Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

Anyone have $33k in spare change lying around? Seems like a "deal" for Kat Florence if it retails for $130k, but price wasn't listed on retailer's site. That spinel looks like a big yummy piece of candy...and all Colorless IF diamonds!


I had never heard of Kat Florence before TRR but the retail pricing always seems high to me. Any intel?
 
I’m crying, in my head anyway. This is my dream ring!

It’s such a beautiful ring… I can see why. It never hurts to reach out to see if there is some wiggle room, or layaway. If you’ve never seen an I in person…. It’s truly a site to behold. My first love was a 3.45ct I/IF from Erstwhile in the most incredible Edwardian setting…. For… you may want to sit down… $120k :dance:

It truly took my breath away… now, am I the right person for an IF? Absolutely not, she would have been a VS after my first week with her :lol:

My first love

So perhaps $35k doesn’t feel so bad now, lol… happy to help lol
 
overpriced at 50K
 
Antique animal jewelry on Instagram is having a 48 hour flash sale.
I had been eyeing a turquoise snake bracelet that went already. I don’t know how much it was marked down too , I had been eyeing it for a while too, darn lol.
There’s good stuff but going quick
 
I’m not sure about the price as I have never seen a comp, but I love this and want it. Supposedly French 1930’s

Beautiful! I love it. IMO overpriced but the kind of overpriced that isn't bad enough that it would stop me from buying it if I really wanted it.

The seller estimates of clarity are very poor too. But Ive bought stones appraised at I1 that were much better before.
 
Cool crown of light unisex design

This has the potential to be a lovrly cut

The melee of that second one look pretty well-cut too plus the scrap price of the gold is like $700....

Yup, I thought that too. Solid pudchase for someone I think.
 
How are y'all sleeping on this beauty?? Great price! I know someone's looking for a starburst. I would buy it myself if I didn't already have one. (And even then I'm still tempted.)

I wonder how confident people are these days buying secondhand jewelry with modern cut diamonds. The melee does look well cut--so well cut that I would wonder whether it might be lab. Which would then make me wonder about the rest of the piece.

Not saying it IS lab, just...at what point do you lose confidence in your ability to guess about jewelry based on photos?

I do think the big diamond there is probably natural because it's an old cut in a style that isn't widely cut in labs. But I would no longer trust myself to know if high quality MB cuts with arrow patterns are lab or natural.

Well the pawn shop has to at least do some work to tell before taking it in, but that's a really good point. I guess we just look for fluoro and inclusions and then hope for the best as laypeople. In this case the setting doesn't look modern, we'll say politely, which would make me feel better that they're natural. But you're totally right, it's scary! I think @nala was burned recently-ish by something a pawn shop said was natural but turned out to be lab?
