    Hello Jewelies! I'm back, more puzzles from that same fascinating family estate. This is a necklace and bracelet set. I took it to a jeweler months ago, and have since lost the notes.:bored: He DID say it was from India and the blue stones were glass. Even so he suggested I open bidding at $800-900 US! Does that sound right? Thank you!

    I don't see anything "woven" it's twisted wire.

    Mexican wirework necklace, or so I was told years ago. It's costume.

    :jawdrop: No.... it doesn't....
    If it is sterling we would probably ask 60 euro, ca US$ 68 for the set in our Etsy shop.
    If it is costume we wouldn't sell it. Someone else will have a better idea of current prices of similar costume jewellery.

    Would’ve sold it to the jeweler.

    I'm no pricing expert, just based on my own shopping around and hours of browsing things I will say that that price really surprises me. It's not like the jeweller could want to mislead you, not like he's selling you the item or anything! There must be some very collectible quality about that kind of piece that I have no knowledge of? Any idea how old it is?
    It's a lovely set! I would've have guessed it could be sold for around 80 - 150$ for the set?

    Sounds like exactly the sort of nonsense jewellers tell people when they don't know what they're talking about.
    Exactly. You can knock it down to $395, as a favor.

    Don't count on it.

    didn't think so! I just doubted myself with my guessed price range being so way off the jewellers! :happy:
