Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

that's my size *covers eyes*

@lala646 always seems to find things in the 5ish size ranges - which kills us fivers! I will buy anything from 4.75-5.75 lol

I wish MANY of the things I post here were my size. Alas...

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!

Omg please start this thread.

Done - TRR Finds thread. I can't believe some of the things I see on the site and I can't wait to see what everyone's found!

I think this is adorable. 8 g of platinum too.

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

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.
