I have been a gemologist for decades and I am now retired and do this to raise funds for animal sanctuaries. My selling price is determined by what I had to pay, and it is always far below retail replacement value. Many were purchased years ago. The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads
For those that do not want to settle for imitations, this is a chance to buy real gems at good prices. All gems have been examined by at least one gemologist. Many by a master valuer. There are an incredible number of fake gems out there. All my gems are earth mined, genuine gems. Why settle for imitations. Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
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.
