Freke is unloading!

Ok, I'm doing a "fire" sale/BOGO 1/2 off sale.

Here is the deal. I'm due to deliver my first child in over 3 weeks, November 21. This sale will be going on until I am in labor or until everything is gone. If you want 3 or more items, I'm willing to negotiate.

Shipping is included in the prices.

Buy one at full price, get another of equal or lesser value half off!

I also have a few stones I'm considering parting with, but haven't made a decision on them just yet...all precision cut. Inquire if you're interested!

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.

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
Hardly worn and in perfect condition.
Originally paid $275. Asking $220 OBO.

Hi Freke, is your 5ct Aquamarine still available? If so, could you direct me to a link? I can't find it on DB...
Thanks!

sent you a message through DB.

also can you clarify how accurate the Mint Tourmaline vendor pic is (BB-t6486)? Is it more blue or more green? Might be interested in that one also.

I emailed you back (sometimes the emails seem to be going into spam folders, not sure why!)

The mint tourmalines have all sold.

Hi! I'm looking for either a rubellite tourmaline, rhodolite garnet, or an indicolite tourmaline. Spinel is one of my favorite gems, so I'd go for one of those too...do you have any?
 
Hy Freke!-

I saw a gorgeous cushion teal-ish spinel pictured in a photo in page two. Did you decide if it is for sale? If so, what are the specs and how much? I think my sis would love it!

Thanks!

I don't have any rubellite, rhodolite or indicolite. I do have several spinels, but the ones that seem to be left are of the darker variety. The post above yours has a list of what I have left. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Freke, I'm sure your quite busy with your pecious little one, but when you are ready to come back to this project, I have been thinking about your blue spinels...

all the best, KK
 
A bit of an odd place to mention this, but congratulations on your little gal, Freke :wavey:
 
Re: Freke is unloading! HI about those blue spinels

:love: HI! I hope all is going well with your newborn baby. I'm sure you don't get much time to check in here, but I thought I'd post and ask anyhoo....do you have any pics of that denim blue spinel (maybe one is here, but I missed it?) or any of the other blue spinels? I've seen the pic of the grey/blue one, but not sure if I saw the blue/green one or the denim blue. If you can, post some pics, I'll check in now and then. No rush! Just thought I'd put in a request... :wavey: tks, cats
 
Thanks everyone for your well wishes! She is a charater and certainly keeps us on our toes!

I am thinking a thread just for blue spinels would probably be a good idea because I still have a lot of those, and several to sell still. Not to mention they seem popular! I'm hoping that I can post that new thread by next weekend, so keep an eye out for it then!
 
sounds good to me! I love spinels.... :appl: and blue is my favorite colour! :cheeky:
