The value of my listings is in the gemstone. All my gems are true earth mined gems, not man made. Please take the time to read our listing: "Silver or Gold, what should I buy?" available on home page of my store.
Please read the below information at least once before buying from me, as it applies to all the gems I sell.
Better gems and jewelry items are kept in bank vault for security purposes and retrieving an item can cause a slight shipping delay. This opal was appraised by an independent master valuer for $2,140 Canadian (Steven Knight, GG,R.M.V.,CJA-CAP. ) Master valuers are THE experts on coloured stones, and signed sealed appraisals from them are accepted by insurance companies as verified retail replacement value. Opal is an alternate birthstone for those born in April and October. One of my favourite gems. My price is determined by what I had to pay. Some I have had for decades.
Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.
