General Info
Lot #0 (Sale Order 1 of 50)
This lot is not for sale. Some pretty nice pieces in this auction, especially at the end of the auction. A few of the items are so fine that we had our gemologist write verification reports for them. All gems sold in this auction are natural, mined from the earth gemstones, unless specifically labeled "Synthetic" in the title or description of the lot. We do our best to fully describe these gems, as well as any treatments they may have. We don't try to pass off synthetics as the real thing. There are a lot of companies out there selling synthetics as genuine gemstones, so be careful where you buy. All of our gems are checked by a gemologist, and most have slight natural inclusions of some kind, verifying that they're real. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ben, our gemologist prior to bidding.

Great Peridot Ring in Sterling Silver -- 1.51 Grams
Lot #42 (Sale Order 43 of 50)
We seized an amazing opportunity and acquired a large parcel of fine sterling silver rings and pendants, and we will be auctioning them off over the next few months. Each piece is unique, there isn't a single duplicate!! Each piece has a huge level of handmade detail and feature large, natural gems, verified by our certified gemologist. Every single stone in these pieces are natural and high grade. These rings and pendants are stamped 925 but are plated, some with an alloy of black rhodium, which is a precious metal used with sterling silver and white gold pieces. Others are gold plated with multi tone gold. But because these pieces are plated, in order to verify the sterling silver quality beneath, we randomly sacrificed some of the pieces from the parcel, sanding through the plating and testing the metal underneath for purity. In each case, the metal underneath tested out as sterling silver. We also test each piece with a high strength rare earth magnet to help determine the presence of cheap base metals. These rings and pendants are all just top quality, and would easily sell for several hundreds of dollars in some cases in a jewelry store. Don't miss out, because like we said, every piece is unique. We'll be selling these rings and pendants over the next several months, but once the pieces sell, you won't get another chance to buy it. We've never seen any pieces like these and may not come across a parcel like this ever again.
