What’s my story?

In January of 2007, I had my engagement, wedding and eternity rings remade

in rose gold and had a new diamond added.  This began a long, fruitful

relationship between the jeweler and I.  So many people admired my rings,

that in the following year alone, three family members and one friend went to

the same jeweler to have some serious work done!

So now, when he has surplus of stock or another jeweler he knows is retiring,

they get me to sell their stock online and share the profits.  Because most of

these items are closeouts, the starting price is well below even the wholesale

price the jeweler originally paid – he can’t spend his retirement if the stock

doesn’t get sold!  This works great for you – master jeweler quality items at

bargain eBay prices!  Just read my guarantee!

What’s my guarantee?

If this isn’t the best synthetic gemstone you have ever seen,

return it in its original condition within 7 days

for a FULL refund (including shipping!)

You won’t fool a gemologist, but you’ll easily fool a jeweler,

and will certainly fool everyone else!

Please note:

* I produce my own images of the items available in the listing.

I do not enhance or alter them if possible, and only do so to ensure

the images are as close to the actual item as possible.

* Carat weights listed are diamond equivalent, so your item may

weigh more than the listed carat weight.  The best way to ensure

you purchase the right stone is to use the measurements provided.

* Please ensure you check the measurements of the gemstone

before bidding as the images may not be to scale.

Please feel free to ask any questions.  Thank you!

Briolite VS Moissanite?

Briolite and Moissanite are different stones all together.

BRIOLITE is a lab created gemstone that was created to match natural

diamonds in virtually every property. While moissanite looks great on it's

own, Briolite looks far better as an synthetic diamond, and is much cheaper to

buy online than Moissanite.

MOISSANITE is a lab created gemstone that has a higher refractive index

than natural diamonds. The dispersion of light from moissanite is also higher,

and coloured flashes can be seen under white light.

(It can also be as expensive as diamond to buy online)

So it really depends what you're looking for.

If you want something that looks identical to a diamond, Briolite is for you.

Synthetic VS Imitation/Simulated Gemstones?

SYNTHETIC GEMSTONES are identical to a natural gemstone in almost

every way. This includes the same basic crystal structure, refractive index,

specific gravity, chemical composition, colours, and other characteristics.

Since the same gemological tests are used for stone identification on both

natural and synthetic gems, it is sometimes even possible for a gemologist to

be puzzled as to whether or not a stone is natural or synthetic. When this

occurs, the best course of action is to send the stone to an accredited gem

laboratory, like the Gemological Institute of America. They can positively

determine whether a stone is synthetic or naturally occuring. Only minor

internal characteristics allow separation of a synthetic gemstone from a

natural gemstone.

IMITATION/SIMULATED GEMSTONES merely imitate (or simulate)

the colour or look of a natural stone. They can be made out of anything. Cubic

Zirconias and Moissanite are IMITATION diamonds, for example. A blue

piece of glass could be an imitation sapphire. A variety of blue synthetic

forsterite is an excellent imitation for tanzanite, while chemically, it's

composition is much closer to the yellowish green peridot. Another classic

example is the "alexandrite" set in many jewelry pieces is actually a variety of

vanadium colored synthetic sapphire!

Please note that I am in no way affiliated with the aforementioned websites.

They will provide extensive further information on Briolite if you wish to research it further.

THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION   If you don’t read this, I will not be

responsible!  All items are in my possession, so please ASK QUESTIONS and

CONTACT ME if you have any questions or offers.  Items will only ever be

available through eBay auction or Buy It Now listings.

CONTACT MUST BE MADE WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS AND PAYMENT IS

TO BE MADE WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING unless

otherwise arranged PRIOR to auction ending.  I prefer Paypal as it transfers

instantly and supplies me with your shipping details.  Please don’t pay by

echeck through Paypal – it takes at least four days to clear, so you may as well

pay by bank deposit so I can reduce the fees I pay.  eCheck is what you pay

with when you don’t have a credit card on file with Paypal.  If you need extra

time to pay, please contact me prior to auction ending.

