How about the opal? I see that's a fairly new addition to your "for sale" list? Thanks

The info I have on it is:

Dan Stair Round Ethiopian Opal, 1.21 ct, 8.17mm I haven't taken any pictures, but I can if you're interested. It is faceted though, which makes it a little different from the usual opals.

 

[Phoenix]

Thanks! Stay tuned for this to be my new RHR!

Does this mean you've bought it? If so, congrats!! That's a gorgeous gorgeous stone , the intense pink colour is just what I've been looking for.

Freke, do you have any more like this?

Yes she managed to snag it. I do not have any more like that, but I thought of you when I posted it. Lil' Misfit was just too quick!

Yes, she was. I didn't even get a chance!

Seriously though, I'd have loved it but am happy that you got it, Lil' Misfit. It's gonna make one heck of a BEAUTIFUL RHR.

Just sent you an email about the smaller spinels!

Sorry, Phoenix! It was just too gorgeous to pass up! I am excited about it being my new RHR and have already been speaking to Jamie at BGD for a quote.

No worries . I'm glad it went to another PS'er. Can't wait to see your new RHR!

Freke,
Have you posted any pictures of the round pink tourmaline?
Any more info on that would be great.
Thanks.

Freke, I might be interested in this one but would like to see some pics first if you don't mind taking a few...

 

[klp834]

Yes would you mind please posting come pictures of the opal? Thanks

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Beautiful stones as usual, Freke. I love the two bicolours I got from you a while ago.

I was wondering how much you were asking for the octogon aqua. It might satisfy my asscher craving.

 

[FrekeChild]

KLP and Stargurl, here are a few pics I managed to snap of the opal.

I have never really tried to take a picture of an opal before, and holy cow it's hard to catch the color play! Anyway, this gives you an idea of what it looks like!

 

[FrekeChild]

One more!

 

[FrekeChild]

Freke,
Have you posted any pictures of the round pink tourmaline?

Thanks.

T-6989 Tourmaline(J) 2.24 cts., 8.2mm round brilliant[Gec]. This Nigerian tourmaline has a medium peachy pink color--more pinkish that the photo shows---and is flawless at 10x. Barry Bridgestock

Paid $210

I've had a few bites on this one, but feel free to contact me if you're interested.

Paid $400. Feel free to make an offer though! This baby needs to go to a good home! I'm surprised with all of the inquiries on it, it hasn't sold by now!

 

[LJL]

Freke,
Sent you a message on DB.

 

[stargurl78]

Thanks for posting those pics of the opal Freke! How much are you hoping to get for that stone?

That is very reasonable, Freke. Unfortunately, my laptop decided to burn out and my asscher money was transformed into laptop money (you have no idea how expensive electronics are around here - I paid $900 for a very basic model ).

Darn.

 

[NOYFB]

No worries . I'm glad it went to another PS'er. Can't wait to see your new RHR!

The tourmaline came today and it's even more gorgeous in person!!

Thanks again, Freke!!!

Phoenix, did you find something for your project yet?

I saw yr thread on SMTB. That stone is very gorgeous, very hot pink!!

No, i haven't found anything yet. I may look next time I go to Vietnam. Apparently, they have tons of beautiful pink sapphires there.

Dang, that sucks! My computer is probably one of my most precious items...fortunately it's one that can be easily replaced! Shame that they are so expensive down south though!

I have to say it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere any time soon, so who knows? It could still be available in the future!

JEWELRY:
2 Heart of Water pillbox stacking rings in sterling silver.  We've made you one with top quality pink tourmaline, and the other with top quality peridot. Both stones measure 5.5 mm wide; the peridot weighs .66 ct., and the tourmaline weighs .56 ct. $160

Blue spinel ring (Barry Bridgestock) Liebcor basic 14kt
1.22ct 6.2mm dark blue spinel cut by Barry Bridgestock in a 14kt white gold Liebcor setting from ebay. Currently somewhere around a size 6.5/7
One thing I should mention about this particular stone is that it has an eye visible inclusion. It's been cut so it's almost dead center, and because this stone is a very pretty (Barry said it was one of the most desirable spinel colors because it looks similar to a sapphire) blue, that's why it was not originally priced higher. The inclusion has never bothered me, and I think Barry did a great job cutting around it.
This ring cost me about $270 to create, $150 for the stone, the rest for the setting and getting it set.
I'm asking $200 OBO including shipping. 

Mint tourmaline necklace
Tourmaline Necklace(J) 1.44ct., 7.9x5.2mm tourmaline in 14K yellow gold[Gec]. This tourmaline from Mozambique is a medium to medium light minty green which did not come through well in my photo. It is eyeclean, having a small bubble-like inclusion which is visible in the detail photo and a fine, needle-like inclusion. It comes with the 18inch Stuller chain pictured. BB
Originally paid $275. Asking $220 OBO including shipping.

For anyone that might be on the fence, I thought I'd post that Freke is amazing to deal with. I've purchased, well, too many things to count from her. She ships quickly, everything arrives securely, and her communication is tops. If worrying about how the transaction will go is holding you back please don't let it.

My husband has started referring to her as my drug dealer and he has a point.

 

[Octavia]

Ditto EricaR -- I have bought a couple stones from Freke (one a couple years ago, one from this thread, and another pending from the current batch) and she's awesome. Not that we didn't already know that, of course. But it never hurts to say it again
