I've got a few items I've been meaning to list and since I already took pictures of one, might as well do them all!
In addition to just buying, I am open to trading for platinum eternities size 4.5-5, tsavorites or mint garnets of any size/shape, and hot pink or baby pink spinels of any size/shape (with all the stones, provided the colors match what I collect for suites).
All prices include USPS priority mail shipping with insurance in the USA - if you are in another country I am open to shipping to you with the caveat that I cannot get insurance to all countries, so in the event that the package cannot be insured it will be at the buyer's risk. I am also fine with shipping via a method other than USPS but there may be additional charges if it's more expensive than what I've factored in.

This ruby eternity I bought at an intergem show from Efim Gilin. I've always wanted a ruby eternity and in the impulse of the moment decided that it didn't matter that it was too big. Well. It does matter that I can't wear it on the finger I want to, it turns out. Lol who'd have thought?
It is a size 7 and 3.2mm wide. According to this date on the ring it looks like the ring is from the 40s (seems to read copyright 194? maybe 1942?) and it looks like the facet wear is commensurate with its age and with having once been worn fairly often. Nothing noticeable while you're wearing it but when you start holding it still to take photos, especially with macro lenses, it pops out pretty quickly. I'm not sure if the metal sides are so worn because someone previously wore it next to a diamond band or if it's supposed to be a brushed finish - I haven't gotten it polished because it never bothered me. The stones look red with flashes of pink when they move to me but they keep photographing much more purple/pink which is super annoying.
Asking $600.

This is a half-carat pear diamond, pretty white, pretty clean, in a white gold bezel ring. When I bought this I was going to make it into a pendant but I almost immediately afterwards bought an oec diamond pendant, and this has languished in the to-be-sold box for the last four years as a result. The person I bought it from described it as G Si2, but if it ever had a report I certainly don't have it. It is in 14k white gold and size 5.75. Asking $550.

I also have a ruby ring of unknown treatment I bought on Loupetroop. It's a very pretty jolly rancher red. Since I got my hot pink spinel ring I don't ever wear it. Size 6 but easily resized as it has a plain shank. The ruby is 8mm by 6mm, and the entire halo measures about 10 x 11.5. It is in 18k yellow gold. Asking $900, which is what I paid when I bought it several years ago.
