sybaritica @stormtreasures I believe you are much too generous with your compliment. Alternatively, I am giving you the well-deserved accolades. I will return my perusal and assessment with future purchases. On that note, the item is sent a like to was underpriced upon my initial opinion. Is there some evidence of "pitting"? Perhaps the reason it was actually priced fairly.

sybaritica You and your taste are a paragon of excellence and with impeccable taste. A unique, true lady. Just assuredly, the premier page on this platform, if not any other. Beste, Maximilian. Will text you again later this week and refer and "share". Also, may I ask you, if ever uncertain regarding a provenance, please inquire . Although relatively expensive, it would be a pleasure to offer my services or humble opinion pro bono.

sybaritica @stormtreasures Apologies, I am unfamiliar with respect of reaching you, apart from my "about" page. The sterling tray was $3500. It is more than likely still salvageable, but in my prior experience with museum silversmiths, I recommend immediate attention. I do hope I've helped a bit. Anything for my new friend.

dare2bchic2day We have much in common, a taste for the finer things! a great way to achieve your goal is to see if you can make a satisfactory trade! It’s how I have had to obtain some treasures I could otherwise not have obtained! Your closet of collections are true treasures like your Dali, & other items, I will visit your closet often and try to list something you might consider trading

sybaritica My wife says that although she wants me to purchase an 18k upgrade, it's hers. I'll keep working towards selling this at a loss to get her then new one. Appreciate your understanding that Poshmark will not take lower than 20%, and I am past my 30-day return policy even to upgrade, although will talk to higher-ups within Cartier. I am trying to please everyone as usual, lol.

amyroulier
amyroulier @sybaritica sounds good. I am also happy to work out something on another secure platform that might take less of a percentage from you. Best of luck - hopefully Cartier will be reasonable and let you return it towards the cost of the upgrade!! Thank you for your quick communication.
