I'm inspired to let some things go.
As usual with of my listings, prices are my cost (inclusive of Etsy fees and shipping), but I know it's ok to take a loss. Such is life! All items are returnable/refundable. Anyway if anyone is interested in any of these, I'll put up more pictures, weigh them and provide more details, and add a link to Etsy. All are available for same-day priority mail shipping. Thanks for looking!
14k-15k antique English bloodstone pendant, circa 1890. Cracked on the reverse but perfectly stable inside its gold bezel, and a bargain. $37.50
10k lingerie pin, seed pearl, interlocking letter "A" - I had planned to use as a clasp on an antique 10k Edwardian chain. The interlocking letters are so pretty, and when you first look at it, it just looks like elegant lace rendered in gold - the "A" is almost a secret cypher.
$49
(please compare to the price for the same item, shown here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/704936388/vintage-diamond-necklace-edwardian-10k?ref=user_profile&frs=1)
14k rose gold chain, 18" together with the mystery snake pendant (marked 18k and sold to me as sapphire, but who knows - could be silver with glass crystals)
$125
Very old very beautiful gold (9k? rolled gold - bale is 14k) black enamel mourning locket with original glass, one glass is broken and this thing is very old and heavy. Sold to me as 14k. I'll be sorry to see it go because as antiques go, this one is sturdy and wearable, and so meaningful! The current Covid19 pandemic makes me understand mourning jewellery on a deeper level than I had before. Hoping this one is deeply treasured.
$119

Listed individually but these look great together. Both sold to me as 14k but I suspect 12k even though I can't have them tested now. Very old rings, one stamped by its maker, the other with no marks. Neither of these would be easy to size.
Band, size 6.75, with one section on the bottom showing wear. This was someone's wedding ring and its engraving is delicate and clear. I paid $175 plus tax and shipping for it, and asking $125 because I think that's as high as it should have gone, just being honest. I know it is rare, and beautiful, but it's an acquired taste, as my grandmother used to say. It annoys me when I see instagram sellers getting $350 for rings like this. Just my opinion. $125
Rose-cut diamond ring, size 7.75 to 8-ish with a split shank. Bought from Louis Wine Ltd, a Toronto antiques dealer on Ruby Lane during a sale. I paid $325 with shipping, now asking $275. The diamond is moody and ghostly - like an antique mirror, and the foil is original. If you wanted to remove the foil, the diamond could be bezeled and place back into the floral head. This is such a beautiful ring! I should have worn it. $275
