Tiffany Elsa Peretti, “Splash” ring, sterling silver, lapis lazuli, 4.4 grams, sz. 4.5. $255.00 CAD. 651-00178

I can’t think of a better gem to pair with bright white sterling silver than royal blue lapis lazuli. The small square tablet stone measures approximately 1 square centimeter, likely weighing around 3.50 carats. The rich colour of the ancient stone really stands out against the silver frame. Often lapis forms with yellow specs of pyrite and less saturated greyish sections, each lapis is unique in appearance. This one is almost completely blue on the top surface. Only a couple of tiny pinpoint bits of pyrite can be seen and no greyish pale sections. Italian born Elsa Peretti was a jewellery designer who often collaborated with Tiffany producing many unique and memorable designs. Some of her silver ring designs can still be seen on the Tiffany website with prices starting at $695.00. This “Splash” creation has been retired and is not often encountered on the secondary market. The smallish size ring measures a 4.5 but could be adjusted larger if needed. It is in excellent condition, the genuine lapis lazuli is perfect, not showing even the slightest scuff (front or back). It comes with that iconic drawstring travel pouch for the estate price of $255.00 CAD. Stock #651-00178.

Gents Tag Heuer Link Day-Date automatic 42mm WJF20250. $2,450.00 CAD. 520-00038

Always wanted a nice Swiss watch? Checked out the price of a new Rolex lately? The most basic gents model in stainless steel now costs $8,950.00 for the 41mm version. If you want one with a calendar display, that adds $2,350.00. Trim it with a solid gold bezel and you’re up to $14,750.00. If you’d like the luxury of a day of the week display, the price rises to $60,800.00 CAD for the 40mm version and it’s only available in solid gold. For under 4% of that cost, we present our latest Swiss estate watch; the Tag Heuer Link Day-Date WJF2050. This 18 karat yellow gold and stainless steel model is the brand’s more sophisticated, from the Link series of watches. Incorporating the sporting features you’d expect from Tag Heuer but integrated into a more refined experience. Curved synthetic sapphire crystal, threaded crown/case back, solid link bracelet construction with locking buckle, luminous hands and markers, and a beautiful striped silvery/white tapestry dial. Powering the watch is Tag Heuer’s Swiss-made 25 Calibre 5 movement features a day of the week display at 12:00 o’clock, and a day of the month display at 6:00 o’clock beautifully framed. The thoughtfully placed calendar showcases the watch’s perfect balance and symmetry. The quick beat (28,800 cycles per hour movement) is visible through the clear display window case back. It is not the Sellita cloned movement that comes in most modern Tag Heuers, this one is the original ETA 2834-2. The watch was used as a reliable daily timekeeper for a client of ours for close to 10 years before it was recently traded in. It is displaying the expected degree of wear and tear appropriate for its age and is in very good overall condition. The mechanically locking safety buckle integrates nicely into the bracelet link pattern; bracelet condition is excellent aside from light scuffs and scratches associated with use. It shows next to no sag and zero stretch. The gold-capped trim sections on every link are fully intact, the solid 18 karat yellow gold bezel displays a few light scratches and minor dings but can easily be polished up like new while you wait. This watch only comes with our private label presentation box and is lacking original documents. The watch is running well and all functions are operating as designed. Included with purchase is a complimentary 1-year warranty. The watch is estate priced at $2,450.00 CAD. Stock #520-00038.

3.09ct. VVS1-K very good cut, lab-grown round brilliant cut diamond $500.00 CAD. 191-00212

The race to the bottom is on, and like every product of technology the price falls as efficiencies are implemented. Industrial scale factories can produce high quality lab-grown diamond crystals in only a few weeks. The rough crystals are then typically cut by low cost labor regions in India and China. After cutting they are distributed around the world to an eager market looking for big sparkle at a low price. Our latest estate item is this large 3.09 carat lab-grown diamond displaying a fantastic VVS1 clarity and a slightly warm (natural looking) K colour. The cut is very good with dimensions of 9.35mm x 5.70mm. Most lab-grown diamonds come with a laser etched girdle identifying their origin. Often these larger stones are accompanied by a lab report number, this diamond does not come with an engraved girdle or lab report. Without an engraved girdle there is no simple or reliable way to identify this diamond as a lab-grown. Without a lab-grown diamond screening machine, determining whether natural or lab-grown is an almost impossible call for any jeweller. Even a well trained Gemologist with experience can’t distinguish natural vs. lab-grown diamonds without accurate interpretation from information gathered using optical tools or an expensive screening machine. Large modern lab-grown diamonds are truly that convincing, but they are still only worth around 1% of what a natural costs. A natural diamond of this quality will run you closer to $50,000.00. It’s not hard to understand why lab-grown diamonds have been so popular over the past few years. This diamond is in perfect condition without even the slightest scuff. The estate nature of this one makes it less expensive compared to buying a new one. If you miss out on this one, we can supply another of the same size or bigger/better (VVS1-H) for around $1,100.00 USD. We don’t expect this one to last long at just $500.00 CAD. Stock #191-00212.

1987 Rolex Submariner 16800 $12,900.00 CAD. 505-00637

We have steady requests for any estate Rolex Submariner.  Especially popular are models made exclusively from stainless steel. The versions with a date display are by far the most sought after by our customers. For those who have been asking, here is your chance to pick up a classic vintage Submariner. This is the somewhat uncommon 16800 “transition” model that marked many significant upgrades over all previous Submariners. The 16800 introduced a sapphire crystal, quick-set calendar setting mechanism, high beat 28,800 cycle per hour movement (calibre 3035), improved water-resistance rating 50% higher than the previous generation, and a new one-way bezel timer. The 16800 only stayed in production for around 10 years before being substituted by the stopgap 168000 that was offered for less than a year. Overall condition of this example is pretty decent. The 11 link Oyster bracelet shows some sag and a bit of stretch big but has a decades of life left in it. The bezel and buckle are genuine Rolex service replacements. The original tritium dial and hands are in excellent condition and show just a hint of even parchment patina. The watch is working great, keeping time, and comes with our complimentary one year warranty. There are no original documents or packaging included with this watch. If you’ve been looking for a Submariner Date, this is a good opportunity to pick up a blue chip example that is always welcomed back on trade if you ever want to upgrade. Running great with all functions operating perfectly. Including our one year warranty and travel case this watch is estate priced at $12,900.00 CAD. Stock #505-00637.

Mom & Dad charms/pendants, 0.7-0.8gr., 10 karat gold $105.00 CAD. each 436-00382 436-00383

It’s just around the corner, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are coming up fast. These cute little pendant/charms can be worn on a necklace or bracelet. They can be attached to a key chain or just kept as treasured memento. Both are crafted from durable 10 karat yellow gold and weigh 0.81 grams (Dad) and 0.70 grams (Mom). They each measure around 18mm in height not including the connecting rings. Mom is brightly polished, and Dad has a sandblasted texture with bright cut edges. We don’t think either has been worn as the jump-rings have not been soldered shut and they don’t show any thin areas. Your choice for the estate price of $105.00 each. Stock #436-00382 (Dad) and 436-00383 (Mom).
