We have 30 new, unique, and beautiful Gemstone Orphans up for adoption. They are all very excited to be going to new, loving homes. These Orphans are diverse, different, and spectacular. Each Gemstone Orphan comes with its own set of adoption papers containing registration numbers, descriptions, photos, etc.
There will be 5 Second Chance Orphans to give as many people as possible a chance to adopt a new friend.
Each auctioned item will begin with an opening bid of $10.00 unless announced otherwise. 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 1 to 3 minutes. A timer will be displayed on the screen. If the bidding ends before the timer is finished, 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, later, if there is time.
The Second Chance Auctions will be spaced throughout the event. These auctions will be held exclusively for those who have not won an auction up to that point.
Additional special events will be announced during the auction and the rules explained for each.
All sales are final. At the end of the auction, PayPal invoices will be emailed 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 need to provide us with an active email address for billing and communication purposes.
If the invoice is not paid within 48 hours, and we have received no communication from the buyer, the invoice will be canceled and the Gemstone Orphan 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 has its own, unique price and will be offered as an optional add-on to the winner of the auctioned Gemstone.
Keep your fingers and toes crossed we have no technical difficulties. If we lose the internet, we will restart a new stream as soon as possible.
