It's cold out and a good time to stay inside, curl up with a warm computer and attend our first-ever in 2024 Gemstone Orphanage Adoption Auction.
We have 25 new, unique, and beautiful Gemstone Orphans at this first in 2024 live event. The Orphans will be diverse, coming in different sizes, shapes, colors, and gemstone families. Each Gemstone Orphan will come with its own set of adoption papers with registration number, description, photos, etc.
And we have more surprises we planned for the auction, just to make things interesting
All of the Gemstone Orphans, up for adoption are featured in the trailer.
Each auctioned item will begin with an opening bid of $10.00. Additional bids need to be in $1.00 increments. Bidding will be conducted through the YouTube chat function and you will need to be a subscriber to the HomeStrung Jewelry YouTube channel to participate in the chat and the bidding.
The bidding for each Gemstone Orphan will take 3 minutes or less. There will be a timer displayed on the screen. If the bidding ends before the 3 minutes are up, an auction winner will be declared. If there are no bids within the first minute, the Gemstone will be pulled from bidding and may be brought out again, if there is time.
We will again have 2nd Chance Auctions, spaced throughout the event. These will be shorter auctions and will be held exclusively for those who have not won an auction up to that point.
All sales are final. At the end of the auction, PayPal invoices will be emailed out to all auction winners. A $6.00 shipping and handling fee will be included. If the winner has a discount coupon, they will need to tell us at the end of the auction.
Winners will need to provide us with an active email address for billing and communication purposes.
If the invoice is not paid within 48 hours the invoice will be canceled and the Gemstone made available for future adoption.
Available with each Gemstone Orphan is an optional, individually curated bag of additional gemstone beads, crystals, findings, and other materials that will be shown during the auction. Each of these bags will have its own, unique price and will be offered as an optional add-on to the winner of the auctioned Gemstone.
