Hallo all!

Since I have some spare time, I decided to list some pieces I've been meaning to sell for a while. I have 3 diamonds, a gorgeous Jeff White golden sapphire, 5 charms and a baroque pearl bracelet with 14kt ball clasp.

Firstly - the bracelet. This is 8.5" long, the pearls are individually knotted, and it could be shortened with no issue. They're Australian akoya baroques, roughly 8mm each, with beautiful luster. A number of them have a fire-tail. I paid roughly $1200 - selling for $350.

Next up are some Clogau charms; an apple, a pair of cherries, a fuchsia blossom and a sunflower. They're 9kt rose and yellow gold, but I've had them double plated (so it last much longer) with 18kt yellow and they look smashing! They're each roughly 10mm, tho they vary depending on the style - for instance, the fuchsia is 12mm x 6mm.

These are really detailed, pretty and each one is solid, not hollow. Selling these for $125 each.

I also have a pansy pearl and enamel charm. If you look online, you'll find that these are a well known type of charm. This one is roughly 11m in diameter. I am unsure of the kt of the gold, but I *believe* it's 18kt. All charms have 18kt jump rings on them, ready to put on a bracelet or pendant. I paid $500 for this, but this is now for sale at $125 also.

Next up - my beautiful Jeff White 1.78ct golden sapphire.

7.37mm x 7.37mm and cut by Jeff White, I had this inspected by David Klass and his immediate reaction was to call out to another dealer who was in the store at that time dropping off some emeralds - "This is cut like a round brilliant diamond! Come and have a look at this - it's phenomonal!"

The color can appear from orange to yellow depending on the light, but it's VERY glowy. I paid $1850 for it (as per the attachment) - selling for $1k. And that's a big, frigging steal.Yellow sapphire_a.jpg

Lastly - 3 diamonds.

One is a .79 I SI2 bought from Good Old Gold. It's quite squat, which I like in pears, and is a very pretty stone. I had it set originally in yellow gold, which was unnecessary and didn't do it any favors; if I was setting it now, I'd set it in platinum, probably with a fine halo.

A very pretty little stone - would make a nice ring stone and, especially if halo'd, a nice engagement ring. Selling for $1250.
 
Well, this one is a case of my screw-up, your pick-up.

I bought this chubby little thing only a few weeks ago to go with another diamond I already have. Why I thought I'd be able to guess that this would match is now beyond me. It was a .77 F SI2, graded by EGL, 6mm x 5.69mm. To my eye, it wasn't entirely round, so I gave it to David Klass who sent it to his cutter to neaten up in an effort to make it a match with my 5.5mm AVR. Unfortunately, it was never going to be a match, tho it's a VERY pretty little stone of itself. It's now been re-cut,and I'm unsure of the stats. David said it was a G color with a feather on a facet which is obvious under a loupe, but not visible with the unaided eye. I've seen it with a loupe - I cannot find it without.

It's very crisp, white, and I'm guessing now about .7ct. I cannot send it back to David at the moment as it appears their building is going to close, but its dimensions are now 5.69 x 5.58mm.

I paid $1595 when I bought it from Ivy and Rose. It's now a better diamond since the re-cut, and I am asking $1200. It is a PERFECT pendant diamond.

Certified by EGL-USA, the diamond received a color grade of F. Brilliantly white and colorless, it is just two very subtle shades away from perfect D color. Graded SI2 for clarity, the diamond is 100% eye clean.

And lastly, a wonky, chubby little cushion. I bought this from another PSer (@yssie, did I buy this from you? Do you remember the ctw?) and am hoping they might drop by to help me out with some details on it. I believe it was sold to me as an H - and it is indeed a nice white with good light return. I seem to recall it being around 1/2 ct, maybe an SI2? - and it's roughly 5.31 x 4.93mm.

However, I can't recall it's ctw, it isn't clean and it has a missing corner. So if someone it looking for something to bezel, or something to use in something like my Sparkly Doo-Dad, this will be a bargain at $350!

@mrs-b Did you mean to say 11mm on this pansy pendant? I love it! Can I bother you to take a picture of it on your hand for reference? Pansies remind me of my mom... :)

ETA I emailed you via your LT email.

I sent you an email as well. Thanks.
 
Got it, @1ofakind! (It was the fuchsia, right?)
 
mrs b, emailing you about the ”wonky, chubby little cushion”...it is calling my name :lol-2: :kiss2:
 
Folks - I just need to add - as always, when I sell things via LT, it's a case of first payment gets the piece. Just want to be clear.
 
The little cushion is SOLD.
 
@mrs-b Yes, I believe that's one I sent to you! 0.65ct ::)

@lynahs1295 I can't seem to link my old LT listing but it's still there if you scroll through (same user name - "yssie"). I remove sale prices from my LT listings once they're completed, but the price @mrs-b is asking is exactly what I sold it to her for - and it's a LOT of diamond for the cost :))

Thanks for that, @yssie - I appreciate the help. :) I've hung onto it for ages, intending to set it because it's absolutely darling! But in the end I had to acknowledge - I simply do not need one more ring!

I thought about the moi et toi idea, but thought it would be tough to match. On the other hand...BANGLE!!
 
The lovely .79ct pear is SOLD.
 
The golden sapphire, the baroque pearl bracelet, the apple charm and the cherries charm are still available.

I've decided to remove the .7ct OEC from sale for now.

Thanks @WindyCityCoco

All of them are things I wanted to use, but as I get older, I question just how many rings / bracelets / pendants / earrings / so on that I need! So I decided to cull my projects. I'm not selling any of the things I've already done, but throwing in the towel on future projects.
