Robert, I admire your patience, why people are so sceptical, to the point of rudeness, is a mystery to me, I believe people "dis" the auctions so the bids stay low so they can get it on the cheap. Obviously, they would not put a Lab Created Mystic Topaz in 14kt.gold. I buy almost excusivelt Mystic Topaz, and this is a beautiful pievce, I am in a credit lull, if not, I would bid up to 75,000 for this ring, it is STUNNING. I am so sorry the commentators don't take the time to read what you have written so many times, it is frustrating, and it ALWAYS happens when gold is involved, either people are distrustful or dishonest, trying to ruin your auction bids, and then you see the naysayer is the winner, I wish you the very best, had I known this ring was coming down the pike, I would have held on to 100,000 credits, I hope you et the "buying power" you deserve ie:CREDITS!!!!! Thank you for the BEAUTIFUL auction and remember, "You've Got to Accentuate the Positive. Eliminate the Negative, Hang on to the Affirmative and don't mess with Mr.-In Between!!"
