This is a 0.88 ct / 6.02 mm Tsavorite garnet set into a platinum and diamond (tcw 0.45ct, G-H VS) pendant. I just had the prongs refined into claw prongs by David Klass. I call this my "unicorn" pendant because I had to search for *so* long to find the central tsavorite in this pendant. I had joked that finding a 6 mm round, well-cut, un-windowed, medium green tsavorite must be akin to finding a unicorn based upon how long my search took. I finally found my unicorn thanks to Bruce Bridges, who said it was one of his top gems in this size range. I had it set in this halo pendant which goes super-well with my IDJ floral halo earring jackets. The diamonds are super sparkly and eyeclean. This pendant makes a statement on the neck and the tsavorite always looks green in all lighting conditions. In bright sunlight, it can look nearly neon. Indoors in diffuse lighting, it's traffic light green. In dimmer lighting, it's still green and never blacks out. I never thought I'd let this go, but I'm needing the cash so I'm looking to see if there's another good home for this out there :) I have this priced lower than the amount I put into it myself, and tsavorite prices have gone a bit nuts in the time since I purchased the center stone. I've seen some round tsavorites of similar size and color going for close to 2k without a setting!

Selling a precision-cut 1.15ct 6.36mm Round Tanzanian pinkish-purplish spinel. Eye clean but has some typical tiny inclusions when louped. Shown in a temporary ring holder (not included - it's a loose stone) Being spinel, it's a total sparkle bomb! A bit of a shifty one in terms of color. It's typically a lovely lilac purple without too much gray, as many of these stones have. Indoors under artificial lights, it leans more pinkish-purplish. The pictures were taken outdoors at around 6pm (so indirect natural light), and I also took a video under artificial lights so you could see the color in both lighting conditions. These are all straight from my iPhone with no editing. See video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un3jiN56fDI I prefer payment via Paypal friends and family (or Venmo) but am happy to invoice you as "goods" if you will cover the extra 5% Paypal fees.

This listing is for a 1.80ct 7.88mm untreated round seafoam (bluish-green) tourmaline from Mozambique. The color is a bit shifty, but always along the seafoamy spectrum ... more overtly bluish-green outdoors and more misty green under artificial light. I'm including a pic of it in the *worst* possible lighting; it usually tends more bluish than that. The stone is eyeclean but has some small inclusions typical of tourmaline when viewed under a loupe. All pics and video taken straight from my iPhone with no editing. The video is probably the most accurate view of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Sknvc0z00 It is currently set in a 4 prong pendant setting which I believe is made of Argentium silver although I cannot find a marking to confirm this. I personally do not like the pendant setting, as the stone sits up too high in it for my preference, so it is up to the buyer whether they'd like me to ship this to them as a pendant, or whether they'd like me to have my jeweler remove the stone from the setting first and then ship it loose. The chain pictured is not included, but could be for $15 additional. I prefer payment via Paypal friends and family (or Venmo) but am happy to invoice you as "goods" if you will cover the extra 5% Paypal fees. Shipping will be via USPS.

I am listing some Russian Demantoid garnets that I have leftover from one of my projects. (I'm tara3056 on Pricescope) Two of these are being sold as a pair, and the other two will be sold individually. All of the stones have lots of the bissolite hair-like inclusions that these stones are famous for. They still sparkle plenty and are not visible to the naked eye. All pics and videos are straight from my iPhone with no editing. Pair A: 3.2mm matched pair, Russian origin, untreated, 0.32tcw, nice apple green verging on tsavorite color, characteristic horsehair inclusions, very sparkly. $300 (Yvonne is currently selling a smaller pair of equal coloration for $378) Stone B (SOLD): 0.27ct, 3.8mm, Russian origin, untreated, characteristic horsehair inclusions, bright but a lighter and softer green than the others, which is reflected in its price. $135 Stone C (SOLD): 0.38ct, 4.4mm, Russian origin, untreated, characteristic horsehair inclusions, very good color - quite close to tsavorite green indoors or in low light, changing to a brighter, almost neon-y color in indirect sunlight. $475 Video of stones taken outdoors around 6pm (indirect natural light): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp-Ibo8M4ps Video of stones taken indoors under artificial light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJG1_V5XhqI I prefer payment via Paypal friends and family (or Venmo) but am happy to invoice you as "goods" if you will cover the extra 5% Paypal fees.

This listing is for a 1.91ct 7.97mm rich blue / teal untreated round tourmaline from Nigeria. While it is eyeclean even up close, there are a fair number of inclusions typical of this material that are visible under a loupe, though they do not affect the sparkle whatsoever. This color is fairly rare in tourmaline, as it is very much BLUE with a hint of green, not vice versa. It is a deep, rich blue (open c-axis though), so you have to be comfortable with darker stones. However, I'm writing this in very dim light and I can still tell that the stone is blue, not black. So while I would say that it is a pretty intense color, I wouldn't say that it actually blacks out in any lighting condition. All pics are from my iPhone with no editing, and were taken either outdoors around 6pm (so very diffuse natural light), inside by a window, or, for the last picture, indoors in fairly dim artificial lighting. It is a very nice size and will fit in a 8mm calibrated setting. It would look lovely in a prong setting with an open gallery to maximize its color. Shown in a temporary ring holder (not included; will be shipped loose.) I also took a video earlier in the day in brighter sunlight (around 4:30pm): https://youtu.be/OubPMegaKEs I prefer payment via Paypal friends and family (or Venmo) but am happy to invoice you as "goods" if you will cover the extra 5% Paypal fees.

I am listing some Russian Demantoid garnets that I have leftover from one of my projects. (I'm tara3056 on Pricescope) I only have the matched pair remaining now (stones B and C have sold). The stones have the bissolite hair-like inclusions that these stones are famous for. They are not visible to the naked eye and these stones are total sparkle-bombs.

I collected Russian Demantoids for many years, until I had enough of similar quality and color to be able to create a very fine and special pendant (picture attached). Not all of the stones could fit into the pendant, so I sold off all of the extras except for these remaining 2 loose stones. These demantoids are every bit as beautiful as the ones selected for my pendant, and are therefore among the best I've ever seen. They are truly breathtaking, and no picture can really do them justice, in the intensity of their color, nor in how much they sparkle. I have no doubt the buyer will be very pleased. They are not cheap, but when I've compared them to the price/quality of others I've seen listed on etsy and instagram, these are superior. They both have the classic horsehair inclusions, easily seen via a loupe, but the inclusions do not negatively impact the sparkle. The smaller of the two is a 0.27ct / 3.8mm round, whereas the larger is 0.38ct / 4.4mm round. They are quite well-matched, and both are gorgeous, though there are negligible differences. The smaller of the two is an ever-so-slightly more intense green than the larger one, and with a bit more glow from the inclusions. The larger is a teensy bit more sparkly and brighter, but again, these differences are very minor. You can't go wrong with either one. Asking $550 for the 0.27ct and $900 for the 0.38ct, or $1400 for both. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a charity working in Ukraine. Shipping via USPS Registered Mail is included. US Buyers only, please. Payment via Venmo or Paypal Friends and Family (or you can cover the additional fees to sell as "goods") All sales final. Thanks for looking!
