Note: I cannot ship anything to the EU anymore because of the new PPWR / EPR rules that started on 8/12 and I can't find any micro-business exemptions to the nonsense rules and regs.

I am not accepting new scrap credit for this GB but you may of course use any credit you currently have remaining.

95% will be shipped within 2 weeks.

Keep in mind I don't need to receive your stone/metals by 5/18, I just need your entry by the closing date. Please do mail your stone or metals so I receive them ASAP since I work through these approximately in the order they're received, so the sooner the better!

If you're looking for a lab diamond or a custom lab colored stone there is still time to email me for some options or to arrange cutting.

For already cut precision gem options check out https://jeffdaviesandson.com/ Jeff can ship me your center stone directly for MYOS jewelry!

Color Alchemy Designs MYOS (Mail Your Own Stone) Cathedral Setting.

Welcome to the second "MYOS" (Mail Your Own Stone) Solitaire Cathedral Setting Group Buy.

Google Form: https://forms.gle/9pCEbWmspKQuAzaj6

My email: coloralchemyshop@gmail.com

I will send PayPal invoices within 24hrs, if you check that you're sending metal, old or broken jewelry for scrap credit I will invoice you once It arrives and I've processed it.

Mailing address (also on both forms):

Color Alchemy Designs
PO Box #19
Jacksonville, NY, 14854

Overview:

Do you have a horde of loose gems sitting in a box? Are you looking for an easy, stress free way to convert those into beautifully wearable jewelry? If so you're in the right place!

This "MYOS" group buy will allow you to supply one or more center stones. I'm accepting labs between .20 and 5ct and natural stones between .20ct and 3ct. Please check the setting waiver form for type exclusions. On receipt I will design a simple but elegant solitaire setting for your gem/s. Each individual setting will be custom designed to fit your stone's unique size, outline and proportions in the cathedral style shown.

Some gem designs cannot fit in this ring style. Specifically emerald/step cuts with very steep pavilion ends (most common on commercially cut tourmaline and some designer cuts for "closed C axis" tourmaline). If you're unsure please post a picture in the comments and I'll let you know ASAP!

Terms:

Before ordering, please read over these terms:

1. There will be no significant design changes when ordering aside from minor notes for prong orientation and the options I include on the form with seriously no exceptions.
2. This can only work as a group buy if I'm only adjusting the center setting and minor details (metal, ring size, prong number and orientation, prong finish) to fit your specific stone.
3. If you would like a completely customized design please email me for a regular priced custom ring quote at coloralchemyshop@gmail.com
4. This group order may take 8+ weeks to complete depending on the overall order volume. Please don't order a ring if you have a firm need-by date.
5. I will begin working through these as soon as your stone is received, orders cannot be cancelled once paid.
6. This group buy will be available to USA based customers only.
7. A completed stone setting waiver must be included with each gemstone you send.
8. A completed scrap purchasing form must be included with any scrap or broken jewelry sent for 100% gold value / 80% platinum value group buy credit. See the scrap purchasing policy for more details.

Pricing:

I'm not offering additional volume discounts for these, the group buy itself is the sale. This pricing is less than 1/2 my normal custom ring quote for the same ring with stone setting and customer provided stone fees.

Note, because gold has caught up with platinum and palladium in price, I'm not really interested in offering nickel alloy 10-18K white golds.

.950 Palladium: starting at $590
10K Yellow and pink: starting at $650
14K Yellow, pink and green: starting at $750
.950 Platinum: Starting at $950
18K Yellow, rich yellow, pink and rich green: Starting at $1100

Customization Options:

• Ring size
• Band Width (2, 2.5 or 3mm)
• Band profile (D, square or knife edge)
• N-S or E-W orientation
• Number of prongs 4-8, 4 compass and 4 double (select based on your stone and what you like! no bezel option)
• Prong finish (rounded tips or claws)
• Note section for specific prong arrangement requests
• Center Setting Height Priority (high, neutral and low)

Shipping:

Center stones need to be mailed to me once your invoice is paid, on the end of the form you can optionally purchase additional return shipping insurance up to $5000. USPS Ground advantage is free but at your own risk. Options with additional insurance require the signature option.

Scrap / Metal Buying Info:

I'm happy to accept solid gold and platinum for group buy credit. Once received and tested, I will issue you 100% of the gold value and/or 80% of it's platinum value with stones removed as group buy credit at the current day's spot price.

This is a great opportunity to:

• convert any scrap or broken jewelry into group buy credit.
• Finally be rid of that ring or jewelry from your Ex Partner or starter husband that sits in the back of your jewelry box because it's painful to think about (I will even send you a video of me melting it if you want that closure, just let me know!)
• convert old group buy jewelry that may now be worth as much or more than you originally paid for it.
• convert any gold coins or bullion into group buy/custom jewelry credit.

This credit also counts as normal color alchemy store credit. If you send more than is needed to cover the cost of your ring/rings I will email you and give you the option to either get back the unused metal or I can record the excess as store credit for future group buys or jewelry.

You must include a completed scrap/metal buying form

Information collected on this form will never be digitized and would only be provided to the IRS or Law enforcement if required by law (for example, my legal requirement to report $10,000+ cash/cash equivalent payments on IRS form 8300). I would not expect anyone to be anywhere near that threshold but I want you to understand how your personal information/data is handled.

No stone? no problem:

If you're interested in this GB but you don't have a center stone or have been looking for a lab diamond or custom lab colored stone, please email me at coloralchemyshop@gmail.com with your needs and I'll let you know what options you have!
