-10 x 8.36 x 5.47mm

-Beautiful luster
I'm de-stashing a bunch of stones I've collected on my gemstone journey. This is a native cut spinel I got via the GemRock Auction site.
Here's a video: https://goo.gl/JEZW9S . The spinel is the big guy. I'm putting the other stones up here as well as a bunch of opals, so please take a look!
Asking $85 via Paypal to the US. I'll ship to Canada for $90 USD but international will be more tricky, although I'm willing to ship -- cost will be $80 + cost of shipping. I ship within three business days and will provide tracking for domestic shipments.

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.
Please note that the sale is final as I'm a private seller

Size 7.5 and super-comfortable to wear. Asking $175 and that includes shipping with insurance.
Sales are final. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you need and also email me at: megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dotcom]

This amazing Peruvian opal positively GLOWS. The stone is enchanting, and Peruvian opal of this quality if rare. As a bonus, it's faceted to make setting easier. The only flaws are a couple of brownish spots on the bottom.
The stone weighs 4.87 cts. and measures 12.4mm x 14mm x 6.3mm.
I always pictured this as a split shank statement ring with a tiny halo surrounding it or as an amazing pendant. To that end, I even had diamondzone quote a price for the setting I imagined in 10K gold with the halo - $265 -- which you can see here in different dimensions: https://goo.gl/S3nwxt.
Also, here's a video of the stone: https://goo.gl/4syQ56

This antique ring is such a gorgeous and unique find.
This ring was advertised as 14K yellow gold, but it looks like rose gold to me.
The ring features a smooth shank with a beveled shoulder and six heat treated prong-set blue sapphires measuring 2.00mm surrounding a row of five round seed pearls measuring 1.80mm. The total approximate weight of this ring is 1.30 dwt. Stamped upon the interior shank is “14K.”
The ring is lightweight and very comfortable.

A gorgeous 10k yellow gold stickpin from the Art Nouveau era featuring a square sugarloaf cut moonstone -- approx. 6mm -- with striking blue flashes centered in a gold circular mount. PERFECT for ring conversions or just remove the moonstone which would cost much more than my asking price for this quality if bought in current market.
The circular moonstone element measures approx 11.5mm in diameter. The sugarloaf cut moonstone throws off deep blue flashes, and is absolutely stunning.
Length of pin is approx 2.5", comes with a base metal pin cover. Obscured stamp on back of pin stem, tests for 10k.

NOTE: The first picture shows two hydrangea and my ring has ONLY ONE. The last photo shows a stack of the same model of my ring except with peridot plus the hydrangea bud ring. You can see a ton of examples of variations via this dropbox link: https://goo.gl/OX4ixZ
I have THREE gorgeous Patrick Irla (https://www.etsy.com/shop/PatrickIrlaJewelry) rings made of nickel-free sterling silver and 18kt, plus one with blue topaz. Ring sizes are 6.5.
They are all handmade by Irla, an award-winning jeweler who sells on Etsy and in his Michigan store.
You can buy either one, two, or all three! For all three, the price is $175. If you buy individually, the two non-gemstone rings are $50 each, and the topaz is $100. The single ring prices are half off what I paid, and I have barely worn them.
You can see the current listings on his page here with full descriptions and original pries:
-Split bezel topaz ring with single hydrangea (although the main stone is peridot, everything else is the same -- measurements, materials, processes, etc):
https://goo.gl/7933Fm

Sales are final so please send any questions before buying. I'll ship USPS first class with tracking. If you are international, subtract $4 from the total price and I'll add the actual shipping amount plus $1 for shipping supplies.
Payment via Paypal. You can pay either by "friends and family" or "goods and services." Goods/services provides you greater consumer protection but comes with a 3 percent surcharge, so I just ask that if you use that method, please pay the surcharge amount.
You can also reach me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dot] com, which is preferable to LT's messaging system that often doesn't deliver messages >:-(

This transparent crystal opal from LR in Australia is a bright little dynamo that packs a huge punch of color in a gorgeous fire flash type pattern. This stone just lights up with amazing colors! 4 out of 5 in brightness, very bright
On Australia's rating system, this stone is considered an N7 in body color.. It rates 4 out of 5 in brightness.
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. I bought it directly from a second generation opal cutter in Australia. The same guy has cut and polished all of my stones 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 videos (three -- yes, three!) of it:

Bought from the inimitable Miklos Brezanszky, and passing it on to another opal lover. If you know Miklos' work, you know it's -- without fail -- perfection. This SOLID (no doublets or triplets here... ever!) opal is no exception:
An AMAZING 1.81 ct. dark opal from Australia's Lightning Ridge glitters with all colors but especially red and secondarily, blues. I absolutely LOVE this stone, but am going through a divorce - ugh!
Everything about this opal is superb from the cut to the polish to the backs of the opals. I bought it directly Miklos, a second generation opal cutter in Australia. He has cut and polished all of my stones and after doing the opal go-round buying from different sellers, I won't ever buy from anyone/anywhere else.

