Signed or unsigned?

Which would you buy? A signed piece of jewelry from a well-known joaillier or the exact same design custom made at a local jeweller at 1/2 the price with equally fine craftsmanship.

I'd go with unsigned at half the price. I don't buy jewelry as an investment - I buy it because I think it's beautiful and will enjoy wearing it. So I don't care if it's signed, and resale is really the only reason I can think of that would tip the scales toward signed vs unsigned jewelry.

it depends on the piece.

signed pieces.. will hold there value.

a diamond engagement ring. definitely from a jeweler for half price.

a cartier love bracelet. from cartier.

Yep, not of an iconic designer piece but something like an engagement ring, yes.
