I came across this super cute antique ring with a wonky old mine cut diamond in a really pretty and unusual setting. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I wasn't on a self imposed bling buying ban. It' so cute!

This is unusual! So precious. But overpriced, I think.

That is an amazing piece. I'd love to own something like that.

Know someone who loves unicorns? This would be such a great gift. Hand painted on mother of pearl.

@winnietucker, maybe @Bron357 could weigh in on the Tiffany bracelet, she is quite the expert at EBay.

Is this legit? Price seems low compared to other Tiffany items listed...

At around $3,500 / $4,000 that would be a great buy whether or not it was Tiffany. Personally I wouldn’t pay the extra “Tiffany” premium unless I was buying one of their “signature” pieces or a vintage piece. Message seller and ask for a photo of the hallmark /s. If there’s no Tiffany Hallmark, stick to say $3,750 as max bid, if hallmarked Tiffany and you’re wanting a Tiffany piece, bid to your comfort level.

Thanks! I think I’m going to watch it for now. While trying to google this to find out if it’s real I found another style I like a bit more so I think I’ll just try to find an affordable version/ preowned one of that one instead.

Somebody PLEASE buy this! I messaged the seller and the center diamond is 4.75mm and the sides are 4.5mm so just under a carat. Measures 12.20mm north to south and 17mm east to west. If I was not aiming for a cluster I would totally buy this, also he accepts offers!

Also apparently the seller is motivated because after I thanked him for the info he lowered the price to $989. So if you are thinking about it there is definitely room for negotiation!

I would so buy this Georgian button conversion to a ring but as a size 9 with a thick hand made gold band, it won't be resizable anywhere near my small fingers. The stones are rose cut spinel according to the seller, only one is a diamond. Very affordable, IMO.

item no 372828462151
2. Alexandrite pendant. This is wee but lovely. Again 14k gold. $185.64 or offer. I’d offer $160. Item no 333387392489.

And continuing the green theme. These are in Aust, take advantage of our lousy $ only $74 US. Listed as emeralds.
i see these as fabulous side stones in a ring. In 9ct gold, 5 x 3 mm each.

I think this looks nice for the sale price, but I’m no expert:

I thought this was a big look for not a lot of money. These are zircon, transitional cut and about two carats each. Size 8 for us bigger fingers (like me) but also resizable:

All the dainty ladies, put your hands up!

I found this little treasure on EBay, it is very reminiscent of Van Craeynest without the premium. The diamond is small but very high quality and just look at that engraving!

What a pretty ring! Any thoughts about the time period? I wonder if it would work in a stack or if it would be better worn alone...

@Poesy, I'm going to say maybe 40's.

I think it would work in a stack but stacking a band against it would probably wear down the engraving and details on the sides. I have an engraved ring and I wear it as a RHR for this reason

How do you bid on this, or contact the seller? Or is it sold?
