If Nico Leoanard, Roman, & DJ Khaled Walk into a Bar… @romansharf @nicoleonardvanderhorst @djkhaled this is how the conversation might go. DJ Khaled iced out his anniversary Patek which he calls a “chandelier”, more like a “shitalier”. As Roman politely said the “plain jane” watch would be around $300,000 and he would never buy it back, and the long story short is if you are going ice out a watch ice out a regular Patek, not a quarter million dollar watch. That’s business Nico!

What Jewelry Should You Wear? Follow These Tips!
Developing your jewelry collection can take some real knowledge and experience. Learning what is truly worth buying and what looks really good on you is a process. Finding just that right piece of jewelry can take some effort but hopefully these tips will make it a little easier.
The best tool for any jewelry hunter, whether searching for personal treasure or for the profit in reclaiming gold or silver, is a jeweler’s loupe. Jeweler’s loupes are small, but powerful magnifying instruments designed specially for use in examining jewelry at very close range. Some jeweler’s loupes also have a built-in, battery-powered light which can be very handy if examining pieces in a dimly lit area. Most jeweler’s loupes are extremely economical in cost and can help you make the most of your jewelry-buying dollar, especially when buying from second-hand sources.
Buying jewelry for someone else can be challenging. Look at what they choose for themselves and try to find something similar. Avoid sized items like rings unless you know what their size is. If you guess, what’s going to happen if you guess wrong? It may help to go window shopping with them and see if they mention a certain store, brand, or even a specific item.
Make sure that you learn about the jeweler’s insurance policy prior to making any purchases. In the unfortunate, but possible event that your jewelry gets damaged, the jeweler will be able to replace or fix it for you. For more expensive pieces, look for a jeweler that offers insurance for lost or stolen items.
Be sure to clean your silver jewelry using professional cleaning products. Using home methods may be effective, but using cleaners specifically meant for silver can help to prolong the life of your silver jewelry. In addition, under no circumstances scrub, your silver. Instead, opt for using denture cleaners to scrub the silver without causing brush marks or other damage.
You can safely clean your jewelry at home. Mix a small amount of mild detergent in water. Allow your dirty jewelry to soak for several minutes and then gently scrub it with a soft toothbrush. Finish the cleaning by rinsing your jewelry in clean water and allowing it to air dry.
A jewelry collection is very personal; what you have really will depend on what you like. There are tips however that are pretty universal in selecting what jewelry is worth the expense. These tips should lead you in the right direction to learn what you like and what is worth the money.
