I won this gorgeous gemstone along with many others in one of those storage locker auctions! I am not a gemstone expert so I took them to a pawn shop and paid to have about 100 of them tested, it was really expensive! The ones I tested turned out to match their certificates. Almost ALL of the Rubies I list have been tested on a Precidium II I am posting all of my gems at less than wholesale prices. After paying to get them tested I was told that I should have them graded and THEN get them appraised and THEN I would have to find a buyer to pay a ton for them. It all seems so exhausting . . . not to mention expensive! I realized that I will never get around to selling them because of all the steps. They've been in a locked closet for over ten YEARS. So I thought that I would just sell them for about what it costs to get tested by a professional and taking into consideration the size and cut of each gem. I haven't enhanced the color of this pearl at all it is so vibrant! You can see from the back that it is a naturally formed pearl but that will be covered by the setting of the jewelry piece you pick for this. Pearls are coming back into style in a big way and I am so happy about that because they are so unique and the luster of a good pearl improves the more you wear it so it is a great thing to pass down for generations. Comes with Certificate and Gem Box.
