Eating my words.. thank you Instagram & Maven Lane Antiques

[blingmeupscotty]

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?

Do you DM her for prices? Or did I miss them somewhere?

Yes I sent her a DM about the ring and she replied

Thanks! (I think.... So much temptation!)

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.

WEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL what did you get!?!

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.
