What's it worth?

[Doubter in MD]

White gold with lower quality diamond. Blue stones my be sapphire but they have not been tested.

I don't know much more than that. So what do you think it's worth?

I suggest you take to a qualified jeweler/appraiser. No one on here can give you a realistic appraisal without handling. That is my humble opinion.

Estate jeweller will hold a higher value, but there's so many variables as providence, gold content, stones.

So a piece has a price tag of $1500.00. Now throw the tagline of From the estate of Lady X and it's what ever the market can bear.
Really nice looker though.

Ok. I understand. Not enough to go on.

I do know we have some jewelers on the site. Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to age?

Yeah. It IS a nice looker. I think my wife would love it but I'm leery of buying it from an online auction. It's up around $400 right now so I am going to skip it.
thanks for the feedback.

Yes some very good jewelers on site. If yhey are good they will not appraise without inspecting. They may throw out a price but I doubt a good jeweler would. BUT, an estimate of age you likely will get. And an accurate age to. Good luck with it and a nice looking piece.

Is there any details on the weight and what the K gold is?

Is there any details on the weight and what the K gold is?

No. The diamond is jeweler tested 1/2 carat and described as lower clarity. The bracelet is described as white gold - jeweler tested - but no weight and the K isn't mentioned.

It is very nice looking and it was at $300 when I posted here. I bid $350 but whoever is winning the bid had a higher un-shown bid than that. It's at $400+ now. I am not comfortable at that price. And it will likely go higher. Oh, well. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

It's an Art Deco design-there's one from $550 on some collector jeweller site.
Giving weight and the gold and what the stone(s) are.
I personally would back off, and go with gut feeling it's usually telling ya what to do.
I rather pay more for a sure thing than a so-so value deal and end up with a tad of buyer's remorse.

Agreed.

You have a good eye as that's a rare piece, only 10 are known to exist out of a total of 14. They were custom made as royalty gifts by Tiffany's for the Rockefeller estate. Where the missing 4 went is a mystery. Could be a forgery or could be one of the missing ones considering there is no documentation of it's provenance. Even a good forgery could fetch 5, even 6 figures.

Somone scored some swamp land in Florida for cheap on that auction!

It's not a high end piece. The stones are small and the gold work is kick press, not handwork or cast. It is attractive and probably late Art Deco manufacture.

I can't give you a current market value but I probably would have backed off like you above $350 if I were bidding.
