Mass listings

[MakingTheGrade]

So I decided to do some serious spring cleaning and basically listed my entire colored stone collection. I don't wear them often and lets be honest, I have more fun working on the next project than admiring my last one. Haha, isn't that the nature of the beast though? I figure I'll sell what I can, and whatever is left by summer, fate clearly meant for me to keep.
Nothing wrong with rings, I just feel like I have way too many rings which is probably why I've felt too guilty to put together any new ones.

Anyways, if LT is being odd and you don't hear back from me, feel free to drop a line here! Or if you have any questions.

Yikes! Woke up to like 20 emails. Hah. Please bear with me while I go through and reply throughout the day!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Ok, I should have responded to everyone who emailed!
If you haven't heard back, just shoot me a message again, it might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Side note: I reached out to Hearts of Water about some new projects, the prices have really gone up in the past few years! Maybe by about 50%. I think appropriately so though, given the increased price of gold and the fact that they do impeccable work and even with the price increases, it's still very competitive for the quality of custom work they do. It just makes me sad that I won't be able to set as many things as I"d like even with the mass sale!

Love that rubellite cab ring. I know it's reserved but it's soooo gorgeous! I hope your listings sell quickly for you MTG!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

There has been lots of interest! Many things have had dibs called but still working out logistics and things, so feel free to check back often as RESERVEDs might fall off!

For example, nobody's committed to the rubellite cab ring yet, but I'll give people 24hrs to respond before I put it back up for grabs.

Weirdly enough I'm almost sad there's so much interest. These are my babies! I'm a little sad to see them go. But I know they go to loving homes.

 

[katharath]

Oh my gosh! I didn't check LT for a few days and look at what I missed! These are beautiful pieces at amazing prices, no wonder you've had so much interest

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Haha still lots left

 

[MakingTheGrade]

I made a new listing for the "left overs" although I sold enough to cover the custom setting costs of some new stones so I may just take it as a sign to keep the rest if they're still around next week.

Also listed my OEC van craeynest as it doesn't fit my right hand anymore. :/

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Hmmm

I think loupe troop is being weird with emails. If you haven't heard back from me about something please let me know here and I'll figure something out lol.

 

[KaeKae]

Just an FYI, your link above is leading me to a message that the page does not exist. Bummer!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

D'oh, I made a new listing after a bunch of pieces sold to make it easier. Silly me.
Here's a new link, thanks for reminding me!!!

So my Barry blue spinel iolani ring is coming back my way so I'll be relisting once I get it. It's the blue ring with rope bezel on the bottom of the second collage.

Can you remind us how much that one was, and if it's sizeable?

Sure. It was 725 but sadly not sizeable. Happily though I also don't mind keeping it if it doesn't sell. Hehe. I really love Sally's pieces and it's the only piece of hers I have that's bezeled.

MTG, I've contacted you through LT re the Burmese red spinel. Can you pls let me know if you get my message?

Many thanks.

I would snap that up if it were loose OR sizeable!!! OMG I love that gem. It's nowhere even close to my ring size though, and I would hate to tear up that setting. Sigh... I hope someone gets it soon so that I can stop fantasizing about it, lol.

Same here! I love this ring. And, katharath, I think we are about the same size (I always look forward to your listings!), so my sentiments exactly.

Indeed. Though I need a shipping address! Haha. I sent you an email earlier but thought I'd drop a line here too just in case

 

[mrs-b]

Done.

I'm so tempted to get that Barry mint garnet since I have the sister stone. They would make amazing earrings.

Wow, those really would . . .

MTG, weren't you the poster that had that star sapphire cabachon? I hope you're keeping that! That was one of my all-time favorite PS colored stones.

Best of luck with your sales, all beautiful things!

Yup! That's me. And that ring was squarely on my do not sell list. Along with my emerald ring and my Barry Tsav (as it turns out I couldn't part with it). And a few diamond pieces.

Luckily I cleared enough space in the jewelry box that I don't feel bad getting new rings! So I have 4 in the works! At this pace I'll have another mass listing up by Christmas. Oy!
