Word-of-mouth travels fast!

I bought some stuff from somebody two weeks ago and got a phone call from a relative of theirs today. I've been sick for the last week so I haven't really felt like buying very much but I went and took a look at what they had. Ended up spending $175. And they have a platinum ring I have to go back and see hopefully next week but I've never messed with platinum so I'm probably out of my league. But besides that here's what I bought. First is a 14 carat diamond ring that is dated 1908 inside. it is a 1/3ct.








This is the third time this week I have bought a diamond ring. I think I'm done until I sell some of them!

Paperweights always seem to be popular on this site so I bought two of those I don't know anything about them.





And then there's a box of jewelry that Christmas threw up in!











A lot of them are signed and are kind of vintage so they should do alright.

And this little guy I'm not sure why I bought it I think because I used to catch frogs is a kid LOL.









And last are some hand painted leaves.











I really like these I'm not sure if I'm going to list them or I may frame them and put them on the wall.

Back to word-of-mouth while listing this right here I just got a text message from another person who wants me to come over tomorrow and look at Indian jewelry from Mexico. Along with Mexican gold jewelry and some other pieces as well! Love it! Best part about that is my mothers in town and she loves that stuff so I don't have to go far to resell it!

I really like the leaf motif.

I like your poison frog box thing. Pretty neat and worth a nice chicken dinner.

Do you have a pic of the one dated 1908 on the inside? Just curious, because i found a gold ringa few years ago with 1908 on the inside

May be a good time here soon to unload those Christmas jewelry pieces? As for the pt ring, I'd do what you can to get it at no more then spot price if you can, and better if you can get it for less then the scrap value. It will all depend on the ring itself to go beyond the value of that. If it's a genuine classic art deco pt piece, getting it at or a bit over scrap value should make a nice profit. No telling until we see it to say what to do, I think your on your own on that deal. It could be a total fake ?? so, Good Luck!

I don't think it's fake I have a diamond checker and it rang solid. And tested for 14k. But I think in the future I'm going to pass on them unless they are at scrap is kind of a pain to unload them everybody wants to know the quality of the diamond and I have no clue!

Is it worth getting an appraisal from a known jewelry store? I ask because I have a chance to buy one but have no idea of the quality. ( sorry, not trying to hijack )
