Here is a unique, custom ring with a round blue topaz measuring 6 mm in diameter and with an estimated weight of 1.05 carats. This gem is a beautiful darker "American" or "Swiss" blue color, kind of bordering on a lighter shade of "London" blue. This gemstone is loupe clean and well cut. Like virtually all blue topaz, this gem has been irradiated to bring out its color, but this is a 100% genuine and natural gemstone. Because the radiation level is low and gems are subsequently "cooled", they are perfectly safe to wear. Blue topaz is a birthstone for December, but this ring is a joy to own and wear regardless of your birth month!
The mounting is by the premium manufacturer based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Stuller Settings. Stuller is known for their quality and is sold in better independent retail jewelry store throughout the USA and beyond. The ring is style number 5754, and it has been customized by bezel setting the gem flush into the mounting. The ring is solid 14 karat yellow gold. It is currently finger size 6.25 but is easily sizable by any competent jeweler. The ring weighs a very substantial 5.9 grams, and the bold design is 12.2 mm wide at the top. This ring is solid gold and unworn; don't be duped into buying a cheap gold-plated ring or someone else's worn-out castoff!
The spiral design of the ring is reminiscent of a galaxy or a hurricane. It struck me that this design would be very fitting for anyone who has endured and survived a hurricane; kind of a reminder that life goes on!
This ring was originally priced at $825 in our brick-and-mortar fine jewelry store that closed in 2020. As we write this, the gold melt value alone of the mounting is over $460! We are offering the entire ring including the beautiful natural blue topaz for a closeout, buy it now price of just $574.99, and we are including FREE insured priority shipping!
At this price if you ever tire of the ring, you'd be able to get most of your money out of it down the road by simply selling it for the gold value! In fact, we cannot lower the price of this item any more because after eBay selling fees and postage, it is already listed at a scrap gold melt value! And if the price of gold continues to rise, we will have to raise the price on this item! We only have one piece of this description, so it is first come, first served.
We are including a nice little gift box as shown in the images that has a nifty integrated magnetic bow. We are also including a certificate of appraisal at full retail value to assist you in getting adequate insurance coverage. The photo here is redacted due to contractual reasons, but your original certificate will be fully signed by our Master Graduate Gemologist Appraiser.
Please look over the information and images carefully. We are listing it with a return privilege in case something is not accurate in the description, but we really don't want it back since we are now retired and are selling it at a closeout price. Honestly...please don't ask to return it for some reason already clearly detailed or shown in this very complete listing! But be confident knowing we have had 100% positive feedback since joining eBay in 2004, and in the fact that our store stocked well-made, quality-inspected jewelry designed for problem-free wear.
Thanks for looking!
