LARGE PEAR CUT CUBIC ZIRCONIA GEMSTONE WITH PINK BLUSH 18.7 cts
About Cubic Zirconia:  “Cubic zirconia is a lab-grown gemstone; its most popular and common use is as a diamond simulant. Developed during the 1970s in the USSR, this sparkling stone was designed for use in military application involving optics and lasers. This diamond look-alike, sometimes labeled "cubic zirconium" (an inaccurate nickname), soon took the world by storm.”
Please forgive my ‘non-professional’ information for this listing.
I have owned this gemstone since the mid 1980s.  I felt it was time to give someone else the opportunity to enjoy it.  This once was in a gold ring.
To this untrained eye, this CZ is beautiful and sparkly.  My jeweler said it was nicely cut, “a very nice stone”, and that it has a faint pink blush on one end which I was able to see when the stone was on a white background.
My jeweler also told me this stone is 18.7 cts.  Unfortunately, I did not ask him the size in millimeters.  Measuring myself, the length appears to be somewhere between 17 1/2mm and 19 mm and about 12 millimeters at its widest.  Hope this is good enough!!!
Condition:  Pre-Owned.  Boy, if you don’t sell gems for a living…good luck taking a decent photograph! I apologize that I don’t have the correct photographic equipment.  And what photos I do have exaggerate every little thing which IMHO is not evident in person.

ABOUT SHIPPING: MEDIA MAIL:  When an item qualifies for “Media Mail shipping”, I make an effort to minimize shipping costs for my buyers and opt for this shipping method.  However, arrival times can be lengthy (I’ve experienced up to 2-4 weeks arrival time!) and I understand there is a slightly increased risk of damage.  If you wish me to upgrade the shipping method for you in order to receive your purchase earlier or reduce the risk of possible damage, please do not hesitate to ask.  On ‘EXPENSIVE TO SHIP’ items, always happy to investigate a more economic option.  Just ask!  This item is located in a rural area; mailing is typically done once a week.  Please note shipping method - as this can greatly affect delivery time, i.e. Economy & Media Mail likely take much longer.  Weather & holidays can also affect delivery.  If your purchase is to go FedEx, fyi: it must be shipped the same day the postage is purchased.  Again, we are located in a rural area and that may affect shipping.  However, we have an excellent track record for timely shipping.
Also:  I am absolutely willing to ship using a more economical method for my buyers.  So, please feel free to make a suggestion.
Feel free to contact me with any questions before bidding and I will answer them as best as I can.
