Weight is another point to be taken into consideration. The bracelet above is made with solid links, it's designed for long term wear.
The bracelet on the bottom has been lightened up which can be observed in the side view the "holes" in the links. This removal of material makes it less expensive to produce and it shortens up the life expectancy of the piece.
There is also a clear difference in the quality of diamonds from the top bracelet to the bottom. The bottom is considered promotional quality. These major differences are things people don't see when looking at the various online and TV type jewelry outlets. When you really ask questions and look you'll see why there is a difference. So when you see that sticker say, "jeweler store prices $3000.00 our price $1500.00",know they are cutting corners and they aren't comparing apples with apples.
For example make sure you're comparing like kind and quality. The bracelet on the left is fine quality made with real craftsmanship: the bracelet on the right is discount.

head, properly set.

Estate appraisal
This is not a replacement situation this is
when someone needs to establish a value to have the items sold. This type of appraisal will be less than replacement value.
Jewelry Appraisal
Charges are
$85.00 for the first piece and $35.00 for
every piece thereafter
Please note that is the item is overtly complicated the charge will be greater and we'll tell you upon inspection.
A complimentary appraisal
is available with
any new jewelry purchase.
Have you ever wondered why the difference in price between one item and another especially when they seem to be somewhat similar?? Make no mistake there is always a reason and we'll take you through the process and show you why. Remember if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
This is a head that was notched too deeply. When a setter goes in removing over 75% of the material that will become the weak spot. A customer brought this ring into us after having it repeatedly worked on at a different store, however it kept having the same problem and she was lucky she didn't lose the stone.
Knowing how the customer intended to wear the ring let us make the appropriate choice of getting her into a heavy six prong head, notched correctly.
LAYAWAY
It is one of the best ways to get
that special piece you've had your
eye on.

An Education in Fine jewelry and promotional quality
This is a ring from a department store. And
we have found this to be typical of their quality.
The trend is to claim it's worth a great sum and it's now
on sale for 50, 60 or 70% off.
My question is off What?
This is not the quality you'll
find at our store.
Again, buyer beware
if it seems to good to
be true it is.
Do you have a problem with
droopy earrings?
Just look at the difference. With this heavy back, this is the solution .
This heavy back is
easier to handle, and it makes your earrings "perky"
Normal friction backs are hard to handle and make your earrings droop.
