So I started going through my Nanny’s loose stones, and I have absolutely no idea what to do with them! There are SO MANY!!! She used to watch a lot of late night JTV, which led to more than a few impulse buys
There are a couple that I love, but a ton are small parcels with stones that would really be difficult to use. I mean, I have a bag of 350 CARATS worth of cabachons, opals and faceted gems that she paid $170 for. What do you do with that??? There are also two half carat marquis aquamarines, a random loose pearl, and about a dozen stones in their little plastic cases with the specs printed on them. This doesn’t include two baggies that came out of some of her old jewelry. The pic of the loose stones on my hand is one of the bags. They’re ones I sorted out that I liked that I may use to reset. I don’t know whyyyyyy so many are ovals???
You ladies are geniuses, so I thought I might pick your brains!
That oval oro verde quartz in the second pic is probably my favorite. It’s 18x13 and 10.5 carats! That baby is going in a ring for sure. The checkerboard faceting is really beautiful I think.
I know none of these are really super valuable, aside from maybe the tiny ruby and there are 2 matching sapphires, but I still think it would be fun to set a few of them.
I can take more close up pics in better lighting if anyone has any good ideas, or wants to take some of these parcels off my hands! Lol. I seriously am stumped as to why she bought them
It makes me laugh though. Gosh I miss her so much!!!
