Jewelry

I was so surprised to see the line back!  Maybe it's me but it looks kind of dated.  I too sold the few pieces that I had because I never ever wore them, and that was years ago when gold was at it's highest.  While this jewelry is pretty, I am no longer a fan.

I have a ring and a bracelet from IG I got many years ago on the Q. Both pieces are hallmarked 14k IG MEXICO  :-(  I am shocked. Never thought to look before.

@Bird mama  I wish I'd known you were passing out roof gifts.  My sister offered nada.  Too much money for something so ugly AND I have to sit here two days with no AC.

@SharkE  I wrote a check yesterday for over $11,000. for a new roof.  I'll post a picture after its installed and expect you to oh and ah over it.   I'd rather have jewelry or a nice vacation but must keep a roof over my head.

I'm in a similar situation.

I just spent $7,000 to tile my stall shower and bathtub surround and I had installed a frameless glass shower enclosure. I also put in a new showerhead and grab bar. Taking a shower now is like "I'm in Heaven". 

In a couple of weeks, they'll be tiling the floor in my master bath area/walk-in closet - and removing the "old" carpet. $3,000.

@kiva  At least your remodel will result in something pretty.  Mine's about as glamorous as new tires.

When you get it I'd love to see you comment on the packaging.  Someone on a previous thread said she ordered 2 expensive emerald rings which came in a baggie.  My older IG was beautifully packaged in blue velvet boxes.  Hope you love your bracelet.

My favorite gold in the world.

I shake my head at what I used to pay for it. I have bracelets that I paid $159. for, and back then that price seemed high.

Be still my heart at tonights bracelet. I just could not pay the price nowadays. But I am going to drool over it!

I do have one bracelet in my jewelry box that the tongue broke off. I have the piece, but I could never find the company to send it in to be fixed. IG seemed to disappear  for a while.

I should just sell it for the gold with the price of now being so high.

Any good jewelry repair shop should be able to repair that for you.  I have the Mirror Bar Ankle bracelet that I broke almost in  half whan it caught on a low fence I was stepping over and thought it was a total loss as IG had gone out of busines at that time.  I took it to my jewelry store and wonder of wonders they were able to fix it and you can't tell where it was broke.

Talking about prices from yesteryear.

I got a 1ct. yelllow gold wedding ring set that is 45 yrs. old

(I married at 2 by the way) anyway, I paid 400 for it, now you couldn't get the band for that.

but then I don't know anything that has went down in price.

@SharkE  The bracelet is beautiful and will look stunning on you!  I couldn't order because of funds, but I will purchase this bracelet later if it is still available.

P.S.  I love your animated sparkling heart bracelet!  Where can I find it to personalize?  Thanks!
