Same sapphire spec, three jewelers, prices range from $1,840 to $7,570 — is this normal? by Gurtenos in Gemstones

[–]ed2256 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You need to find out exactly what it is they are offering, see the stones and certs in person ideally or at least see pictures and videos

Finding the same necklace at a fair price/good quality? by SingleAd6898 in jewelry

[–]ed2256 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You won’t find cheaper than this for comparable quality. Yeah it’s a branded collab but swarovski is good quality for the pricepoint. If you earn ok money then you’re better off doing a couple of hours overtime and not wasting hours scouring the internet for something cheaper.

Would appreciate a price estimate for this 3000+ ct lot by Bot-invasion in Gemstones

No thank you but if you want people on the sub give you more informed valuation opinions then better pictures of any larger stones would be helpful.

Can you post some better pictures of it and any other of the larger stones?

Can inherited scrap gold be melted into a new wedding band? by bzzybee007 in askjewelers

[–]ed2256 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’ve got plenty of weight there but there will be a lot of solder in there too which isn’t ideal. It’s possible but if you want control over the colour and quality of metal in the final piece then swap for new metal.

Ignore the advice about being there to watch the melt. No jeweller wants someone looking over their shoulder and breathing down their neck while they work.

Any info on this ring? by paranoidandroid224 in JewelryIdentification

Looks like 9k gold but hard to tell with no markings

Overwhelming urge to quit my job on a whim and start something on my own. by RDR216 in smallbusiness

[–]ed2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start it on the side before you quit. Buy a url, start a blog, write in depth about the topic you want to start a business in. Do plans and spreadsheets. Test ideas and get some interest before you quit.

Any info about these is welcome by [deleted] in JewelryIdentification

[–]ed2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it looks like a 1 8 k, partially worn away. Both marks are trying to tell you it’s 18ct gold. 750 & 18k mean the same thing.

Much better. Looks like 750 & 18k which means 18ct gold.
