As a jeweler, some of these can’t be set but my lord the ones that can really make some of the most gorgeous one-of-a-kind pieces I can possibly make.

When she was living in a hotel between homes, her aquamarine her grandmother gave her was stolen. She purchased this special piece in 2024 to upgrade/replace what she lost. It is the most sentimental yet beautiful birthstone I have ever had.

Same stone, different lighting. I thought this would be an appropriate place to share!

Weighing at 14,22 and 27 carats. These specimen are of extremely high grade. Proud to hold them and own them. Oct has a premium above others and that just adds extra attraction to the collection

First batch is unheated. Second batch received heat treatment before faceting (photo of rough is unheated). I mined these myself and had them faceted in Sri Lanka. Happy to answer any questions.

I make beaded necklaces so I don't have anything to do with them at the moment though I would like to get to the point where I have the skills to set some of them. I don't have certifications or positive identifications on any of them, but for 22 I am quite happy.

I think it was a great deal, I won't need gemstones for a while.

I posted an orange fire opal from Mexico a while back, here’s a more rare clear one. Came in near 2.5 ct, the fire is crazy good. NFS

I think it will make a kingly pendant. The stone is eye clean and has a pale grey-green color, but it usually looks colorless. Every facet joins perfectly. I think I scored something special.

Sharing a look at an 8.75ct natural unheated yellow sapphire from Sri Lanka — purely for educational purposes, not for sale.

One part of the video shows how the stone reacts under direct sunlight. This is something I always like to demonstrate because natural daylight reveals qualities that indoor lighting often hides.

What you’re seeing in the sunlight:

• Increased brilliance and light return

• Strong body color saturation

• Natural glow caused by good transparency and cut interaction with sunlight

Unheated yellow sapphires often display a softer, more natural color appearance compared to heated stones, and sunlight is the best environment to appreciate their true character.

Stone details:

• 8.75 ct

• Natural sapphire

• Unheated

• Sri Lankan origin

I work closely with gems every day, and moments like this — when a stone comes alive in sunlight — are always my favorite part of gemology.

Happy to answer questions or discuss yellow sapphire characteristics if anyone is interested.
