1.218ct FSi1 BGD "blue", Tiffany Novo, huggies, pearls

[diamondseeker2006]

1) 1.218ct F Si1 BGD "blue" loose stone:
I'm selling this gorgeous 1.218ct BGD diamond because I bought it with the intention of finding a match from BGD to put into my 3-stone ring; but a match has not come up and I'm getting a bit fed up waiting!

I'm asking $9,500 o.n.o. It's a brand-new stone, never set and is extremely eye-clean (I've been told by Brian). It's actually currently with a third party (I've never taken possession of it). I can have it re-inspected by BGD at your request.

Phoenix...is the stone in U.S.? what does o.n.o. mean?...

DF, I didn't know either, so I googled it! or nearest offer

I didn't either. We usually see OBO (or best offer) around here.

Sorry, folks. O.n.o does mean "or nearest offer". That's what we use in the UK and in Singapore. I should've looked it up and see what's the norm in the US. My bad!!

As requested, I'm going to list the ad on DB now. But I don't yet have all the pics. Hopefully DB will allow me to add extra pics later on.

Thanks for your interest, everyone.

The listing is now up on DB. I'm Phoenix123 there.

In the title, I've put the amount at $1m (which obviously is not true, lol), but I don't know how to state prices for several pieces on the same ad, other than in the body of the ad.

 

[Phoenix]

DF, yes, the 1.218ct BGD "blue" is already in the US. It's being kept for me by a very kind third party.

Ha ha, you're too funny!

LOL! I didn't even know there was a fish called by that name. Now I do.

 

[Phoenix]

Okie, people...a few more pics of the huggies...

 

[Phoenix]

Now onto pics of the eternity band...

Btw, my jeweller tells me that the band is 2mm wide, 1 1/2 mm thick/ high (it sits very low on the finger). She puts the melee at F-G (not as white as the huggies) and definitely 1 1/2 pointer each. The band has a bit of a patina and I might have it re-plated before shipping it off.

[quote="Mayk|1322070846|3067751Thanks Phoenix... they are exactly what I have been looking for... just let me know when the listing is up and I can pay you via paypal... we are doing Thanksgiving at my In-laws but will be home in the afternoon... Very Excited!!! [/quote]

Hi Mary, I've put up the listing on DB as you can see. Since you're the first person to express interest, I will hold them for you for 3 days starting from today. This means that I will not consider any other offer for the next 3 days and if you could please contact me and make payment within this time period (or at least a deposit of say 50%). I hope that is sufficient time for you. Thank you.

All, please note that I still have all the items with me (except for the loose 1.218ct "blue"). I plan to ship them to the third party in the US next week (subject to how long Tiffany takes with the Novo band) or as early as I can. After that, I'd like to request the third party (who's helping me with the sales) to liaise with you to arrange shipment and insurance for you guys. Any Q regarding shipping and insurance, please liaise with them directly. I shall let you know who the third party is asap. Thank you.

 

[Phoenix]

Yikes! I was interested in the huggies, too!

Phoenix, just a friendly suggestion...please consider getting your DB listings and pictures up before making the post here. I wouldn't feel comfortable telling you or anyone I want an item without seeing the pictures. I believe in first come, first served, but I might have been able to make the first offer had the pictures and complete info been posted.

I'm still watching all your listings, though!

I'm sorry, DS. Let's see how it goes...I will put you on a wait-list, how's that?

I have another pair of huggies, bigger, made up of 18 pointers (ten of them, making a total of 1.8ctw). I'm still trying to decide whether to sell them. If you're interested, I can take pics and put up pricing too.

[quote="lilythespitfire|1322088087|3067937I'm super interested in this! I messaged you on Diamond Bistro through the only listing you had available. So check your messages! ^_^[/quote]

I sent you a reply. Thanks.

Hi Phoenix, if DS is not interested in the bigger huggies I might be (not sure though as 18 pointers might be too large for me). So if you do decide to put them up for sale and DS is not interested I might want to purchase them...

ps love all your jewelry!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Thanks, Phoenix! I love the little huggies, but I think the 1.8 ct. pair would be too large for me. I LOVE them on others, though! I think you should keep those actually. That is such a staple item and the size is complimentary to your rings, etc. I just need smaller ones since I wear smaller diamonds. I am watching all your items, though!

He he, no worries, DS. I am seriously tempted to get new huggies made up of 40 pointer each. I tried them on at my local jeweller's and am absolutely smitten!!

I shall let you know if the little huggies remain unsold after 3 days. There have been quite a few enquiries, but you're def first on the wait-list.

Btw, I got my Victor C ring today. It's gorgeous!! DH says it's "very classy".

 

[Bliss]

Phoenix!!!!!! I love all of your pieces!!!!!!! Yay for the jewelry box overhaul and the new pieces!

