Any Suzanne Kalan fans? Size 5.25 sapphire half eternity for $812.50 in "excellent" condition, retail is $2800. The stones don't look great in the photo but I expect they're better in person based on the other Suzanne Kalan pieces I've seen. It's in the Manhasset store too if anyone wants to take a look. For those who care, their website says: "All of our sapphires are 100% natural, sourced directly from the earth, and are never treated or heated in any way."

@newtojewels Love her stuff. I've seen that some of TRR pictures have really vibrant, gorgeous sapphires and some don't. I wonder if anyone else can weigh in on if there are inconsistencies within the brand.

For all inquiring, this is/was the holy grail. A necklace very similar to this one worn by Kate at the Olympics in 2012. I've always thought it was the perfect long necklace. She wore it again in NYC in 2014.

This is *baffling* to me. Why is this listed as a men's pinky ring? It's a size 7!! Looks like there could be some windowing on the sapphire, but it's very large, blue and natural. Good value for the size IMO.

First, stunning necklace! I can see why it's a holy grail.

Second, in case you don't already know this, she has different colorways in stones including two different sapphire rainbows in 18k and another one with semiprecious stones in 14k. I haven't seen a ton of pieces in person and maybe Neimans only selects the best ones or something, but every item in the sapphire "rainbow" collection I saw there had the same vibrancy as every other item in the "rainbow" collection. Same with the "pastel rainbow", "dark blue", "light blue", etc. The ring I linked is clearly a "rainbow" but of course no responsibility if I'm wrong on it looking like the other vibrant rainbows! The one on TRR is final sale, unfortunately, and nowhere close to my size or I would have considered risking it.

Would this description make you more or less likely to buy this ring? The seller sounds very motivated, anyway. Criss cuts, if anyone's looking for that.

Cursed Vintage Art Deco Platinum Diamond Ring | eBay

This lovely ring has a complex combination of curses layered on it. In addition to the binding curse, it also has a financial losses curse layered on it, which causes the wearer to lose money even in situations which should be easily profitable.
www.ebay.com

"This lovely ring has a complex combination of curses layered on it. The primary curse is a Binder that prevents the wearer from leaving the relationship or situation even if they desperately want to. In addition to the binding curse, it also has a financial losses curse layered on it, which causes the wearer to lose money even in situations which should be easily profitable. Finally, it has a joy block, which means it creates a shield around the wearer, preventing them from experiencing happiness even in the most euphoric situations.

This ring will berate the wearer and criticize every aspect of their life. Nothing will ever be enough for this ring. It is haunted by the ghost of a dissatisfied mother who took great pleasure in destroying her children’s relationships, and keeping them in her control through emotional and financial blackmail.

The perfect gift for a frenemy or if you want to punish someone close to you but don’t want them to be able to leave you.
The ring has requested a new owner and instructed us to sell it ASAP"

I don’t think phone emojis ever work on Ps. You have to select from the menu.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry reading that description. As far as buying the ring, although I'm not superstitious, it would make me nervous. I wonder if the seller got it from her mother?

Could be a bit of both. I bet the ring belonged to their mother, they had a difficult relationship with her, they really want it out of their life, AND they hope the description will cause the listing be shown around and discussed. Which, I guess I fell for that. I do like the scissors cuts, though.

I don’t know much about pearls or the value of these types of rings, but I love the looks and proportions of this ring and the price seems good. Size 8.25!

Dip your toe in by buying this “lightly cursed” ring:lol-2:

www.ebay.com

Lightly cursed small silver ring Size 4.5 with rose detail $50 | eBay

This ring has a minor curse on it that causes it to fall off and try to get lost so it can move from person to person. The positive side effect is that the energy generated by the ring can transfer to the user.

Hey! So pretty new here, hoping this is okay to ask here. My local jeweler is awesome and knows I'm into Old euro cuts. I brought a piece into her appraised today and she showed me the following diamond. This photo is under 10x magnifying lens, plus has a good bit of dust on it (all the tiny white flecks).

She graded it (she's a certified Gia gemologist for what it's worth) at 1.57 carats, h color (but faces up very white), no fluorescents, and s12, not because of inclusions, but because the stone has some abrasions on the facets under magnification. She offered it at $5700, thoughts? I am looking to upgrade my engagement ring which is a 1/2 carat aaa ruby.

Thanks for the quick feedback! Can you tell me more about American cuts? While I'm not super new to jewelry, this is a new phrase to me. Always learning something new!

Can you get use a pic of the bottom of the stone? I just wonder if it's really an H color. Color will determine if it's a deal or not.
