Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

I appreciate everyone’s suggestions and have already started exploring center stones of all kinds!! It could take up to two weeks for these to arrive, but I will share once they’re here. Perhaps I’ll start a separate thread as the exploration continues.

@lavenderdragonfly23 thank you so much for sharing this amazing piece. I love that you were still tempted up until the very end!! I’m impressed that you had such control. These auctions really make you want to win once you’re in it!

I will also keep everyone updated regarding what I plan to keep or sell! The floral and butterfly settings look so gorgeous and unique - I hope they’re even better in person!!
 
I feel like all told, this is a good value and certainly an incredibly rare piece. The conditions is outstanding!

FYI after I saved seller sent me an automatic offer of $9500. I’d offer like $8500. That’s wild for three 1ct diamonds and mint antique setting IMO.

After I looked at the item, I clicked his store and this came up. I wonder if he mismarked the 3.45 one? Screenshot 2025-03-13 at 2.17.03 PM.png
 
The most perfect oec, possibly ever :love:

5.78 K/VS1
46% table, 67% depth

The tiny table, chunky tall crown, perfect depth, just enough to get that kozibe, yet not loose weight to the depth… ahhhh. That color, that clarity… LOVE!

No idea what I wojld do w this because the setting is insane. But I love tje center stone.

That has Cabana Boy written all over it.
 
The listing describes as an OEC but I am super happy with it being a transitional. If only I could discern the pattern without major magnification! But new glasses will probably help :)

Its a very pretty transitional! We have seen so many of these lately.
 
This seems like a good place to ask:

I have been watching something on eBay for a long time. Messaged the seller a question a few months back about some measurements. No reply. Decided yesterday to make an offer, which was low. No reply, they just let it lapse. Seller is high volume 99% positive due to two negative reviews last year. 30 day returns. It’s a simple gold ring nothing wild.

Would you make another offer? I’m hesitant bc of the lack of communication so far and what that could mean if I need a return etc. Like, set an auto reject for low offers if you won’t reply, eh? Instead they waste my time ignoring.

I'd say they were Just ignoring your offer, but the fact that you got no response to your questions would definitely give me pause. How about another "ask seller a question" option. If they ignore you again, then if you really want it, be prepared to keep it if you buy it at a higher price.

I would message them one last time and say, I am interested in this item however due to your lack of communication I’ve decided to look elsewhere. If you would like to negotiate- feel free to reach out to me.

Maybe there’s a weird eBay glitch?

I thought so from your user name but then you talked about visiting stores in LA and I was like “is TO for Toledo or something?” lol. I’m on the west coast.
