I decided to post this kunzite necklace after wanting to post something made of kunzite.
It had me at hello.
Love the design.
Love kunzites.
The most beautiful kunzite necklace I've seen belonged to Elizabeth Taylor.

This is an Art Deco platinum necklace with an 80 ct green emerald cut tourmaline.
The tourmaline was usually an
indicolite tourmaline as I mentioned but this necklace is the standard design for these necklaces.https://rauantiques.com/products/art-deco-green-tourmaline-pendant-80-71-carats

I don’t get much in to jewelery but I really like that necklace!

Well, you like design and craftsmanship so it makes sense!

This was in the FT magazine today
I'm not usually a fan of complex or large rings, but this blue diamond with whites is a cracker; I'd buy if I could.

Spectacular, Andy.
I'd have a huge, unmovable vault in my home if I won the lottery.

Red spinel is probably my favorite gemstone along with diamonds.
I became interested in red spinels when I read about them and saw pictures of them with carved inscriptions done for Moghul rulers.
I far prefer red spinels to rubies.

I like the store Vivienne from Chateau Love runs online. She sells antique jewelry. Nothing exorbitant in price, just really nice. There's a pair of mother of pearl cufflinks 4 or 5 pages down that I like. She has quite a turnover of merchandise so there's always a lot of "SOLD" items but she stocks it frequently.

Siberian amethyst.
Do you see? It's not the same color as what we think of amethyst. It's not close.

I know the pendant would have nowhere to sit if the chain were longer.
I just have a personal dislike of short chains.
I also think the pendant is too big for the chain.
I'd wear this as a brooch.

@Bernard I looked through this and read the descriptions for a couple hours. I like all the different periods of jewelry and some of these pieces were beautiful and the prices incredible.
