Hi Pricescopers!

I have posted on Loupe Troop some very special gemstones. It is hard to part with some of these. I just can't keep all of the gemstones I have purchased. I won't set all of them and sadly I know I won't wear all of them even if I did set them. So I have been making some hard decisions. My hope is someone will set them and love wearing them so they are enjoyed.

I have taken a number of pictures and selected the ones I think are best. I am not a photographer. I do my best. So while I would love to say ask for more photo's, I am sad to say I don't think I will be able to get photo's that are any better. Perhaps a video... I also try to include a picture from the vendor. I guess I look at it that all of these stone's are purchased from people that do precision cutting and I purchase from them often times with only 1 or 2 photo's. I have done photo's in my bathroom and by my windows. It's about 40 below zero here with the windchill so no outdoor photo's for now, sorry!

All of the gemstones I have purchased have been for a price that I found to be fair. For what I value them for. I have discounted all of the stones by 20% or more. An exceptional price in my mind, tho it might not be in yours. I realize that:) None of the gemstones have ever been set.

I wish more people than not that sell these beautiful gemstones would send an invoice. That they would have the carat weight and measurements. It would make life so much easier for selling these and also being able to give my jeweler all of the necessary information. For buying a setting. I have to say many times I get the gemstone and no paperwork what's so ever. I also have had times where I have asked and not gotten measurements which I would rather have even more so than the carat weight. So please realize I am not trying to not give you what you want, I simply do not have it. If that makes you too nervous to purchase, I understand. There's just not much I can do, sorry.

I have 6 stones listed, I will be adding 3 more that had been listed last September. My goal is to get that done tomorrow. I also will add some pictures to this thread.








Thanks for looking!

Thank you @CSpan. I have noticed that you have a great eye. You make me want an emerald!!!
 
Umba Sapphire is Sold!
 
Mahenge is sold pending payment
 
Yes, you beat me by a few seconds when it was first listed! ;-)

I did?! I'm sorry! Well it was meant to be! So happy that cute little sapphire is going to you:)
 
Paraiba melee sold!
 
That lavender spinel is amazing! If I didn’t already have one I’d be all over that.
 
The grey/teal spinel is sold!
 
Reduced!!! All of the remaining gemstones I have left except for the zircons have been reduced!!!!
 
I’m sad to say no @Mreader. I do wish I did! I still have to ask for them, especially depth from a lot of gem cutters. Then you just hope you get a response.

I think that gem I ordered my three stone is too small. It’s also darker than I thought it would be. And I’m in the reverse situation where I have to find the stone to fit a setting which is not the ideal way to go about it!!
 
@Mreader I will be available in around 15 minutes and I will try to measure it for you. I totally forgot I ordered some calipers! I haven’t ever used them- wish me luck!
 
Ok @Mreader I'm sorry it took so long.I think I did it right! It looks like 6.4mm and depth is 3.9mm I hope that helps!

Thank you!! I need to think on this...measurements seem good for what I need but was thinking of a blue gem. This is tempting me though bc it’s so pretty. Do you know if the faceted edges still work in settings for round stones?

@Mreader I sure hope so! I bought them thinking they would!
Perhaps some one here knows for sure. I never gave it thought!
 
@CSpan I’m sorry! I wish I had another one for you!
