0.55 carat I1-K

Nice looking diamond for not much money. Round brilliant cut diamond measuring 5.13mm – 5.09mm x 3.24mm with a very good cut, small table, very good polish and symmetry. The clarity is a strong I1 with an average colour of K. The diamond faces up really well with lots of brilliance and dispersion making this one look much better than the grade would suggest. Offering excellent value for the estate price of $800.00

18/14 Karat Sapphire & Garnet Bracelet

Anyone want to go to the casino? Someone spent a lot on money having the 4 suits custom cut in genuine garnet and sapphire each weighing over a carat. Then the stones were bezel set in custom made yellow gold settings testing approximately 14 karat. The bracelet is an 18 karat yellow gold open link charm style measuring 7 inches long and weighing 4.9 grams. The total weight of the bracelet is 10.8 grams and is estate priced at $990.00. The 4 charms are available without the bracelet for $575.00

1970 Rolex Submariner

The classics keep coming in. The Rolex Submariner has to be considered the grand father of all modern sport watches. I have no idea what sport watches of today would look like if Rolex had never introduced the Submariner. This one in particular is somewhat special because of one little feature on the dial. The word SUBMARINER was written in red making this one of the famous “RED SUBS”. The watch has even patina on the hands and dial markers. The folded link bracelet number 9315/280 appears to be original and has a date stamp of  1970. The original non trip lock crown is also fitted and requires 1 full turn to open. Model 1680 is also an in demand model because it was the first submariner to feature a date. The date ring is still the original black on silver combination. Serial number 2500XXX places the date of manufacture around 1970. The only obvious flaw I know of with this watch is the little pearl dot on the bezel insert is missing, this is a common issue and replacements are available. Comes with our 1 year warranty at the estate price of $5000.00
