General Info
This lot is not for sale. Lots of fine gemstones in this auction, especially toward the later lots. We've pictured these stones in very high magnification to show all the features of the stones. Most of the flaws and imperfections seen in the pictures wont be seen by the naked eye. These stones are mostly eye clean. And some scuffing on the facet edges is also visible that isn't visible to the naked eye. These gems are almost all VVS clarity and jewelry grade. Most gemstones sold online are not jewelry grade. The cuts are poor and the color is washed out. Genuine, jewelry grade gems are expensive and rare, which is why most of the gems in this auction are rather small. We encourage you to compare our gemstones with other auction houses. You'll see a clear difference in quality. These gems are all cut to calibrated sizes to be used in jewelry. We've tried to put lots together that will be perfect for making jewelry pieces. That's why a lot of the lots are arranged into matched pairs and all the gems of standard, calibrated sizes. 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. When do our best to fully describe these gems, as well as any treatments they 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 certified gemologist, and most have slight natural inclusions of some kind, verifying that they're real. We've attached a copy of the gemologist's certification and membership to the AGTA. Unlike many auction companies, we take extremely high magnification pictures to fully show the stone. We don't hide anything, so you can bid with confidence. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ben, our certified gemologist prior to bidding.
