Woot! Ebay find! Michael Beaudry Flower Diamond & Platinum band!!

[TravelingGal]

I was just putting in my feedback to the seller and someone else put in feedback for this beaudry ring (below). This person got it for around 1K too. How is this person selling Beaudry for so cheap? Maybe pieces sold before MB got more famous? If I didn''t meet Michael Beaudry today, I wouldn''t have believed it, but he said he''s seen auctions where his stuff is sold for 1/5 of the price. Crazy.

And here''s the backside of the ring the other buyer bought...

 

[TravelingGal]

Whoops, let me post the bigger photo if the other ring (which I repeat, is not mine!)

I'm really liking MB's work!

 

[TravelingGal]

btw, the piece above did have the 6 digit number on the ring (so it can''t be that old). Would make it a lot easier to authenticate before you even buy because maybe one could call Beaudry and check...all their rings have individual numbers tied to ring details.

Gasp! Love it!

It''s beautiful! What a steal! That''s neat you got to meet Michael too. Wish I could find great ebay deals too but it''s so difficult to find rings in smaller sizes.

 

[Dee*Jay]

How awesome is that! Beautiful ring and so cool that you got to meet MB himself!

Don''t rub it in snlee, I had smaller size fingers until Amelia made me fat. I can thank her for being able to wear this on my right hand ring finger!!!

No kidding! The guy is not hard on the eyes. No one in that store is. His wife (who I think I saw before I left) is gorgeous and the guy that helped me was attractive as well. I felt like the ugly duckling in that store.

**** FAINTING DEAD AWAY ****

That is perfection. Perfection AND a steal?

Well ... at least it happened to someone I adore. Blerg. JEALOUS! Mixed feeling! ENVY!!

**tilt**

LOL Deco, that made me laugh. I believe in Karma, so I think you''ll find your awesome deal.

Tacori, thanks for the sweet compliment about Amelia being lucky. I''m more lucky to have her. BTW, my mom told me not to give this ring to her until waaaaay later in life. LOL. It''s a size 6 so chances are she will be able to wear it on one of her fingers. If not, oh well - she''ll have to settle for the JM padparadscha ring.

Well, if you haven''t gotten yours yet, then you''re due.

I''m not tempting fate again with ebay. Lightning doesn''t strike twice.

Back to buying toys or something on ebay, I go.

 

[FrekeChild]

That is just a fabulous deal TGal. You lucky lucky lucky duck.

 

[sasa]

the ring is beautiful! Lucky girl!

 

[Lorelei]

Delighted for you, its wonderful Tgal!!!

 

[Rhea]

Wow, that is one gorgeous ring! I can''t believe you found it at that price, what a steal!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

What an amazing find, TGal! Congrats!

 

[Burk]

WOW!! What a great find! It''s gorgeous. Amelia is one lucky little girl!

 

[stepcutnut]

TG- lovely ring!!!

I wanted that ruby play band sooooo bad, but decided against it because he offered me no return policy--- but seeing it again makes a little tear come to my eye for letting go!!!

 

[lili]

Great find TGal!
It''s beautiful....and very fitting as your "Amelia Ring"

 

[icekid]

wow, what a find, Tgal! Classy, gorgeous ring. And it sounds like MB is one classy guy, as well.

Lovin'' that ruby band as well...

With all of the economic problems people are going through these days, I won''t be too surprised if these deals start becoming far more numerous. (I''ll be looking for my great deal too

)

 

[puffy]

WOW, Tgal great find!! it''s lovely!!

 

[kcoursolle]

Woot indeed, and how incredible that you got to meet MB himself!!! This band is elegant, well-crafted, and really beautiful! Enjoy it!

Hi TravelingGal,

Congratulations on finding such a good deal on your Beaudry flower band. The workmanship alone is worth much more than what you paid for it. Your daughter is a lucky little girl. I have met Michael and his wife in person several times when they showed up for personal appearances at Beaudry shows at local jewelry stores. In fact, Michael sketched the design for my pad ring at one of these shows. Enjoy your ring.

Thanks all!


Coati, I''m glad you have slim, beautiful fingers/hands, otherwise I may not have gotten it, lol.


Which is why I am going to JM for the pad. As much as Leon was very kind, for the price of one of his settings, I could get this Beaudry, a JM and probably have money left over. Plus I like having two rings to wear so they don''t wear out too much.

and

2 rings yah!

 

[TravelingGal]

Thanks again everyone!!!

AN, yeah, I actually mentioned to Sonny that there''s a MB ring I love with a pad in it that I saw (yours, of course!). Did MB actually put the Beaudry stamp on it even though he did not source the stone?

Yes, the workmanship is great. The ring is very subtle on my finger and really only I would notice the workmanship/details.

 

[Art Nouveau]

TravelingGal,

Beaudry''s policy may have changed, but as of a couple of years ago, on custom settings, if the center stone is not provided by Beaudry, the ring gets a Beaudry "fleur de lis" stamp, but not the "Beaudry" stamp.

What a find! Simply gorgeous. Enjoy!
