Estimated 9ct Checkerboard Tanzanite Estate Ring - 1/2+ troy oz Gold and Dias

About the Item

An Estate Piece with a large estimated 9ct Checkerboard Tanzanite in a 16gram 14kt yellow gold ring (that is over 1/2 a troy ounce), brushed gold on the sides, highly polished elsewhere, with 6 diamonds weighing an approximate total of 42pts (0.42cts) and approximately VS and white. Could be worn by either a man or woman - but would be large on some hands. It is approximately a size 7. Color of this Tanzanite varies depending on the lights, but it does typically show both a glowing blue and a purple/lavender color - and perhaps leans towards more blue or more purple depending on the wavelengths available. We have obtained a faceting diagram of a similar checkerboard design and have used that information to estimate the weight of the Tanzanite - and it does indeed come out to be about 9 carats as was indicated to us initially. This can easily be sized, but if it is going up a size or more, the gemstone will have to be removed during the process. It can be sized perhaps slightly up or down without removal. Our recommendation is to wear it as is if possible. Has been cleaned and polished. One sees VERY little use at all on the gold, so it is in very good condition. Nothing needs to be done. We have also made some calculations on what the retail price of this would be in a store, and have used similar products found on a trade website to make these calculations - and they appear below. We have used this business for mountings, small diamond melee, etc. but there is no need for colored gemstones since this is our business! It is possible to display the retail price for items, so we have sued that info and also have grabbed the info showing the retail price they estimated on cushion shape of 8cts. Estimated Retail Calculations Show Pricing to be: Tanzanite - $16,000 (see image)) Gold Ring (based on $2,040/troy oz) - $3,700 Diamonds - $700 Cost to Set - $400 (rough estimate - difficult technique to set both the Tanzanite and the flush surface diamonds) TOTAL: $20,800 All That Glitters Price is $11,745 Therefore, All That Glitters Pricing Saves You Just over $9,000. Retail prices might vary, but the calculations for the gold ring, diamonds and cost to set should be pretty accurate. The price of the Tanzanite would vary the most over all the calculations made. --> NOTE that photos were taken prior to cleaning and polishing, so it looks even better now in person!! If ring is not sold in a certain timeframe, we will consider recovering the gold content, using the diamonds on future projects and selling the Tanzanite as a loose gem. Note that we do have other Tanzanites ranging from small sizes to a 25ct Certed Oval. Unlike most businesses, since fine color is our trade for 43 years now, we also have Fancy Tanzanite in Green, Teal, Purple, Orange and sometimes Yellow and Pink.
