Pink Topaz & diamond (0.11ct. tw. SI-GH) pendant/necklace 18″, 3.4gr. 14kt. $763.00 CAD. 230-00108

Topaz make an excellent choice for jewellery. They are one of the hardest gems, they have a relatively high refractive index making them sparkle and disperse white light into spectral colours, and can be very inexpensive. Common colorless and blue topaz can be purchased for only a few dollars per carat, while an exceptional pink topaz can cost over $1,000.00 per carat for a really nice one. This pink topaz has the sought after bubble gum pink colour but adds under $100.00 worth of value to this pendant/necklace. It is a common white topaz than has been colour enhanced by adding a durable transparent pink coating to the pavilion (bottom) of the gem. This surface film is very difficult to seen unless you know what you are looking at. It is stable to common jewellery cleaning solutions and is also ultrasonic safe. The topaz is surrounded by 30 tiny round brilliant cut diamonds of very nice SI-GH quality. Small in size but quite impactful as a sparkling halo frame to the bright pink topaz. The pendant is suspended by a hinged bail from an 18 inch 14 karat white gold Italian made curb link chain. Both the pendant and chain are in perfect condition showing no wear and tear. The pierced filigree gallery adds some additional detail when viewed from an angle and keeps the point of the low set topaz from poking you in the chest. The “sparkle” from this pink topaz falls somewhere between a top quality pink sapphire and diamond. The pendant and necklace look far more valuable than our estate price of $763.00 CAD would suggest. Stock #230-00108.

2009 Rolex 14060M Submariner $14,000.00 CAD. 505-00643

More people are paying close attention to Rolex watches than ever before. They are considered by many to be a genuine asset class in the world of luxury items. The collector market has exploded in recent years for new and vintage Rolex alike. Rare examples of popular retired models can sell for many multiples of what they originally sold for. Even though our latest estate Rolex is only 16 years old it is quite collectible for a number of reasons. Submariners in general have always been one of the most sought-after Rolex models. This 14060 is the absolute last Submariner with an anodized aluminum bezel insert, It is also the last Rolex to feature fully drilled spring bar holes in the lugs with stamped steel bracelet end pieces. This is the “M” version with a fully adjusted chronometer grade calibre 3130 movement. It’s the first no date Submariner with chronometer designation since the  Submariner reference 5512 was discontinued way back in 1979. The first and last series for Rolex watches are usually the most collectible. The 14060M ceased production around 2012, replaced by the 114060 bulky case ceramic bezel model. Completeness and condition are also important variables for collectors too. Overall condition of this one is very good to excellent. It has likely seen a just the lightest of polishing/refinishing at some point in the past. The beveled edges on the thick lugs are still well defined and the drill holes still retain their sharp edges. The machining on the one-way ratcheting bezel is sharp to the touch and easy to turn. It comes with a fully endorsed warranty card dated October 2009. The 12 link 93150 Oyster link bracelet shows practically no droop and no stretch. The fliplock equipped buckle with diver extension is date-coded PJ11, placing the production date to 2008. The definition of the embossed coronet logo on the back of the buckle is easiest way to check for wear and tear along with evidence of refinishing. The logo of this watch is perfect showing no flattening and excellent detail. For well over 50 years the basic Rolex Submariner dial was clean and simple, with no date display, just 3 hands and big legible luminous markers. This is the last Submariner that showcases the look and feel of those early models from the 1950s and 60s. If you like the feel of a lighter wearing Submariner, this one weighs a comfortable 127 grams thanks to hollow centre links, stamped buckle and end link components, This is one of the best examples of a 14060M Submariner currently on the market, we don’t see them this good very often. Including our 1 year complimentary warranty, this desirable Rolex Submariner is estate priced at $14,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00643.

