PLAN YOUR NEXT TRIP with a gem fair

If it's 18k, for that much gold and some diamond, at least s$650 probably more if new!!

Preloved nvm. Just replate it.

Platinum! I did well?

 

[peacechick]

Platinum! I did well?

Wow, I think you did well! Can I ask which vendor has these pre-loved and relatively affordable jewelry? I must visit to take a look.

 

[Burmesedaze]

[icy_jade]

PLAN YOUR NEXT TRIP with a gem fair

That ruby is soooooo purdy though whatever does recrystallised mean? Does it even matter, they look like great fun! (A natural ruby that big would be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I presume? Total ruby noob here )

 

[icy_jade]

Thank you. How is this opal?

It’s so gorgeous

This is sgd10k

I still think is super gorgeous but is too pricey so I pass

The seller said it’s made from real gems and recrystallised

The ruby is s$700

Naaahh a welo this size though nice wouldn't be 1k. The Bkk gem fair has plenty.

July fair. Bigger and more vendors. Some of the vendors told me they don’t plan to come for the year end one.

Yeah I thought so... I’ll look around next time

 

[icy_jade]

Ok still happy with this lol

@mellowyellowgirl

Gosh when the used ones are so affordable, it’s hard to buy a new stone...

I guess being on Ps has taken away most of the “stigma” of buying second hand gems/jewelry for me...

 

[icy_jade]

It’s a Japanese vendor, Marutaki
Recommended for their excellent service

There’s another Japanese vendor with decent preloved stuff but omg the sales associate is so rude. So I won’t mention the name here

 

[icy_jade]

I actually kinda like the blue on the poor abandoned one in the tray in the background

That one was quoted at 6k

 

[icy_jade]

Omg thanks for the pics!!!! It's gorgeous on you!!!!

If you can please see how much a jade cab ring is going for!

Oh wait I think I mixed it up. Which jade cab ring were u asking about?

 

[qubitasaurus]

Wow, that looks amazing. The star sapphire earings are super pretty, can I ask if you remember how much they were?

 

[Wanaka]

Ok still happy with this lol

I think it looks amazing, nice subtle colour and it plays well with the halo - doesn't look "Tai Tai" either if ya know what I mean
Edited to add: And it's platinum yeah? You did good!

 

[icy_jade]

I didn’t ask

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I meant a decent looking green jade cab in general.

Can we have a pic of all your goodies in case we missed anything.

Haha I would have walked off with a shelf of preloved stuff I reckon.

 

[Burmesedaze]

I'd love to see more pics of the ring under different lights! When you have time

There's also a star sapphire thread started by Bluegemz.

I would happily cart them away with you! My mum is adamant that I pass them to her to crystal cleanse away the neg karma and energy first though.

True that. Year end one is small.

 

[qubitasaurus]

I didn’t ask

Probably for the best, I'll find it easier to stay out of trouble this way.

Ok it’s synthetic.

I must say they are really affordable lol. And the emeralds really look quite realistic with inclusions and all

I can ask if u want. Lemme know by noon tmr my time (that’s about midnight NYC time I think)

Oh prices really vary widely... I mean the imperial ones I didn’t even dare to ask... I wasn’t really looking at green cabs in general so I didn’t ask but if I see any tmr I’ll ask

The more I stare at my ring the more I’m wondering if I should go back and look at the preloved sapphire, ruby and emerald rings more closely...

I only bought two items today. A few on reservation for me to cool off and decide.

 

[icy_jade]

Preloved mice buy. Star a bit opaque but incl setting and diamonds.

The purple jade pendant s$1.2K? Decent. I'd buy it. But if it's way lighter than shown... No.

I have a white led torch with me when i remember to bring out while gen shopping. To see how it looks in the daylight. If your phone flash is white, that works too.

I’m adding led torch on my list of tools to buy haha

Ok pendant was s$1.35k. I know you don’t approve but it’s hard to find a ready set cab that doesn’t look super auntie... plus I think settings easily could cost me more so I think it’s fairly decent buy.

My jeweller says your ring is a good buy

Is it a us9???

8.75? Not quite 9.

I'd love to see more pics of the ring under different lights! When you have time

There's also a star sapphire thread started by Bluegemz.

I’ll take when I can. I do like the soothing blue color so am really quite happy. Heh.

I would happily cart them away with you! My mum is adamant that I pass them to her to crystal cleanse away the neg karma and energy first though.

How to cleanse? Can you share some instructions pls?

I think I should learn... I keep thinking about stuff I didn’t buy gosh.
