EMERALD VALUATIONEmerald valuations are based on the following characteristics:Colour, including blue/green ratio, saturation and hueClarityCarat WeightTransparencyInclusionsTreatment Gorgeous large loose emerald in a lovely green/blue colour - highly sought after. It is noted as GREEN on the certificate, which gives you an idea of its very good colour. It is almost impossible to find genuine emeralds that are this clear and clean. Most will have major inclusions. This emerald is completely transparent and has a few of the straight slim stripes within it. This makes it a valuable Columbian emerald - due to its size (carat weight), colour, clarity and cut. This beautiful gem would suit a ring or pendant and, when made into jewellery, will make that piece worth far more than in its loose state. We are selling at about what we paid for it, because we actually found the ring we wanted, however that is difficult to do, when so often issues include 1. the emerald come from Zambia, 2. when so few are clean, 3. most have treatments or fissures that are filled with resin. This certified gem is worth far more than its price here today. Please see certificate for more information and we recommend that it's worth doing some research via google on emeralds, what to look for and prices based on cut, colour, clarity and carat weight, as well as origin. As do most good sellers of emeralds, whether mounted or loose, we do not recommend any emerald jewellery be used as a gemstone to wear every day. It has a hardness scale of of 7.5 to 8 on the Moh's scale, which means they resist scratching. That said, they are not as hard as diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. These other precious gemstones can scratch your emerald, so you will want to keep them stored separately in your jewelry box. Emeralds are also not as tough as they are hard. Emeralds can be brittle, especially if they are heavily included. It is imperative that you shield your emeralds from sudden shocks, including thermal shock, or physical impacts. NOTE: Please be very careful of sellers offering emeralds at low prices - particularly when the prices are anywhere from $13 upwards. Emeralds are one of only four precious stones in the world - ruby, sapphire, emerald and diamond, so its price should reflect that. When it's now so easy to produce laboratory grown precious and semi-precious stones, we implore you to be extremely certain that the supplier is selling genuine, earth-mined gems and not their lab produced counterparts, unless that's what you are seeking. Additionally, as carat weight rises, so does the price per carat. For examples of prices per carat of Columbian emeralds and the resulting value of this emerald we are selling today, please see the information below, which is based on this emerald being of a GOOD colour and having minimal, but some TREATMENT - OILING, using the PER CARAT PRICE of 2.00 - 4.99 carats, calculated at 3.28 carats and CLARITY OF VS/SI CLARITY VVS VS/SI SI/I 0.25 - 0.99 carat $500 - $1,300 $600 - $1,000 $350 - $1,0001.00 - 1.99 carats $1,500 - $4.000 $850 - $1,500 $750 - $9002.00 - 4.99 carats $2,500 - $6,000 $1,500 - $3,000 $900 - $1,750 Based on GOOD colour, OILING, CARAT WEIGHT of 3.28 and CLARITY of VS/SI, this values our emerald at between $750 per carat in USD ( United States Dollar ). Full value of this 3.28 carat emerald x $750 per carat = $2460 USD In AUD ( Australian Dollars ) the value of this emerald is $3639 (based on the current exchange rate as at 26/02/2023). Please note that we are selling the gemstone at a vastly reduced price, based on what we paid for it, directly from the cutter. We are selling at $2450 AUD. The Australian value will change in relation to the USD/AUD exchange rate. Experts estimate that up to 90% of all emeralds on the market are enhanced with either oil or resin. This makes it risky to clean emerald jewelry in the ultrasonic or steam cleaners frequently found in jewelry stores. The solutions used in ultrasonic cleaners may cause the oil or epoxy in filled fractures to dissolve, and vibrations may weaken heavily fractured stones. Warm vapor in steam cleaners may cause oil and resin to sweat out of fractures in a stone. Although this emerald is untreated and not heavily included, we still do not recommend using these types of cleaning options. RESIZING AN EMERALD RINGAlthough, in this case, we are selling an unmounted stone, if you end up buying an emerald ring, it is imperative that, if the ring needs resizing, you ensure that your jeweller understands that the emerald must be removed prior to any resizing, or any other changes to your piece. If they do not seem to understand that this is an essential part of the resizing process for emeralds ( and some other gems ), we recommend that you find someone else who does this as a matter of course. Using a jeweller that has been trained by GIA or another good laboratory, is our choice for any changes in the rings we own or sell.SHIPPING Your item will be shipped express, insured with track and trace and signature on delivery. Shipping is calculated based on the item selling at full price. We will recalculate the shipping charges if the selling price is altered, or if you live in an area closer to us, both internationally and domestically. Postage has been calculated at the maximum rate. We only charge you the amount we are charged by the shipping company and it is really the insurance that is so expensive. International shipping will be higher. We previously absorbed the cost of shipping, but the insurance, along with the other fees that we pay, just got too high. At least this way, we can keep the actual price of the item as low as possible. We always use Australia Post Express Post or a courier service. This is so that we can be absolutely sure your item will arrive quickly. Also, in case there is a problem, Australia Post will open an investigation quickly and can usually find your item. Standard Post clients have to wait 30 days to open an investigation and this, in our opinion, is too long for the client to wait. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS/CUSTOMS Please note, that for international buyers there may be customs duties or taxes that may be due and which are the responsibility of the buyer to pay. If you are unsure whether your item will attract customs fees, we suggest that you call your local Customs Department to enquire 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE We are happy to accept returns for almost any reason, as long as the item is in the same condition as when it left here. This also means that if you are buying genuine gold jewellery with gems, you have the time to have your item checked by a registered jeweller, or by a gem laboratory if you wish, if we do not have a suitable certificate already. I will supply a Certificate of Authenticity on request, if no laboratory certificate exists, however you may still want to have your item checked for peace of mind. I ONLY sell items that are genuine, other than in the fashion category, where I sell Swarovski and other fashion pieces. Everything is solid gold, or platinum and all gems are absolutely genuine, earth mined Of course if an item can be proven to have been damaged in transit, you can rest assured that it has been insured. There are steps for you to follow so I can claim the insurance to reimburse you, so please let me know the minute you open the parcel. We pack our parcels very carefully and have had no damage to date. There are only four reasons why you would not be eligible for a refund: 1. If the item has been altered from the original item sent to you 2. If the item is damaged after it has been delivered to you 3. If the item has been damaged in transit and the buyer is not co-operative in supplying photos and a description of how the goods arrived to you. We can only reimburse you when the carrier has accepted responsibility for any damage, which means we will need many photos and a description to supply to them. If the carrier does not accept responsibility for the damage, no refund will be forthcoming 4. If your item attracts customs duties or fees and you refuse to pay them. The goods will not be released to you until that happens and we will not reimburse you for not paying the customs fees We are more than happy to help you in any way that we can and are here to solve any problems for you.

We also please ask you not to leave negative feedback until we have been given the chance to solve your problem. ABOUT US We are one of the truly honest sellers on eBay. We are honest about our descriptions and you can trust that if we say something is genuine, then it is. We have the 30 day money back guarantee for a reason - because we know that what you get is what is described. We buy from the best sources, however they do not always provide certification. We have been buying from the same sources for many years, mostly, and have never had any issues. Occasionally we might find new sources, but we check their items carefully when we get them and only sell them if we are satisfied that they are genuine. Of course anyone can be duped, so if we have made a mistake, you can absolutely send your item back for refund. It has never happened yet! If you wish, we can give you advice about valuation certificates - which mean nothing most of the time, particularly if they come from another country. These values are often highly inflated and you should be very careful not to expect your item to really be worth what they are claiming. In Australia, valuation certificates are done only for insurance purposes and should be read a such. What most of our customers really mean when they ask for a valuation certificate is that they want confirmation that the item they are buying is genuine and well priced. We can promise that with, or without, a certificate, our items are priced well under their real value - often by the thousands of dollars and this is because we buy at wholesale prices most of the time. Please also feel that you can come to us for advice about what to buy and where to find it at a reasonable price, if you are looking for a certain item we don't have. We can either find it for you, or point you in the right direction. So feel free to contact us with any questions if you need help buying jewellery, or other items we specialise in on eBay. We are happy to help to make sure you get value for money and are not duped by bad sellers. We sell on eBay certainly because it's a business, but mainly because it's a joy! Know that when you come to us we want to ensure you get what you want - even if it's not from us! Trust is the basis on which we work and ethics underpin everything that we do. noun. noun. 1. ethics [plural] moral principles that control or influence a person's behaviour
