I stumbled across this the other day.

joeychitwood · 19 December 2011, 10:11 AM

Did you buy it for your SO?

77T · 19 December 2011, 10:13 AM

did it have a tiny crown laser etched at the 6 o'clock position?

FeelingTheBlues · 19 December 2011, 10:18 AM

Perhaps I haven't shoped for jewels in a long time and I'm not an expert but isn't this price a bit...well do I really need to say it?

At this price you might as well add a couple of millions and buy the Taylor-Burton pear!

I agree. The price is ridiculous. That's exactly why I posted it up. Haha.

Plus, I would not be making a purchase like that at Costco, but if you could return it anytime, per their policies, it would not be a bad deal if you HAD to take it back.

I knew I saw those price tags somewhere! I bought a 14kt yellow gold bracelet and a 14kt two-tone chain at Costco once and remembered I had a good price on them compared to some jewelers. They have some nice pieces but at this price I think I'd even consider Birks or Cartier before that!

I'd definitely would want the "AD Experience" if I were spending that kind of cheddar on a rock. Plus, I better be marrying Brooklyn Decker or some VS Super Model if I were to give a woman that for her lifetime commitment.

I'd rather have a modest home or 10-15 Platinum, YG, and WG Rolex references; all purchased from our TRF sellers.

I'd rather have that money in pennies and swim in a pool of them but let's not talk about this in this thread!

You still have to admit it's a beautful ring! Way too expensive for what it is but beautiful nonetheless!

wow... Your local Costco carries some expensive jewelry

LOL. Yeah. They also have a decent watch selection...Around 15-20 Rolexes, 10-20 Tag Heuers, 5-10 IWCs, etc. This is a brand new Costco and I plan on getting a membership soon. Not for jewelry or watches (because I'd rather go to an AD/certified gemologist), but for the great electronics and also bulk food item deals.

I wonder what the price would be on River quality

Wow, they actually stock Rolexes? it's been many years since I saw a Rolex for sale at a costco. What models did they have and how was pricing?

watchf · 19 December 2011, 11:12 PM

That is a decent diamond with good colour, clarity and of couse carat according to the picture but 4 carat is not a practical size on the finger (not that I could afford that price of course

).

BTW that appraisal price could almost buy you a decent house here in Australia but not the sale price of that ring!

There have been a few threads on Rolex being spotted in Costcos. I have no idea where they are getting their watches. I spotted a YG Daytona on a leather strap in the NYC Costco for $15,000 which was a pretty good deal. They also had a couple of DJ watches in addition to a couple of IWCs.

Wait... You'd insist on going to an AD to buy a Rolex, yet you'd put Costco food down your gullet? Srsly?

Lion · 20 December 2011, 02:22 AM

Wow...that rock cost some serious change even though it is of excellent quality!!!

Haha. I don't shop at Costco yet. It's a newly built Costco and I wanted to see what all of the hype was about. They allow you to "tour" their stores without a membership. The prices were great...Not sure about the quality though. I haven't heard anything negative about the product quality. Is there something I should be aware of?

I don't think it is a ridiculous price, it is a 4 ct diamond with a VVS2 clarity, quite a stone if you ask me.

Most stuff at Costco is name brand stuff but in bulk. The do have their own Kirkland brand but you can find lots of great deals on name brand products.

It's ridiculous in a sense of wastefulness, not value. I feel paying that much for a diamond ring is a bit nutzo. That's just me though.

Well some people have the same view of people who buy Rolexes

TheVTCGuy · 21 December 2011, 05:18 AM

Now WHY can't I find one like that on the beach with my metal detector...

On a similar note, after Kobe's infidelity issue in Denver, he bought his wife a FOUR MILLION Dollar ring as a make-up present.... Did anyone ever see a picture of it? I'd really like to see what a FOUR MILLION Dollar ring looks like....

I think this is it...Not 100% though. Found it on google images. is that thing sized? Most likely just too heavy to stay up right!

TheVTCGuy · 21 December 2011, 05:33 AM

MAN! That's SOME Diamond!!!! I know nothing about jewles.. but for FOUR MILLION dollars that thing must have come from a metorite from the planet Krypton or something....

Starting by the spelling!

Diamonds are truly expensive. Now I don't know where Kobe bought this one (my guess would be Tiffany) but in Montreal you don't even find CZ's this big...

They sell high priced jewelry and watches at Costco?
