VERY Expensive Rings On Costco Site - Page 2

Jewelry isn't the only pricey thing at Costco; when I was there today I saw liquor (some sort of brandy, I think), one was $9000 and the other was $19,000. This was at the Glendale AZ store(I wonder if they get Japanese, Chinese or Arab tourists-- or rich golf fans!!!).

What irks me....is that color gem stones is...color, Color is everything. I see these 6 figure stones all the time....on Gem Shopping Network. True colors and beauty the way they are supposed to be. Emeralds in gorgeous true green, Sapphire in Kashmir Blue, Rubies in blood red. Diamonds that are clean & white. The way they are supposed to be. While the masses (like us) have to contend with very ordinary color or barely there color, because we don't have the money (let's see...a house or a gem...) We also see the same very ordinary gem stones all the time on all channels. Set in silver with white Zircons to fancy them up. And they are cheap! But the colors are weak & dull. So we can ooh and aah over them & buy them!

@songbird,The color is in part, what the price is set on. All stones are irreadiated to enhance the gem's color. Even Levian. I've seen many stones that are slightly milky when I sold fine jewelry at Belk for 5 years.
