Def hang on to the sentimental pieces!!!thanks! I've had it for 5 years and recently considered selling it. A friend offered to buy it for the price I bought it for, so it breaks even for me but I refused the offer and decided to keep it. The thought of parting with it was difficult enough that it made me want to keep it.
Plus gold and diamond value had increased so might as well keep it than break even.
Thank you. I love it and could never part with it! The purple is so rich and beautiful. In some lights it looks blue. The setting is heavy and very intricately designed. To me it is one of a kind and priceless!!!lovely! I was about to say it looks like it was passed on from the previous generation, before I read that it was from your great aunt. that's priceless.
