Contemporary High Quality Sterling Silver Ring(Size 7– Resizing Available) CLASSIFICATION: Faceted Pastel Pink Baguette Cut Sapphire. ORIGIN: Southern Ural Mountains(Siberia. Russia) 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 9½mm. Width: 4½mm. Depth(Thickness) 3mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: Approximately 1.51 carats. NOTE: Resizing is available. 14kt solid gold setting is also available. NOTE: If you would like only the gemstone. And not the setting, we can dismount the gemstone and offer you the gemstone without the setting. Just let us know, and yes, we’ll discount the price by the cost of the setting. DETAIL: A gorgeous. Delicately colored natural pink sapphire precious gemstone ... morefrom the Southern Ural Mountains of Siberia, Russia, handcrafted into this sparking faceted baguette in the second half of the 19th century. The color is generally described as“bubble gum” pink– a very beautiful pastel pink with lots of vibrancy and a slight undertone of orange or peach. The color is quite exquisite, the sparkle diamond-like in intensity. It’s a real sparkler, and pink sapphire is definitely much in demand. This is obviously not a flawless specimen. Though the gemstone is absolutely transparent(not cloudy) there are some very small colorless inclusions which can just barely be made out with the naked eye upon close scrutiny. But to casual inspection, it simply is a very beautiful, rather large, quite delicately colored pink sapphire baguette with a lot of sparkle. The setting is of contemporary origin. It is a high quality setting manufactured by one of the USA’s leading semi-custom mount producers. It is constructed of solid sterling silver. We do have the ability to have the ring sent out for resizing if requested. Additionally, if preferred, the mounting is also available in 14kt solid gold. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century

Depth: 3mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 1.25 carats. NOTE: Resizing is available. 14kt solid gold setting is also available. NOTE: If you would like only the gemstone. And not the setting, we can dismount the gemstone and offer you the gemstone without the setting. Just let us know, and yes, we’ll discount the price by the cost of the setting. DETAIL: Hand crafted 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 ... moreRussia. Originally used in indigenous jewelry, this is a very pretty precious gemstone, tourmaline occurred in many of the ancient mines that yielded precious gemstones in the ancient Roman world 2,000 years ago, however it was mistaken for(and thus called) emerald or topaz. The name“tourmaline” came from the Celanese word"turmali, which means"mixed" Bright rainbow collections of gemstone varieties were called"turmali" parcels. You’ll likely never, ever see a gemstone as unique as this. A large brightly colored and textured tourmaline gemstone from Siberia, the Ural Mountains of Russia. Very handsome and quite exceptional in character, this striking gemstone was hand shaped and polished into this very beautiful oval cut cabochon by an 18th century Russian artisan. This lustrous semi-precious gemstone possesses a bright and colorful character. It is a nice quality tourmaline by 18th century standards. The gemstone would be more or less transparent except for the fact that it is so thick. Given the thick cut, it is more toward translucent than transparent. By today’s standards it is not a high quality tourmaline– though its origin makes it nonetheless e
Antique 19thC 4 1/2ct Spinel Medieval Europe’s Crown Jewels Sterling Ring
Antique Genuine Natural Russian Four and One-Half Carat Faceted. Handcrafted Dark, Rich Violet w/Pink Sparkles Semi-Precious Spinel Gemstone Emerald Cut.

Width: 7mm. Depth: 5mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 4.46 carats. NOTES: Resizing is available. 14kt solid gold setting is also available. DETAIL: Often mistaken for ruby or sapphire in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Many of the so-called"rubies" and“sapphires” in Europe's crown jewels are actually spinel. The most famous is the Black Prince's"Ruby" a magnificent 170-carat red spinel that currently adorns the Imperial State Crown in the British Crown Jewels. ... moreLooking like a very vivid and richly hued violet sapphire, one instantly knows it is not merely iolite or amethyst due to the tremendous brilliance and flash of the gemstone. Is it corundum; sapphire or ruby? It has all the fire and sparkle of a precious gemstone. Actually if you were able to examine the crown jewels of the royal families of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Europe from England to Russia, you would find many fabulous examples of this gemstone. And had you been able to ask the actual owners of these gemstone, royalty all, or their royal jewelers as to the identity of this stone, they would have answered ruby or sapphire- corundum. But history would prove them wrong, as many of the greatest, most massive, and most valuable rubies and sapphires in the crown jewels of Europe's royalty were:spinel. With nearly the same hardness as corundum, and similar flash and brilliance(refractive index) it has been mistaken for rubies, sapphires, and other precious gemstones for centuries. This vivid and richly colored and brilliant gemstone shares this heritage. Mined in Chelyabinsk Oblast(county) Russia, the gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russia

