Tiffany rose gold lock; looking for information

[darkangel07760]

Does anyone remember how much the Tiffany silver and rose gold lock was?
Looking at some preloved ones and trying to figure out if the prices some sellers are asking are fair or not.
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm afraid nobody would sell close to the "original" price. Back then Tiffany's pieces were cheap. Prices increased times for Tiffany's (silver bracelets from $150 to $1100, gold from $4500 to $2100). Gold and silver price doubled. Locks are collectible too. So market price is *fair* now, nobody is going to sell for what it was unless it's a yard sale or something. Besides sellers may not have bought it cheaply back then but bought from re-sellers/consignment recently.

Thank you! I suspected as much! Some of the prices seem way high to me, even factoring in inflation and scarcity. But I will try to find one at a price I am comfortable with, at least

Maybe start with a Silver lock? they are in $300 range. Also worth trying negotiating buying without chain, chains are expensive too now..
