Love that bar-set ring!

My early-1900s OEC...

ETA: Speaking of OECs on ebay, there's a nice looking set for what looks like a good price to me here:

I'd grab if I weren't broke!

 

[Bliss]

Wow, such treasures to be found on eBay!

I foud this pretty little pear on eBay for a steal. It was sold to me as H and SI, sorry, can''t remember exactly! I don''t think it''s a G as it has a beautiful creamy warmth to it, but it is certainly clear and very firey. Set in 14kt yellow gold. Here it is next to my russian ring.

Too bad this thread wasn''t started a loooooooong time ago. I have found MANY great E-bay deals, including a 5 stone diamond band, multiple wedding bands, artcarved, orange blossom (all under $100), semi-mounts, a fabulous 11 stone diamond band with excellent quality diamonds..too many to even remember! I seem to have alot of luck finding what I''m looking for (at a steal), you just need time and patience when it comes to E-bay! I have a few favourite sellers that list great new jewelry weekly. In the 8 years I''ve been shopping E-bay, and the 150 transactions, I''ve never had a problem. There are some awesome sellers and some fabulous finds on that site! I will list a few of my favourite sellers when time permits!

I found my half-carat total weight insert ring guard for a steal on Ebay! I would have paid pretty much the same amount to get my engagement ring sized, but I have fingers that swell and contract frequently, so a guard was the perfect solution for me.

My Michael Beaudry Platinum and Diamond Flower Ring. I got it for $1,000 and it is worth quite a bit more. It was authenticated by Michael Beaudry himself.

We can't give away all our secrets!

I will say MaxHenri has some fabulous finds! Here is the 5 stone band (almost .90 tcw) that I got for him for about $400! Brand new, just sitting in his safe, unworn, calling my name! lol The diamonds were spectacular!!
VS-SI-1 and F/G in color. A VERY well made piece, with alot of weight to it! I also bought another diamond band from him that was a steal, and was VERY pleased with him. Dover Jewelers is another great E-bayer. I bought an 11 stone diamond band from him, again the diamonds were fabulous..it sparkled like mad, was an impressive ring for about $450. I also purchased a gorgeous bezel set band in 18k white gold from Dover. Rtbetti is another wonderful lady who sells alot of antique/vintage pieces for fabulous prices! I bought an antique band (will try to find pics) for about $ 90, and just loved that one too! Soooo many great finds...if you take the time to really look!

 

[beau13]

Here is the antique band I got from RtBetti..and of course the wonderful bezel set band in 18k white gold that was sooooo sparklie and well made..for about $500 from Dover Jewelers! It seems great deals and fabulous jewelry have a way of finding me on E-bay!

 

[beau13]

This 11 diamond band was from Dover Jewelers on E-bay.

 

[beau13]

I can''t forget the sapphire/diamond band I scored for less than $100 from MaxHenri (shown with antiqe band from RtBetti)

 

[beau13]

I also found this new (unworn) 14k white gold Artcarved band (3mm) for about $80! I love it with my halo ring!
I also found an antique Orange Blossom band for about $80 (18k white) , but when I tried it on, I found it a little too delicate for my taste! (just sold it for a bit more days ago on E-bay

)

 

[beau13]

Last of the E-bay finds! There''s more, but those are my best finds! Friends think I spend a fortune on my jewelry..if only they knew!!

Beau13- That is one gorgeous 5 stone.. I''m soooo jealous and its TDF

[beau13]

Hey D&T
Thanks!
There are a few pics here:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/the-most-beautiful-5-stone-band-ive-ever-seen.94883/
I loved the ring, however, it didn''t go with the new halo reset, so I sold it a few months ago..the lady that bought it was sooo in love with it, that she didn''t want to give it to her son (whom she was buying the ring for..he was gonna pay her back, it was for his girlfriend).

That is really pretty and really unique. Love it!

Beau, thanks for the tip on the sellers! I really like this ring from MaxHenri. Too bad I don''t have the extra cash right now!

My OEC ring was from a seller in Texas called lonestarestates. They supposedly specialize in well cut estate diamond jewelry.

OOO i like that MaxHenri ring too! So pretty. Unfortunately I too don''t have $500 lying around... shoot.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

I don''t have a picture, but my best ebay find was a RB and baguette engagement ring set in platinum for $150...I was very happy with that purchase!

 

[arjunajane]

Good thread idea Sailor!
ebay is great for vintage diamonds - here are my two fave diamond finds:

0.4ct OEC (bought as 0.37) for $140..K/L/M colour:
this lil guy will soon be going into a three stone ring with some coloured gems

 

[arjunajane]

I can''t even say how impressed I was with this cute transitional when she came.
Beforehand it was being sold in a very average mount which hid the diamond''s true beauty -
I made an offer to the seller for just the diamond, and was thrilled when she accepted!

Even better, when checked the diamond came back as exactly what it was sold as - 0.47 G VS1. My appraiser could not believe what I paid, lol..

 

[arjunajane]

and here''s the trans in its home, a handmade bezel milgrain pendant.


plenty more non-diamond finds, will post more later

beau, I''ve always liked that antique band so much, that I''d like to pick up that mounting from Adwar and have someone make that ring for me (at some point).

I checked RtBetti on Ebay and she doesn''t come up as a seller. Is there a letter or two missing?

Hey Gemgirl, always good to hear from you! Love the new avatar!!
I made a mistake, its TBETTI (but her username is rbetti). Here is the link to her store:
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/TBetti-Jewelry-Designs__W0QQ_armrsZ1
She doesn''t seem to have much for sale right now, I lucked out with the vintage band..and wish I would have kept it (I mean, where am I gonna get another one like that for less than $100). Oh well !
