My Burma Myanmar gemstones :)

[Burmesedaze]

If you're going to get them as a pair, they're not well matched. Do you like the round or the oval better? Maybe you can just get one

The cutter is selling as a lot I suppose 1 can be a pendant and the other a ring?

 

[Bluegemz]

I think they are lovely, deep red star rubies. That round one would be great as a ring, and the other a pendant, or you can save them to build up a layout of various colors, or 2 colors like red and white, red and purple , etc. Somehow the multicolored together look really good with stars.

Icy jadeite donuts, slightly green. Got them for earrings

 

[Bluegemz]

There’s so much that you can do with those. Just for fun, these settings are so interesting, by the Munich brand Hemmerle....

Or these too

So many variations and they all appeal to different moods and colour schemes.

[Bluegemz]

Yes! Given the subtle color, smaller hole and delicacy of the texture, I love those simple diamond ones from allaboutjade, example 1. I just love this shape. I’ve been really noting ones with interesting color combinations recently, like these antique Cartier ones... the possibilities are endless with these.

Wow that is so pretty !

I love the star rubies!

Not getting them in the end. Am holding out for a larger one more apt for size 9 fingers

A new purchase pending dispatch.

Unheated and untreates light purple Mogok sapphire in a round brilliant cut.

Good idea! I am all for you saving to get one with the right size for your finger. I’m guessing it will be forever until I can do the same with a red or lavender star since small gems hardly show up on me. Kind of a bummer.

It's a Catch 22 because they get pricier every year!

I know, that DOES add pressure, but I tend to wonder if one might wish for more if one got a too small for finger stone. One way out of this of course is stackers because one could build up enough finger coverage. Can you imagine a stacked set with just different shades of star rubies?

So curious, do you have plans for this beauty! I keep coming back to look at it

Every time someone mentions stacks or bracelets I feel like I should have asked about the star sapphire lots I saw at the recent fair argh...

I feel that each star sapphire or ruby is so unique, it's hard to do justice in stacker form. Unless it's a unique design to that

I lack finger real estate so stackers are out for me to begin with.

Not atm. I'm on an acquisition drive

 

[Burmesedaze]

The 1.6ct pink sapphire in hand. Night shots with flash. Much nicer pink than this, though not as nice as the 1.3!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Oh my, this large Mogok pink sapphire honker was shown by a trader today. Over 10cts. He claimed to have paid over us40k for it.

However, it has hugeass fractures. Which is a pity. Because this is the best pink sapphire and cut I've seen locally! No heat no treatment.

 

[icy_jade]

Umm no to the inclusions

 

[Burmesedaze]

Umm no to the inclusions

No worries. Not getting. Just showing a tdf pink!

I'd happily get this if it didn't have a big crack.

 

[ChanterelleJ]

That 10 ct pink is tdf indeed, Burmesedaze! bummer about the fracture. Really the stuff my wildest dreams are made of

Yes! I'd be happy with just The One.

I thought it was a pink topaz when they first showed it to me!

 

[ChanterelleJ]

I would have thought the same. 10 cts+ sapphires is something you don't see every day. I don't at least...I was shown a 10 ct unheated yellow a couple of weeks ago and I was impressed, but a HOT PINK

 

[Burmesedaze]

A relative's in town and we bought the following today for the fam members.

 

[Burmesedaze]

For @mellowyellowgirl

These are just a tiny % of how much they have at their store! Where to begin?

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

OMG!!! Hallo you!!!!

I've got a piece of sesame chiffon cake and cup of tea! Ready to look!

The two bags on the floor is that apple green in real life? I want a nice fresh green!

Also on the table, the speckly darkish green and white is beautiful too!

***
OMG @Burmesedaze is that a massive crack at the bottom of that sapphire?

Haha I thought that was the one you ordered and I was like "Didn't she say hers was a carat and a bit? Why so HUGE!"
