Sold Bands n' Things...

[yssie]

I've amassed a rather ridiculous quantity of bands over the years, including several near- or outright- duplicates; it's high time to cull the herd.

I'll use "width" to describe horizontal thickness and "depth" to describe height off the finger.

1. Note that when ordering from many vendors, bands advertised as Xmm thick and Ymm deep may not match those specifications exactly - precise measurements will depend on shaping and polishing; I am listing precise measurements for width and depth of each band.
2. Note that the best way to ensure heights of bands match is to measure and match outer circumference - this will be more accurate than an approximation based on ring size plus depth. I'm listing precise measurements for outer circumference of each band.​

All bands are freshly polished. None have been sized. All are structurally sound, and all visible wear is described and photographed.

Loose coloured gems:
LT: https://loupetroop.com/listings/loose-stones-colored-gemstone/3-loose-coloured-gems


3.00ct - Sunstone by Jerry Newman:
Diameter: 9.12mm
Total depth: 6.75mm
Pavilion depth (girdle to culet): 5.3mm

Gorgeous peachy colour with a streak of schiller. This stone glows

Never set, but there is hairline scratching on the crown surface. Its gem box lid cracked during our house move, and I believe this is the cause. The scratching is not visible with naked eye outside of exceptionally close inspection - see loupe photo. The stone is structurally sound and in otherwise excellent condition.









2.74ct - Tourmaline by Gene Flanigan
Diameter: 8.6mm
Total depth: 6.2mm
Pavilion depth (girdle to culet): 4.3mm

This stone shifts from pink to peach through different lighting environments, and sparkles like crazy - pictures can't begin to do it justice! I purchased it pre-loved from another PSer and it has been set. It is in excellent, undamaged condition.

There is an inclusion that is not surface-breaching - see loupe closeups. It is 100% eye-clean from ~5" from face-up and at normal viewing tilt - it's remarkable, I had no idea it was there until I removed the stone from its setting! The inclusion blends into the obstruction pattern completely.









0.7ct - Solid black opal
Length: 7.0mm
Width: 5.5mm
Total depth 3.0mm

This stone is mostly green and blue with a decently strong red flash from two perspectives in particular. I'm including both "best case" photos and "plain ol' daylight" (indoors on a cloudy day) photos. Never set.
