Shop at Home ring

Beammeupscotty — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 14:02:43 GMT

In 2006 Shop at Home site was liquidating their merchandise. I purchased a 14k gold ring with marquise set tanzanite stones tw 2.05 in the shape of a flower. $80.00

I took it to the jeweler this week and he said that ring if purchased today would go for at least $4,000!

WOW!

I know! It's hard to believe how much jewelry has appreciated and it makes those deals we took a chance on even better. Congrats on your purchase. What a deal you got! I bought an 18kt gold bracelet from them during a liquidation and it remains one of my favorites.

I bought several gold rings from them during that liquidation.

(JTV bought their company out in the end.)

I, too, bought a ring during that sale. They had one to offer and it was in my size. It's heavy 14k white gold with Moissanite. I don't remember what I paid.

@Kachina624

that ring is spectacular! I only know how much I paid because for some reason I kept all receipts from that sale. (I am slow to cull my files LOL).

I also got some magnificent sterling silver Marah Lago blue Larimar jewelry. Quite a few pieces. they were a steal! I was looking at Marah Lago site today to see the difference and whoa!

@Desertdi. Yes, it's a bit much. I dont wear it too often.

I got a beautiful Larimar pendant at a dockside shop on some Caribbean Island while on a cruise. Later bought a stone from a guy on eBay who was also a silversmith. I had him make a ring. It's large and he did a nice job, total price $99.

The appreciation in jewelry overall is amazing. I've been a big jewelry buyer since silver was $1 an oz ( now $35) and gold was $10 ( now $2730). So far I haven't sold any of it but I'm beginning to think about the stash art that I no longer wear.

I have a larimar choker (set in gold). Don't even remember where I bought it. It's "too good" to wear to the grocery store, and I don't get out much anymore...

I picked up the latest Covid version this past summer...and it lasted over 3 weeks...I really thought I was gonna die...so I stay away from PEOPLE in general... Crazy, huh? di

@Desertdi. You didn't tell us you were sick this summer. I would've made you a big pot of virtual chicken soup

I just don't go to public places anymore. Haven't been in a grocery store for four years.

Little rain (barely measurable) here this morning and big wind. Chilly.

@Desertdi I also got Covid for the first time in July on my way home from my vacation. It lasted for two weeks and I had a very bad sore throat, lots of coughing and congestion. However I had no fever.

The worst for me was as soon as I got over Covid, I got a nasty case of gout and could only hop from the bed to the bathroom! It was worse than Covid! That also lasted for weeks!

@Kachina624

Same weather over here. Cold (50's), windy, and some "mist"....and it's gonna be back to the 90's again this week.

I had the Covid right after I had the cataracts removed. I "think" I might have gotten it in the out-patient surgery center waiting room. The place was packed with wheezing "seniors"... I kept moving from seat to seat to get away from them (to no avail). di

@haddon9

Oh...this Covid thing was BAD. I couldn't even EAT...@Kachina624 chicken soup would have been nice to have.

You mentioned gout at the same time. Well, I had a nasty case of sciatica with the Covid. I wonder if these things were triggered by the virus??? di

@Desertdi. Probably from lying in bed too long. That gives me backaches.
