Gemstone Orphanage Adoption Auction

Gemstone Orphanage Adoption Auction

Since we started the Gemstone Orphanage Subscription Box program, people have asked if they can buy just the Gemstone Orphans. On Saturday, November 25th, at 10 am in the morning, we will be selling Individual Gemstones at our first-ever, Gemstone Orphanage Adoption Auction.

This is going to be fun!!!

We will present 25 unique and beautiful Gemstone Orphans at this live event. The Orphans will represent several different sizes and shapes. They will come in different colors and gemstone families, such as agates, jaspers, feldspars, and others. Each Gemstone Orphan will come with its own set of adoption papers with registration number, description, photos, etc.

If you watch the trailer for this video you will see all of the Gemstone Orphans that will be up for adoption.

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.

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. Coupons are good for only one Orphan Adoption.

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.

If you have additional questions, put them in the comments, or email us at:

If this works, and everyone enjoys the experience, we will hold additional Adoption Auctions so you can collect more Gemstone Orphans and use your discount coupons.
