Anyone else remember me saying in the "someone has to buy this piece" thread how much I hated Instagram? Ok.. well unfortunately for me.. I am officially addicted to Maven Lane now.. and I stalk her page like a crackhead in need of a diamond fix. I'm going to be broke if she keeps finding the majestic vintage pieces. I can't be the only one with this problem..onto the goody of the day..It came from London.. I dont know what the date is yet though.. I was glazed over like a jelly donut.

I like your husband. Some of us have to be even more furtive...

Can't wait to see the band!!
 
So these are the 2 beauties I purchased from her. Aside from the moissanite, my stack is officially 100 years old +. The earliest dating back to the 20's. Shitty photographer [me] though. You can't see any of the sparkle and my lighting sucks. I just cleaned the moissanite as well..but the shitty iphone camera makes it look like plastic.

I stalk that IG page like.. a woman on the edge [thats the only safe way I can say it] LOL. Think of Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 2 when he's interrogating the french guy. "I've got nothing to lose!!!" lolol. You have to know the clip to appreciate the dire magpie crush I have on the vintage pieces that get listed. <3

edited: did you get it from MLA or some other goody find place?

I just made my first Maven Lane purchase today, I will have to try and take pics when it arrives!
 
Do you DM her for prices? Or did I miss them somewhere?

Yes, I'm noticing all the vendors on IG use the "dm for pricing" feature.

I hate the DM for pricing thing. Just list the price! Let everyone know up front if it’s something in their price range.

I agree. Either you can afford it or not. I think it would save a LOT of back and forth.

Me too! I’m pretty much against buying anything from Instagram unless the price is listed. It’s not worth my time and I don’t like the game.