By making a bid on this item you have agreed to my conditions of sale, and I

reserve the right to notify eBay if you do not comply. I understand that

problems may arise that you have no control over, so should this happen,

please contact me so we can make other payment arrangements and avoid any

unnecessary disappointment. Unless you email me I will not know –

unfortunately I am not a mind reader, (my husband thinks I am, but I assure

you, I am not!).  All items and sizes have been described to the best of my

ability and come from a smoke free, pet free home.

COMBINED SHIPPING

Of course, I combine shipping!  I use satchels where possible, so the shipping

cost is based on weight.  Please enquire for a precise shipping quote to your

door.  If you DO NOT request a total for shipping on multiple items once you

win the auction, I will not be able to adjust the shipping charge.  I am more

than happy to combine postage, however if two items you have bid on are not

ending within 3 days of the first item purchased, please notify me of this when

the first item closes, or within 3 days. I cannot be held responsible for non-

combined items if you do not let me know that you are bidding on multiples.

Please note that I ONLY SHIP VIA REGISTERED OR EXPRESS POST.

This is because I have no control over Australia Post and the only way to track

your item is to register it.  Registered and Express items include insurance up

to $100.  If you wish to purchase additional registered insurance, please

Request Total Amount from Seller and advise the amount you wish to insure

for.  It costs your postage fee PLUS $2.75 for the first $100, then $1.25 per

hundred insured within Australia or $8.45 for the first $100, then $2.25 per

hundred insured Internationally.  Buyer is to pay postage except where

otherwise specified and I endeavour to find the cheapest possible post for your

item. I use Australia Post Satchels/Packages ONLY, except for items that

require special packing. Ie. Perfume/cologne/polish remover.  Postage costs

will be added as stated, (stupendous as they are courtesy of rising fuel prices).

OVERSEAS BUYERS if you do not contact me for postage costs BEFORE

bidding, I cannot be held responsible for the surprise you might get when I

add the cost of postage to your winning bid.

THE PROCESS

*  You win the item/s.  If you are bidding on further items, PLEASE notify me.

*  When your shopping is complete, you hit “Pay Now” and either click on

“Request Total From Seller” or you complete the checkout.  If you have not

done this by the three days that contact is required within, I will send you an

invoice, just in case you have overlooked it or forgotten.

*  I mark your payment as received when I receive it.  I do not usually send

emails to notify that I have received your payment.  Paypal will generate a

receipt for you which is proof that I have received your payment.

*  I package your item and send it.  I do not usually send emails to tell you

that I have shipped your items.  I am one person with one computer and yes I

have two feet and at the moment two heartbeats, but my life is not spent online! J

*  When you have received your item you have two choices;

1) Contact me if you are unhappy for any reason.  If you leave negative or

neutral feedback without contacting me, I will not be happy! L

2) Leave positive feedback.

*  I will leave positive feedback for you.  If I have an issue with you, I will

discuss it, not leave nasty positive feedback like some sellers do!

REFUNDS

I give a full refund ONLY if the item is grossly misrepresented, faulty or is

damaged upon delivery due to poor packaging.

If you misunderstood/weren’t sure what the description meant and didn’t ask

questions, I am not obliged to give a refund.  It’s not my fault if you don’t read

the description thoroughly or ask questions (Irony is – if you are reading this,

you are probably not one of those people – and if you are one of those people,

then you won’t know I said it cos you probably haven’t read this far!)

If for some reason you are unhappy with your purchase, please e-mail me

immediately. I am a very reasonable person and more than happy to work

through any problems that may arise.  Almost everything on offer is a one off

item, so I don’t usually do exchanges.  Exchanges will be at the cost of the

buyer, unless a misrepresentation has occurred.  Refunds will be supplied by

whichever means you originally paid. ie If you paid by Paypal, I will refund

only by Paypal.

I will do my best to make this the BEST buying experience you have ever had!!