-The size of the stone is 11 x 7 mm.

-As always, the stone looks *so much better* in person
-Please look at the Dropbox folder with a ton of pictures (the nice close-ups were taken by Miklos):

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. It’s best to also email me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dotcom].

I am selling TWO spessartite garnets custom faceted by Allyce Kosnar from Kosnar Gem Co. The smaller is $125 and the larger is $250. These are great prices for gorgeous, custom faceted spess, and I'll hang onto them if they don't sell.
The smaller is an awesomely-shaped octagon shaped Mandarin color. Here's Allyce's description and video:
https://goo.gl/bnMnp7
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. Enjoy!
--
The larger is square (princess cut) and jaw-dropping. Here's the video and description by Allyce Kosnar:
Gem: Spessartine Garnet
Weight: 2.89 cts.
Size: 7.53 mm.
Color: Fiery Orange
Clarity: I
Cut: Concave Princess
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 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.

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. What I love about this ring is that it has the sparkly halo effect, but with sleek lines and hand-forged fabrication. Timeless design.
**Please use my email address megan.mckee@gmail.com as LT's messaging system is on the fritz**
Total face of the ring is about 10 mm (I don’t have a caliper to measure), and size is US 6.25/UK L 1/2
I bought this ring from a well-established eBay vendor of antique jewelry, and have examined the diamond under a loupe, and I didn’t spot any *obvious* inclusions (please note I am absolutely NOT an expert).
Again, I am not a diamond expert but I can tell you the diamonds are white, beautiful, sparkly as heck. Here are a few videos:

Up for sale is a 7+ carat moonstone that was wrapped in gold-fill wire (so easy to snip off or keep it on for a pendant) in perfect condition.
My moonstone phase is over and I don't have anything planned for this stone which would either make the most statement-y of all statement rings or a killer pendant.
The blue adularescence on this is absolutely divine and the perfect, most desirable shade of moonstone blue -- a saturated medium tone. Stone is transparent
Price includes shipping to the US. International - $15 shipping. Final sale.

-You can use goods/services OR family/friends
-If you use goods, please pay the 3 percent fee Paypal charges

I’ve attached photos in a few different lighting situations – in the window with overcast skies light, sunlight, indoors with no direct light. This is a darker gray, which gives a chic, modern look. (Please excuse any fingerprints!)

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.

Vintage size 7 beautiful sapphire ring in 14K white gold. The center sapphire is a natural (don’t know if it’s been heated) deep blue 1.77 ct stone that measures 6.9 mm. The stone has four sets of double prongs which adds to the ring's beauty.
The sapphire is flanked by two round diamonds and four baguettes of excellent color and clarity with a total approx. .30 ctw.
This ring would make a *spectacular* engagement ring -- I was going to use it, but am going the custom route instead. I felt like a super-star when I was trying it out (cheesy and maybe sad but totally true). Easily re-sizable.
Photos taken under multiple lighting conditions -- in the sun, under incandescent, indoors without direct light.

**All other gems pictured are for sale, too. I just need to post them: octagon spess, green tourmaline trillion, and lavendar-silver spinel trillion. Feel free to reach out if they call to you.**
Oh, dear mint tourmaline. I love you and I love your color but having my planned custom e-ring made ain't cheap, so I've got to let you go. I sooooo know you'd look amazing in rose gold. Or maybe white with some colorful accent stones.
But it's time for a new home. A new home that will use your 2.07 cts of gorgeous color for either gazing or setting. I know I've looked upon you time and time again and wished there was some way I could make you into something. Unfortunately, I don't know your height and width but you are a nice looking oval of fantastic proportions. And your price? Don't worry -- you'll be bought.
~~This stone was sourced from Chris Auletta.

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. You could do so many things with it as is and the stone would be gorgeous in jewelry. Or you could send it to be re-cut into your dream shape. Just think of it!
This puppy weighs in at a massive 3.66 cts. and measures 10mm x 8.36mm x 5.47mm.

