Gemstones - Newly Photographed

Note that those gemstones below are being offered at their Initial Public Offering (IPO) and typically priced to move quickly. Prices may increase on any particular gemstone depending on market conditions and the fact that many of All That Glitters items are One of a Kind...

All That Glitters is known for searching throughout the world for the Finest Gemstones and Rough of high quality and uniqueness. Lower quality material may be be found online or in stores, but few have the exceptional material that we offer the trade and our online customers. Gemstones will only be added to our inventory if color, size, cutting, clarity and price match our strict criteria!

customer created ring
Montana Sapphire
Recently completed (10/04/24) customers ring with the Parti-Colored Montana Sapphire she purchased from All That Glitters, set in 14kt yellow gold using her diamonds from a previous setting. She used the All That Glitters Showcase to find a setting she liked; if necessary, we could have tweaked the setting/design a bit if she desired, but the setting matched her stones dimensions as well as the diamond melee on the sides!

Large 3.41ct Neony Tsavorite Garnet Oval - bright lizard green. Has an inclusion (and some fine ones scattered throughout) which can be seen under power and when flipped over, but very difficult to see unless the lights are just right and the angle allows it to be seen. With 2.75x glasses, I personally cannot see it. Most might consider this to be eye clean. A brilliant/sparkly gemstone. Video is perhaps just a tad more green, as there is some yellow highlights - but this would bought right and being sold at a great price for what this is. An 8+ct deeper green (chrome) was sold to the trade a few years back for $120,000; anything in large sizes like this of good green are very high in the trade and far higher when it hits the retail market.

fossilized wasp or bee in amber  - 40 million years old
fossilized wasp or bee in amber  - 40 million years old
fossilized wasp in amber -  All That Glitters auction item
A Fossilized Wasp or Bee in Amber from the Dominican Republic - approximately 30-40 Million Years Old. This is a well known and sought after locality where some of the amber found contains insects or vegetation. Nicely preserved with lots of detail. We have done well with similar items at auction, typically selling for 2 to 4 times the listed price on the All That Glitters website. Clicking on any image will produce a large image of this piece and also displayed here is one of our previously sold fossilized ambers with a wasp, which sold for $3000. We do have some brass stands left and if you wish to display this specimen, the stands are $65 - it was difficult to find/obtain these stands years ago and not sure if they can even be had currently. As you can see, the wasp sold at auction did have a stand and it helps to display the piece when you are not looking at the specimen with a loupe, magnifying glass or microscope. One can spend time viewing this specimen in detail and it is amazing to look at an insect that was alive millions of years before and it still looks as it did at that time! (ai-23-02) $750

fossilized wasp in amber -  All That Glitters auction item
A Very Fine Example of a Fly in Amber from the Dominican Republic - approximately 30-40 Million Years Old. This is a well known and sought after locality where some of the amber found contains insects or vegetation. Nicely preserved with lots of detail - compound eyes are very clear as well as other details. There are other insects in this piece too, some look to be mosquitos (mating?) and there seems to be something else also. We have done well with similar items at auction, typically selling for 2 to 4 times the listed price on the All That Glitters website. Clicking on any image will produce a large image of this piece and also displayed here is one of our previously sold fossilized ambers with a wasp, which sold for $3000. We will include a FREE Brass Stand if you wish to display this specimen - it was difficult to find/obtain these stands years ago and not sure if they can even be had currently. As you can see, the wasp sold at auction did have a stand and it helps to display the piece when you are not looking at the specimen with a loupe, magnifying glass or microscope. The video shows some more detail and angles so as to have a better idea of how special this piece is. One can spend time viewing this specimen in detail and it is amazing to look at an insect that was alive millions of years before and it still looks as it did at that time! (ai-23-01) $1275

The Next Three Gemstones have just come back from AGL Certed!

natual 1/2ct alexandrite
A fine blue green to purply Natural Alexandrite weighing 0.49cts. Prices have climbed dramatically over the past few years on this material, and still extremeley difficult to obtain good material as most is included, overly dark and the color change isn't worth noting. The blue green on this one is really strong and it will go to a purple color. Small but nice considering what is on the market and avaialble, but that can always be said of this material! (big-24-01) $2940 (Great price on this!)

large natural pink topaz - ouro preto
We were fortunate to find such a nice precision faceted 6.53ct Natural Imperial Pink Topaz (Certed!) originally mined in Ouro Preto decades ago. The cutter of this piece is a Well-Known Multi-Award Winning Cutter whose work is in museums. Pink Topaz of any size is quite rare and this is considered to be a large one! Clean, properly faceted, high polish all mean that this is an important gemstone! (ggc-24b-01) $13060

large ouro preto imperial topaz
One has to be very lucky to encounter a Fine Quality Colored Ouro Preto IMPERIAL Topaz now. Large pieces just don't exist. Very rare to find larger crystals and typically they are far from clean and therefore, they are more mineral specimens and not for cutting gemstones. However, some larger crystals might have a section of clarity in the center and that was the case of this piece. It was purchased by a friend/associate of ours decades ago and he found a clean section that allowed him to facet this almost 20ct gem! The cutter is known as being a Multi-Award Winner, winning another prestigious award just this year from AGTA for his entry into the Cutting Edge Awards Competition. His work is also on display in a museum in Tucson. This 19.45ct Pear Shaped Imperial Topaz is entirely clean and has been precision faceted by the cutter; perfection in cutting and the polish only enhances this gem as the facets act as mirrors and reflects light on the surface while light is reflected internally! In Tucson 2024, with dealer from around the world, the owner of All That Glitters walked all the shows looking for anything equivalent in this size. Only one gemstone of 18.84ct was found; the next closest was 14.94cts. The prices were actually displayed along with these gems - our price on the All That Glitters Website is essentially the price offered to the trade. We have a price of Only $2100/ct on this massively large Ouro Preto Imperial Topaz. We would expect a markup to be between 50-100% in a retail store. (ggc-24a-04) $25233

The Next Several Tables are Gemstones Faceted from All That Glitters Rough and just back from one of Our Specialty Cutters!

This Includes: Blue Flash Amethyst, Ametrine, Lab Grown Alexandrite, Lab Grown NEON Garnet, Oregon Sunstone, Two Large Ukrainian Topaz of Wonderful Color, Lab Grown Alexandrite and Lab Grown NEON Garnet!

For those gemstones where a decent video was obtained, we have posted them without standard photos. Note as usual, the Alexandrite is difficult to obtain accurate color change in photos or videos, so check out previous descriptions on our Lab Alex page - Lab Alex

