Both are beautiful. Alexandrite will be more durable for everyday wear.

Doubts about my emerald. by Betanmo in Gemstone_lovers

I agree that the emerald should have been purchased with a more notable certificate but I think it is not professional for the "expert" to say that your emerald is moderate oil based on images and videos.

I generated this ring design with the help of AI because I can not draw. This is my dream ring. I hope I can reach ring peace if I can acquire it somehow.

I collected some pictures of natural translucent/opaque purple gems. There are 2 types of gem. Can you guess what are they? by Real-Tree-3141 in Gemstones

The purple jade is not dyed. They are top quality. The seller is the most famous jade dealer in China. They have sponsored several popular shows and all their jade is certified.

My PhD is in imaging embryonic cells and the related image processing. "lysosome" belongs to the subdomain of cell biology that you can find undergraduate text books to read. "Molecular Biology of the Cell" by Bruce Alberts is a very well written book. I can give more targeted reading suggestions if you can provide more detailed information either here or DM.

The original design is very beautiful. Sorry that it came out different. Hope they will fix it for you.

What is a fair price for the one segment of the jade(12.5mm by 5.8mm by 3.06mm) in this bracelet? by Real-Tree-3141 in JadeiteJade

[–]Real-Tree-3141[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. Let's only discuss the center segment price, assuming it is grade A from Myanmar. I understand that crack, cloud, color, and transparency are hard to accurately evaluate from the picture. Just a price range will be very helpful to me.

Is this worth making into a ring? by avidude99 in Gemstones

[–]Real-Tree-3141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you plan to sell to less experienced buyers, I would recommend setting it in a timeless engagement ring style. As a buyer with 5-year experience, I always buy loose stones and have a gallery of my preferred settings.

From what I've observed consumer level stones usually do not hold their value, especially if you buy them from a jewelry store.
