San Diego Jewelry Buyer Purchases Rare Van Cleef & Arpels Jewels

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) San Diego Jewelry Buyers has announced an extraordinary new jewelry purchase. The luxury pawn shop has acquired a rare and stunning Van Cleef & Arpels pendant and matching earrings. The hand-crafted platinum set features multi-carat flawless and internally flawless diamonds and pear-shaped mixed-cut emeralds. "The Columbian emeralds in these jewels have undergone no clarity enhancement," says Carl Blackburn, owner of San Diego Jewelry Buyers, and an internationally recognized fine jewelry designer. "It is exceedingly rare to find emeralds of this size and quality which have not had their clarity artificially enhanced."

It is not only the emeralds which make these Van Cleef & Arpels jewels such an exceptional purchase for San Diego Jewelry Buyers. The flawless (F) and internally flawless (IF) diamonds that accompany the emeralds are also extremely precious gemstones. F and IF diamonds are so rare that they are often referred to as "museum quality" diamonds. "People from across the country sell diamonds and diamond jewelry with us every day, but I would have to say this pendant and earrings rank among the top purchases that we have ever made when it comes to fine estate jewelry," says Blackburn.

According to Blackburn, his luxury pawn shop and estate jewelry store in the San Diego Gaslamp attracts sellers of important jewelry nationwide. This is because his company has the expertise to assess not only the market worth of the precious gemstones in fine jewelry but also the added brand value. During his 20s, Blackburn travelled the country as an estate jewelry buyer and seller. Since his 30s he has been a prominent platinum jewelry designer, his creations appearing in industry magazines around the globe. As a fine jewelry buyer, Blackburn therefore has a wealth of experience in assessing the worth of extraordinary fine jewelry and making a fair cash offer for it.

The specifications of the Van Cleef & Arpels pendant and earrings that Blackburn purchased are as follows. The platinum pendant features a 5.09 carat D-color flawless pear-shaped brilliant diamond that can be detached or suspended elegantly below a 3.03 carat pear-shaped, untreated Colombian emerald, also set in a platinum pendant. Each of the platinum post-back earrings contains one pear-shaped mixed-cut emerald (1.30 and 1.31 ct) and a D-color, internally flawless pear-shaped brilliant diamond (1.50 and 1.51 ct). All three diamonds are accompanied by GIA reports and the emeralds by AGL reports. Both jewels are signed and include the original Van Cleef & Arpels blue suede leather custom boxes.

Blackburn expects to sell the Van Cleef & Arpels pendant and earrings at an upcoming Sotheby's "Important Jewels" auction. However, he is accepting cash offers now from potential buyers and investors. Interested parties can call San Diego Jewelry Buyers toll free at 800-557-9413 to discuss price and arrange a private viewing.
