, and I need some equipment (jewelers, I will do a partial trade for a flex shaft!). Top demantoid color that's a vivid, saturated green with just a slight hint yellowish undertones. This was mined in Poldnevaya, and has a VS clarity. Horsetail visible with loupe/magnifying glass.

**Please email me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com.** Asking $250/BRO. I LOVE these vintage moonstone earrings, but don't wear them enough, and I have to sell some things as I'm unemployed and just graduated from my masters program. These two bullet moonstone cabs that have an amazing blue adulerescence are set in an open back 14K bezel. The moonstones measure about 7mm in diameter and 8 mm in their bezels. They have rubber earring backs on there now, as I am notorious for losing earring backs :-0 I failed spectacularly in my attempts to take selfies to show off the earrings, but included some blurry shots that give you an idea of the profile and size while being worn. It's difficult and expensive to find moonstones of this quality these days, and these are ready to go as gorgeous earrings. -->One note: While I understand and support capitalism, please only contact me if you are buying these for yourself, not to flip. I had someone buy my beloved moonstone ring late last year on LT because I needed money for Christmas only to see it appear on Etsy for three times what I sold it for. Talk about a punch in the gut. So while you are free to do this, I ask that you please don't. Thanks in advance. Shipping is $5 in the US and $15 international.

Three Colombian (yes, from South America!)sapphires from Finewater Gems, all precision cut and unheated/untreated. Larger blue one: This is a gorgeous blue stone that doesn't go black/dark in any lighting situation. Measures 5.7mm and weighs .86ct. I hate to let this go but the reality is that I'm more interested in metalsmithing that gem setting at the moment. This is a "hearts and arrows" cut. $200 Two small ones: I was lucky to snag these from Finewater Gems’ special section for newsletter subscribers as soon as they went online, but I’m just not going to use them. They are two untreated sapphires: one is a purple with blue undertones and the other is a light orange. They would make superb stacking rings or a moi et toi ring or pendant, or even a groovy pair of mismatched earrings. Price for these are $60 each. PURPLE is pending payment.

TONS of photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/DKKyScvtwoVD1ayJ9 EMAIL me if interested: megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com. I bought this stunning showstopper of a ring on LT about six months ago but now need the money more than bling at the moment (wah wah wahhhh). Anyhoo, this is a top chrysoberyl that weighs over 2 cts and is enclosed in an 18K decorative pierced bezel on a sterling silver shank. The bezeled face of the ring measures 8x10 mm. The stone is that top neon yellow with hints of green that makes chrysoberyl such a desirable stone. I've tried to capture in photos how much the stone glows, but it's hard to do. All I can say is that the stone practically acts as a flashlight on your finger. The original owner said she handpicked the stone from Prima Gems in 2012, and that it weighs 2.4 cts to the best of her memory. It's eyeclean and exquisite. Ring made by DanielM, a Pricescope fave who closed his Etsy shop awhile back but made a bunch of lust-worthy custom rings before he closed. Size 6.5 but can SO easily be sized up or down by any local jeweler. The bezeled face of the ring measures 8x10 mm. Price is $400 (a stone of this quality would cost this much and that's before the cost of the setting) with free shipping to the US. If you're international, please add $14. Paypal only. Thank you!

I wanted to make this ring for years -- ever since buying the five baguettes from Yvonne -- but since the ring was made over the summer, I just haven't been wearing it. I realized I'd rather have a green eternity band! You'll want to make sure to take it off before getting your hands dirty as it's easy for dirt to take the "pop" out of the jedi. I have an ultrasonic that I throw it in when the jedi aren't looking as bright as usual. You can buy a personal ultrasonic for cheap money on Amazon. If you'd like screenshots of Yvonne's receipts/listings, I'm happy to send along after purchase for your records. Same with the Daniel M receipt. Finally, regarding payment, I accept Paypal F&F and ask that you take care of any fees OR Venmo. Venmo has no fees as far as I can tell, so I have been sweet on this payment method. I'll ship priority mail for free in the US; add $15 for international. No returns. I'm most def a private seller! **Please email me at megan.mckee @ gmail.com as LT messaging stinks sometimes. **

***Please contact me via email: megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com*** Splendid antique ring made of 18K white gold and natural medium-blue sapphire. Size 6.75. I bought this about a year ago, have loved it, and had plans to restore the engraving, but recently acquired my dream blue sapphire for a solitaire and will be acquiring my blue fix via the dream sapphire. The ring features five natural blue sapphires in a gorgeous, sparkly medium cornflower tone. Really fantastic color that never goes dark. The stones measure a tad under 3mm — I’ve tried getting in with my digital calipers to measure accurately but it’s difficult for me to do so due to the ring design. The band measures 3.88mm at the widest point on the front and 2.5mm at the thinnest on the back.

** Please email directly at megan.mckee (at) gmail (dot) com. Thank you!** I bought these on Ebay for my daughter but her ears don't like the posts so I'm re-selling them. Pair of amethysts set with diamond halos in a 14K white gold setting (stamped - see photo). Each earring measures about 5.75 mm. The amethysts measure about 3.5 mm. Note that the posts are screw backs which offer greater security. The posts are thicker than you typical earrings posts. I measured them at .9mm which is equivalent to 19 gauge wire. Typically earrings are made with 20 gauge to 22 gauge ear wires. These are your typical medium-purple amethysts. I don't have any specs on the diamonds. The amethysts are held in by three-pronged martini settings. Payment by Paypal friends and family or Venmo. I've sold many items on LT over the years and am on pricescope as woweezowee.
