What a read! I love that Veronica states the truth here about the intrinsic value of simulated diamonds and plated metal jewellery - I just don’t think people are aware enough! Saving for one really good, solid gold piece over lots of expensive costume jewellery has always been my thought…go high or stay very low. Never the middle!

What a fascinating career journey and I can only imagine that she will keep trailblazing forward with her skillset xx

It’s so interesting - it definitely has me thinking about future jewelry purchases and I can’t believe the treasures you can find at these auctions! 🫢💫

Can you share sources for jewelry appraisals-I have a Paloma Picasso “Sprinkle” necklace and would love to know it’s value(?)

Just wanted to make the distinction that appraisals are for insurance value (numbers are inflated) and valuations are for resale value estimates.
