Comment: There is little to add to the images other than this 35 point rubellite sneaked into a big ruby parcel. Terrific color, great cutting, full luster, clarity, no window, no treatments, twice 3*NOS. It will convince as a center ring stone in a slender ladies' ring or, if you give us some time, we may find (with some effort) find a worthy partner to a matching pair of earrings. Note, this is MD75, hence not an in-your-face color (like this) but a deep glittering hue, light loving but never moving into black-outs. See more images, even if you are not in the market for purchases. They are fun even if the new zoom function does not always work as advertised, you can see the gems' soul in the 72xfold magnification.
P.S. The unusual circumstances of this year, personal and in general, have so far hindered us from getting lab reports done, although I dare hope this will change by late May when I will visit Antwerp in person. The price here quoted is EXCLUDING our usual certificate. If you like to have a lab report for this emerald we need to add between $100 for a full IGI report or up to $1,000 for a premium AIG report. It would need a good deal extra time (currently over 12 weeks, sigh). That lab prices in this P.S. section differ is no lazy mistake but reflects the different pricing policies of the gem labs we use. Some calculate via weight, e.g. a 7 carat garnet is more expensive to test than a one carat, others labs go via pieces, when a small sapphire costs as much as a 10 carat gem.
Discuss design options (with a hunted matched pair possible with time)
