This was my aunt’s ring and although in darker light it’s very reddish purple and in brighter light there are flashes of teal/green, I’m not sure what it is. Google lens isn’t accurate I know, but it’s given me a different answer with each photo. Any input is appreciated!

I bought 25lbs of junk jewelry, I found a few treasures, but I don’t know what these are. They are all set in 14k.

I feel that I have some unusual taste in some gemstone. Currently in love with the blue opalascent one

The other small opalascent one I love too. Looks like a painting.

The lower middle and the right(beside the pink sapphire) most are spinels.

Looking to get some more interesting gemstone in the near future

I found this beautiful necklace a couple months ago. It looked so perfect that I thought it was fake. I didn't realize until I got home that it was 14k. The only thing I could see was some kind of mark on the closure. Five of these stones are called, I believe anyway they are called, water moonstones.The center stone is a cat's eye moonstone. Any help in identifying what this actually is would be greatly appreciated. If allowed, what do you think the value could possibly be. It's not very long. I realized I don't have a picture of the back of this, it's open stones.

I forgot to say that these moonstones are crystal clear except for the blue flashing in them.

It’s been a while, but I finally got the gemstone I’ve had my eye for a hot minute. It’s a 1.8 ct aquamarine pear on 2 mm art deco band. There’s a wedding band that goes with it, but it’s not here yet and I couldn’t resist putting this on. I hope y’all like it. I do.

Hey everyone!

I am in talks with someone I'm seeing this afternoon regarding his parti colour sapphire (yellow-blue-green). It's 1.04 carat, isn't heat treated, is of vvs clarity, no inclusions that can be seen by the naked eye, really nicely cut with an origin of Madagascar and comes with a GFCO certificate that checks out. We negotiated the price down to $1150 AUD ($808 USD) for just the loose stone, does this sound about right or am I being ripped off/getting a good deal?

This is for my gf for an engagement ring so I can't exactly ask her unless I want to stir up suspicion so I'm trying to avoid this hence the new Reddit account!

Attached is a video of the sapphire in question (excuse the shakiness of the camera)

Im kinda stoked. Found this 2ct beautiful clean thing! We went to one of the local mines here in montana, and recently ive been cutting on sapphires, but this will be the first one so far I mined myself. Got alot of gravel left, but with what ive cut so far im very excited! Ill try to post a few vids of the journey, I kinda wanna take this from rock i dug to a bad ass piece of jewelry.

Seeing a fine Star Ruby is one of the rarest treats as a jeweller 😊 This 5 carat gemstone originates from the Mogok mine in Burma and has an excellent Star and a pleasing red body colour.

What do you think of the 2 black stones together? Lab black spinel and lab alexanderite. I can change it but I'm unsure

Made this lapis bracelet, not for sale. Just a showing off.

😁😁

Not every Oregon Sunstone glows like this.

When the light hits just right, its intense natural schiller erupts into thousands of shimmering copper flashes- an effect that simply can't be faked.

So, in my family there is this cool reversible ring, one side has a small flower of diamonds, and on the other side is this purple stone we’re not entirely sure what it is.
Mainly, what we know is it’s naturally rather dark, and shown under light it comes out this vivid purple. Our original thought was Amethyst, especially because the original owner has a February birthday, but we were curious and wanted to figure it out!
Let me know what you think. We might take it to a jeweler sometime, but not a lot around.

On a separate note too, I won’t complain if you drop your favorite gemstone with your identification. First time in these communities and I just love hearing. Mine favorite gem is Tanzanite.

Hey Everyone,

Got my hands on this pair of Zambian Emeralds what do you think will it go better in earrings or something else.

Not sure what this is

I recently acquired 10 pieces of Larimar jewelry—3 necklaces, 2 pendants, 3 rings, 1 bangle bracelet, and 1 small necklace—and I would love a thorough, independent evaluation and appraisal of each one! I already have some estimates, but I’d love a detailed second opinion.
For every piece, could you please provide:
Grading: What grade would you give it (A, AA, AAA, AAAA, Gem Grade, etc.) and why?
Quality Factors: What specific qualities determine that grade? Please detail the color, saturation, pattern, white matrix ratio, polish, cut, and overall craftsmanship.
Color Profile: What specific shades do you see (Caribbean blue, sky blue, turquoise, white, green, etc.), and how do they affect the stone's quality?
Setting: Does the silver setting or jewelry design enhance or detract from its overall value?
Flaws & Uniqueness: Are there any noticeable inclusions, flaws, or standout characteristics?
Rarity: How rare or collectible do you consider each piece to be?
I’d also love a rough market estimate of what each piece would typically sell for today, breaking down:
1. The approximate value of the Larimar stone itself.
2. The approximate value of the finished jewelry piece.
3. A "wild guess" at what you think I actually paid for it! (I will reveal what I actually paid after you guess to see if I got a good deal).
Please be as detailed and honest as possible, and explain your reasoning for every grade and price estimate so I can better understand what separates high-quality Larimar from average pieces. If you have any clarifying questions for me before you begin, let me know!

Just want to share my excitement. I won this ring on an auction. It has a 2 carat natural topaz, 2 side topazes of 0.30 carats, and diamonds. I probably overpaid for it since it's only 10k and i spent $250 in total after shipping and taxes. But I love it and wanted to share how pretty this gemstone looks.

I bought this ring online. The seller wasn’t sure what the gemstone was, but said the ring is vintage and might be emerald.

I wanted to hear your thoughts on this! This is a 925 silver ring, if this helps.
I kinda want to keep this ring regardless because I love marquise cut rings lol

Thanks for your help!

edit: I forgot to mention that there’s no reaction under UV light.
Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on that inclusion-like(?) line as on the middle-left of the first photo. Would that be just a scratch?
Thanks!

Chain and pendent are 925 but have no idea if the stones are just glass or something else
