Second hand rose, well diamonds...

[PurpleDragonfly]

Looking for a little assistance and advice. I’ve been offered an opportunity to purchase some second hand diamond earrings.

Colour F
Cut SI1
Size 1.14 (total) which I know is teeny to some you more experienced jewellery hands…
White gold setting.

I’ve been offered these at £2000 – girls what do you think, good deal or not?

p.s this is about $2900 US.

I'm no expert so hopefully some others will chime in, but it seems a bit expensive. Here in the US you can get new 1 tcwt earrings, white gold, ideal cut, color I, clarity SI1 for USD $2,345 from Whiteflash and other online retailers have similar pricing.

I think it depends on the cut and how they look. You'd have to see if you liked them b/c rose cuts are not just a standard round that you can judge by numbers... if you like old cuts and the rose cut in particular, Jewels by Erica Grace has a 3 cttw pair for $3500 that are over 150 years old and with your exchange rate being favorable, not that far off in pricing.

Way too high for second hand IMHO. I have 1.3 cttw studs, SI F, ideal that I paid about $2,200 for last summer.

Whoever is selling these should expect to get about 50% of the original purchase price.
