Advice needed…should I buy this Diamond Riviera Necklace?

[Aussiewen]

Hi everyone
Had an opportunity to purchase a Diamond Riviera Necklace.
25.3 Carats and 55g weight.
Centre stone 1.80 then followed by 1.20, 1.20, 1.00, 1.00 all certified as G si2. The agreed price is $40k AUd so about $28k US
Is this a good buy? Valued at $140k Aud
Thanks

Do you have a vid? How's the sparkle? Are the stones GIA certified?

If it all checks out the price seems good. How often do you plan to wear the necklace?

 

[Aussiewen]

Yes I’ve seen it in person. It’s amazing
I will wear it all the time lol

One last check to you can do is to take one of your GIA graded stones in to compare to the larger ones in the necklace-just to get a sense if the stones are really G color. Are there any visible black inclusions to your eye?

Preowned riviera necklaces usually trade at minimum of between $500-$1000 per carat. But the one you are considering has some 1 ct+ stones so it should trade for more. Sounds like a good deal!

Thank you I almost got it for $20k Aud but she changed her mind when I was going to pick it up 5 days later. I couldn’t stop thinking about it so still bought it for $40k. Here’s advice. If you want something get it straight away or you can miss out lol
