You're all broke, and I have stuff I don't want. Let's see if we can fix that. I don't have boxes for these.
Name your price on anything, I plan to let everything go relatively cheap but still profitable for me. I can ship overseas but I have no idea if you'll get it in time.
Sterling silver Celtic knot heart pendant w/chain.

Peridot solitaire pendant set in sterling silver. No chain. August birthstone.

Pair of 14k pierced earrings. Dangling circular lotus flower design. Really cool!
Pair of sterling silver piercing earrings. Small chandelier style with CZ inlays. NEVER WORN.

Sterling silver and red opal cabochon ring. Size 7. It's a little bent and I gotta give it a good polish but it's really cool. I got it at a 2nd hand store in NYC.
Sterling silver Celtic knot band, size 6. Yes, this is my 2nd wedding band, but I didn't get much wear out of it. In fact, I think it's cursed, so this is the gift to give to that special someone you want to break up with but don't know how! Or your worst enemy as a "peace offering". :evil:

And no, not everything is a gift from Herbert. :p
You got a boombox you don't want? there's a lot of heads up here that love to throw down the cardboard, old school style, and we just can't find one.
Shut up.
Updated first post with pics.
I promise that if you buy any of this junk I will polish the fuck out of it and get it in a box or baggy to make it presentable. Lol.
Also, I found a replica of the stupid Titanic necklace as well that I have. I KNOW I never wore it, so if you want to give this heavy ass piece of Swarovski to a little girl who wants to play dress up, I can send it your way.
i haz dark blue sapphire.
i S2 sapphires.
That one is so dark it's almost black...which makes it not worth much. The Ceylon Blues are the most popular. However, corundum is corundum, and if you heat it up enough it will turn into a ruby.
I had another really dark one like that which I ended up hocking last year since it was set in yellow gold...I should have had the jeweler just pop out the rocks (It was flanked by diamonds) and take the setting and I could have had it reset. Grr...
I prefer the darker sapphires. They're pretty! And if I had the money, I'd shout "50 BUCKS!" but I don't. :cry:
So shout less than $50?

What? I recognize the words in this sentence, I know they're the same basic Al2O3 crystal, but how does that ruby happen?
Heat it and try.
Yeez, kids these days.
Unwilling to put even a little effort into experimentation.
YOU GET TO PLAY WITH FIRE YOU IDIOT!
DO IT NOW OR I WILL RAIN FIERY DEATH UPON YOUR HOUSE.

The coloration of the stone is created when the crystal reaches certain temperatures. For corundum, I think dark blue is the norm, and then the lighter it gets, the more valuable. Rubies are harder to find than sapphires, so a lot of them in the stores are lab-created from heating sapphires until you get the red color or completely created in a lab. I think at a certain point chromium needs to be introduced. But that's the only difference. If it's red, it's chromium and a ruby, if it's any other color, it's a sapphire.
You know it's a good chunk of rock if the stone has inclusions in it. Which is why I know my ruby is fo realz.

Unfortuantely I have only 10, and that is from child support.
Having no job sucks.
Feed your kid, then we'll talk.
Yes.
