@12345674309 Жыл бұрын

A jeweler won't (if he knows what he's doing) give you a very good price. Why should he? As a goldsmith/gemologist/jeweler myself, I can buy any stone I need for a wholesale price. Your average jeweler, sells for three to five times the wholesale cost, and have the piece within two to three days. Why then should the jeweler put money in something he doesn't have a buyer for, unless he can get it for a steal?

I made a Great Score @ an estate sale last year. Went on the first day and saw they had a collection of US constitutional silver coins, Junk Silver. They were high the first day, but i went back right before they closed up on the final day and made them an offer for what they had left. With some negotiations I was able to get 8 pounds of pre-64 US mint halves, quarters, and dimes for...........Wait for it !..........$300 cash. Worth well over $3,000 now. But a few months later my wife out did me BIG TIME. She scored 9 oz of 14K gold casting grains at an estate sale, the women who passed was a jewelry designer and maker, she cast her own bracelets, settings, and bezels. The people who were running the sale had no idea what "Casting Grains" were and they asked my wife if she thought $25 was fair for the two bags, one was an oz the other had 8 oz in it. Over eight thousand dollars in 14 K Gold

Good score Shane, best I have done was a custom gold ring with 3 emeralds from a pawnshop for $45, it appraised at $580. The guy at the pawnshop thought it was fake because of the flaws in the emeralds. Should have seen his face when I told him that was how I knew it was real....after I bought it of course. Got to get back into trolling the second hand stores and pawnshops it can be fun and it is mindful activity too. ;)

Yeah, with the silver metal coin necklace, I found one of my better finds a similar way, the chain was corroded and cheap fake japan but the pendant on it ended up being 14kt white gold with an actual diamond on it....I buy so many things whether they look real or not simply because the small price for the gamble. That same day of tag saling I bought some tie tack and bars and one was 14kt white gold with real pearls and sapphires....also that day spent $10 buying a whole box of jewelry and it had a 10kt chain, diamond engagement ring without center stone, an attocha shipwreck coin and more......As for the large gemstone you found it's really hard to tell if those are real or not. I will always buy them because. Though I know china produces a ton of fakes back many years ago those type of stones were cut and people would bring them back from when overseas or during war. I've found both real and fake ones but $3k-$5k though they may think that is the value street value no matter what is like 1/10th of that in my experience I've had a stone appraise around $2000 but had trouble even finding $100 for it. Just keep your eyes peeled for gemstones though cause you could get a huge score one day from something people think is fake (I know a guy that inherited a kashmir sapphire and it sold for over 100k

@medicmomma1603 3 жыл бұрын

neggispringfeild I would take them and get them checked out. Mine ended up being worth a lot more then I expected, the color changing sapphire you can actually see it change when turned in the light, it can be grey, purple, green. Also depends of what I wear with them, they were 1 carat each and set in yellow gold, I could not get them out of the setting without risk of damaging the stones so I left them in the gold and had them put on French clip white gold earrings with diamonds on the edge, they are very pretty and appraised at 5k. The big stones which were the purple sapphires are currently not set, one is 12.5 CT’s and the other is like 13.65 CT’s if I remember correctly and they are not worth as much. They are about the size of Shane’s blue stone. And cut the same.

I have been a goldsmith/gemologist for about fifty years. If I were to take a guess, considering what is out there on the market, I would strongly suspect the blue stone is synthetic blue topaz. There are several different natural stones that look pretty much like that one, aqua is of course one, but that is the most common.
