Diamond & Platinum Necklace, ca. 1925 | Sands Point Preserve, Hour 3 | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | PBS 

yes the jewellery is pretty good too

@@YTGhostCensorshipCanSuckMe ayoo

Not too much..? Ok buy me one then. Also it's stunning in the craftmanship, but the quality of the diamonds esp of the center or big diamond, the color is horrible and the clarity is bad.

@@dannygreen5477 prob dirty

She reminds me of Princess Kate!

I love it but at the same time, not jealous but what snobs lol. I agree about the craftmanship mostly about the platinum chain and setting, tho the center diamond is horrible color and bad clarity :/

I agree.

It depends. Old jewelry doesn't mean valuable. Younger people want sparkle and modern technology when it comes to facets. If someone really wants it then they will pay for it.

Lol, I’m not sure how much of an authority you are on this topic but I presume not!

This is absolutely false. All diamonds are millions of years old, so the fact that someone put it in a piece of jewelry in 1850 doesn't really make it historic. Diamonds DEPRECIATE, they don't appreciate.

@@benc7152 You don't see estate jewelry depreciate. A 5 carat ring same mine, same cut and color, same era will fetch $25,000 plus. 60 is a conservative estimate. I would surely drop 100,000 for it.

..REALLY??? Show show little you know. Might want to check out a couple companies like Bulgari, Avianne, and Cartier... My guess is that you mean (only know of) common "jewelry stores" like Jarred, Kay, and Zales which would never sell anything like a quality diamond necklace let alone even solid gold necklaces/chains over 10kt.

Uhm, it's worth much more now soooo, illogical comment.

If you went to go buy an equivalent bracelet at a retail boutique, it would likely be double the price quoted. Just a 5 carat diamond of that quality would be 70 to 90 thousand dollars alone.

She puts me in mind of Kate the Duchess of Cambridge.

Yes she is…

@@SardonicALLY 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

@@SardonicALLY It’s Catherine, Princess of Wales

@@spacecadet2172 ...now

would rather see it on the antiques roadshow chick

Interesting observation. 🤗

there's NO way that would fit on the owners neck

@@gh0st_0f_b0b_chandler it would. A choker would be snug which is the point.

It certainly looks like it.

True. Plus the light blue color of the box inside.

That's what I thought

Lol!!! Great comment! Rick would start all the theatrics (all rehearsed, mind you), of puffing and looking like he’s about to do you a favor and then after 7 or 8 seconds with a deep sigh, he’ll offer 10k, with all the explanations regarding risk, his overhead, space, not an easy piece to sell, blah, blah… Bu I’m confident she’ll never take it to Rick’s, looks like a smart lady!

Which is why you never take a piece of beautiful jewelry like that to a pawn shop.

😆 🤣 😂

Why wouldn't you wear the necklace out in public??

@@JOSH3183 because I am a small white haired old woman and I rarely go anywhere where that sort of thing would be appropriate. I am sure it would be stolen off of me very quickly.

Exactly what I was thinking. A 5.5 ct diamond on its own would be worth that if not a lot more!

Ikr lol gosh

According to a lady in a purple dress

@@knowthycell Purple dress, in my eyes it’s a maroon dress and the podium I would describe as purple.

@@sanookaus1334 I agree about the maroon but the podium is unquestionably blue. There may be something wrong with your display/monitor/TV

Thank you! I was just about to comment that this has depreciated in price due to inflation.

Good question. Platinum coins and billion sell for between 40 to 45% less than gold. Gold isn't as rare as Platinum or atleast that's people's opinion.

As an apprentice jeweller, i think i can give a reasonable answer, platinum can be a great metal to work with but also very annoying at the same time. Great since it will not react at all under heat of a torch, so anything you have prepolished in a tight area won't oxidise but you are also working with much higher temperatures to solder it together and melt it(you need eye protection as it is too bright) but the single biggest reason is platinum is a massive pain to get a mirror polish compared to gold, the finishing and polishing stage of making a platinum piece of jewellery can easily take twice as long as a yellow gold piece if not longer on a complex piece, you are also sanding the platinum to a much higher grit than gold too. Sorry for long reply.

@@sirfirehare oh it's all good, I appreciate the reply, really good to know

Also a jeweler just not an apprentice and I would disagree platinum work is a lot faster than gold but that isn’t the reason for the price difference the same item with exact same dementions in platinum will be significantly heavier than its gold counterpart so even though gold is more expensive per ounce it take more platinum to make the piece making it more expensive

@@Yaoi155 I'm not a jeweler but platinum is only 10% more dense than gold. The real reason is that usually platinum jewellery is 90-95% pure while gold is 60-75% pure.

Please learn to use proper grammar and spelling. Especially if you are going to criticize someone.

@@rylevey8983 knowing your pissed at not my grammar but my views about a show I've been watching for 25 years is popcorn worthy! Lol 😁

@@kingofhisworld1 It's "you're", Sunshine. Maybe if you spent more time learning instead of watching TV, this exchange would be a moot point.

Oftentimes an appraiser will have other appraisers there look at items before talking to the owner. It could very be this appraiser did the same.

@@kingofhisworld1 Perhaps English isn't your first language.

I hear you plus I keyed in on the fact that the great great great uncle was a banana importer which left a rough legacy in Central America

@@shelzp7272 yeah her uncle was a monster

It was before apartheid though technically

Lol one day u might . U never know

😂

Signatures get worn away due to ware or repair

right!!!!

Yes agree

Why not have more out of life. Having items of value can give you the financial benefits. If they're liquidated, that can help in disaster.
