Some low-priced gemstones are reaching the end of their 7-day auction period and some are still as low as ONE CENT. These are NOT junk stones- they are high-quality and beautiful stones from our regular inventory that were listed with a one-cent opening bid for promotional purposes. Please take a look and note that I always accept bitcoin for payment if you win an auction: http://www.ebay.com/sch/paragonuniversaltrade/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions about a stone. I am not just a gemologist, but I am a passionate gemstone collector myself. I love stones! If there is anything that you don't know, anything that piques your curiosity, holler at me! Send me a message on this forum, or go to paragonuniversaltrade.com (which forwards to my business facebook page) and send me a note. I will answer any question about gemstones, big or small, easy or hard! NOTE THAT THESE 1-CENT AUCTIONS HAVE NO RESERVE. IF YOU WIN FOR A PENNY OR TWO OR THREE, YOU OWN IT. in the interest of full disclosure, there are shipping charges to cover the cost of the box and padded mailer and international registered mail fees. but they are very reasonable!

Here is a finished 18K white gold ring that is available right now- $599 plus shipping and insurance. The center stone is a superb 1 1/4 carat Ceylon blue sapphire, only heat (no filled fissures and no chemicals to enhance the color): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1no_aMQwm9IThis is USA size 7, bit it can be resized for a reasonable cost. Note that this is European style white gold that is alloyed with palladium, a noble metal, not the cheaper type of white gold that is alloyed with nickel. Most people who are allergic to white gold aren't allergic to the gold at all, they are allergic to the nickel alloy. Nickel is much cheaper than palladium though, so many jewelers who are trying to cut costs use it. We prefer to cast the higher-quality, more valuable white gold alloy that is hypoallergenic.

Hello, I assume that you are the seller since the signature u wear is the same as the name of the seller on ebay. I have a question about ebay, since I don't know how the auction works. Is it like I bid 50€, then someone else bids 52€, I get my 50€ back, or what happens?

Yes, I am the seller on eBay. What you do when you place a bid is enter the most you are willing to bid. Let's say the bid is at $10, and you are willing to pay $30. You enter $30, and then eBay automatically bids for you to go over any previous bids but not over your maximum. The best way to learn exactly how it works is to give it a try- there is little risk as long as you don't enter more than the maximum you are willing to bid. Of course, if the bid is at $10 and you want to enter $11, you certainly can.

Do I have to bid on eBay or can I also send you a PM with my bid? Since I have not many PayPal funds, but alot of bitcoin and I don't know how eBay auctioning works.

Please keep an eye on our store! Many new stones are coming, some items are on sale, and more and more of our auctions will offer free shipping. As always if you win an auction you can pay me directly with bitcoin. Some people are confused about how this works, but all you have to do is win the auction and let me know via message on this forum that you want to pay with bitcoin. After payment is received I mark it paid on eBay and ship the stone directly to you. Here is our store- please bookmark it and check back often: http://stores.ebay.com/Paragon-Universal-TradeIf you are in the USA you can also pay for any eBay purchases with a personal check. Of course if you wish you can use Paypal right on the eBay site and pay with a debit card, credit card, or via bank account debit. The only hard part is figuring out which stone to buy!

I have a new stone going up soon but I wanted to give the bitcoiners here a heads-up. This is smoke-treated Ethiopian Welo opal and it is intended to simulate untreated Australian black opal but cost a whole lot less. Keep in mind that this is natural opal that was mined from the earth in the Welo mining region of Ethiopia but it was smoke-treated to create a beautiful contrast between the flashes of color and the dark body color. Here is the sneak-preview of the videos in the listings that will start later today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk9OCA36PB4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHI9pKpL_Nohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlK8sFq0uesThese are fairly inexpensive stones and they are all being listed with FREE shipping. These three opals will list between 8 and 9PM eBay time and you will be able to see them in our store at this link: http://stores.ebay.com/Paragon-Universal-Trade

Are we allowed to bid yet? If yes, what will the minium bid be, or there is no? I am interested, especially with free shipping. Does it include insurance shipping and track and trace?

Hi Fruitsbasket! They will start in 6 hours and 44 minutes. All three opals will open at only 19.99USD. Put in a bid- you might even win for that amount! Good luck.

The 1.43 carat opal actually starts a little bit later- about 40 minutes after the first two start. Oh, and yes- these will be shipped to the winning bidder via registered mail so you will be able to track at. As soon as we ship a stone out, we enter the tracking number in eBay so if you go to your account you will be able to see it as the winning bidder.
