Some of you may have seen over on the lab board, I helped my niece's boyfriend with her engagement ring. My niece loves all my jewelry ... but being a 20 something (and my family, we all grew up poor no no generational help lol), she's still starting out and cant always afford the jewelry she wants. We're pretty close and she loves borrowing my jewelry and she also knows i have "jewelry friends" and I have bought and sold my engagement ring 6 times so she asked for help with this, LOL.
So, that said, she got a jewelry store clover bracelet. Now that she got engaged, she wants to sell it to help fund her wedding and asked me for help selling it.
I took it to be appraised because if I am helping her I wanted to make sure it's what they told her. So, I had an appraisal done and it's confirmed 18k rose gold, natural earth minded diamonds, grey mother of pearl, 7.5 inches, the clovers are 15mm. She paid $2,500, she's selling for $1,900. I had her do a loupetroop listing, but i told her we all want someone with post history to know what we're getting, so thats why she asked for me to help.
I told her she needs to be clear it is NOT VCA, I mean, Saks and Neiman Marcus and everyone else sells clover jewelry and based on the price and no hallmarks and no COA I figured it would be clear, but I still wanted her to actually state it, and let me know if this is problem, i am just trying to help my wayward niece pay for her wedding, LOL. It appraised for $5850 and the appraisal will be sent with it.
It's super pretty and sparkly, I have to say I am a little obsessed with the grey MOP! It's so pretty ...and SOOO hard to photograph LOL.
