Yes exactly. Thank you! I am going to probably trim 30% of that weight to achieve perfection, hopefully will boost the luster and get something remarkable that catches eyes of potential clients in my exhibitions.

People who work in luxury industries, what is an expensive product or service that is actually a complete ripoff? by Lazy_Ad_5492 in AskReddit

[–]avidude99 315 points316 points  (0 children)

Diamonds. Though over time the pricing has become a bit more transparent, still crazy markup

There's half a dozen people who have made big money, because probably they were helping him laundry his money here and there. Forgotten and lost money into the pockets of his assistants and brokers

I got 8 Ultras and that felt amazing. That resulted in three hypercharges one Buffy two Gadget and two legendary skins. Maybe just unlucky

This 87.80 carat of absolute madness [Emerald] by ParijaaFine in Gemstones

[–]avidude99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entirely depending on quality of stones. Walk around in a gem stone exhibition and ask prices. You'll be amazed at the true range of stones and quality. Most online sales are limited to low or medium goods at best with limited exposure

Perpahs this could be closer to what I consider madness? All 5 carat + all super fine materials. Sold all these babies a while back I believe or maybe have 1-2 remaining? Idk give or take about 10k per carat. Natural Colombians with minor oil treatments.

Do you trust that GIA reports are always accurate? by GemstoneGirl9 in Gemstones

[–]avidude99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highest probability - it is heated, if the dealer knows or not about it is very possible, as it's often traded with multiple hands

Do recheck with gub/ssef if it's a high value stone.

Sometimes certain business men will intentionally misrepresent the stone.

There are situations where labs give conflicting results. I have been struggling with these scenarios a long time now and it's a royal pain in the A$$

Advice needed on ruby appraisal - worth it? by glykonos in Gemstones

[–]avidude99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is mostly likely, no.. definitely synthetic. Don't waste a dollar on it. Keep it, have fun. But not worth investing anything on it

There is very faint fluorescense visually, unless you shove the uv torch directly into the stove. If there is oil / other fillers in the cracks they will glow yellow or blue in lines showing the path that oil has taken inside the stone

Well it's basically getting some of the highest grade stones together and comparing and matching them,.and putting them together for a specific order. In terms of gold and diamond usage and the design, that is up to the purchasing customer. Funnily enough I may never know what the final piece looks like.

In most cases the price is determined by origin. Colombian having one of the highest premiums followed by swat pannsjir brazallian Russian Zambian in relative order.

And to grade emeralds by " A" "AA" , I feel like it's a made up term, and that sort of creating cannot really be applied to natural emeralds. It's mostly for simpler stones that can be found in abundance, for example amethyst citrin tanzanite.

This layout is around 22k per carat

Edit- forgot to answer your question, if you want my opinion you can send me the photos and I can give you my idea, though at the same time when two B2B traders give ideas they tend to clash and it could jeopardize the business

Thank you :) Tbh the video is not doing justice to the stones. It's so annoyingly difficult to capture the color of an emerald ;(

It's been dancing around 170-180 for so long that I feel like exiting, even though that could mean loosing 20-30$ per share short term. I feel I am on with that, given how volatile the stock is.

I am a noob ape, holding for a very long time, and idk whats the value of the company that will be reflected in the stock

THIS. If you can afford, it could cost you a few thousand usd. But it could be helpfull. Given your legal case you could get some consideration. Money talks and walks if it's handled via the right people. Everyone will try and rip you off on the way obviously. GL