Our cutter used an old fashioned cutting style on these two blended/special Ametrines as the rough was shallow, but they produced lively colorful gemstones that show various colors when tilted/moved. This larger culet size is an older faceting design that diamonds as well as color gemstones used many decades ago and is currently a trade mark of the cutter Jean Noel Soni's cutting style. He has quite a following in this style of cutting and larger gemstones can be produced from the rough; just another cutting style which we have never done before but our cutter chose this design when cutting these two pieces. NOTE - This is the last of our blended/specialty Ametrine Rough to be faceted which is hand chosen by the owner of the mine producing this material based on the specifications that we seek, so we can create faceted Ametrines that are unique to the market. We do not anticipate purchasing any more of this rough or faceting any more Ametrines as due to the size of our inventory and the fact that we have been in business for 40+ years, we will be slowing down increasing our inventory.
A B
A - This 6.44ct Ametrine was faceted in a unique shape, a Pentagon, which adds even more interest to this piece as it is not a common shape! Priced to move at the initial price of only $50/ct. (ajml-19-01o) $419
B - A 12.00ct Triangular/Trilliant-like Shaped Ametrine. Priced similarly per carat to the above gemstone, this is only $780 (ajml-19-01m)
A B
A - Pear shaped Blue Flash Amethyst weighing 5.65cts. (afgm-19-01w) $425
B - Fancy Round Blue Flash Amethust of 7.88cts. (afgm-19-01q) $591
A B
A - Round 9.00ct Blue Flash Amethyst displaying LOTS of various colors due to various light source availability!
Most of this material will look similarly when various multiple light sources are available. (afgm-19-01r) $675 SOLD!
B - This Fancy Round Shape is particular good for brilliance and our cutter has done a number of them with our Blue Flash Amethyst Rough. This particular one weights 9.16cts! (afgm-19-01s) $687
A B
A - A Unique Pentagon Shape shows off the various colors of purple as well as blue in this 11.64ct piece of Blue Flash Amethyst. (afgm-19-01v) $931
B - Blue Flash Amethyst in another Fancy Round 13.03cts - rounds always have more brilliance than some other cutting designs. (afgm-19-01t) $1042
Here is a fairly large 13.32ct Fancy Square Blue Flash Amethyst - a darker piece, but when under the right lights such as incandescent light, this piece shows off it's brilliance and glowing color! (afgm-19-01u) $867
A B
A - A nice deep orange Oregon Sunstone weighing 2.44cts with Schiller. (demco-20-01a) $488
B - A 4.95ct Oval Orangy Oregon Sunstone showing not only Schiller, but this other internal inclusion that seems to be a void that has a flat crystal, possibly a large piece of Copper Schiller, that catches the light and shines! When the stone is backlit under a microscope, the crystal appears black. This is one of those unique inclusions that GIA's Lab would most likely like to view and study and publish in their Gems & Gemology Magazine. This gemstones would be desirable for someone who would like an American Gemstone, perhaps an Oregon Sunstone that has not only schiller, but also this unique crystal!... (demco-21-01e) $866
large Oregon sunstone
large Oregon sunstone
Perhaps the Finest RED Oregon Sunstone that we have ever had in our inventory since we started our association with Oregon Sunstone Claim Holders in 2007. It does have the much sought after Schiller in various places within this gem and you can see some of this on the left hand side in the photo. This is also a large piece (9.47cts!) for this color or a fine Oregon Sunstone in general. (demco-21-01c) $3780 (Below the wholesale cost in 2016!)
large Oregon sunstone
This is the Largest and Deepest Colored Oregon Sunstone that we have ever had in inventory or have faceted from rough that we have obtained. This is an orangy red and weighs 20cts! (Yup, 20cts of Luscious Orangy Red Oregon Sunstone!) Slightly sleepy due to the Schiller found throughout, but as you can see, the photo seems to show it off fairly well - the video is not the best, but we wanted to include it. (demco-21-01a) $7000 (Below the wholesale cost in 2016!)
large Ukrainian topaz
40.48ct Marquise Shaped Ukrainian Natural Topaz - Orange to Smoky Orange depending on available lights. We were extremely lucky to find two pieces of Ukrainian Brandy to Smoky Orange to Orange Colored Topaz Rough which one of our Specialty Cutters faceted and created this unique Marquise shape - not far from an oval and at first glance it does indeed look like an oval. This is a large gemstone for an Orangy Topaz. This material is known as coming from this one area of the world and this Topaz is known to change color to blue while the crystal is growing, and therefore, you will frequently see this material faceted in emerald cuts where part of the gemstone is a very light blue and the other half is this unique pleasing color. These Bicolored Topaz tends to be in large sizes as the blue is very light so the larger/deeper the stone, the more noticeable the blue. We encountered this material being sold by a Ukrainian and just had to have both pieces that were available - one of the reasons was that there was an example of this color of Topaz faceted and we thought the color, the size and polish were all attractive and definitely desired to have our cutters work their magic on this available rough. We have never had this color of Topaz in our inventory during our numerous decades in business. This was a must have! Also, at this time, supporting those in the Ukraine was also a consideration. There are some very small inclusions (pinpoints) but they are so small and the stone is exceptionally large and therefore really has no affect on the brillance, the gem or the price! (mnrlks-24-01b) $3238

