My name is Carl, I have been in the jewelry business for close to 37 years and gem business for 27 years. I am a Graduate Gemologist GIA), Master Goldsmith with design, old school fabrication and wax carving, lost wax and current CAD design with a passion for opals and colored stones of all kinds. As part of this passion I have a collection of cut and rough stones of many kinds, many from 20 years ago. Tome is catching up and now what I have left I will never be able to cut or create pieces of jewelry for. This is where others come in, I want to share what I have, some at beginning prices of less then what I paid for. Many things that I have collected I have amounts for commercial applications for multi piece designs. Send me a message through the auction message boards and I can tell you what I have. I will not sell outside of the kind people of the treasure auction, they have built this bridge and we need to support them as much as possible. I will post a list of stock and with inquiry will put it up for sale through treasures auction, Carl, carlsgems

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.
