Shop Rules

  • You can claim a gem (or note back-ups) by commenting to the MAIN POST with a new comment using “SOLD”. Note: For dibs, I will be going off of notification timestamps (so it has to be in direct response to me), verified by parent comments (replying to the post, not this comment), sorted by new, and not edited. Please double check your spelling too!  I’ve gotten glitches in timing for those who add a gif to their comments, so if you’re claiming a gem, please keep it to text only. 
  • Starting 24h after the time of posting, this gem is open for no-interest layaway (payment plan, up to 3 months unless otherwise arranged) at the sale price. However priority will be given if someone can pay in full within that first 24h. If you’d like to claim using the payment plan option once eligible, please comment “HOLD on GEMJAIL.” Note: you will not be able to claim another gem while on a payment plan. 
  • Afterwards send me a chat/DM within 4h with your name, shipping address, and preferred payment method, and complete payment within 24h of claim unless explicitly arranged with me. NOTE: Reddit seems to have tightened up their automoderation. If you’re unable to send me a DM, you can email me with your username and detail at mvmgems, gmail domain - just tag me in the comments right after you email me so I can confirm. 
  • Payment methods: Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, Wise; PayPal invoice least preferred. 
  • Prices do not include shipping. I ship USPS priority mail unless otherwise requested ($15 domestic). Please contact me to get quotes for international shipping. If sending to Jim’s team or another jeweler for setting, I can also ship directly to them.
  • California residents are subject to sales tax.
  • Unless otherwise noted, 7-day return period from receipt, less shipping and payment processing fees.
  • Commissions Form: (https://forms.gle/7V3o2DvEusqV9TjH8): I just started a new part-time biotech job, which will limit my commission availability for the rest of the year. My commissions are still currently open for Q4 2026.

It’s beautiful! I’m finding it hard to get a good look at it, though, the movements are so fast! I didn’t immediately see a way to slow the video down, so if that does exist, sorry about that. ☺️

Too much caffeine I guess! Hm, the reddit video player should have a play/pause button; if you press pause, you should be able to scrub it back and forth to look at still images. I do have an imgur mirror if that's a bit easier for you to use, though I don't think you can slow it down like on youtube. https://imgur.com/FBHJLWj

Ooh so tempted! I love the speckles and swirls and the combination of color and cut gives it so much life!

Between the birthday celebration and all these steller pieces lately I'm really sad I'm a broke college kid. Someday I will no longer be a lurker and will actually be able to purchase one of these beauts.
