Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

Oh no it's my size T_T



Yup, we'll see what they say! I'm going to pop by Lang who may or may not be willing to help and another local jeweler that I have an actual appointment with to try to get two opinions. And it might be possible to get a further discount if it needs repair, I've been in contact with the manager at the local TRR office.



Only 10% off but at this price that's significant and I think it was a good price before for the ctw and the quality of the French cuts. So fingers crossed! I'm hoping they either say "oh it's fine, you're crazy and it doesn't need to be repaired" or "it's super high risk just return it" so I don't have ambiguity.

Lang doesn’t take on repairs for anything but their own pieces.

I recommend Nick Engel in SF. I was at a jewelry seminar and I swear all the jewelers there talked about how he’s the only shop they trust with their repairs. He’s not cheap but he’s capable and very honest.

Just be sure to tell him not to polish if you want to keep the patina.

I called them and they said they might have some availability now but in general they don't.

I'll add Nick Engel to the list, thank you!

That’s new! That’s what they told me in the past so that’s good to know, thank you!

Same seller has another band that looks identical but correctly named French cuts. It makes me wonder if they made a mistake and used the wrong photo…

I had put some bids on the "mine cut" band. I was hoping no one else noticed they weren't Mine cut ! To me, the diamonds look smaller/different than the band described as "French Cut"- so I think they are two different rings.
 
Well-loved 18K Belais band - size 8.5 - $130. You know this thing has seen a lot of life.

Have I posted this? I think this will be pretty in person. Sapphire may lean dark but IMO won’t black out and doesn’t have a window.

It’s pretty and a nice price!
I do wonder if the mostly enclosed gallery is doing any heavy work on it not looking like there’s a window.
 
@Rfisher Good catch. Still think it’s worth the gamble for the right person.
 
Nvm that went quick.. oops

I'll be very curious to see your pictures! I have a feeling it will be much better than the ones in the listing.

Someone bought it for$1299. Interesting! Wonder if it was anyone here. My idea was to buy it and send it DK to re-engrave and make pretty. His people do beautiful engraving, including on worn stuff.

Why are the RealReal photos so awful? I like those earrings but the photos make the diamonds look dull.
Click to expand...

I asked the Real Real for more photos. They said no. Their response was essentially that they want consistency for all customers. So no one gets better photos or more information. I find that kinda funny. You’d think they’d want to be helpful. NOPE!
 
@caf Yeah, they won't do that. The only thing I think might work is if the item is located at a physical store, you could call the store and ask an SA to text you photos.

Also, I'd like to report to the group that I bought a Burberry jacket from them (in "Good" condition) and it had mud on it. MUD! But it was authentic and $100 on final sale so hopefully the dry cleaner can make it right.

If you are ever interested in a piece, a SA can have it transferred into their store to take more photos, even it it is not in any store at the moment, but it has to be over $1000 (which these earrings are). If an item is under $1000, then they will not transfer it in. My SA has pieces brought in all of the time (I never requested a SA, they just started texting me, like a cold call to get a client! When one quits, then suddenly another in a different part of the country will text me and ask to be my new SA, it is pretty wild. Let me say, I have never been to a TRR location in my life in person, I guess I just like to shop online and they noticed...)!

You are right. I realize for some reason I mis-read Dreamer’s comment as French not Perruzi - idk why! Did you end up with it?

Did the seller ever say if it were size 4 or 7?
