Love, love, love that zircon bypass ring.........
What was the pricing like? It often seems to me that things are a lot more expensive over here.

Hello Snowdrop,
Yes the prices were possibly a bit high, bit to be honest I don't really know what prices should be like for antiques. I'll be doing some research on jewels by Grace website before my next trip. These prices are approximate and from memory:
Art Deco opal ring £4700
Blue zirconia bypass ring £775 http://www.t-robert.com/product/18ct-gold-blue-zircon-cross-over-ring/
Aquamarine ring £6500 (I forgot to ask if it was untreated/ unheated I would hope so at that price!)
Diamond necklace around £8000
Emerald cabochon ring around £5000
Burmese ruby and diamond bangle £5300 ish
As I went for the last afternoon many vendors were very open to negotiation.

I think those are kind of what I would expect though it is hard to compare with some of the US sites (I love JbG too!). The zircon ring seems reasonably priced, thank you so much for taking the time to link to it. It is really pretty Those earrings are absolutely gorgeous too.......

Hi Missy
I have somewhat 'chunky' earlobes and they did not look good on me so I didn't take down a price. I have had a look on the vendors website and they are not there (the other two longer pairs are). Sorry I can't help, but here is his website, the earrings are not on his sold list so maybe they will come up for sale online soon?

Thanks Rosie! I don't think I will pursue it because I really don't need (haha do we need any of our bling really lol) any more earrings. However I am on the lookout for an OEC diamond riviera necklace so if you run across any I am interested. You have great taste. And your earlobes are perfect by the way.