I am dying to see your VC ring!!!! I would totally be all over your massive huggies if DH hadn't gotten me some big diamond hoops... because I love everything you own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May I ask you a quick question about one of your pieces? You know your 3 stone ring (Hahaha, I know, which one?) with the 2+ carat center and 1 carat each sides? Do you feel the proportions are good and are you happy with it? Does it sit well with you? I only ask because ever since DH got me the big blingy hoops, I never wear my 1.08 carat each studs. I was thinking of making it a three stone ring down the road with my 2.7? I have no idea what else to do with them. I already had other diamond studs so it's a ring or nothing! You're the only one I know who has a ring similar to those proportions and you are my jewelry sister so I know you'll definitely have opinions!!!

I can't wait to see what you get with the proceeds from all these yummy pieces!!!!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Phoenix, I hope you are posting hand pics of your new ring on Show Me the Bling! I can't wait to see it! That is a gorgeous design and so similar to one I had seen and copied the picture of since I loved it so much!

CORRECTIONS:

I was looking at the huggies,the eternity band and the pendant and realised that the melee on the huggies looked quite a bit smaller than those on the pendant and not much bigger than those on the eternity band. So I asked my local jeweller who at first was adamant that these were 5 pts. I said they couldn't be and I don't want to get slammed on PS for stating/ selling pieces with incorrect specs . So I insisted that she check again, which she eventually did. Turned out I was right, those melee on the huggies are only just over 3 pts each.

The correct specs are now as follows:

3) Diamond half-hoops or huggies: There are actually fouteen melee of just over 3 pointers (so 7 diamond melee on each, making a total weight of 0.47ctw). I had them made by my local jeweller, who tells me that the colour is F and clarity VS (they only sell E-F colour, VS clarity diamonds). The settings are in 18k WG. REVISED ASKING PRICE IS $1,000 OBO.

My apologies, folks. It was a genuine mistake; lucky I was able to spot it, before any sale was finalised.

PS> Anyone knows how I can correct the specs and asking price on DB? Thx.

Hey Bliss!! Great to "hear" from you!! I love all your pieces too, so the admiration is totally mutual, lol!

Yeah, which 3-stone ring? He he...Okay, the latest one has a 2.374ct centre and 1.5ct each sides (so not 1ct each sides). It's actually a bit too much (lol, I can't believe that I'm actually saying it..me..Phoenix with a penchant for all bling big and beautiful!! ). It's kind of "loud" actually. I do love big bling as long as it's tastefully done and elegant, which is *exactly* what my new VC ring is and what my 3-stone ring is not.

I absolutely *adore* three -stone rings and have gone back and forth on many iterations and have in the end decided that slightly larger sides (around 1ct each) is BEST combination on MY own fingers (though of course there are plenty of other proportions that also look gorgeous, so this is just my personal taste). It gives you plenty of bling coverage whilst at the same time still manages to look subdue and classy, iykwim? I love your new solitaire but if you wanna reset it and use the studs, this is absolutely the way to go! I *hate* having things sitting around doing nothing so vote that you go this route.

5) Pair of golden South Sea pearls:

 

[Phoenix]

I thought I'd take some more pics of the SS pearls so you can see how beautiful and golden they are, and that you can hardly see any blemishes with your naked eye. The pics show the blemishes, BLOWN UP/ MAGNIFIED, and this is as bad as it gets.

6) Diamond+Tahitian pearl pendant and a pair of loose Tahitians:

One more pic of the beautiful Tahitian + diamond pendant:

I'm taking my name out of the hat on this one.. I was hoping for a little larger stone.. so these babies are back up for grabs... and I am sure they will go to a lovely home!!! Thank you so much Phoenix for the update and your timely responses on DB!!!!

Thanks, Mary, for your interest. I'm just glad I was able to catch the error before we finalised the transaction.

 

[Phoenix]

I've decided to list another pair of huggies for sale. I tried on some monstrous ones with 40pt's at my local jeweller's and I just *have* to have them!!

So anyway, here are the 18 pt huggies:

7) Pair of huggies, IDEAL cut, F colour, VS clarity: super-super sparkly, super-white and super-clean and incredibly comfortable on the ears. There are ten melee of approx 0.18 pt each (five melee on each earring), making a total of 1.84ctw. Settings in 18k WG. Asking $2,400 OBO. Again, any of the freebies (except maybe the jackets since they should be priced about $1k) is up for grab.

ETA: I'd like to gift the jackets to the person who spends the most money, ie. the one buying the 1.218ct diamond, or if you buy 2 or more of the other items - again first come first served.

 

[Phoenix]

I was also thinking: since most of the items are still not in the US yet, I'm only gonna ask for a 25% deposit now (and not 50% deposit as previously mentioned) on any item(s) you're interested in. As soon as these items are in the US, we can settle the remaining payment and then the item(s) you buy can be shipped out to you straightaway then. I think that's fairer, right?

I'm afraid I have to say I want these.... I'm so bad