1/20th. oz. (1.555gr.) 1990 Chinese Panda 999 fine gold coin (spot plus 5%). 912-00824

Most “gold coins” are alloyed with other metals making them more durable and long lasting once they get into general circulation. That’s makes sense in principle but when was the last time you saw a gold coin in circulation with regular currency? Truth is, since the advent of paper money, gold coins never go into circulation for face value. With the price of gold around $5,800.00 CAD per ounce, the face value of gold coins can be 100 times less than than their actual gold content. Any gold coin alloyed with other metals making them less than 99.9% pure is subject to sales tax when purchased in Canada. 99.9% pure gold coins like this Chinese Panda are seldom encountered by us. They are usually traded among collectors and purchased as investments. Only a handful of countries produce coins of such purity and these coins never go into general circulation for their face value. Bullion coins like these can legally be purchased in Canada tax free, no sales tax is added to the price. The Canada revenue agency looks upon the sale of fine gold and other precious metals as a financial transaction therefor not subject to sales tax. This coin is offered for only the intrinsic value of the gold plus 5%. It has been handled and displays scuffs and scratches but still weighs 1.555 grams according to our scale. You can bang it more up and it will always be worth the weight in gold no matter the condition, as long as it weighs 1/20th of an ounce (1.555 grams). These don’t come in very often and never in significant quantities. At current gold pricing of approximately $5,800.00 per ounce Canadian this coin is selling for $305.00. It is very cute, with a depiction of the lovable panda on one side and a Pagoda on the other. For credit card purchases please add an additional 2% to cover the service fee. Estate priced at gold value only plus 5%. Stock #912-00824.

Tag Heuer Golf watch WAE1111-0, titanium, 36.5mm, 53gr. $1,500.00 CAD. 520-00140

Before Tiger Woods was dumped by Tag Heuer as their biggest brand ambassador he helped out designing this watch. Tag Heuer’s golf watch has features that make it more suitable for the golf course than a heavy/bulky design that interfere with a nice swing, not to mention are not great for an automatic watch. Its unique features also make it quite different than almost any other watch. The combination titanium case and soft rubber strap only weigh less than 2 ounces. A slightly curved square case conforms to the natural wrist shape. A left side crown can’t dig into the back of your hand adding to the comfortable feeling. The black no-slip strap is as soft as a rubber band and has no fussy clasp to deal with. The Titanium case incorporates a locking deployment buckle built into the backside of the case.  For fine-tuning the strap length, the buckle is equipped with an easy to use adjustment allowing up to 2cm of on the fly adjustment in only a few seconds. Despite the clever buckle the watch still measures just over 11mm thick. A super-accurate Swiss-made quartz movement takes care of the timekeeping duties with an easy to read 3 hand display, calendar feature and luminous pigment on the hands/hour markers. Tag Heuer produced the golf watch for several years in various colour combinations. Our latest estate example is the classic black dimpled dial on black strap. The watch is in good condition showing some scuffs and scratches on the titanium that could easily be polished away if you wish. Comes with a Tag Heuer service box and pillow. While Tiger Woods is no longer endorsing Tag Heuer products (he’s moved on to work with Rolex) his golf watch design is a unique and interesting part of Tag Heuer history.  This watch would be ideal for the golf/watch enthusiast or Tiger Woods fan. Included with service is a complimentary Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers one year mechanical warranty. Estate priced at $1,500.00 CAD. Stock #520-00140.

S. Fiori 0.83ct. tw. lab-grown sapphire ring 3.6 grams, 3.6mm wide, size 7. $725.00 CAD. 206-00422

A blue sapphire anniversary ring without contrasting white diamonds sounds like a pretty dull ring, unless the sapphires look like this. These princess cut sapphires aren’t the typical inky blue/black colour we usually encounter in estate jewellery, they are a beautiful vivid cobalt blue hue. These are lab-grown sapphires produced using the same ingredients as mother nature but grown the laboratory. Like lab-grown diamonds, lab-grown sapphires provide a low cost option without sacrificing quality. The square princess cut shape allows them to be set side by side so close that they look like an uninterrupted bright blue stripe. The are flush set in a protective channel setting. The 14 karat white gold measures 3.6mm wide in a finger size 7. This ring weighs over 3.6 grams and features a thick full shank with solid shoulders. It was manufactured by Sophia Fiori Diamonds and is a current product (style #CSWP111339). According to the website the 15 sapphire weigh a combined 0.83 carat. Our calculations confirm this weight estimation. We have left the ring in original unpolished condition, showing scratches and scuffs on the shank sides and edges, but most of the factory applied rhodium finish is still intact. We will happily refinish the ring while you wait if you’d like it polished up to a mirror finish. This ring is pretty enough to be worn alone but will pair perfectly to any other ring with a flat edges shank. It is estate priced at $725.00 CAD. Stock #206-00422.