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. You will NOT be disappointed by this American beauty.

price: $250
Weight: 1.05 cts
Dimensions: 5.85 x 4.4 mm (deep)
Color/tone/saturation: Deep golden yellow with hints of a greenish hue in a couple of spots depending on situation

Stunning saturated red Mogok spinel in an emerald step cut. Color has medium-dark overtones, and would look amazing as a center stone.
This stone looks MUCH BETTER in real life, as I had trouble capturing the saturation of red, and one of the photos I have make the proportions look off but let me assure you -- they definitely are not. I've listed pictures in several lighting situations. This color is a true red, and reminds me of a ruby, only prettier!

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. Let me know if you want it and I'll get you a quote!).

So, I have finally settled on an emerald for a custom project so this stunning stone is now up for grabs!
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 this stone from a reputable, decades-in-the-business jeweler who said this emerald is old-stock, and that's why it's so amazing.
Weight: 2.1 cts
Measurements: 7.8 x 6.2 x 4.2 mm
Shape: Oval
Origin: Colombia - Chivor mine
Treatment: Light oil, if anything
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: $1200/best *reasonable* offer
VIDEO is here (stone is on the TOP; note: stone on the bottom is also available -- just message me if interested; also, the video goes into slowmo mode so fast forward to get to different lighting situations): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPObpp__G24&ab_channel=MeganMcKee
Price includes shipping to the US with insurance/add $15 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! I can ask recent LT emerald buyers to attest to their experiences, specifically.And you can look up my Ebay feedback (bionicmckee).
Payment is via PayPal. Please read the following to the end :-)

This is such a stunning, glittering spinel that mostly shows silver but with a touch of lavender that is more apparent in certain lights than others. Precision cut in a modified trillion, this stone would make a beautiful, chic ring stone. I just have wayyyyy too many trillions and need to downsize.
Spinel weighs .80 cts and measures about 5.7 mm (I don't have original measurements but I'm pretty sure from memory and sight that that's about right.)
Asking $100.
Shipping to the US is $5 with insurance/add $10 for international (no insurance in that price, though. Let me know if you want it and I'll get you a quote!).

Up for sale are some gems I'm destashing.
1. First up is a Montana yellow sapphire:
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. You will NOT be disappointed by this American beauty.
Price: $250
Weight: 1.05 cts
Dimensions: 5.85 x 4.4 mm (deep)
Color/tone/saturation: Deep golden yellow with hints of a greenish hue in a couple of spots depending on situation
Treatment: Heat only
Luster: Brilliant
Clarity: Eye clean
---
2. Burmese spinel purchased from Yvonne Raley. I'm copying and pasting Yvonne's description:
Recent find of more red spinel, very open color, super bright - not the pink I had before. 2.5mm in size each, round briliant cut. I have exactly 4 pieces, price is per piece.
These gems have the most desirable color on the market, they are neon colored, bright and open, with incredible presence for their size.
Aside from ruby and alexandrite, this is one of the most expensive stones on the market (because of color).
Size: .05 carats each
Measurements: 2.5-2.6mm approximately
Shape: Round
Origin: Burma
Color: Neon red
Treatment: None
Per carat price:$800
Megan's price per gem: $30 each

Tapered baguettes
Four white, clean, beautiful tapered baguette diamonds. Unfortunately, I don't know exact dimensions but they are about 4mm long.
Price: $40/each.

Bought these from Yvonne Raley to make a half-eternity ring but changing plans, so these old stock NEON tsavorites are up for grabs.

Here are the specs:
Size: 3.43 x 1.72 x 1.20mm (approx)
Shape: Princess
Combined Weight: .47 carats
Origin: Kenya
Treatment: None
Clarity: VVS
Per carat price: $335
Megan's price for the five gems: $150

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.

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. I've been a LT-er for awhile, but just changed my user name (long story, but hiding out my gem stash from my boyfriend, LOL).

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)

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

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.
Heat treated as are most demantoids.
Weight: .65 ct
Diameter: 4.8 mm
Color: Saturated medium green with slight yellow undertones

I bought this size 7 vintage round and baguette diamond ring (.5 ct total -- estimated) last year from a well-established vintage and antique eBay seller (100K+ transactions) and have worn it occasionally since then. It's in amazing condition and is such a gorgeous ring whether you want a little sparkle, or to add "oomph" to another ring. 14K white gold
Band is 2 mm wide. Four round diamonds that measure 2.33 mm and three baguettes. Nice and white and sparkly.
I ran this through an ultrasonic cleaner just a week ago so it's pretty clean. No scratches that I can see.
Shipping is $5 in the US and $15 international.

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.

This light green tourmaline is a fascinating, beautiful light green color. Bought from Jeff Davies.
In shaded ambient light, the stone glows like it's radioactive and it appears super light in color. Most other times, you can see the distinct light green color.

