QuestionCould you give me a ball park appraisal on a pendant. Particulars are:
4.35 oval tanzanite clarity SI3-I2 color h-k
diamonds 10 round & 68 Baguette cut 1.25 CWT
Gold 5.4 grams (white gold).
It has a 14K 20" chain which I have seen priced at about $175-$200 retail.
A buddy of mine is selling this and is asking for $950.00. What do you think?
thx
Rick
AnswerG'day Rick and many thanks for your query
Firstly it is illegal for me to give an appraisal on an item I cannot see, feel, measure or touch. You can - but I can't.
Also you mentioned it is a Tanzanite which you then state is a clarity of SI3-I2 (there is no such thing because this type of clarification is for Diamond and doesn't apply to any other gem PLUS it can't be an SI (slight Inclusion) AND I (imperfect) at the same time? The color too is all wrong (again only for diamond) being h-k. Which one is it? H - I - J - K (as you see there are four colors here - so it can't be H-K.
I don't know where you got these figures but you need to recheck them. You can do an appraisal yourself online at the Jewelry Appraisal Center at http://www.online-jewelry-appraisals.com for a fairly modest fee ($14.95) but you will need to get the stats correct.
Hope this helps...
