ALL JEWELRY ITEMS HAVE HALLMARKS/MAKERS MARKS & PURITY MARKS (UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE).
ALSO, ALL HAVE BEEN ADDITIONALLY TESTED BY KEE GOLD & XRF MACHINES!
I recently partnered with a local jeweler who just acquired a massive collection of HIGH-END jewelry from a multi-million dollar estate.
There is SO MUCH nice material that he doesn't have room in his store for it all .
.
AND .
.
it is much too prestigious to melt down.
So I am assisting by offering these for a limited time direct to the public here (which complements my successful Australian Opal wholesale business)
This piece is from well known designer Charles Turi.
Many of his pieces have sold for over $20K at auction.
> 14KP (plumb) Yellow Gold .
.
.
it actually tested HIGHER than 14K at 64% AU (roughly 15.
36K) Another sign of HIGH quality jewelry
> Brooch with security clasp
> 15.
4g total weight
> Marked "TURI 14K"
(PLEASE Note: A variety of different positions, lighting and settings are provided to help best represent the overall appearance.
Of course, like most jewelry, photos never do complete justice!)
MELT VALUE is over $550 alone!
Charles Turi founded his eponymous jewelry firm in 1947 when he returned from a four-year tour of duty with the US Army.
Originally a Hungarian immigrant to the States, he held a doctorate in law, but was fated to never really put it to professional use.
He was able to parlay his fledgling business to undreamed-of success, drawing on his wide-ranging European contacts.
He created pieces that were classic and highly marketable, with the fashion flair that women loved.
Lines were sleek, fluid, and curvilinear.
He sold to pre-eminent American and European retailers and his bijoux could be counted on to be flawlessly executed and strikingly designed, all crafted in 14K-18K or platinum.
Despite his passing in 1997, the company continues to manufacture with a corps of a few dozen model makers, bench jewelers, and designers continuing the legacy begun by Turi, where quality craftsmanship has always been a requisite part of the design and construction process.
Delight that special someone with this prized one-of-a-kind creation from a renowned custom jewelry maker/designer.
Asking $799.

it's the Holiday Season, so ready to deal! (I'd much rather let someone enjoy & share this piece for a fair price than to just keep it in a safe!)
A must see - but you have little to lose because I have HUNDREDS more pieces in all price ranges if this one doesn't turn out to be the perfect fit!
