So I went on a bender for a while buying sapphire eternity bands and it's time to put this one back into circulation. This is a true estate piece from the 50s or earlier. It was well loved by its original owner, and it shows. The 14k band is a size 6 and ~3mm wide with delicate milgraining all around. The sapphires are round cut and a lovely medium blue color, they sing in sunlight which unfortunately we haven't seen much of lately! They also show their age. Some are lightly chipped, others are quite worn down. Despite the age, the band wears beautifully. It's very solidly built and the wear on the stones is not obvious from 12 inches away. A great starter band or 'just for fun' piece. Price is for the band only. The solitaire is listed separately. Price includes shipping to the US. Please ask questions before buying; all sales are final unless the item is grossly misrepresented. I'm Mercoledi on PriceScope.

Gorgeous 6mm seafoam blue Portuguese cut tourmaline set in a lovely sterling silver 'lotus' setting from Heart of Water Jewels. The stone was purchased from Rick Martin and is a stunner, the flash and glow are just incredible and not represented accurately in the pictures, it just dances. It's set in a size 6.25 sterling setting custom made in Thailand. The piece is beautiful and tranquil. More pictures can be found in the Etsy listing for the setting: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/19701909 It pains me to list this one, but it doesn't get much wear and deserves to be worn! Vendor description of the stone: Rick Martin at ArtCutGems.com: Namibian blue-green tourmaline, when available, comes close in color to the “neon” hues of famed Paraiba but sells at a much lower price. What this little gem may lack in “glow” it makes up for in brilliance. Weight approx. .74 ct., calibrated to 6 mm. for standard setitings. Fine modified Portuguese cut and much better than eye clean clarity. No treatment of any kind. Price is for the tourmaline ring only, other rings shown are listed separately. Price includes shipping to the US. Please ask questions before buying; all sales are final unless the item is grossly misrepresented. I'm Mercoledi on PriceScope.

Parcel of natural green garnets, well matched for size and color. These are a bright grassy green. The cut isn't perfect, but the color is great and really pops, even for being smaller stones. These would make a great by-the-yard or by-the-inch style necklace or bracelet! 14 stones, ~4.5mm/3mm iirc (I'm happy to double check that) Price includes shipping to the US.

Lovely little vintage ring. I bought the setting off of Ruby Lane a few years back and set a 4.4mm natural sapphire in it. The sapphire is a rich blue that shifts to purple in incandescent light. It's impossible to photograph on these dreary winter days, but is a lovely stone. The setting is 18k wg which has been rhodium dipped. It's a size 6.5, but the band is so narrow I think it fits more like a true 7. It has a beautiful pierced lyre motif on the sides, a little different from all the floral filigree out there. Price is for the sapphire solitaire only, the band is listed separately. Price includes shipping to the US.

Classic white gold four prong setting. Originally held a 5.5mm round stone. I bought this thinking I'd set something in it someday, but it just hasn't happened. Would make a lovely solitaire! The band is about 2.5mm. The ring is a size 6. Price includes shipping to the US. Please ask questions before buying; all sales are final unless the item is grossly misrepresented.

Lovely art nouveau style white gold earrings set with OMCs. These stone are little fireballs and the swing of the earrings accentuates the effect, they flash at the slightest movement! I acquired these from another PSer last year and am looking to pass them on. As much as I love them, I have something else in mind. The stones are ~1ctw. One has a visible inclusion centered over the open culet which minimizes its visibility. Both stones have abrasions thanks to their age, and one has a very sizable chip. Somehow it's the chipped one that performs the best, but I want you to know what you're getting. I've tried to capture the chip in the pictures and am happy to provide more if requested. The flaws are in no way visible when worn, I get compliments on these all the time. Price includes shipping to the US. Please ask questions before buying. I will allow a 72 hour evaluation period; after that time all sales are final. Buyer will pay all return shipping costs. I'm Mercoledi on PS.