I bought the last of Yvonne's 2mm Jedi spinel in January and don't need them, so I'm offering them back to the community as she hasn't had them in stock since. Since they haven't been used, I have posted Yvonne's photos from CecileRaleyDesigns on Etsy. I’ll be updating the post as I sell them. There are seven of nine left.
Cost is $32 per piece + $5 shipping. Buy one or buy them all! These are simply amazing.
Email me at megan.mckee@gmail.com. Payment via PayPal. Please add fees if paying via goods or with credit card. THANKS!
Following is copy from Yvonne:
These spinel are a recent acquisition from older Burmese stock, they are 2mm, round brilliant cut, very neon color (the most Jedi color I have seen in some time), they would look amazing in an eternity band, semi eternity, or around a yellow or orange gem in my sunflower or Camellia ring.
Size: .04 carats each
Measurements: 2.0mm calibrated
Shape: Round
Origin: Burma
Color: Neon reddish
Treatment: None

ALL PENDING EXCEPT THE LITTLE ORANGE GUY.
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.
I’ve done my best to photograph these in all types of lighting including to show the color variations.

Red Burmese spinel - 1.0 ct, oval, BEAUTIFUL
Didn’t think I’d give this baby up, but I’m not going to be setting it anytime soon. This is an absolutely gorgeous red spinel from Burma. It’s NOT the hot pink/red from Mahenge, but it’s stunning nonetheless. It’s a true red with 0 brown undertones. Sometimes it looks pure red with pinkish tones, sometimes maybe a hint of purple. In ALL lighting conditions, it’s 100 percent beautiful.

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!

This is such a beautiful Namibian demantoid precision cut by Dan Stair. Weighs allllllmost a full carat (.97 ct) and is a sizable 6 mm in width.
Like much of the demantoid supply, this stone has moderate inclusions which I don't think detracts from its beauty and sparkly wonderment. Demantoid of this color and size are rare, especially in Namibian supply. Add to the fact that it's precision-cut here in the US, and you've got yourself a real gem that I'm sad to let go. Unfortunately, I need money more than I need beauty at this time.
This stone shows different shades of green in different lighting situations. I've posted a variety of shots and linked to a very long video so you can see how it looks. At different times it's minty, straight up green green, and green with a hint of yellow. This will make a beautiful ring stone or pendant stone.

I bought this true Jedi spinel from Joe Henley. It’s absolutely stunning and amazing and all of the adjectives you can muster for the incomparable Jedi. If I had set this, I was going to do an east-west orientation with two 4 mm spess garnets from the Kosnars. Just gorgeous!
Size: 6 mm x 4.5 mm
Weight: .80 cts
Price: $695
You can see a ton of photos and a video via this link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/YmobD2k6aU5e8U4G7
Shipping is free in the US and $15 international.

Sale is final as I'm a private seller but I have lots of satisfied buyers from LT. And you can look up my Ebay feedback (bionicmckee).
Payment is via PayPal. Please read the following to the end :-) You can use either “sending to a friend” with no additional fees OR "pay for an item or service" which affords you buyer protection. I just ask that if you pay this way (item/services) OR use anything other than a bank account attached to PayPal, please cover the fees, which are 2.9 percent of the purchase price plus + $0.30.

This is a ring made of jedi spinel sourced from Yvonne Raley. The ring was made by Daniel M of 18K white gold.
Features:
-(5) jedi spinel baguette measuring 3x2 mm (set east-west)
-(6) 2 mm round jedi spinel
-size 8.5 and sizeable
-Band is 3 mm wide and 2mm thick
-Weighs 3.5 grams
-Hallmarked 18K
-$450
-Cost me significantly more than I'm asking.
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!

Hidalgo band with red enamel over 18K yellow gold. Gives a beautiful pop of color that's perfect for stacking. Size 7.75 and band is 1.9 mm wide. I find the thin band width makes it adaptable to several finger sizes. The photos I've included are from the eBay listing I bought it from just two months ago. I am selling because I am trying to downsize all of my material possessions. :-)
Excellent pre-loved condition and the red is wonderfully vibrant.
Asking $300 with shipping included to US addresses. Please add $20 for international. Venmo or Paypal accepted. If paying with Paypal, I'll send you an invoice. Sale is final. Thanks!

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.
For a *full set* of photos, check out this photo album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VZ8EADYY95Vzfu979
$300/shipped priority in US or $315 for international. Venmo or Paypal friends and family preferred, but I’ll take Paypal “goods” if you pay the fees (3 percent). No returns.
Please ensure you use my personal email as LT’s messaging system is unreliable.
Please let me know any questions or if I forgot any crucial details. Thank you so much!

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. Shipping is included in the price for US residents. International is $15.
Thanks!
