SOLD Question about What Gemstones to Sell

Re: Question about What Gemstones to Sell

Blue spinel 2.62 carats; ever so slight platinum cast to it. For some reason, it kept wanting to read as having greenish cast to the stone. It has no green at all. I had to mess around with the settings to do so, but the second and third photos are more accurate for color, though I would say its a little more intense in color in real life. Also, I notice each of the photos picked up a reflection which discolored the stone in the bottom right quadrant of the photo. There is no such discoloration in the stone; it is one uniform, medium blue. Great cutting; high crown.

This is STUNNING! WANT!

NKOTB: I sent you a message, but if DB isn't working in general, I don't know if I can message you there. At least I tried

Armywife, thanks. I'll come back and post here the minute DB is up and running...

Re: Question about What Gemstones to Sell

Yes, thank you. I sent you two back a while ago. You won't get a notification, you just have to go to "My Account" and look, hopefully they'll be there!

I LOVE that pink tourmaline! I have no real NEED for another one, but ugh...so pretty! I'll be stalking DB until you get everything up!

Re: Question about What Gemstones to Sell

I'll come back to the platinum blue spinel and the lavender/periwinkle spinel - I just know I'll have a horrendous time getting them to read the correct color, so I'm moving on for now.

Next up: the oval Mahenge spinel. Just shy of 2 carats, VS1, per Tan. Under a loupe, it has the negative inclusions so typical of spinel. Please note: this one is not precision cut, but is decently cut - I'm becoming more particular the longer I collect and this one is just fine. What else? Dimensions: 7.7x6.5x4.8mm. What I don't like is that I had to mess around a little with the first photo to make it look right, I guess because the Nasturtium was so vivid in hue. But at least that is the color my eye sees - or pretty close.

As I said before, I'm giving you the ring. I'll admit it: I have no talent for getting bargain settings - in fact, I way overpaid for that simple, thin 18K solitaire. Now I just want it gone, because its a reminder of how I was taken at a gem show

Re: Question about What Gemstones to Sell

I'm sorry, I still can't access DB to list items. I have had limited success retrieving messages. Has anyone else been able to post new items for sale on DB? Its so frustrating I wish I knew what the problem is.

Re: Question about What Gemstones to Sell

Min, I'm interested in the mahenge spinel.

Is it up on DB yet?

Re: Question about What Gemstones to Sell

Put me in line for that spinel as well! I hope DB starts working soon...

Minous,
Do you mind sharing your seller id so we can find your listings when they are finally up?

Re: Question about What Gemstones to Sell

Is that allowed? TL: I'm happy to "see" you around

Ella,
Need a clarification, can they provide a seller id within the preloved section? This is where I reported my question. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Ella, but when we click on the DB links, we can see the seller ID anyway?

You cannot provide the DB link outside the Preloved forum, which is the same policy I am abiding by here.

It's a fine line, but we do not allow seller promotion, which includes providing links or drawing people to your sales.

If we allow it, we'll have people posting all over the forum about their items for sale and to check out their user ID.

Apologies, TL, I thought I was in colored stones. Within the preloved section it's fine as long as it abides by the policies, for example no bumping your own listings repeatedly, no posting more than one thread per item, etc.

With all the moderating she has to do by herself, it's a wonder she can keep it all straight!

Thank you Ella.

You know, I am really really sorry that I started this thread and DB went down. But that last interchange among you all and Ella made me laugh and laugh. Where am I and what have you done with all my diamonds??
