Sheeeeshhhh. That’s huge!
I asked my SA on Saturday to help lock in the price of the sixteen stone ring for me. It went from $10,500 to $11,200. That’s an understandable price increase to me. Still, I wasn’t planning on buying that piece so soon. But I guess it’s happening now. I’m paying for it when my repair comes back in to the store.
Now I feel like I should’ve bought the Bird on a Rock (30k to 50k) last year, instead of the Victoria bracelet (44k to 46k). To me, it doesn’t make sense that the Schlumberger prices are increasing so much. Makes me feel like my Victoria bracelet, which I already thought I was overpaying for, is now the less valuable piece of jewelry. Everyone said the Victoria bracelet was the better buy than the brooch, but I’m having buyer’s remorse now.
