This is another cool favourite of mine. The story goes that I had a Antique Star Sapphire bracelet that I sold on Ebay 3 years ago(not as nice as this one). To a buyer who was also a Seller. She was very difficult to deal with and she bought it from me for $360.00. I regreted selling the bracelet and not only did she buy it for a great price(the price she wanted) and she knew it...she told me that she was insulted and that I forced her into the deal. I told her to send it back for a full refund and that I would gladly take it back! She declined! Later she left me really bad feedback...to make a long story short...I asked the Universe for another one and it delivered!
This beauty measures 18.5mm x 8mm and weighs a solid 24.2 grams. The carat weight I have not idea..the centre is 0.80ct and the smallest is 0.20cts there are 25 Star Sapphres. No hallmarks but acid tested to be either a low carat Gold or ? I love this bracelet and it I have no idea of its value....? Or if anyone knows or has seen one like this? I would really appreciate any information.. :)

What did Epson mean by too much red stuff? Chili sauce? Anger? Devil? Wine?That mellows me out. Anyway WOW! Stunning! This is so gorgeous. Ebay weirdos act that way because they feel they can get away with it and wouldn't dare if they met you face to face. And then I wonder - why? It's just stuff, true a work of art- an old treasure - a thing of beauty - a jewel to marvel over but spoils it if you didn't feel it was handed over w/love from the previous owner and "meant" to be yours. What a poop.
valentino97, not sure! The only red stuff I can think of is fine wine. I sell on eBay and try to be nice to everyone...buying and selling. It all comes back to you...its called KARMA :0 But I think this Sapphire bracelet is nicer in a way than the one I sold. The one I sold did not go all the way around. Which I love! I am having an extra safety clasp put on the other side..so I will have 2 to lock it on. I almost lost this bracelet a couple of times..scared me :( I cannot wait to see it done!
Okay - too much red wine?...hmm I must be more careful then. I LOVE this beautiful bracelet. Good idea w/safety clasp. So beautiful! Nothing worse than losing a treasure. I know and when it happened to me I couldn't get past it until I FOUND the item or completely retraced my steps and figured out how I lost it. Awful feeling. Do you believe in karma? I don't - I've seen so many mean people prosper (past bosses!!!! ha, ha!, certain relatives ....) What I DO believe in is the visualizing thing. I think you posted about this awhile back. I visualize "I'm going to the swap meet today and I will find...." and it usually works! - or if not that day - very soon. Always surprises me and I stop and say thank you to God and the universe. I know you practice this too.
valentino97, you know we are both kindred spirits!!! I do practice visualization all the time. I am a Manifestor.....I know whatever I think of and ask the Universe..the object always appears ....in perfect timing. Karma is more like Buddhism and I grew up on that. All what you see on CW is my visualizations and most I had never seen before....and thought of it. Every single one of them....or I see it in an Antique Book and say..I would like that. It shows up...somehow. I even say the price I want to pay for it....lol :))
