The listing, Aquamarine & Sky Blue Topaz Gemstone Bundle has ended.
These beautiful blue stones are made to be a set! The light blue of the aquamarine offsets the rich blue of the topaz!!! The bundle is roughly 2 1/2 carats and the sizes are as followed: 6 aquamarine stones are 4x1.5mm, the round topaz are 2.5mm, & the oval topaz are just under 3mm....these would make gorgeous earrings!!!! First scale pic is the carat wt of topaz, 2nd pic is carat wt of aquamarines...... Now for the boring stuff: All Listia rules apply.....I try to be as honest as I can & these stones are flawless!!!!!! If you like them bid away, if you have questions I will answer to the best of my ability!!!! HAPPY BIDDING....PEACE-KIM-
Questions & Comments
juniebug1 - if you would like to learn the basics for setting stones go to tripps.com go to the tripps that sells settings and findings for jewelry not the restaurant. They have a very simple tutorial on how to set stones. They sell pre-notched settings in silver or gold. Also Rio Grande can help you. I have been setting stones for many years and am familiar with these two companies. Now on another note, if you are ordering silver rings from them, check the size with a mandrel. Tripps tends to be half a size smaller on their sizing, they claim it is due to shrinkage. Ah, well when I make them myself, I don't have that problem. It is just a good starting point for amateurs. You want to try to get calibrated stones, so they will fit a standard setting. Like 4x6, 7x5, 8x6, 9x7, 10x8 etc. Hope this helps you out. Trust me when I say you can do it.
Thanks Elaine my Junie is a great designer and I think I own about 4 or 5 of her handmade earrings! !! She is very talented?! I see her making gorgeous jewlery when she starts doing gemstones but don't let the gemstone thing get you Junie, your stuff is amazing! !!
thanks mamta.....I'm away for a day or 2 working off phone. but I just finally won myself a laptop on here. it may not be a fancy smancy new one but for me & my daughter we won't be fighting over the pc anymore!!! glad to see you...keep eye on Friday-Saturday..trying a tier auction (1 item a day for so many days) and trying to put another bundle together
Don't laugh but all my little champs are college kids my daughter is 18 & my 2 boys are 20 & 25....My husband & I have been involved with the league so long it's like extended family! I still work in the concession stand and coach the 5-6 year olds and my husband is on the Board of Directors and also umpires. It keeps us young and busy from the end of March to the beginning of August. I just love doing it! They stood by my side when I fell ill and helped the family alot and for that I felt so proud to help the league when I got better. We have been with them for almost 20 years now! and I still love it!!!

Wow! Not sure, how I missed your comment Kim. I'm glad you got a computer. Well, now I can see more auctions form you. :P About the leaf charm that you had commented on, I have more of these. I have listed 1 right now. I'll list 1 closer to Apr 23 so you can get it if you wish. :)
thanks mamta! I am trying to get my 1 a day sale going by end of week! Come take a look Fri/Sat......hope I can do this, can't seem to get my brain going the last day or two. But I think my work with my baseball little league has slowed down a bit so I can put this together. Plus a charity auction that a new friend on Listia has gotten me excited about!!!! PEACE -KIM-
