0.91ct. fancy yellow heart shaped diamond (34=0.40ct. SI-1-HI) 8.9gr. 14kt. sz. 7. $3,600.00 CAD. 131-00266

Heart shaped jewellery isn’t for everyone one, but the theme has always been popular with designers and customers alike. Some of the oldest styles continue to be admired and always seem to sell through regularly. Sometimes a some very interesting heart shaped items pass through our estate department. This heart shaped dinner ring is a striking example of a unique piece that does a great job showcasing the fancy yellow natural diamond in the centre. The proportionally attractive yellow diamond measures 7.5mm x 7.0mm and looks much larger than its estimated weight of 0.91 carat. The yellow gold bezel frame serves triple duty as it not only makes the stone look  larger by adding a frame, it also protects the sharp point, and enhances the yellow hue of the SI1 clarity centre stone. A double row of SI1-HI bead set single cut diamond in white gold provide excellent contrast for the yellow diamond and yellow gold. This is a substantial ring measuring over 16mm at the widest point with a sturdy shank tapering to 4.8mm. It weighs in at just under 9 grams in a finger size 7. One of our onsite goldsmiths can easily adjust this ring up or down a few sizes if needed. Natural yellow diamonds are scarce and finding an attractive example pushing 1 carat in a heart shape is quite rare. Of over 5,000 fancy colour natural diamonds on our data base, less than 200 are heart shaped, and just 7 are yellow of this weight or larger. This one of a kind hand made ring is estate priced at only $3,600.00 CAD. Stock #131-00266.

24″ fancy link round necklace, 3.75mm, 21.6 grams, 10 karat gold. $2,820.00 CAD. 431-01016

Now that gold is priced over $6,000.00 (CAD) per ounce we hope people will be more careful when purchasing jewellery. A little knowledge about gold and weight will go a long way in determining good and bad value when it comes to buying jewellery. This time of year there are lots of big sales and promotions out there but keep in mind, price doesn’t tell you a thing about value. Very few stores share information about the gold weight of the jewellery they are selling either online or even in store. We are proud of our jewellery and confident knowing it offers excellent value and every price. Our latest gold necklace is a great example of beautiful design, high quality construction, like new condition, and the type of value few others will match. This necklace weighs a substantial 21.8 grams (0.7 troy ounce) in 10 karat gold (41.66% purity). With these two pieces of information you can easily calculate the value of the gold in this necklace this this. Current gold price ($6,200.00 CAD0 multiplied by the weight (0.7 ounces) multiplied by the purity (41.66%) equals $1,808.00. So even if this necklace has been run over by a train, it would still contain $1,808.00 in just gold value. Naturally it takes more than just raw gold to produce a finished piece of jewellery. It takes other precious metals to alloy, expensive machines to turn the raw metal into finished components, skilled craftsmen and women to assemble the parts, margins to make it worth while at the manufacturing end, duties if imported to Canada, and some retail margin at the point of purchase. All these costs easily double to triple to original gold cost. So this necklace priced at 57% over the scrap value represents very good value. The necklace measures 24 inches in length and 3.7mm wide. The round cross section links resemble circular bathtub ball chain but with with some additional white rhodium and bright cutting for additional sparkle. The chain is in like new condition showing new wear of any kind. It is secured by a large lobster clasp with soldered shut connecting ring. It is long enough to be worn even over a heavy sweater and can be used with or without a pendant. We always try to display the pertinent information in order to determine what type of value it represents. This fancy link necklace is estate priced at $2,820.00 CAD. Stock #431-01018.

2011 Breitling titanium AEROSPACE E79362 42mm, Canadian delivery, $3,000.00 CAD. 515-00078

Pilots have always considered wristwatches as more of an instrument or tool than an accessory.  A quality wristwatch can be used to calculate flight time, air speed, or even distance, therefore the quest for a more precise and more accurate wristwatch was not only just a personal preference but a necessity.  Heralded as one of the most advanced chronographs on the market, the first Breitling Aerospace was released in 1985 under the Navitimer moniker. Although there were a few Anadigi (watch with both analog and digital displays) models on the market it was unusual for a LCD watch to have a polarization-sensitive dichroic filter.  This enabled the LCD to display time in “inverted mode” which meant “gold” text with a dark background.  The 42mm case as the original model is made of high grade titanium which is a metal commonly used in aviation for its strength and lightweight.  This watch’s single push crown design and digital display allow the wearer to view the alarm, second time zone, date, countdown timer, and chronograph functions without having to switch from viewing the analog time.  The Minute Repetition function, with a series of chimes, allows the wearer to know the time with a push of a button and without having to even look at the watch, the backlit function of the digital display is not functioning. This one-owner watch is in very good condition showing only small scratches and scuffs on the case and bracelet. The full-length bracelet shows very little sag. It comes complete with the original inner/outer box, instructions, and chronometer certificate.  Including a 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Model E79362 is estate priced at $3,000.00 CAD.  Stock #515-00078.
