We have a pre-loved board. You can post a "WANTED" add. Diamond Bistro is where many of post our second hand pieces. Ebay is where I find my pieces, but that's for experienced shoppers, you can lose your shirt there if you aren't careful. There's another board... I can't remember what it's called. Started by PSers and a nice place to shop.

Here are some options on ebay:

I would ask for that, and the mm size of the diamonds. If the stones are nice quality and the measurements of the stones matches the carat weight they are listing for the stones, then it could be a good deal.

I think Gypsy is thinking of loupetroop.com... DBTY type necklaces and bracelets seem to turn up there fairly regularly. In fact, you might want to check LT right now. Also keep an eye on PS's "pre-oved" forum for DBTY necklaces PS'ers might have for sale elsewhere.

Thanks Gypsy - appreciate your time in looking and responding
I will have a look at the sites you mentioned - I know there a some sites I looked at years ago - but for the life of me i can't remember what they are called. ....sigh.

Hi D2B, the second preloved site Gypsy was talking about is Loupe Troop.

Here is another site I never used but perhaps there might be something of interest for you.

ETA OK VR already linked you to Loupe Troop.
Good luck with your search.
