Tag Heuer “Link” mother of pearl & diamond dial 0.47ct. tw. VS-FG, 27mm, WJF1319. $2,000.00 CAD. 520-00184

Tag-Heuer struck gold when the introduced the Sports Elegance (S/el) way back in 1987. The wishbone shape bracelet link design quickly caught on and was a defining look for the brand. It evolved over the decades into the Link series that still retains the spirit of the original and continues to prominently feature wishbone shaped bracelet links. The all stainless steel construction reference WJF1319 has always been a popular choice for a sophisticated tone on look with some extra bling courtesy of 63 round brilliant cut natural diamonds that decorate the bezel, also serving as dial markers on the 27mm watch. The white mother of pearl dial contributes its own special display of faint rainbow colours as the watch is moved. This was one of Tag Heuer’s prettiest creations and has always be a popular choice for someone looking for a pretty watch that doesn’t require delicate treatment. The threaded crown and case back give this little watch a water resistance rating of 200 meters! The lab-grown sapphire crystal is optically perfect and almost impossible to scratch given its hardness. The solid stainless steel bracelet showcases an integrated locking buckle blending perfectly into the link pattern. The bracelet links are a masterpiece of clever design. They are held together with an internal screw that can’t be seen from any angle. Without knowing the trick, you’d swear the links are not removable. Powered by an almost zero maintenance ultra precise Swiss quartz movement, this watch should be accurate for only a second or two per month. These 3 hand with date display movements usually go a couple years on a readily available silver oxide battery, with a full overhauls often at 20 year intervals. Luxury timekeeping doesn’t get much easier that a well built, water resistant, Swiss quartz watch. It remains in original condition showing  some light scuffs and scratches on the case and bracelet. One of our talented onsite goldsmiths could easily polish away these minor blemishes for the next owner in just a few minutes, should they choose to. The watch does not come with any original documents or packaging. It does comes with our complimentary 1 year warranty and custom Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers travel pouch. Stock #520-00184.

20″ Foxtail necklace, 1.4mm, 14 karat, 6.2 grams. $999.00 CAD. 431-00976

We sell a lot of estate chains and necklaces, and for good reason. We scrutinize every one for wear and tear, previous repair work, and overall integrity. If they don’t pass our quality control we don’t hesitate to recycle them. The second reason we sell so many; wholesale is the new retail when it comes to our chains and necklaces. Most times our asking prices are actually less than their wholesale replacement cost. The third reason is our total transparent pricing policy; we ALWAYS show you the weight of every gold chain online and in person. Anyone who doesn’t display the weight does not want you to compare prices or shop around; period. This attractive 20 inch Foxtail necklace measures 1.4mm wide and is suitable for wearing alone or with a pendant. It is secured with a spring ring clasp and shows no signs of previous repair and is in excellent condition. At today’s gold price (March 7, 2026) the gold content in this necklace is exactly $816.00. Our estate price of just $999.00 is well below is wholesale replacement cost. If the price of gold continues to climb, we may reprice this one or decide salvage the gold value out of it.

1978 Tudor Princess OysterDate 23mm 92313 rare. $3,000.00 CAD. 505-00646

Rolex began selling watches in the early part of the 20th century. In the mid 1920s they introduced the Tudor brand as lower priced, high quality alternative. Even though Tudor watches have always been significantly less expensive than Rolex, they represent just a small percentage of the market. Looking at the worldwide preowned segment, we’d estimate Tudor numbers are not much more than 10% compared to available Rolex models. Rolex have invested and promoted heavily in the Tudor brand over the last 15 years, reviving it as serious competition to Omega, Breitling, Tag-Heuer and others in the mid-luxury segment. Tudor is brand to keep keep an eye on; they offer many interesting, capable, and popular models, some with waiting lists to buy. They have always been a great value proposition; their vintage watches often used the same watertight Oyster cases, bracelets, crowns and crystals, as the Rolex originals. Crowns, buckles, and case back are often signed with the famous 5 point Rolex Coronet logo. Our latest Tudor is a very interesting Princess Oyster Date in a diminutive 23mm case size. Reference 92313 is very uncommon to begin with, but a black dial version with a genuine Rolex Oyster two-tone bracelet like this is never seen. According the the original and only previous owner, this is how she received the watch when she was an employee at Rolex in Toronto. When you come across one of these watches, typically they come on a two-tone Jubilee style bracelet that is only gold plated with a Tudor shield logo on the buckle. The bracelet on this example has a solid 14 karat gold stripe running down the middle. It will fit the average sized ladies wrist and can be made smaller if required. The rare black dial with gold text is in perfect condition. Finding any black dial vintage watch without stains, scratches, random blemished, and intact lume plots almost never happens, especially one pushing 50 years old. The Swiss-made, quick set, hacking, automatic timepiece is working well inside the small case and keeping good time. The solid 14 karat fluted bezel is still sharp and crisp, the signed Rolex crown turns more than 360 degrees before releasing to the winding position. For the lady looking for a retro Rolex in a smaller size, this is the watch to get. It does not come with any original packaging or documents. A 1-year warranty will be provided for the next owner of the rare little Tudor. Estate priced at $3,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00645.

