Finding who made this is driving me nuts

[Beachkid23]

And I may never find it but it's now complete. But it's a 14 carat diamond sapphire bracelet, earrings and pendant. Probably one of the nicest things I've ever bought. (Hopefully the most valuable thing I've ever bought.) I have to find somewhere to appraise it this week or next. I haven't been able to find anything similar to it whatsoever. All I know is that the lady who owned it worked at the Pentagon for her whole career. She made lots of money and bought really expensive jewelry. She also bought antique jewelry nothing new. So hopefully I can find something out about this shortly. But I thought I would share the set now that it's complete. I have $900 in it.

The stones are pink sapphire, blue sapphire, sunrise sapphire and diamond's.

If you feel like waiting, why not take some really close, high resolution photos and send them off to some well know appraisers/experts? They might be able to provide you with a lead for a small price.

The set is nice enough to learn more before a quick flip. That short amount of time awaiting more info could make your investment increase exponentially.

Is there a makers mark anywhere on it?

Maybe this is dumb question but did you ask her where she bought it? Or had she passEd?

List with BIN at 5000.

My guess without seeing the stone quality is 2800 - 3600
If quality of stones is exceptional... up to 5k.

The "allure" of this is the "set".

I base this IF stones a natural and non synthetic...
If synthetic... knock off 1000... so 1800 ish +

Thanks for the help. As far as I've been told the stones are all natural. I have a cheapo diamond tester is well and the diamonds rings High also the sapphires ring almost as high as the diamonds do. I've taken to other jewelers they have said the same thing as well. But I need to find a gemologist to get a better idea. The bracelet alone has 140 small diamonds in it. I don't think I can count the sapphires I think it'll drive me crazy!

I going to take it to a gemologist today however I'm not gonna leave it with him I don't think. The set weight total is about 49 to 50 g. It would have been heavier but I accidentally broke the chain so I had to put a different one on it.

Here is a picture of the makers Mark. I don't know if it's a back to back C or a Shamrock.

It's tucked away in the safe deposit box. And listed on eBay. Although now I have to pull it out and take better pictures of it so one of these days that is the plan. I had the prettiest and we are happy and full of appraised for... so now to get somebody to buy it!
