So, good buy or not?

I was at the consignment shop dropping off. I should know better than looking in the fine jewelry case. Usually I laugh at how over priced it is. (I have started given them gold for that reason. I make more off them than off Ebay, even with the 50% cut.) Anyhoo. there is a pretty pair of diamond earrings for $1,300. Right next to them are another pair of diamond earrings marked $288. They were very heavy, and because they have been there for 2 months, I got a 20% discount, bringing the cost down to $220.
They weigh 12 grams. There are 33 diamonds in each. They is between 1/2 - 1/3 carat total.

This was a good buy, right? I don't care if they sit on Ebay for a while. I can ear them until they sell! LOL. The joy of jewelry shopping!!!

Seems like a good buy.

Well, as long as they are 14k then you paid about melt price minus the diamonds, so that's not bad. How much you gonna list them for $399?

I was thinking $499, maybe even $550. Too high?

Are they hallmarked? 14k?

Yup. In several places, and it says (c) 7152
Whatever that means.
