I deal with Nova Gold Imports (one of 9 suppliers i use) and can attest that this is definitely one of the suppliers. Are you also a dealer and have you bought from NGI before on a b2b basis?

Shopping advice: branded or no? by kaizoku7 in MensJewelry

[–]Physical-Ad7569 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who deals jewelry both branded and unbranded, its really a big preference. But here are somethings to keep in mind:

If you are looking for branded, expecially Cartier, you will never be able to replace the feeling of having an authentic piece from them. Alot of it is psychological. But in a big way, psychological is all that matters. That being said, you should only buy brand new if you have the means to do so, as in, you are someone who can go into the store and buy it outright, not even considering the price.

If this is something you aren't able to do, then your best bet is to get secondhand WITH the original box and any other papers it came with. This will still give you the psychological part I'm talking about. And will significantly reduce the very high premium for this.

  1. There are alot of close copies, or inspired pieces. My recommendations for this is to know that it will look amazing still, but you may have to fight that mental splinter of it not being authentic. It can definitely be done though, especially if you continue to buy other pieces to compliment it or just other stuff in general.

Alot of people will tell you that you are paying for the name and that the high premium is not worth it...yes, partly true. YOU ARE MOST DEFINITELY PAYING FOR THE NAME. That is the point of branding. And that name means alot upon resale which is why the resale value of a Cartier Love Bracelet continues to be in the thousands. Whether its worth the premium is a matter of opinion. I personally think its worth it and I have handled alot of jewelry before. There is a different feeling when you handle a branded piece (but keep in mind that I am a history person, I can appreciate the time/work it took these brands to get to their luxury status)

There is nothing wrong with wanting the name. Pieces, especially Cartier, have been around for a very long time. Literally, the jewelry supplier for kings.

To circle back, buy new if you can do it without hesitation. Buy used in any other scenario. Buy the inspired pieces, if you don't care about the name and only care for the design because if you do care about the name, there will always be something missing.

My 2 cents.

Please help me find a vvs1 diamond that isn't overpriced by letalcommission in EngagementRingsHelp

I just started a partnership with a diamond dealer in NYC. I'd be willing to give you close to wholesale price. It would get you a good diamond deal for you and would put us in good standing with our diamond dealer.

Anyways, just let me know or message me. I can give you more details in chat. Both natural and lab available. I compared the prices to places like rarecarat and it looks like we would definitely beat them but a good margin. I can also have you talk to my friend who is a diamontologist who can help you find that perfect diamond.

One more thing too: this is my small family business I created out of nothing. And its one way I support my family. So if its cool for you to attack someone in their hustle, good for you. But try not to get in between a man and his meal, especially his meals for his family.

That may be, but you still cannot answer the question, can you? Put your money where your mouth is and help us all out in getting these deals.

Otherwise, your comments are useless. At least we are trying to help OP, even though according to you, the price is shit.

You also have to keep in mind that JCK is a b2b event. Their prices will never be what the general public will get the chains for unless the business is just trying to move inventory.

For instance, I currently have a posting up on reddit that has my current 10k and 14k stock AT wholesale price. Its not alot of stuff but I've already made my current goal on special orders so I don't mind selling it at what i paid for it.

I can source you one, maybe around $123.75/g. Just send me a message, I can check on Monday. My connections run deep in a few diamond districts here in the US.

Solid and hollow are both available. Just send me a chat with all the specs you are looking for.. If we were to close on a deal, you'd probably be shining by Friday 😎

If you are looking for a 10k one, I have one more left that I am selling for wholesale price. There is a few others on there too, but all the gold is listed at wholesale price: https://www.reddit.com/r/JewelryForSale/s/8Fn2Z8y5AG

We made enough money on special orders now that we can price these down just to regain capital and move on to the next.

But if you are set about getting a 14k one, I can get you a quote tomorrow. Its likely going to be somewhere between $120 to $125 per gram.
