My hobby or guilty pleasure.
My hobby is collecting stones. Yes, I find anything that has value really interesting. But I once bid on stones at an auction. And I had won it, there were still costs, but I owned 21 diamonds of about 0.1 ct each. Then I had a few from china that are made of opal. are also beautiful but not as valuable and hard as diamonds. But nice to compare. And later I had made an offer on colored rough diamonds, these have already been cut face-to-face but not further finished. It was all pretty pricey, but I had the opportunity to do it.
The big one is fake or opal. it is 59 ct the rest you see are real diamonds
pink one
The one in the midle is 2 ct and also opaal
Below you see an offer from the seller, so without an auction in between. And he promised to make nice prizes. I didn't ask about the prices, But this love for these stones is growing. But I can't do much with it. At first I had the thoughts to make jewelry, but these diamonds are quite small and I have already seen that it is quite a challenge to make something beautiful out of this. A ring pendant or who knows, an urn for me, Dad.
I find it fascinating to play with. And who knows how beautiful it is. or sell for a profit. I hope you can appreciate this post. dimanten feels heavier than glass or opal. And shines even in its raw form. 1 ct is 0.2 grams and the larger the diamond, the more it is worth. Shape color and clarity and finish determines the rest.
Yes I really have to go to bed everyone have a nice week and see you next update
