Overall, very happy with the purchase! Shipping was quick with tracking. The parcel was securely packaged and nicely presented; however, the label had almost fallen off! The last time a label fell off one of my parcels, it took me four months to get it :shock:, fortunately, it didn't fall off completely this time. :twisted2:

As for the stones themselves, they're quite pretty with the pinkish-orange colour and decent cutting. I was hoping to avoid treatments and didn't realize it was clarity enhanced until after making the purchase; this is my fault though for not reading the description carefully enough.

The colour is a bit lighter and more orangey than the pictures; I'm not really sure that the stones would be considered "bixbite," but they are nice pretty little orangy/pink beryls. I will definitely be buying from Yvonne again! Any other Etsy sellers you would recommend? I'm after small loose emeralds, sapphires, spinels, and zircons (untreated).

I don't wear jewelry, so my collecting is just for enjoying the beauty of the gems. Maybe one day when I have someone special, I can make something beautiful and meaningful for her with my collection! :mrgreen2:

Also, there one thing up for me: why is the business called CecileRaleyDesigns if the owner's name is Yvonne Raley? Not that it matters, haha. Just curious. Is there an owner named Cecile? :?:

It is very hard to take a good picture of gemstones, but I tried my best to at least capture the colour accurately.

Lovely! I don't know why her business is named as it is but I agree she has beautiful gems. Enjoy!

Cecile is Yvonne's middle name, not sure why she chose to use it in her shop's name :)
 
Ooohh, pretty in pink❤️
 
Those are a really nice pink for beryl. Great pick! I hope you find something to set someday, it's fun to have a mobile gem collection to admire in every lighting situation you encounter.
 
Unrelated, but your rings are lovely!

Thank you. I’ll have to take a new pic in about a month because I have added a few more :bigsmile:
 
Beautiful pinks!!!
