Would you buy this vintage ring? Report says chipped diamond

[Lofi]

Hi! I am looking at this ring to purchase. http://eragem.com/wmfil8.html It has an appraisal with it saying several of the diamonds are chipped. Obviously it's 100 years old so that doesn't totally surprise me but... Wanted your expert opinions before pulling the trigger. Thanks!!

This seems expensive for what it is. Cold aren't an automatic no for me but this is asking a lot

I agree with Niel, it is quite pricey, especially if some of the stones are damaged. There are lots of similar rings around, personally, I'd pass.

The seller agreed to lower it to $5,000. Do you all have links to places that sell this style art deco? I would prefer this look actually without the sapphires.

I have seen plenty of these types of rings on ebay and etsy. Maybe keep looking?

Jewels by Grace comes to mind and she may have more if you contact her and ask:

GildedLane and SinCityFinds on Etsy also come to mind but doesn't look like they have anything right now...these are common on Ebay and Etsy but you'll need to know what to look for (nice looking stones, good condition, etc.)

Thank you so much!!! I love the first link and have reached out to Erica about it.

I thought this was pretty, lower carat weight than you were looking at, though. It's an example of what's available on etsy.

There have been quite a few north-south dinner rings on my instagram lately. I can't remember the specific posters but JBG is sure to have, or know of someone selling, this style of ring.

A similar look (well ,as much as you can given the price difference) at a much lower price from a respected PSer:
