Hi,
Don't know much about jewellery but want to purchase a piece of estate jewellery from ebay and want to ask for the opinion if it is worth $1100. (eg. precious metal/stone value)
18k white gold bracelet.
Weight: 9.8 grams
Stones: 81 single cut diamonds totaling .40ctw est. are embedded into the mount.
The diamonds are estimated at N in color and I-2 in clarity.
Would this be quite sparkly or quite dull that I'm better off with cubic zirconia/crystal for cheaper price?
thanks!
This will be crap. N is a very dark colour. I means visible flaws in the diamonds. Single cut means that the cut is crap and they wouldn't waste their time doing them properly. The diamonds will be tiny and a lot of them will be quite fuzzy with black marks on them.
You will not be proud to wear this bracelet. Regardless of what it is "worth" it would not be attractive.
Sorry, but it is shit.
I always imagined people who know about diamonds to speak more elegantly :D
Good advice anyway.
I am capable of writing elegantly. Elegance is, however, the furthest thing I would want to imply in relation to the offering being discussed.
Besides, FFS, this be OzB, bro. Wot u b thinkin'? Sho nuff, Elegance? U b in da wron place. Beside, she axe for a pinyun, I give it to her.
;->
Thanks very much for your help!
3/4 Gold might be worth ~$400
bidz.com?
in my opinion it would be worth for $600-$800 for custom made from local jeweller. also it depends on design & brand, brand name and designer charges are always cost you more.
