<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 326281, member: 5833&quot;]Since we&#039;re telling &#039;one that got away stories&#039;.&nbsp; Was once eying a bracelet on eBay, watched it through more than one listing cycle.&nbsp; From photos it looked like gold set with color change sapphires in panels in the shape of dogwood flowers.&nbsp; Seller said it had marks he could not read.&nbsp; It also looked as though the purple stones were set with the pavilion instead of the table outward, but couldn&#039;t tell for sure.&nbsp; Kept asking questions about the stones &amp; the marks; would get replies that were not really answers.&nbsp; My concern was that it was gold filled &amp; amateur seller just not familiar with how that is marked.&nbsp; Just when I decided I would buy it for, think it was, $200, &amp; take the chance, seller took it down.&nbsp; Wrote to ask me if I was serious, should they relist?&nbsp; Said I was very interested, (here&#039;s where the kicking begins) depending on the marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of putting it back up, they trotted off to a jeweller.&nbsp; Triumphantly reported to me later that jeweller said it was Tiffany &amp; gave him $1,700 on the spot.&nbsp; I cruelly answered that in that case, no doubt it was worth twice as much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have had some &#039;scores&#039; with my cameos, but probably nothing on that scale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
