ESTATE: ANTIQUE 14k White Gold DIAMOND WATCH PENDANT

Description

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECTACULAR?
Now's your chance.
From An
ESTATE
On The Treasure Coast of Florida
We have TWO antique diamond watches with pleasing shapes
that lend themselves beautifully for use as unique pendants.
While both watches were working when tested, they're instead being sold
as-is, for use as lovely, artistic pendants. Also, since most women already have
several chains in their own jewelry boxes, rather than add to the purchase price
we've simply displayed it on a 21" long Sterling chain to better display
this Antique 14k White Gold and Diamond pendant.
This auction is for a fine, early 1950's Swiss made 17 Jewel Germinal Voltaire ,
14k white gold with .18 carats of single cut diamond melee.
The chic and graceful Retro era swirl design is 30mm in length.
The watch pendant alone weighs 7.4 grams. The necklace,
including both watch and chain weighs 12.29 grams.
Several people have asked whether the watch can be converted to battery
as opposed to mechanical wind-up mechanism.
Your local watchmaker can do this easily and fairly inexpensively.
Do hold on to the fine mechanical watch mechanism.
Check our other auctions for the second of the two antique watch pendants.
This is a CONSIGNMENT item, and as such, it is subject to prior sale.
Please call us to confirm availability.
WATCH HISTORY: Germinal Voltaire watches trace their origins to 1848 when manufacturing began as MEYER FRERES. In 1895 PICARD & CIE registered trade marks for watches and watch parts, in 1901 the company was reformed under the same name. The trade marks of BLUM & FRERES MEYER were transferred to Picard & Cie after 1902. By 1915, the company was known as Fabrique Germinal. By this point, the company was producing and selling all sorts of innovative timepieces including some of the first wristwatches, ultra-flat pocket watches, and chronographs. Germinal was known for its specialty timepieces for its driver, aviator, engineer, and doctor consumers. All ‘Germinal’ watches were produced by Picard & Fils, Fabrique Germinal, SA La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. Their USA representatives were: Germinal-Voltaire Watches Vulcain Watch Co. of North America, New York, N. Y. The Vulcain Watch Company was founded in 1858 and boasts an exceptional reputation. Research suggests that Germinal Voltaire watches were produced until the late 1950's, early 1960's.

A WORD ABOUT OUR PRICING:
SERIOUS
buyers are ALWAYS welcome, BUT.....
The very fine items we present here display significant reductions from original prices and are listed at either exactly, or very close to, what the seller is willing to accept. Bear in mind the final value fee that ebay charges to sellers is quite high and PayPal or credit card charges add another 3 to 5%, so sellers don't have much room left to negotiate. Oftentimes items offered may be rare, or one of a kind. Should an auction state that BEST OFFERS are invited, that means you'll have exactly ONE chance to give it your very BEST shot. Our suggestion: MAKE IT COUNT.
SECURITY:
We DO use a VERY sophisticated Identity Verification firm to make certain that auction winners have a positive and verifiable track record, are financially qualified to purchase, and are exactly who they say they are. We ship to verified Domestic U.S. addresses only, Sold to & Ship to addresses must match, and photo ID must be presented at time of delivery. PayPal is welcome. We also accept VISA and MasterCard direct. We ship using Fedex DVX, the high value item shipment division of Federal Express.

We automatically provide a detailed photo collage showing multiple views of every item we offer, but should you desire an additional photograph of the item, you have only to ask.

DIAMOND & GEMSTONE
CONCIERGE SERVICES
THINK OF US AS MATCHMAKERS.
You may already have a general idea of what you'd like to have in the way of a diamond or colored gemstone, but there are thousands upon thousands of diamonds and precious gemstones out there, and the global inventory changes from minute to minute. Literally. From minute to minute.
Finding exactly the right diamond or colored gemstone is not simply a matter of specifying a desired carat weight, clarity and color, any more than one chooses a prospective mate by evaluating only those who have the height, weight, eye and hair color you find appealing.
Just like people, each precious gemstone possesses its own unique characteristics.
"Similar" doesn't mean a thing.
Our task is to provide you with what you're really looking for. Without the hassle. And at the best possible price.
There's no extra charge for our services. This is simply what we do.
Our Concierge Service is not for tire kickers.
What we do for our clients requires an enormous amount of in-depth research and evaluation.
Fine quality stones don't stay on the market for long. They tend to sell very, very quickly.
The time for you to request our Concierge Service is when you're actually ready, willing and able to to make a final decision to purchase whatever it is that you're seeking.
Tell us what you're looking for, be it a loose stone, a vintage piece of jewelry, or a one of a kind piece of jewelry we can custom make for you right here.
We provide our our clients with one on one service and you'll have our undivided attention from start to finish.
Let us know what you have in mind, and tell us the budget you'd prefer to stay within.
May we be of assistance?