Canadian diamond drop earrings “Fire and Ice” 0.25ct. tw. I1-HI, 3.0gr. 14kt. $900.00 CAD. 151-00282

The Canadian connection with these earrings make them just that much more desirable. The centre two diamonds were mined in Canada, likely sourced from the Ekati mine in The North West Territories. Even these small centre stones come with their own specific identification number that’s been permanently laser engraved into the girdle edge of each. Accompanying the earrings is a credit card size certificate of origin showing the jewellery item they are set in with product number in a folder. A lot of extra time, effort, and expense goes into the marketing of Canadian natural diamonds. When purchased new, Canadian diamonds are noticeably more expensive than diamonds sourced from other locations in the world. Aside from some rare coloured diamonds mined in Australia, I can’t think of another supply source that come with origin information. The Canadian centre diamonds are surrounded by 56 tiny round brilliant cut diamonds, each measuring just 1mm in diameter. The square scalloped edge drops measure 8.7mm x 8.7mm and dangle freely from spring loaded French backs. These earrings are in absolutely perfect condition showing zero signs of wear and tear. Fire and Ice Canadian diamonds can be found at select independent jewellers in Canada. The Fire and Ice website contains limited information, but does have a link allowing the user to verify their Canadian diamond using the unique serial number. These like new estate earrings come with certificates, folder, and even the original box. Estate priced at $900.00 CAD. Stock #151-00282.

Tag Heuer Link Chronograph, diamonds, mother of pearl dial, 33mm, CJF1314. $2,500.00 CAD. 520-00186

The line between watch and jewellery becomes quite blurred with the Tag Heuer Link CJF1314. Sure it tells time, has a useful calendar and second hand, but it’s also super shiny and with a mother of pearl diamond dial and bezel. The beautiful iridescent dial is framed with high quality round brilliant cut diamonds that have been bead set directly into the 316l stainless steel bezel. When it comes to pretty, plus being a more than capable sports watch, it’s hard to beat Tag Heuer’s thoughtfully designed “Link” series. The look has become iconic to the brand. The basic style goes back almost 40 years to the original Sports Elegance series from 1987. Although Tag Heuer has tweaked the shape here and there, the Link is instantly recognizable as the successor to the “S/el”. Its look can only be described as a Tag Heuer. Mimicked by many lesser brands over the years but there can only be one original. At 33mm in diameter, it is larger than many lady’s watches but it isn’t massive, heavy, and difficult to wear. The beautiful white mother of pearl dial and thin bezel makes for a watch that looks a bit bigger than the measurement suggests. Refined details set this watch apart from the crowd as the true luxury product it is. Only VS-FG or better quality diamonds serve as twinkling hour marking beacons and then of course there is the beautiful pastel coloured rainbow mother of pearl dial. 68 round brilliant cut diamonds add a little bit less than a carat (0.91ct. total weight) of sparking bling according to the precious stone certificate supplied by Tag Heuer. An integrated locking buckle with fine tuning length adjustment keeps everything securely in place no matter the activity. There isn’t a sharp edge to be found anywhere on the watch. From the curved lab-grown sapphire crystal to gently contoured crown guards, it’s a subtle exercise in timekeeping comfort. Overall condition is very good. Every component on the watch and bracelet retains its original polished finish showing some minor scuffs and scratches. One of our on staff goldsmiths could easily polish the case/bracelet to like new condition while you wait in less than 15 minutes. Keeping excellent time with all functions working as designed courtesy of the high precision Swiss quartz movement. In addition to the regular time keeping duties, this watch features a 30 minute, 1/10th second chronograph timer, with lap time. Tag Heuer retired this model a number of years ago but they still produce a ladies model of similar (ref: WBC1316) 32mm size for $7,100.00 but without the chronograph feature and fewer diamonds. Including a one-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, original inner/outer boxes, stone certificate, instructions (missing the original warranty card), the watch is estate priced at $2,500.00 CAD. Stock number 520-00186.
