I want to see gemstones over 5cts

Obviously different gemstones come in at different specific gravity- but a 5ct cut off should meant they’re all large lol.

Cuprians. One is violet (cushion) and the other is purple. The blue one is 12 carats, but faces up small because it’s deep. All three come with gIT copper bearing lab briefs.

I think I may like this thread :D @Niel you need to post yours too though!

@missy such a beautiful opal

@T L your collection is amazing! I am not normally an orange person but that spess is amazing!

@Ionysis if that picture is anything to go by your new sapphire will be amazing!

@Bluemuse I love your sapphire and the setting is tdf

@Imyracle that ring is perfection!

I’ve posted my emerald a few times before, it is 15 carats, Colombian. Not the perfect specimen by any means but it is huge and glowy and IMO the perfect color, I also love the retro setting!

This is my new purchase it is a 14 carat Rwanda amethyst from Moriartys. I have wanted a really nice amethyst ring for ages. I believe it was you @T L who has mentioned this material before, so when I saw this stone in the right cut and size on Insta I grabbed it. It’s currently being made into a Art Deco style halo ring by DK.

Just bought this. 5.12ct unheated 9mm Sri Lankan sapphire. Am just itching to get my hands on it.

Congratulations! That's what I'm looking for but keep striking out!

Can I ask which vendor?

This neon rubellite was my gift to my mom last year. She didn’t take good picture of this piece and finally today she took a nice picture. Main stone is 10+ct. 15mm*14mm giant rubellite cabochon from Afghanistan.

The cushion purple/blue sapphire on the middle finger is 5+ carats.
Though the star sapphire looks bigger, it is shy of 5 carats, if I recall correctly.
The ovals are too small to be mentioned in this thread.

I adore this. I had it in my "favorites " for so long. Happy it went to a PSer!

@lovedogs Thank you!

I just happened across her as I was searching for comparables for another stone. The other stone was much cleaner, but she just spoke to me and knew I had to see her in person.

I am working with a jeweler to remove the sapphire in her setting from the circle pendant and make her into a ring.

A 17 ct sapphire ring! Now that’ll be one for our PS record books! Look forward to this project!

@peacechick I am excited to see how she turns out, the jeweler is kind of pushing for just adding a shank and cleaning up her current home, to preserve her current setting. I tend to lean towards ring projects so I can enjoy the piece myself-I feel like I need more fingers :mrgreen2:
