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!
Quartz with Rutile Bullet with custom 14kt yellow gold
top/bale - $469 Note that there are a few more pieces available.
Rutilated Quartz Pendant with a Paudarco Amethyst, very heavy 14kt gold - $1875
(This piece was designer for/by the owner of All That Glitters, but has never been worn.
Only shown in a few shows back in the early 1990s and never offered for sale previously.
Goldsmith said he wouldnt do another one as it was very time consuming and the gold content is very high!)
Pendant weighs approximately ½ ounce.In estimating the weight of the rutilated quartz and amethyst,
with the weight of 14kt gold, one of our suppliers of castings (one of the largest in the U.S.)
would charge $3473 (retail) for the gold based on $2732/tr oz and what they are currently charging for
castings/mountings in 14kt gold. Our price of $1875 includes the gemstones and hand-made 14kt gold top.
This piece was done by A.L. David and Co. in Nashua, NH – a well-known custom goldsmith doing fine workmanship.
(He currently has a shop in PA last time we checked) Note that we have a 14kt Snake Chain that would work well
with this piece and was specifically purchased to go with this one-of-a-king custom piece.
(We would charge about ½ the retail price of the current price for a gold chain of this design, length and weight.)
Paudaro Amethyst is the finest Amethyst, with a bluish purple color, coming from Brasil decades ago.

505ts measuring about 2.75+" high. Super Natural Etching
and terminated Ametrine Crystal from the Anahi mine, the Mine known for producing this material.
As you can see as the crystal rotates, not only do you see citrine and amethyst, but there may be some lighter areas that might
even be clear making it a tricolor crystal. When purchased we were considering making slices, faceting stones or even
carving which would be a marvelous thing for this piece! There may be a small area that popped off because of perhaps a
weak area of the crystal near the surface or perhaps an inclusion, but it is a small glassy area and doesn't really look like a chip but it is also not etched.
Would make a wonderful collector's piece, or one could send it to Germany or utilize a US Cutter to carve a unique
design utilizing the various colors of this crystal, leaving some of the natural etching on the back and or sides.

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
Below is a screen grab of an an orangy topaz sold at auction in 2024 by a well-knmown aucton house,
where we have also sold a number of our items, where they actually sold for far more than the original asking price on our website!.
This is described as having a GIA cert, with the following description: "Stone is clean and displays very minor nicks on pavilion and minute surface reaching inclusion on girdle."
This sold for $625 - The commission paid by the successful high bidder, was 30%, so the gemstone cost $813 in total, not including shipping/insurance. The total price per carat
would be approximately $165/ct when one calculates the total paid and the carat weight. Since this is a smaller gemstone, a larger gemstone of this same species would be far more per carat due to rarity of finding the rough
and is a general rule of thumb for natural and less common gemstone species. We can guarantee that the cutting of the All That Glitters gemstone above is far superior to this one sold at auction and
we believe the color of our gemstone is better; it also possess an interesting color shift depending on light/wavelengths available. That being said, we have this at about
50% less than this auction item! As always, we try to purchase as close to the source of the rough as possible and our goal is to be able to offer gemstones
at below wholesale prices, at wholesale prices or between wholesale and retail prices for those difficult to obtain pieces where we sometimes have to pay more to obtain what we desire.
Another All That Glitters Bargain!
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,

Another All That Glitters Bargain!
Wanted to share another of our rarities that have been stashed away for decades that we encountered in the past
that we just had to have for inventory! These were available through one dealer and only for a short timeframe. Over all these decades we have never seen this material
again. At the time, he had a nubmer of pieces, and as always, All That Glitters chose the most interesting and aesthetically pleasing of the entire group.
We only had 3 and we recently sold one - leaving only 2 available....
This is Incredibly Rare and One-of-a-Kind Naturally Forming Fossilized
material. Found in Indonesia in very limited quantities, it has been identified
as being either Bamboo or Reeds (via lab anaylysis), which became fossilized with
layers of colorful Agate. When sliced, you can see the original organic living
shape of what has become Agatized over millions of years. We have heard they are
no longer finding this material, and that it was being found in a volcanic area
in Indonesia.
(clmsh-12-01a) SOLD!
(approximately 3" high)
(clmsh-12-01b) $350 (approx 3" high)
(clmsh-12-01c) $500 for the pair. If you would like only
one of the pair, the price would be $300. (approx 2" long) Note that you
can see the original organic matter shape in the right hand photo which
seems to be either bamboo or reeds!
This is a unique piece with lots of history, including recent history of the past month! This bowl/serving dish is composed of numerous fossils found in Morocco.
It measures just over 4" across and is unique in that you have a nice play of various colors vs. the standard consistent color of these typicall fossils, with this one
shows a nice reddish color possibly due to iron. The fossils consist of Orthoceras as well as an Ammonite which is actually raised above the surface on the edge,
creating a more unique and interesting design. This can be used as any kind of holder, perhaps a small tray for cheese/crackers, olives, nuts or even an ash tray.
(Note - Trilobites and Orthoceras are the most common fossils found in Morocco. Other fossils that can be found in Morocco include ammonites, dinosaurs, coral, shark teeth, goniatites, crinoids, and brachiopods.)
During travel in Morocco recently, an eye was kept open for minerals, fossils and amethyst. This particular item came from a 20 year old young man (possibly married already as he wore a gold band on a finger)
and was responsible for overseeing dromedaries (one hump camels) in part of the Sahara Desert. In showing his wares that he had for sale, this item caught our attention because of the nice fossils and
unique coloring not often seen in these fossils. There was also the desire to make a purchase to help him out, as well as his family, so we gladly made this purchase. This item is only $40 and INCLUDES Shipping and Full Insurance.

NEW Price - Only $200/ct!!
A - 4.61ct Oval Opal (vst-15-01a) $922
B - 4.91ct Elongated Opal (vst-15-01b) $982
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. (ik-24-01) $6820
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
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 were Recently AGL Certed!
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!)
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) $16,325 This is only $2500/ct, which was the price
of a 5.02ct Pink Topaz in one of the main Tucson Gem and Mineral Shows in 2018, and that was in 2018 and for a smaller gemstone!!!)
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
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 - 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

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
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!)
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!)
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.)

Sharing a customer's ring just completed - Here is another customer created/modified setting designed using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase!
This particular piece consists of both lab grown Diamonds and Alexandrite. The Diamonds were custom faceted from the rough
per dimensions desired by the customer and the Alexandrite was faceted from All That Glitters rough. Set in 14kt engagement band where
this ring was modified to mesh with an existing family wedding band.

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
8.06ct Kite Shaped Oregon Sunstone, lively and in a light yellow, straw color. (sunor-24-01) $807
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
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
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
A 7.59ct Blended Ametrine Oval. (ajml-19-01l) $570
A Lively Blended Ametrine in a Fancy Round Design - 13.18cts. (ajml-19-01j) $1318
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
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
The Trade is Seeing Some Large Fine Quality Opal
After looking at literally thousands of pieces, only a few meet criteria
for the All That Glitters Collection
Below are two examples, followed by an even large piece below showing Incredible Play of Color!
A - Large 13.57ct Elongated Pear Opal - as you can see, the colors are Phenomenal!
Upon request, we do have a video availalbe, though it is not the high quality videos we attempt to create. (psp-24-01) $2035
B - A 15.83ct Pear Shaped Opal, showing lots of Play of Color, another great example.
Upon request, we do have a video availalbe, though it is not the high quality videos we attempt to create. (me-24-01) $2375
Fine 23.42ct Cushion Opal with high dome showing incredible swarths of all kinds of colors!

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 10.75cts and the cutter
had a price of $600/ct on this. We can offer this piece at $200/ct. Save $4300 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-02) $2150
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.

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
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
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%)
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!
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. (rs-24a-01) $18500
*** Two Indredibly Dark Aquamarines ***
Most in the trade would think these are blue Topaz or Zircon, Possibly Tourmaline.
Selling at the approx wholesale prices seen in Tucson!
A - 1.82ct Trilliant Deep Blue Aquamarine (gp-24-01) $2184
B - A large pear shape weighing 3.97ct - origin is Madagascar, which has some incredibly deeply colored
Aquamarines, including a cushion shape that we have in inventory that is so deep blue, most don't recognize it
as Aqua and might be one of the most saturated blues seen in the trade (and without grey as a modifier!) Photo doesn't do this gem justice -
the color is actually more saturated in person than the photo shows...(prigem-24-01) $5955
*** Very Deep Pink Topaz ***
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.
Should be stable unless recut or repolished. (ajay-24-01a) Only $175 We will provide a copy of the cert as noted below.
B - Deep Pink Topaz, 3.78ct 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.
Should be stable unless recut or repolished.(ajay-24-01b) $200 - and comes with the original cert which cost over $120 which included the shipping.
A - Neony Pink Oval Sapphire weighing 1.53cts, from Madagascar and Unheated. Photo does not
capture the brilliance or true color. (egl-24-01) $3825
B - Triliant Sapphire, Unheated, 2.11ct Blue-Purple. (blgj-24-01) $4853
This 3.12ct Round Tourmaline hails from a very important source in Blue Green Tourmaline - Namibia.
This country has produced some incredible colors and gems, including this one. The photo does not do this justice - the color
is essentially a deep green with hints/flashes of blue. Another must see KILLER gem in person in order to truly appreciate! (agc-24-01) $3120
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 44 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.