hough this material did not originate in another famous deposit of orangy Topaz (Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brasil), it also doesn’t have the price of over $1000/ct wholesale associated with a fine orange gem weighing about 19ct from this locality, which we were seeking and did indeed find only one within all the thousands of dealers at the Tucson Show in 2024. We got a great yield/return from the rough to this faceted gem – this color shifting gem is selling at only $80/ct, which is about what the trade price was in Tucson as seen with the one dealer we encountered that had this very special material available in a few pieces of rough as well as one faceted gem. Yes, we saw the faceted gem and had to buy two pieces of rough to have our specialty cutter perform magic and create the two faceted gemstones we currently have and are offering! (We thought the color was unique and beautiful and this material takes a high polish. Just had to have this material in the All That Glitters Collection!)
GIA recently published an article of this very Topaz location in the Ukraine. You can see the color of the above Topaz in some of the photos showing the bicolor nature of this deposit, being a light blue and typically this light orangy sherry color. In the case of our gemstones, the rough was all orangy vs. having blue, and you can see that the saturation of our gemstones is superior to the light versions shown in the photos. Read the GIA article below and View the Photos - as noted, this material is in demand and this color is not commonly seen - in fact, there was only one dealer that had the rough and a faceted gemstone of this color available in all of those dealers we visited at the Tucson Show in 2024.
Ukrainian Pegmatitic Heliodor and Topaz
large Ukrainian topaz
48.20ct Lively Ukrainian Topaz (Oval) - Orange to Smoky Orange depending on lighting. Very similar to the above gemstone in all ways - just a few carats larger and in an oval shape. We were extremely lucky to find two pieces of Ukrainian Brandy to Smoky Orange to Orange Colored Topaz Rough which one of our Specialty Cutters faceted to create this stunning oval. This is a large gemstone for an Orangy Topaz. This material is known as coming from this one area of the world and this Topaz is known to change color to blue while the crystal is growing, and therefore, you will frequently see this material faceted in emerald cuts where part of the gemstone is a very light blue and the other half is this unique pleasing color.

A - Lively Large Lab Grown Alexandrite - 24.73ct Oval, from our most recently purchased rough. (This is the last purchase we will be able to make of this material because the U.S. lab growing this material will no longer offer it for sale.) (alx-syn-23-2a2) $2473
B - 25.80ct Fancy Square Cushion Lab Grown Alex - Interesting Shape and a Real Sparkler! (Also from our most recently purchased rough - this is the last purchase we will be able to make of this material because the U.S. lab growing this material will no longer offer it for sale.) (alx-syn-23-2a1) $2580
A B
Our original first gemstone cut from this material was a square and sold pretty much immediately after we faceted it. Here are two more - a round and a square - and this will most likely be the last of this unique material that we will purchase due to the high cost of the rough and the fact that we are slowing down in purchasing after 43 years in the gemstone trade. This is not radioactive but it certainly looks like it, right?? This is a lab grown garnet, specifically Lutetium Aluminum Garnet. It is used as the detector within PET Scanners in hospitals. What you are seeing is the fluorescence under ordinary light. It certainly glows. The video color is indeed accurate and the color is best described as the neony yellowish green similar to radiator/anti-freeze fluid for your car. This material is so unique and interesting that GIA studied the material and wrote an article in their Gems & Gemology Magazine!
A - 15.98ct Round (celuag-23-02a) $1119 SOLD!
B - 16.60ct Square (celuag-23-02b) $1162 SOLD!

oregon sunstone oregeon sunstone
A - A salmony colored Oregon Sunstone weighing 2.56ct. The photo doesn't do it justice. Wish we had more of this color and in larger sizes! A great example of Oregun Sunstone Color! (sunor-24-01) SOLD! (Trade Sale)
B - A nice light coppery color of Oregon Sunstone with wisps of Schiller. Shape is what we would call an arrowhead and the weight is 4.85cts. (demco-21-01f) $728

A very lively peachy orange Oregon Sunstone weighing 3.07cts. The true color is not captured in either the photo or video. (sunor-24-03) SOLD! (Trade Sale)
oregon sunstone kite
8.06ct Kite Shaped Oregon Sunstone, lively and in a light yellow, straw color. (sunor-24-01) $807
lab grown alexandrite faceted round
A 7.70ct Lab Grown Alexandrite - body color is a pinkish purple with melon and teal highlights/flashes. Changes to bright pink under incandescent. Depending on the lights/wavelengths available, various colors will be seen. Note that the colors you see around the edge are the various colors being reflected internally as noted above. A very brilliant sparkler - does have some inclusions scattered inside, but doesn't affect the brilliance and appears eye clean to the viewer. (labalx-24-01) $1155
LuAl garnet
This is not radioactive but it certainly looks like it, right?? This is a lab grown garnet, specifically Lutetium Aluminum Garnet. It is used as the detector within PET Scanners in hospitals. What you are seeing is the fluorescence under ordinary light. It certainly glows. The photo color is indeed accurate and the video shows a haziness around the gem because it is just so fluorescent to the cameras sensors. The color is best described as the neony yellowish green radiator/anti-freeze fluid for your car. This weighs 10.24cts and is just under 10mm square. making this an inexpensive conversation piece. In speaking to someone very familiar with this material, prices can be between up to $200/ct depending on whether "it's really aggressive daylight fluorescence stuff". Yes, depending on the lights, you can see this from MANY feet away - this is super aggressive fluorescence-wise in daylight! This actually puts Paraiba to shame... (celuag-23-01) SOLD!
blue flash amethyst pear
An 8.29ct Pear, Blue Flash Amethyst. Body color is purple but there is that glowing blue color under fluorescent lights. Color rendition in the photo/video is not very accurate, but this is similar to our other Blue Flash Amethysts. (afgml-19-01i) $622
blue flash amethyst round
Our Favorite Amethyst Type and another example of our Unique/Fine Amethyst, which we call Blue Flash Amethyst. It is a Royal Purple with Glowing Blue Highlights. This is an 8.57ct Round - our first round faceted in this material from our rough. Rounds can be difficult to obtain in some gem species. Rounds are a popular shape and this is a wonderful unique glowing color for Amethyst - this gem shouldn't last long especially at this price! (afgm-19-01j) $645

blended ametrine oval
Large Blended Ametrine Elongated Oval weighing 20.49cts. Under most lights, the purple is predominant with bronze flashes coming from the ends. Under bright light such as the light box in which the photo and video was shot, you can see more of the purple and yellow separations. Where the yellow and purple mix, one sees a yellowish to bronze color. A darker gem, but it is not a problem seeing the purple body color with bronze flashes from the ends. (ajml-16b-01f) $1537
large quartz with dendrites
A Very Large 107ct Pear Shaped Clear Quartz with A Wonderful Dendritic Pattern - Not often seen in this seen or this clear. Exceptional and priced to move at a very low price for what this is... (chasgm-24-01) $963 SOLD! Trade Sale
large orangy mozambique tourmaline
This was a find! A Very Large Orangy Tourmaline from Mozambique, whose cutting and polish will dazzle your eyes from the internals in this gem to the mirror surface. Surprised to see such a large clean well cut gemstone in Tourmaline now-a-days. The rough for something like this is difficult to find, not to mention the crazy prices seen out there. Therefore this 15.96ct spectacular Tourmaline is underpriced in todays market. (afgem-24-01) $11,970

tricolor quartz faceted/carved by multi-award winner
A Very Unique Natural Tricolor Quartz carved/faceted by a Multi-Award Winning Cutter, who recently one in a category receiving an award in 2024 from AGTA in their Cutting Edge Annual Competition. This exact material has also won praise when the cutter made a whole suite of these unique pieces, creating a necklace - this prestigious piece resides in the Alfie Norville Gem & Mineral Museum in Tucson. Should you purchase one of these rare pieces, you can visit the related gems and view the necklace in the museum. Note that this unique quartz, growing in zones of deep glowing amethyst, changing to clear and then back to Amethyst, is found in a deposit in Morocco and is not common found in general, not to mention one needs transparent and clean material in order to faceted gems. We love this material and managed to talk our associate into releasing the last few of the pieces he had. This gem weighs 6.80cts and the cutter had a price of $300/ct on this particular piece. We are offering this piece at $200/ct. Save $680 off the retail price that the cuttter/designer was originally asking! Original container with cutters info/price is available and will be used to house this gemstone in transit to its new home in the future! This material from Morocco is known to frequently have hematite legs (inclusions) - any in this gemstone will help to identify this gem species and perhaps even the locality - there is nothing that is readily visible to the nake eye or distracting.(ggc-24a-01) $1360 SOLD! - Trade Sale

This gem weighs 12.37cts and is the largest and most saturated in color in our most recent acquisition. The cutter/designer originally priced this beauty at $600/ct - Our price is currently only $200/ct! Save $4,948 off the cutter/designers original price by purchasing from All That Glitters! Original container with cutters info/price is available and will be used to house this gemstone in transit to its new home in the future! This material from Morocco is known to frequently have hematite legs (inclusions) - any in this gemstone will help to identify this gem species and perhaps even the locality - there is nothing that is readily visible to the nake eye or distracting.

imperial topaz - ouro preto
A 3.43ct Imperial Topaz from Ouro Preto. The price of fine Topaz has gone up over the past few years. It is difficult to find quality rough. This is a real beauty having the hint of peach, some pink and orange body color, and it is a nice shape for a ring or pendant. (bzmgm-24-01) $5145
chrome sphene
chrome sphene
Most people probably haven't heard of Sphene before, but it comes in various colors, such as yellow, orange, brown and green. It is known for being highly dispersive, even higher than diamond; so you will see Fire coming off of most of them. So much at times that you can't miss it in some colors/cuts. Chrome Sphene is rare as it contains Chromium and is a deeper richer green than the non-Chromium containing Green Sphenes. It frequetnly has inclusions, especially if the gems are on the larger side. The price for larger Sphenes can disappoint many as the larger pieces, with dispersion, that dazzle the eyes are higher in price per carat than smaller ones. It is a softer gemstone and the recommendation would be to wear it in a pendant. This 2.10ct is real beauty and in both photos here, you can see various colors coming off some of the facets - that is the Fire/Dispersion! (ik-24-03) $840
lively orangy zircon
A Very Lively 7.11ct Orangy Zircon with a great polish - so one has internal sparkle/brilliance and major reflections off of the facets due to the polish! Dispersion is evident too, making it look like a fancy diamonds. (ik-24-02) $2133

certed 2.50ct Sapphire in Platinum with 1ct of diamonds
A Stunning Glowing Blue Sapphire weighing 2.50cts, Certed by GIA, surrounded with 1cts of Diamonds, set in a Platinum ring (estate piece). Note that the carat weight of the Sapphire as well as the diamonds and the fact that it is Platinum is stamped on the inside of the band. Approx ring size is 6-1/4; can be resized to fit as desired (within reason). (rs-24b-01) $11,500 (Calculations show this is at about 70% off of the retail estimate - therefore a savings of 30%)

hot magenta pink 5+ct sapphire with 1cts diamonds set in 18kt ring
Photos cannot do this Pink Sapphire/Ring Any Justice! The color is a Glowing Magenta Pink and lively, flanked by two Natural Diamonds. The Sapphire is a whopping 5.33cts and is certed by AGL. The Diamonds are SI1/G-H in color and weigh 1ct in total weight, so therefore, 0.50cts each. Set in a newly designed custom 18kt Yellow Gold Ring - approx ring size is 8 and should be easily sizeable. Pink Sapphires of this size are in demand and have increased in price over the past few years. The total estimated retail price for this is approximately $40k. When we saw this large Sapphire, we knew that the designer must have had this for some time as the price didn't truly reflect pricing of the center Sapphire at todays prices; perhaps it had been hidden away in inventory/the vault for some time. So here is another steal from All That Glitters. Calculations based on the current pricing of a 4-5ct Pink Sapphire at the 2024 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show indicate that the retail price of just the Sapphire is slightly over $35k. (Calculations show a savings of about 30% off of the estimated retail.) Photos cannot capture the real beauty or true color of this piece. This is a Must See (and a Must Wear!) (dei-24-01) $28,000
AGTA (American Gem Trade Association) published an entire article about Pink Sapphire earlier this year, and the eye catching first few lines were: "Pink sapphires have garnered significant market traction worldwide, particularly among luxury brands expanding their offerings of precious colored gemstone jewelry."
Expect prices to keep increasing in this color, especially for larger sized gems - which the center Sapphire in this ring certainly is!

1.80ct Natural Alexandrite with 1.32cts diamonds in Pt ring
1.80ct Natural Alexandrite with 1.32cts diamonds in Pt ring
A large 1.80ct Natural Alexandrite Oval set with 1.23cts of Diamonds in a Platinum Ring (estate piece; approx ring size 5 - sizeable). Weight of the Alexandrite, the diamonds and metal type are all stamped on the inside of the band. Ideally, we would like to see this recut slightly to improve the brilliance and perhaps improve the saturation, but there is not sufficient material in the pavilion to keep the outer dimensions so it would continue to fit into the existing opening in this ring. Natural Alexandrite has gone up dramatically in the past few years. What is on the market typically hasn't been thrilling us due to size, being overly dark, poor cutting, clarity issues and especailly pricing. Regardless of how poor we feel Natural Alexandrite faceted gems might be out there, they continue to sell and at high prices.

As always, one needs the right wavelengths in order to view color changes/shifts in gems and not all are dramatic changes. This does go form a variation of green to a purply color. While visiting with a goldsmith, we showed him this ring and between the diffused daylight from a window and his other lights, he was impressed with the color change. We have a price on this entire ring where in the current market you couldn't purchase just the Alexandrite. It is also a plus that it is set in a Platinum ring and has essentially one and a quarter carats worth of diamonds! Just to set this piece with all the gemstones is a costly undertaking. In one ring that we created in the past, we had lots of colored accent gems as well as diamonds, and it cost over $1000 wholesale to set all the gems.

Alexandrite, Ruby and a few other gemstones can be quite a challenge to obtain accurate color renditions regardless of the device being used. Unfortunately, though we sometimes believe we have obtained a good shot with accurate color, when the photo is transferred to another device or even uploaded to a website, the color can be quite different from what the eye sees or the original photo. With websites, some of this is based on the codecs that different websites use, and with devices, it is frequently related to what people has selected for color display, etc.

Due to the wides range of wholesale prices and qualities of Natural Alexandrite seen in the trade currently, it is difficult to determine the estimated retail price for this piece; however, at this price, the Platinum Ring and Diamonds might be a freebie as the center Alexandrite might be selling elsewhere at the price for this whole ring and from what we have recently seen at the 2024 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, some wholesale Alexandrite of this size is selling at the price of what we are offering this ring at...pricing of Natural Alexandrite is across the board on the wholesale and retail level currently and is not expected to decrease, which has been noted in numerous trade articles over the past two years regarding the prices of fine colored gemstones.

A - Deep Pink Topaz, 3.68ct Pear. Gemstone purchased from a jewelry store who bought these many decades ago. We purchased this in hopes that it could be natural or irradiated, and the price per carat would have been something like $2500/ct, but AGL Lab indicated that the color is due to a coating, so clear natural topaz with a coating that provides this deep pink color.

Estimated 9ct Checkerboard Tanzanite Estate Ring - 1/2+ troy ounce Gold and Diamonds!
An Estate Piece with a large estimated 9ct Checkerboard Tanzanite in a 16gram 14kt yellow gold ring (that is over 1/2 a troy ounce), brushed gold on the sides, highly polished elsewhere, with 6 diamonds weighing an approximate total of 42pts (0.42cts) and approximately VS and white. Could be worn by either a man or woman - but would be large on some hands. It is approximately a size 7. We have obtained a faceting diagram of a similar checkerboard design and have used that information to estimate the weight of the Tanzanite - and it does indeed come out to be about 9 carats as was indicated to us initially. This can easily be sized, but if it is going up a size or more, the gemstone will have to be removed during the process. It can be sized perhaps slightly up or down without removal. Our recommendation is to wear it as is if possible.

