This is a very rare ring that I had found before I was to be engaged. Crafted in 1895, (a true antique) set in 24 carat (24k) gold, the ring features authentic Russian Alexandrite- which is far rarer and much more expensive than diamonds. Size 5, featuring three diamonds and two gorgeous Alexandrite set in 24k hand-crafted gold. Perfect condition. This ring was purchased for 2400USD. I am not getting married anymore and am therefore selling it. This ring is going to make someone very happy!

💖 WANT!💖

Would you consider a trade? I have some quality high-end pieces listed!

@kendaklocks thank you darlin! At this point I'm trying to sell for the sake of an upcoming trip to Southeast Asia, so I won't be able to do a trade for this particular piece. I'm certainly going to follow you though! Great taste! <3
kktexasgal
I very well may perish if I don't have this ring! Here's to selling MY things so I can buy yours😂 can you make it look really ugly in the pic? Then everyone will leave it alone? Actually I'd like to see close up pics! Or different angles?
humakali
LOL omg , my hands are so ugly , that might very well do it! It's a very delicate ring. When it was bought by my ex fiancé, he had told me it was sold to someone else. To be honest I was really upset (I'm obsessed with antiques and alexandrite in particular). Then he proposed with it. I'll post proposal pictures for you ;) (just don't laugh at my hands - you know, or let me know about it hahaa)
kktexasgal
You forgot to tag me so I didn't see this until now, because I'm stalking it and came back to stare again 😳 OMG you are gorgeous and so are your hands! Just keep them out of the sun forever and you'll be good to go 👌🏼 beautiful pics! Now, take some close up pics of the ring because I will own this if it kills me (ok, I'm a little dramatic) but I'm in LOVE with it and IT IS MY SIZE
humakali
@kendaklocks aw lady!! You are so sweet ~ I'll proffer this gem as well- should you ever need to sell it for some reason you could fetch far more for the antiquity of the piece. The price reflects the value of the materials- the additional thousand is really attributed to its age. I'll take some photos angles/closeup either tonight or tomorrow!
kktexasgal
SELL IT?!? No way! This would be the forever stash (I'm a ring hoarder)

@humakali sorry to hear you are not getting married anymore - it's a beautiful piece indeed.
humakali
@kendaklocks if you're still interested I can take some angle photos of you like ! :)
kktexasgal
YES! And closer up than the first pic please!
humakali
@kendaklocks do you know by chance how to upload more photos by mobile?
kktexasgal
I have an iPhone, I can take the picture right in the listing. Edit listing, then delete pics you don't want showing (little X on top right corner, I think) retake new ones OR if not an iPhone, snap pics, edit listing, go find new pics and pick it/them 😳 did that make any sense? Last resort- make new listing, titled ADDITIONAL PICS, add pics, choose OS for size and "other" for category, price $0 in both spots and it will be listed as not for sale.
kktexasgal
Oh My! I die!
humakali
It's really a bummer that they only allow four photos at once :/ any who , I took these additional photos in two rooms just to show you how this alexandrite changes colors in different light - from a chartreuse green to a pale celadon. Ugh. I love this ring

@kendaklocks
kktexasgal
Hope my instructions helped? Regardless, you got the pics up! I'm truly trying to figure out a way to own this beauty. I've got things listed all over the place to raise money!
kktexasgal
Bottom prong is needing repair! Don't lose the stone, that would be a disaster!
humakali
It would make this whole thing so much easier if I knew it was going to someone who really appreciates it for what it is. So much more than gorgeous! If it wasn't for me attached to some bad memories, I'd keep it to pass on to my family (if I ever have one). The history alone intrigues me. I hope it comes to you!!
humakali
@kendaklocks I just inspected it , and the prongs are totally solid. There is a design detail on the top and bottom just beneath the prongs that protrudes every so delicately
humakali
Good looking out though! Phew! Nearly had a panic attack lol
kktexasgal
Now I see it! Same thing on top stone. Oops! Yes, I love pieces with history! I've got a few vintage rings listed, but I have the ones that "matter" that will never leave me, until they're passed down. I totally get it.
mcjayne
@humakali oh my, that is absolutely stunning. What an amazing piece. Wow wow wow👌🏼
humakali
@mcjayne thank you love! It's really a stunner <3 I'm currently in California until the months end, then I'll be returning to Seattle by the 28th. If interested, I can ship swiftly on or just after that date
mcjayne
@humakali oh god love I wish I could afford it! I could have bought it a few times over after what I pay out in medical bills 🙄! I much prefer your reason for selling because my close friend lives in Alaska & I'm so ready to go up there! 🌹I will share this for you & just drool from afar...😂😂😂
sydney_free
I'd love to hear the story of finding this! This is the true definition of awesome. It's beautiful.
humakali
@sydney_free hey darlin! This gorgeous piece was handpicked by myself having perused so many options prior to the engagement. I found this particular ring on a website whose sub-heading was under rare, antique and vintage jewelry. I labored over this one and a few Art Deco pieces - but in the end, it was the Alexandrite and its history that made me pick this ring. I still love it- but the memories attached to it (for me) are too heavy to hang on to. This is why I'm parting with it
seasidegirl
Very beautiful! 💞💕💕

Do you accept kidneys? Lol

Hi I just lowered price of bikini top if your interest take a look before it's gone:)
santi
@irenegreen What are the size of the alexandrites and what is the color chang on these? Do you have a legit appraisal and I live in Seattle area would you do less
humakali
@santi Irene is not the seller of this item. I am. I am not a jeweler - this ring was my engagement ring. I found it myself and know what the selling price was - but my ex has all the papers. I am happy to negotiate prices and am happy to meet up with you for an appraisal
santi
@humakali oops sorry about the accidental reply to other posher. What is the color change spectrum on these 2 Alexandrites?
humakali
@santi ;) no worries! The two alexandrite a I've noticed have slightly different qualities, one of them ranges from a deep chartreuse emerald green or a very light mint blue, the other ranges from the chartreuse with flashes of purple and ombré
humakali
This ring has been sold! Thank you everyone for your interest :)
