Yeah that's crazy not to be able to approve or reject certain items. They mark some things up to 70% off.

I mean, I live in Brooklyn. The UES is practically another state!
I do go to the Brooklyn location regularly, but only to make returns. They actually have relatively little jewelry on display. I'm going to have to make an excursion at some point to the other stores just to see how they compare. You know, for research.
Please do! There's not one anywhere near me. I tried to visit the San Francisco store but I didn't realize it had closed.
@lala646 -- I wouldn't sell anything under $300 with them. They're making a really big push for more expensive items ($1k and up) and want to get out of the cheaper item game. That's why the structure is so terrible for lower priced items. I sold a pair of Tiffany sunglasses and got like, $5 for them after the fees and markdowns. It was ridiculous. BUT, for some designer items it might be worth it. I sold a vintage Chanel bag for $1600 and got $1200 after fees. Fashionphile wanted to pay me $500 for the bag.

Yeah, most of my items are in the $400-$2000 range, but non-branded, so I'd be looking at a 35-40% commission, which really sucks. Then add in the inability to direct on pricing decisions. So suddenly that $1000 piece could be discounted enough to fall into the lower price tier, and subject to the higher commission, and you're being hit twice.

It’s a beautiful earlier OEC, definitely something I would buy. I feel like the price is high for a 0.35ish carat stone, even accounting for scrap for gold. Maybe the price is fair but not a “deal”, though those are hard to come by and take a lot of time to find. And if someone likes the mounting that’s a whole different story re:value!
How amazing is this one. For all the brooch lovers and turquoise too. Is @stracci2000 around?

For that kind of money, I'd want to know origin of the turquoise!
C'mon Fred.

Ok, team. I did some legwork on your behalf today, and visited TheRealReal store on the Upper East Side/Madison Ave. and checked out the Single Stone ring. Regrettably, my pictures were pretty awful. But, I can confirm it's definitely not a size 1.25. The stone looked nice, but the weather today was beyond awful, so even with the store lighting, conditions were far from optimal. But little photo and video here. The setting is in gorgeous shape, btw.
Surprisingly (to me at least), the jewelry display at the store was almost exactly the same as in Brooklyn (maybe they're the same in all stores?). Two relatively small cases, one of which was mostly watches, and the vast majority of the jewelry pieces on display were branded pieces - Tiffany, Cartier, VCA. Everything else is kept in the safe, and I had to ask a sales rep to get the piece for me to look at.

That is so awesome of you to do! It looks like a well cut stone to me but I'm not good at analyzing like some PSers are. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the setting. @lavenderdragonfly23 already found it was a size 5 (my size cough cough not like I need or can afford it) but they still have not changed the size on their website!!! They should to that because I doubt it will be around for long if they have the proper size listed.
The final sale ring that @winnietucker posted has been sold already...

Gosh, that is so pretty! Though maybe we shouldn't get the listing corrected so the price goes down for @Mreader

TRR finds!
This is pricey, but with a recut might end up as a good deal:
Pricier,but HUGE:
Another large stone
Another mystery. Size 1!?!?!? Doubtful.
I like these 2 toned styles:
Alex sepkus
Good deal IMHO for a tiffany e ring

ChatGPT is ruining descriptions. Nobody actually writes anything helpful anymore--it's all "The X is perfect for accessorizing with any outfit and is sure to be a stunning addition to any jewelry collection. Ideal for any occasion, this X is a must-have for jewelry enthusiasts and collectors alike" or "Add a touch of elegance to your outfit with this X. Crafted from high-quality materials, this piece features Y that are sure to catch the eye. The X is perfect for any occasion and can be worn as an accessory to any outfit. The vintage design adds a touch of sophistication and class, making it a timeless piece of jewelry. This is a one-of-a-kind piece that will make a great addition to any jewelry collection. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a stunning piece of history."
EVERYTHING is now a timeless addition to any jewelry collection that is sure to catch the eye and add a touch of elegance to any outfit, perfect for any occasion.
Edited to say: When I think of all the fossil fuels being burned to tell us that everything for sale on ebay is a timeless piece that will never go out of style, perfect for any occasion, and will add a touch of elegance to any outfit, I despair for our planet.

By no means is this cheap… maybe TRR will want to heavily discount it at some point?
