Feelers here.

If nobody is interested, I may contact XOthebijoux- Dolly to see if she is.

I bought these from Alex Park in 2018. They are not certified. He didn't save the post and sold a lot of things on the IG stories back then. I remember him grading them at F color and to be safe, I would say F/G color myself. They are pretty white stones. For clarity, I recall he put them at VS2. They are pretty clean stones. These are essentially, pointy angular pears. They don't match perfectly so I would not do them in a ring for matching side stones. However, I think they work for earrings and that was my original plan. My scale is not really accurate for carat weight, so I am going to give caliper measurements. These are stones that are cut shallow by nature, with rough that was flat. When they are not in the gem box, they really don't have a bowtie, but photographing smaller stones loose outside, as a clutzy person, I have not done this.


My calipers that I have around now are plastic, not metal. I measure one stone as being 6 mm x 3.9 mm approx and the other as 6.4 x 4 mm. These are hard to measure, because of the top point and the angular shape. My measurements may not be perfect, but I can send you photos of how I measured and what I got, if you are interested.

I paid $1450 for these from Alex looking at my wire transfer records. I'm not looking to make money on these even though they are very rare. I just don't see myself setting these stones because I have not in over 3.5 years.

I'm asking $1400, plus $25 shipping in the US with tracking and insurance. I'll cover any overage for shipping. I would prefer friends and family or add 3% for an invoice fee.

If no interest here, I'll ping Dolly and ask if she may be interested, where I'm pretty darn sure the price will be much more later based upon her prior sales with stones similar to these.

Photos below.

They're so pretty and unique! I want to come up with a project for them just so I could justify having them :lol:
 
Could you photograph them next to a ring or something that you have the carat weight on so we can compare the size? As a newbie, I don't really know how to gauge caliper size.

Out of curiosity, what style of earrings did you imagine when you purchased? I may be interested, but trying to figure out if I could do drops, not studs.

I can try to do that. I will look to see what I have that may be close in size.
 
Okay, for folks that aren't familiar with millimeter sizes and visualizing it I took pictures next to a US dime.

I also took pictures of my caliper measurements because I have the stones out. If you get it just right on the point they're slightly bigger than I measured the first time.
