Oregon Sunstone and Moonstone beaded earrings

These beautiful earrings are true chameleons, fitting in with just about any color palate. Starting with a larger 8mm moonstone bead featuring an overall white color with flashes of blue, green, and purple. Next is a vivid purple 5mm amythist bead and a stunning 5mm Ethiopian opal bead that looks clear but then delights with flashes of orange, red, yellow, blue, and green. This pattern is repeated twice, all on handmade sterling silver chain. The overall length is about 40mm (1.5").

There's a big difference between a "natural" ruby and an untreated ruby. Then, there's lab created rubies. Natural rubies can still have undergone treatments, which include heat treatment, oiling, resin filling, and fracture filling. Lab created rubies generally look "too perfect" and generally don't have color variations and imperfections that are the hallmark of natural rubies. The stone in this ring is a 2.6ct untreated natural ruby from Afghanistan. While there are imperfections, the stone is absolutely gorgeous with a deep velvety purplish red hue. It's set in a simple 14k white gold prong setting. The gold weight is 2.43gms. You might never see a natural stone like this at your local jeweler who only stocks the "perfect looking" lab grown or treated stones. If you want the real deal, this is it. This ring would be the ideal engagement ring, anniversary gift, birthday gift, etc. The ring is US size 7 but can easily be resized by any competent jeweler. Normally, the stone alone would cost you $1,000 or more. I'm selling this ring at $900.
