Opinions on Edwardian Ring please

[catherineLewis]

I found a beautiful ring that is similar to the ring I'm looking for. (I like Art Nouveau and Edwardian). I emailed them and they were amazing and really helpful, but I'm still deciding if I want to go in for the plunge...

Can I get some opinions on what people think about it?

Hi Catherine,
I also think this ring is very beautiful and very different. I think it is very overpriced though. Did they tell you the stats on the diamonds. Color, clarity etc. The description only states that the diamonds are about .9 ct each. Is it certified? I have a feeling others will feel this way as well. I love the style very very much! You have great taste!

I'm really not that 'clued up' yet, as new to pricescope but wanted to say what a stunning, unique design!
I would love to see it on a finger.

Hi Catherine, as you already know, the ring is simply stunning. Is it overpriced ? ofcourse it is. But how long will you wait to find that exact piece you want in reality ? You don't mention any concerns about the price & you have already made contact with the vendor regarding the ring and it didn't surprise me that they were very polite & helpful. Because there are a limited number of genuine period pieces on the market of this quality vendors will always ask a huge premium, it also appears to me that when buying in the US they seem to attach a greater premium than that paid over here in the UK. You have exquisite taste and a healthy budget so take your time and keep trawling, if that particular ring sells then so be it. A couple of names to try your side of the pond, Lang Antiques/ Laurelle Antique jewellery. They have some beautiful pieces in the periods you are interested in, sorry if you have already checked them out.

I think that it is dreadfully overpriced the diamonds in it are not that large. If it is worth it depends on how much you love it and can't live without it.

It's a lovely, one of a kind piece . . . and that's why they feel free to ask a rather high price for it.

As a ring, it is wonderfully unique and really pretty. If you love it, can't live without it, must have it . . . okay.
As an investment, don't take that plunge.

I think I want to do it!!! Thanks everyone for the advice! it really helped!

I ended up deciding on a lower budget... I love the Edwardian Ring so much, but I want to keep it under $20,000.

Out of these two rings, which one is more "Art Deco"?

Have you tried negotiating on the price of the first ring?

 

[catherineLewis]

They were willing to negotiate on the other rings that I liked, but on this one they said that the listed price was the lowest they could go. I think it already got sold anyways

 

[catherineLewis]

Yeh. I just confirmed. The Edwardian Ring is already sold...
