I find my eyes drifting toward the longer chain necklaces too. There is a nice appeal about them, isn't there?Pirard|1433764503|3886495 said:I agree that the price seems somewhat high...but then all his stuff generally is pretty pricey for what you're buying.

They told us they don't verify items when we brought in a Yurman we purchased second hand but did comment it looked like one of theirs and cleaned it for us. I doubt they would clean something that isn't theirs.

Lots of jewelers clean items that aren't theirs; it's a nice way to build a customer base. You'll come back the next time you're in the neighborhood, and eventually, buy something.
Curious that they won't verify an item. Will Tiffany's verify items?
I've only stepped into Tiffany's once to look at pearls and haven't been back, so I don't know what they would do. You are right - I've had another jewelry store clean a star sapphire ring that they asked to see. Their jeweler was impressed with it because it was purple and he had never seen that color. I think it was just a way for him to get a closer look and see if it was real or not. I wonder if they don't want to verify unless money is paid because there becomes an issue of liability if the sales person is incorrect.
