THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED Emerald. This Has been examined by a master valuer, and a retail replacement value of $695 Canadian was determined for the emerald before setting. . Most jewelers know diamonds very well, but little or nothing about colored gems. Master valuers are experts in all stones. An unsigned, unsealed copy of his report iis included. If you wish a copy signed and sealed by him, as i have partially paid for it, it can be arranged for an additional $30. Please read the IMPORTANT TERMS AND INFORMATION page at least once as it applies to all listings. ANY questions, please ask.
This gem deserves a gold setting. Get one at wholesale ,now or in future.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Setting gemstones requires steady hands and good eyesight.... attributes I no longer have. So, I sell this with a rhodium plated silver setting, ready for you to set, or have someone set for you. There are YouTube videos on how to do this.... as long as you have the requirements mentioned re. hands and eyes. You may want to have a gold setting made for this gem, now or in the future.... but the silver setting is an attractive alternative that is included at no charge if you want to use it. Personally I see nothing wrong with rhodium coated settings, as they have the appearance of white gold. To me it is the main gemstone that is important, and I sell only earth mined genuine gems.
The accurate appraisal of emeralds is difficult, as slight color changes can affect price, and, being what is known as a type111 gem, I find the inclusions somewhat confusing. So. All my better emeralds are examined by a master valuer. ANY questions, please ask.
IMPORTANT. All my better gems and jewelry are kept at the bank for security. Retrieving may cause a day or two delay in shipping.
