Matched pairs are highly sought after in the gemstone world, especially for earrings, and also for rings and pendants. However, matched pairs can be difficult to find because a lot of work is required to produce them.

Putting together matched pairs requires sorting through hundreds of stones to find good candidates, and then careful cutting to make sure the pieces are well coordinated. A finely matched pair will be as similar as possible, and that can be a challenging task. Matching the size is not that difficult, since a larger piece can be cut to match the smaller one. But finding two pieces with identical color and clarity is always difficult. Then the gems must also be faceted with the same angles to achieve the same brilliance.

A brilliantly transparent gem, sphene has fire greater than that of diamond! This gem is named from the Greek word for “wedge,” as its crystals are typically wedge shaped, but may be referred to by its mineral name, titanite. Another characteristic sphene possesses is birefringence, or double refraction, meaning that light splits into two rays as it passes through the gem. As a result, the back facets appear as double images, giving the gem a soft, hazy appearance, similar to the doubling seen in zircon.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
