Would the retail value be accurate on this one? I’ve heard people talk about Kat Florence before. I don’t know anything about this type of stone though. @Autumn in New England

Isn't that lovely! This is a collector's stone and quite rare. I don't own it, but I've seen it at trade shows and at the usual online haunts. It has good hardness at around 7, and excellent toughness. It's RI and dispersion are decent. It's often this minty shade, but can be a more vivid grassy green, deeper olive, or even shades of purple and blue (which sort of resemble fluorite or untreated tanzanite). 5ct. is quite large for this material, so I'd say the current price is in the appropriate ballpark, although the more vibrant and/or pleochroic stones fetch the most money. That being said, the original list price they mention of $42k is bonkers.
P.S. How are you and your dear hubby doing, my friend?

He’s doing quite well
Thank you for asking! I’m thinking the retail may have more to do with the designer. It is a pretty ring! Thanks for the gem info!

I can't decide if this is creepy or exquisite. I'm leaning to exquisite.

I think this is adorable. 8 g of platinum too.
One of the IG sellers put a diamond bow on a curb chain and it's adorable! She wrote "This blingin’ bow is one Hello Kitty would rock".

Ok, this is a new piece, but it's so spectacular I had to post it. Size 6. 1.59ct O-P SI1 OEC, 1.33ctw pink sapphires, and a whopping 23g of 18k rose gold. This one is a show stopper!! And a reasonable price, considering the components.

Basically at scrap weight - this is reversible. Yellow gold on one side, white on the other. I was considering getting this but I can't - I just bought the Olympic necklace.
Time for my TRR finds!
Tiffany 9.8g 14k brooch for $510, so not that far above scrap value:
Fun Tiffany band in size 4.75 for $1095
18K Sapphire Band
18K Yellow Gold. Featuring 0.99 Carat Round Sapphire Cabochons.
VCA Socrate BTF ring in size 5 for $8k, usually listed for $10k+ when I've seen it though TRR calls the condition "good" so it might be a bit of a mess:
Socrate Between the Finger Ring
From the Socrate Collection. Rhodium-Plated 18K White Gold. Designer Size 50. Includes Designer Box & Certificate of Authenticity.
Well I LOVED these. I’m finding the trick is to only look at the posts in this thread that are a week old- that way I can want them desperately and find that they’ve sold lol
That top gold reversible chain at scrap weight… omg… want want want.

And that's a huge mistake, old cuts will become the new status diamond now that you can have the same RB as lab...
