I sold this necklace a few months ago, I loved it. It had pave set garnets and lovely natural half pearls set in 14K yellow gold. The chain was really pretty too... with links alternating with graduating tiny pearls. I really wanted to keep this, however my husband insisted I sell it. :-(
I sold this for a friend, her grandfather had given it to her grandmother on Valentines Day about 50 years ago.

I hope I don't offend you in saying this, but I really wish you hadn't done that. I don't know your situation, but I too have sold a piece of jewelry that my EX-husband insisted I sell too. It was a beautiful antique Hamilton 14k ladies pocket watch with a nice diamond on it and it had a pendant attached to it that was also 14k gold set with seed pearls and a nice sized diamond in the middle of a star burst like pattern. I've regretted so ever since. I just hope you don't have the regrets I have:).
Do you have a store where you sell ? I have sold some pieces that I regret it sucks. This necklace is so pretty!
I have an eBay store. This necklace wasn't mine, my friend said she needed the money (House was in default) and she never wore the necklace. I tried to talk her out of selling it because she would never find another like it. It sold for our asking price, so hopefully she is happy. I wanted to buy it from her, but I thought it would be better not to...conflict of interest.
