Faceted gemstones

These are old stones from a tiara or necklace and they have been ground and drilled to suspend from holes which (mostly) have gold wires attached so they can be suspended without any fuss. Unusual focal point for a necklace. Some colour zoning in these natural stones.

good medium colour stones with a good cut. A little zoning.

7 stones from 3mm round to 6x4mm rectangle. All are of very good colour from cornflower to the dark side of mid blue. They all have small flaws or colour zoning visible under 5x magnification but are much better than most commercially available sapphires which tend to have more of a green tinge.

Excellent cut, colour and transparency for a natural stone. Flaws visible under 5x magnification but do not detract.