And not the setting, we can dismount the gemstone and offer you the gemstone without the setting. Just let us know, and yes, we’ll discount the price by the cost of the setting. DETAIL: For the ancient Assyrians and Romans rose quartz was a traditional gift expressing love or affection. Here’s a very nice quality 18th century antique hand crafted/shaped/polished ... morebright rose quartz semi-precious gemstone from India. This is an exceptionally nice specimen. A beautiful, pastel, delicate rose colored gemstone. Rose Quartz gemstones and jewelry were extremely popular throughout the ancient Mediterranean, and maintained its immense popularity through Renaissance and into Victorian Europe. During the Roman Empire carnelian, closely related to rose quartz, was widely used to carve cameos and signet/intaglio rings. The Romans acquired their taste for both carnelian and rose quartz from the Phoenicians, who traded extensively in both forms of quartz. As well rose quartz was also an important trade good in ancient India. The setting is of contemporary origin. It is a high quality setting manufactured by one of the USA’s leading semi-custom mount producers. It is constructed of solid sterling silver. We do have the ability to have the ring sent out for resizing if requested. Additionally, if preferred, the mounting is also available in 14kt solid gold.

A very large brightly colored and textured tourmaline gemstone from Siberia, ... morethe Ural Mountains of Russia. Gorgeous, vibrant, and brilliantly hued, this striking gemstone possesses breathtaking luster and exceptional tone. This very large gemstone was primitively hand shaped and polished into this very beautiful coarse round cabochon by a 19th century Russian artisan. This lustrous semi-precious gemstone possesses a bright and colorful character. It is a nice quality tourmaline by 19th century standards. The gemstone would be more or less transparent except for the fact that it is so thick. Given the thick cut, it is more toward translucent than transparent. By today’s standards it is not a high quality tourmaline– though its size makes it nonetheless extraordinary. But by 19th century standards, this was a very desirable and expensive gemstone. To casual observation if seems simply a very large, beautiful, quite extraordinarily colored tourmaline. But of course very close scrutiny, especially under high magnification, will reveal lots of sins. The setting is of contemporary origin. It is a high quality setting manufactured by one of the USA’s leading semi-custom mount producers. It is constructed of solid sterling silver. We do have the ability

It is quite striking, very handsome and rich in tone, the color intense yet still delicate, the star quite beautiful. The gemstone was hand shaped and polished into this very beautiful oval cabochon by a 19th century Russian artisan for use in domestic jewelry. The result is an exquisite and incredibly richly colored precious gemstone with lots of depth and gorgeous tone. It is not an absolutely flawless gemstone. Of course it is the alignment of included material which creates the star– so star sapphires always have included material. The question is, how noticeable? With this particular specimen, to the eye, there are no significant blemishes. However with photo enlargement– or examination with a jeweler’s loupe, one can detect very slight color zoning. This means you might notice a slight variations in the tone, as well as a few internal blemishes. However to the eye it is quite beautiful and without flaw. It is only when you examine it under magnification you might be able to pick out some very minor color zoning and a minute blemish or two. Of course, the same can be said of most sapphires in general, and p

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. Medieval sorcerers believed that sapphire enabled them to hear and understand the most obscure oracles. Not only did sapphire help to get in touch with astral and psychic realms, but the stone also provided protection for those who took those journeys. On the flip side, Medieval populations believed that wearing a sapphire as a talisman was an antidote to black magic and effects of evil spirits, and provided protection against sorcery. It was believed to banish evil spirits and send negative spells back to the sender. 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
