Happy Halloween- As our present to you, we will auction off this gorgeous custom cut faceted Welo Hydrophane Opal in a TRIHEX Cut by my partner and renowned master Welo opal faceter Matt Dunkle for 1 NR.  This is an excellent opportunity to own a rare OOAK masterpiece that few have and many will envy.  I am a faceted Opal Fiend and Matt's Opals are probably the nicest that I have ever seen cut.  I will take a super high quality Ethiopian Mezzezo, Gondar or Welo faceted opal over a diamond any day of the week.  This is truly a gem to have people Gawking at your Gems.  This would make an awesome engagement ring .  Top quality Faceted Crystal Opal has a higher price per carat than a Diamond.  The average retail price per carat for a faceted crystal opal o f this quality goes for up to $6500 a carat retail without exaggeration.  You don't see faceted gems like this on the internet too often because they are usually reserved for the super rich and are only sold at very high end jewelry stores like the ones on 5th Avenue in Manhattan.  This is quite the gem and we are excited to see who gets it.  Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be a part of your gem buying experience here.  Please visit Gem Rock for the opening of Gawk at my Gems which is my gemstone company which has been on the internet and other auction sites for several years.  We have been selling super high quality and rare gemstone beads,  the highest quality facet rough purchased mine direct and beautifully cut gemstones by Matt and from my Private Collection.  I currently have beautiful rare gemstone beads which I own 100's of strands and will be putting up the many kilos of gem rough over the next several weeks.  If you don't see what you want, please contact me as I probably have it or know where to get it.  Be safe and All my Best,  Silvana

Gawk at my Opals presents a true opal lover's dream.  Matt Dunkle my partner custom cuts all the faceted Ethiopian Welo Opal into true Museum Quality Ultra Gems.  We both are true opal fanatics.  Through our  collaborative effort, we will showcase the most beautifully faceted Ethiopian Opals that will rival the top gemstones of the world.  We feel that we have accomplished without  hesitation.  .  We use only the highest grade AAA+++Ethiopian Welo Crystal Opals that have passed our stability tests.  We in no way treat or stabilize the rough other than to pre-soak in water to look for stress cracks and potential problems.  We sift through thousand of grams of rough for both our faceted gems and all my opal gems beads that I have designed or manufacture.  We purchased our facet rough either directly from Addis Ababa mine-direct or from their top associates in the US.  Matt's gems have been featured on OA in the past for many thousands of dollars per stone.  Since we are able to sell to you directly, we are able to significantly reduce the price but still give you the Museum Quality Gems that only a few can truly cut.

We offer all our gems to you wholesale and with the option to purchase a 14kt gold custom made setting to compliment the opal in most cases.

Today,  We are offering an exquisite Tri-Hex shield Cut Ethiopian Welo  crystal opal which has a play of color that shows purple, blue, yellow, gold and blue plus much more and is a 5/5.  This is a flawless gem that would make any gem lover thrilled to own.  Unfortunately, we are only able to show you pictures at this time as we are just starting out on OA as sellers but have been buyers for the last several years here and on Gem Rock as well..  We plan on opening a store on Opal Auctions as soon as we are given the green light.  We will be able to feature videos for  our listings to give you a much better idea of what we are offering to you.  We have an unconditional return policy with cash back without any hassles.  We just ask that you try and notify us within a week of receipt  of our goods.  We will even pay for the return shipping should you have a change of heart.  As long as the gem is return to us unharmed, we will immediately refund your money.  This Ultra Gem is being offered to you at a starting price of $2000 which is less than a thousand a carat.  Most of Matt's Gems have been sold for over two thousand a carat so this is a significant savings.  Thank you for allowing me to share my love of gems with you.  Silvana

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 Opal 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.
