NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: The Greeks regarded the emerald as the sacred stone of the goddess Venus and of the Earth Goddess. The source of emerald in the ancient world was the(recently rediscovered) Egyptian mines(Cleopatra’s Mines” near the Red Sea. The Greeks worked these mines in the time of Alexander the Great and throughout the Ptolemaic Dynasty. The last ruler of the Greek Ptolemaic Dynasty in Egypt. Cleopatra ... moreVII, Queen of Egypt, was often depicted and described wearing fabulous emeralds mined from those same famous ancient mines. Here is a very nice, lightly blemished” or“near eye clean” beautifully colored natural emerald precious gemstone from the Southern Urals of(Siberia) Russia. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Emeralds are nearly 100 times rarer than diamonds, and there are few opportunities to acquire good quality natural emeralds at reasonable prices. The best specimens can bring over $40,000 a carat. This particular precious gemstone possesses the crystal clear mint green color possessed by good quality emeralds. Though it is possible to make out a few blemishes(composed principally of colorless crystalline material) particularly a seam composed of the same material, even with the naked eye; to the cursory inspection of the causal admirer it is without obvious blemish unless the gemstone is inspected closely.

Antique 19thC Rose Sapphire Celtic Roman Greek Sorcery Gemstone

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: In the world of the ancient Mediterranean(including the Greeks. Romans, Persians, Hebrews, and the various Indo-European Celtic tribes) priests and sorcerers honored the sapphire above all other gems, believing that sapphire enabled them to interpret oracles and foretell the future. Sapphires have been since ancient times one of the most highly valued of all gemstones, and references to the gemstone ... moredate back to about 800 B.C. Here's a gorgeous, delicately colored natural bright pastel purple-rose tinted sapphire precious gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia. The color is absolutely incredible, a pastel purple rose color, a blend of purple with rosy undertones. In natural sunlight the gemstone seems to be transformed, colored an even paler shade of purple, with pink undertones. However in artificial light, the rose hue is enhanced, and the purple hue darkens as well. It is a bit reminiscent of a reddish-purple tinted ruby, except the color is much more delicate, or a pink-purple amethyst, except with far greater lustre and sparkle than any amethyst. This incredibly delicate hue imparts really rich character and great visual appeal. The gorgeous shade of rose highlighted purple could perhaps be best likened those occasional petunias and pansies which are a pale cross between purple and rose, or that occasional purple rose which somehow seems to capture the fairyland color which lies between a deep pink blush rose and purple. The faceted cut is a coarse precursor to what eventually became known in the industry as a“brilliant cut” round, the contemporary fini

Sapphires have been since ancient times one of the most highly valued of all gemstones, and references to the gemstone date back to about 800 B.C. Here are two gorgeous, richly colored natural medium blue sapphire precious gemstones from the Ural Mountains of Russia. The ... morefaceted cut is a coarse precursor to what eventually became known in the industry as a“brilliant cut” round, the contemporary finish generally given to round diamonds. The results are two exquisite and incredibly richly colored precious gemstones with lots of fire and sparkle. They are considerably lighter than inky"midnight blue" African or Australian sapphires, more along the lines of the medium blue of sapphires from Ceylon and Burma. The gemstones are not flawless. But are by and large transparent, certainly eye clean. Each possesses rich blue color, not the flat black of inexpensive"midnight blue" sapphires from Siam(Thailand) There is a little color zoning, which means that if you look very carefully and closely you will see areas of different shades of blue within the gemstone. But this is quite common with sapphires, and in no way detracts from its beauty. Aside from being commonplace, the color zoning is not detectable at all except upon very close scrutiny(or photo enlargements such as these) Such good quality blue sapphires are in high demand, and can be quite costly.

Very popular in 18th and 19th century Victorian Scotland, citrine has remained a ... morevery popular gemstone through the 20th century. This particular specimen was handcrafted in 19th century Russia into this sparkling faceted oval. This is a very fine, richly colored cognac-brandy colored semi-precious gemstone, the color and flavor much like a dark golden honey. It almost looks like very brilliant and fiery faceted cognac amber. As you can see from the photo enlargements here, it is not absolutely flawless. To the naked eye it is completely transparent and seemingly unblemished. However in the 500% photo enlargements you can see two tiny blemishes. They're virtually impossible to discern with the naked eye, and to the examination of the casual admirer, the gemstone seems absolutely unblemished. Of course, most of mother nature's produce is not absolutely without blemish. Flawless gemstones generally turn out to be synthetic, man-made. Under magnification the gemstone shows the unmistakable characteristics of having been hand crafted. The coarseness of the 19th century finish is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors.
