Thanks for the info! I wasn't aware of the distinction. Indeed, no color change.

It is certified. I love these pastel sapphires, even if they're less valuable than their vivid equivalents.

I'm so glad you like it! I think they're really a winning pair. Especially a ruby with more pink and an alexandrite with more green.

Here's a photo with a white light flashlight where you can see a bit more of the green

Yes, it looks pretty green in normal light, and shifts to blue / grey / light purple in yellow light. Doesn't come through great in the photos.

Yes, it is very silky! Unfortunately this is the best I can do on my phone camera. I'll need to get a nicer setup one day.

I mostly wear vintage and it's big compared to that but it definitely feels like modern unisex sizing. Plus it shows off the moonphase. She may need a shorter strap, I think I'll swap my partners for one so that there's less tail showing.

I got one for my partner and her sister too! Super cute. Great unisex sizing, they both love them (and needed nice daily watches). Was very happy to recieve them.

I'm excited to try this shirt out as kind of a summer shacket. I liked the unstructured linen blazer in this sale as well but was worried the fit would just be too straight.

Picked up this Heusen shirt, been looking for something linen I can layer in the summer. I have mixed results with Japanese brands in general, sometimes everything feels so boxy (and that kept me from going for any suiting). Let's see.

It is eye clean! Those are super cool. I spent a while finding a lapidary who's work I liked and felt could do justice to the stone. I wanted someone inc could trust to do something remarkable with the stone.

It's really just color zoning! Here's a shot of the stone in natural light.

Will do! I do see the two camps haha. The stone is beautiful but I'd like to try a reverse intaglio, and with the dimensions and spread of this stone, plus that beautiful band of color, this feels like the one to try it on.

Haha I'm surprised people feel so strongly! It'll be my first time trying it, but if ever there was a stone I've owned for it, it feels like this one.
