27. As a jeweler, I promise this is junk
Mon Feb 27, 2017, 12:05 PM
Feb 2017

Today's silver spot price is $15.45. I estimate the silver weight to maybe be 2 oz. But let's be generous and say 3 oz. So the silver content would be somewhere between $36 and $52 for a man's ring that sells for $250. Nice mark-up. The amount of inlaid 14k gold does not justify the $350 price. You may also notice that the one with gem stones that sells for $2,500 doesn't saw what kind of gemstones. Diamonds, zircons, zaworski chrystal, glass? A real jeweler would state what kind of gems, their weight, and their grade.

14K gold is not "classy." Sterling silver is for children. A truly "classy" ring would be, at minimum 18K - 20K gold or platinum. This thing is good for knocking out someone's teeth in a bar fight. It is strictly for yahoos. Soon to be on sale on ebay as a "collectable." The ad says it's a "Limited Numbered Series," but it doesn't say how many in the series, 500? 2000" 100,000?

You may notice "Related Items" at the bottom of the page. That's probably necklaces, bracelets, tie tacks, cuff links, scarves, etc. I wonder if his is part of Ivanka's line?
