Oh, those are lovely too! Sorry, I misunderstood. I read that you said your husband didn’t remember, but for some reason I was thinking you said you did. Guess my reading comprehension isn’t as good today ![]()
Ooh, I really like the 2 turquoise inlay cuffs! Do they fit you? I’m going with the ubiquitous Harvey Era on the other cuff. It’s so special to have jewelry passed down through family.
@Patina yes, they fit.
Honestly, I’m afraid to wear them for fear of impaling the inside of my wrist. The ends are so tiny and pointed.
Very nice stash. I like the stamped repousse cuff…and nice ring. I had been watching an old stamped cuff on SGW because it was going for a lot of bucks. Perhaps @mmrogers or someone else can tell me why this is a $500 cuff. 925 Sterling Silver Southwestern Artisan Cuff Bracelet 30.3g | ShopGoodwill.com
It because two people have to have it @nanc9354 which is what all sellers love, and the market is hot right now.
Absolutely agree that at first glance this seems wildly expensive, but as @StevesTrail pointed out, value is relative to perception, and anything is ultimately ‘worth’ what someone is willing to pay for it.
I think after decades of prices remaining at levels which reflect resale values at levels we saw in the 80s and 90s, when prices begin to reflect current realities — silver wire valued at $40 an ounce from the supply houses and headed higher, and skilled labor costs three and four times 90’s compensation rates, it can be a bit shocking.
Thanks so much
I have missed looking at everyone’s beautiful pieces.
Thanks @StevesTrail and @mmrogers . I thought perhaps I was missing something. It is good that jewelers are finally getting paid for their work and overhead.