We have also made some calculations on what the retail price of this would be in a store, and have used similar products found on the Stuller website to make these calculations - and they appear below. We have also calculated the estimated cost to create this piece for a customer at the All That Glitters pricing which is always less than retail.

Estimated Retail Calculations Show Pricing to be:
Tanzanite - $16,000 (see image grab further below)
Gold Ring (based on $2,040/t.oz) - $3,700
Diamonds - $700
Cost to Set - $400 (rough estimate - difficult technique to set both the Tanzanite and the flush surface diamonds)
TOTAL: $20,800

All That Glitters Calculation to Reproduce for Retail Customer:
Tanzanite - $6,300 (Visit our Tanzanite page to view our Tanzanite Pricing)
Gold Ring (based on $2,040/t.oz) - $2,500
Diamonds - $470
Cost to Set - $268 (rough estimate - difficult technique to set both the Tanzanite and the flush surface diamonds)
TOTAL: $9,538

All That Glitters Savings: $11,262

Retail prices might vary, but the calculations for the gold ring, diamonds and cost to set should be pretty accurate. The price of the Tanzanite could vary. We estimated the price per carat from All That Glitters to be $700/ct - for a larger gem and nice color, this is a great price.

If ring is not sold in a certain timeframe, we will consider recovering the gold content, using the diamonds on future projects and selling the Tanzanite as a loose gem.

GIA CERTED/Laser Inscribed 1.06ct Diamond, VVS2/J - Estate Engagement/Wedding Band
An Estate Piece consisting of both the Engagement Ring and Wedding Band. One doesn't have to keep these pieces intact - the important gemstone in these two pieces is the Center Diamond - Remove that and put into any ring you wish and use the other diamonds as accents.

The Center Diamond is VVS2 in clarity, so extremely HIGH on the Grading Scale. The color is J which is still white but showing some color. It is GIA Certed - so you have no issues knowing the Clarity, Color, Dimensions, Weight, Cutting, Polish and other nfo. You know that the Diamond is the one in the cert, as on the girdle it has the GIA Cert Number etched by laser!

14 karat white gold engagement ring, set with a cushion modified brilliant cut diamond , weighing 1.06ct, of J color and VVS2 clarity, that is laser inscribed and accompanied by a GIA certification #2155377248. Recent measurements estimate the center diamond is accented by approx. 0.74 ct. total weight of round brilliant cut diamonds, of SI clarity or better and of white color. Accompanied by a 10 karat white gold wedding band that is set with more round brilliant cut diamonds - these diamonds are numerous but insignificant in size compared to those around the main diamond in the engagement ring and is a nice match and enhances the engagement ring; nice to have the wedding band available too! Ring size 4 approx (will remeasure if necessary upon request, but can be sized if desired or dis-assembled to create another ring/band if desired - the important gemstone is the 1.06ct GIA Certed Diamond!

Note that since we have dealt with colored gemstones for over 43 years now, and sometimes deal with diamonds (we mandate GIA Certs for all diamonds we sell), we are unfamiliar with retail pricing in either colored gems or diamonds - so did a google search for Retail price of GIA Certed Modified Cushion Brilliant, J Color, VVS2 clarity. We came up with the info via AI and we did a screen grab. Regardless of how many times we did this, we could only get a quote on a VS2 clarity and not a VVS2 clarity which is two full steps higher in clarity. The high end for retail for just the diamond would therefore probably be in the $6700 ballpark as estimated from what was seen on line; that is for the diamond only, not the gold engagement and wedding band or small diamond melee.
We have what we feel is a good price for this piece - which does not only include the major center diamond, but the two gold settings and associated diamonds.
(wsan-23-01A) ONLY $4,100

Note that the clarity described in this screen grab is Two Clarity Grades LOWER than the diamond noted here.
