| 40.48ct Marquise Shaped Ukrainian Natural Topaz - Orange to Smoky Orange depending on available lights. We were extremely lucky to find two pieces of Ukrainian Brandy to Smoky Orange to Orange Colored Topaz Rough which one of our Specialty Cutters faceted and created this unique Marquise shape - not far from an oval and at first glance it does indeed look like an oval. This is a large gemstone for an Orangy Topaz. This material is known as coming from this one area of the world and this Topaz is known to change color to blue while the crystal is growing, and therefore, you will frequently see this material faceted in emerald cuts where part of the gemstone is a very light blue and the other half is this unique pleasing color. These Bicolored Topaz tends to be in large sizes as the blue is very light so the larger/deeper the stone, the more noticeable the blue. We encountered this material being sold by a Ukrainian and just had to have both pieces that were available - one of the reasons was that there was an example of this color of Topaz faceted and we thought the color, the size and polish were all attractive and definitely desired to have our cutters work their magic on this available rough. We have never had this color of Topaz in our inventory during our numerous decades in business. This was a must have! Also, at this time, supporting those in the Ukraine was also a consideration. There are some very small inclusions (pinpoints) but they are so small and the stone is exceptionally large and therefore really has no affect on the brillance, the gem or the price!

hough this material did not originate in another famous deposit of orangy Topaz (Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brasil), it also doesn’t have the price of over $1000/ct wholesale associated with a fine orange gem weighing about 19ct from this locality, which we were seeking and did indeed find only one within all the thousands of dealers at the Tucson Show in 2024. We got a great yield/return from the rough to this faceted gem – this color shifting gem is selling at only $100/ct, which is about what the trade price was in Tucson as seen with the one dealer we encountered that had this very special material available in a few pieces of rough as well as one faceted gem. Yes, we saw the faceted gem and had to buy two pieces of rough to have our specialty cutter perform magic and create the two faceted gemstones we currently have and are offering! (We thought the color was unique and beautiful and this material takes a high polish. Just had to have this material in the All That Glitters Collection!) |
| GIA recently published an article of this very Topaz location in the Ukraine. You can see the color of the above Topaz in some of the photos showing the bicolor nature of this
deposit, being a light blue and typically this light orangy sherry color. In the case of our gemstones, the rough was all orangy vs. having blue, and you can see that the saturation of
our gemstones is superior to the light versions shown in the photos. Read the GIA article below and View the Photos - as noted, this material is in demand and this color is not commonly seen -
in fact, there was only one dealer that had the rough and a faceted gemstone of this color available in all of those dealers we visited
at the Tucson Show in 2024.

| Below is a screen grab of an an orangy topaz sold at auction in 2024 by a well-knmown aucton house, where we have also sold a number of our items, where they actually sold for far more than the original asking price on our website!. This is described as having a GIA cert, with the following description: "Stone is clean and displays very minor nicks on pavilion and minute surface reaching inclusion on girdle." This sold for $625 - The commission paid by the successful high bidder, was 30%, so the gemstone cost $813 in total, not including shipping/insurance. The total price per carat would be approximately $165/ct when one calculates the total paid and the carat weight. Since this is a smaller gemstone, a larger gemstone of this same species would be far more per carat due to rarity of finding the rough and is a general rule of thumb for natural and less common gemstone species. We can guarantee that the cutting of the All That Glitters gemstone above is far superior to this one sold at auction and we believe the color of our gemstone is better; it also possess an interesting color shift depending on light/wavelengths available. That being said, we have this at about 50% less than this auction item! As always, we try to purchase as close to the source of the rough as possible and our goal is to be able to offer gemstones at below wholesale prices, at wholesale prices or between wholesale and retail prices for those difficult to obtain pieces where we sometimes have to pay more to obtain what we desire. Another All That Glitters Bargain! |

| 48.20ct Lively Ukrainian Topaz (Oval) - Orange to Smoky Orange depending on lighting. Very similar to the above gemstone in all ways - just a few carats larger and in an oval shape.
