I bought it! Confirming it was not the price you last saw LOL. I’m obsessed with antique Tiffany though, and this setting is exquisite and seems like such an amazing contender for an engagement ring. Except I wasn’t thinking about the fact that it would take something close to an eight carat OMC to fill that center!! I’m going to get it and see what might make sense.

I also won a second lot of two platinum and diamond Art Nouveau settings, which I bid on as a back up and accidentally won. Look how sweet those designs are! These hold around 7mm-8mm stones.

I’m not sure if I’ll keep all of them, but I suppose I have some searching to do in the meantime!

I also did some digging into this auction and it’s actually super fascinating. The owner was a philanthropist who collected everything from rare art to jewels for many decades. Most of the items haven’t seen the open market in over 30 to 40 years, and they’ve had about five different auctions to sell everything over the past six months. 100% of the proceeds from the auctions are going to charities close to the family’s heart. I love knowing that the money I spent is going to good causes - I read that this woman sadly lost her child to cancer many years ago. Here is the article for anyone who’s interested to learn more!


Anyway - open to any and all ideas about what to fill these guys with!!!

I just saw you bought the Tiffany -congrats its lovely! I was planning on bidding but ended up with some nasty bug so it was the furthest thing from my mind. Glad it went to a PSer :) I’ll be excited to see what you decide to do with her.

I swear I’ve seen the first one before. It reminds me of something I almost bid on on eBay and I’m trying to find the picture. I absolutely adore the setting. Also I’m convinced you have first look (I think You said you did not? ?) because every time I look at your stuff it says unavailable lol. And then later in the day it’s available.

Update I found it in my old photos. I want to say it was only $1100! And I almost bid on it and the first time it got no bids and the second time I still almost bid on it and the second time I think it sold for 1500. I saved in my favorites because the ring was so beautiful And I regretted not getting it.

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.

Hi Dreamer. In this case, I would ask myself, do I want this ring. Is it rare enough and special enough to pay full price and sacrifice a little more to get something that doesn’t come around too often.

A vendor that doesn’t respond to niceties is likely not going to respond after a third time. I wouldn’t take it personally. They likely sell enough volume to behave this way towards customers. With thirty day returns I’d just make it a bare minimum transaction and return unapologetically if I have to (if it’s not what I thought it was).

I have never made offers because I’m usually afraid to lose the item, and the price usually seems fair, after mental calculations, for the rarity even if I could have asked for a lower price. Some vendors just aren’t that personable, but to get what I want I tolerate it. If you can take it or leave it, and you feel the worth is actually lower, I’d offer a third time and -then- buy at full price if ignored. But if you don’t want to lose it, I’d buy now at full price.

I never did bid on it, unfortunately I ended up with the crud and am just getting back to semi-functional now. The estate that was selling that lot was from a super interesting lady also!
