I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite places to get discounted stuff for my apartment or just life in general is Craigslist. Sure, one has to be careful in what they purchase, making sure that what is being advertised is actually what they’re receiving after making a transaction, but, in my opinion, it’s the simplest way to get a few things that I need. And while it might be the go-to spot for apartment or furniture hunting, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other things that can be found after digging a little bit deeper. One of those categories of items? Jewelry. Although I’d be careful in the validity of some of the “diamonds” that are out there on rings or bracelets, for those looking to save a few bucks on the wholesale price, Craigslist is a perfect place to do that at. And since everyone loves a little bling on their accessories, here are the most expensive items that can be found on Craigslist in Houston—happy shopping!
10. 4.02ct Cushion Shape Diamond – $26,800
At an insane 4.02 carats, this ring is one of the most stunning things that I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Just looking at it through my computer screen makes me envision royalty walking around with it on. Yet, here it is, listed on Craigslist in Houston for someone to own for themselves. Bright and shiny, the listing is just for the center diamond, but is willing to also include the additional 1.20cts that are placed on the band itself.
9. Rolex Submariner Ceramic 18k Yellow Gold Watch – $27,000
As a piece that was just recently purchased from an authorized dealer just a few months ago, this Rolex Submariner Ceramic 18k Yellow Gold Watch is both new and absolutely stunning thanks to its unique blend of colors. As with some of the other Rolex’s that I’ll show you on this list, this one has a story in and of itself that will help separate it from others made by the company. With a gold band and a royal blue face, it will certainly stand out, that’s for sure. Plus, it’s marked down fro the wholesale price of $34,250, so it’s actually a pretty good deal, too.
8. 3.41ct Round Diamond – $29,500
Advertised as an extremely well cut diamond, this ring sure is brilliant whether around someone’s finger or just sitting in the box. With certification to prove its authenticity, the seller believes that it is one of the brightest and most beautiful diamonds on the market, all while being priced appropriately. Although the current price of $29,500 is just for the diamond itself, arrangements can be made to include it as part of a specific band chosen by the buyer.
7. 5.51ct Natural Diamond Wedding Band – $32,000
It’s not uncommon that, when a marriage ends badly, people try to pawn off their wedding bands for some extra bucks. If that’s the case with this specific listing, than someone will be getting one stunning piece of jewelry. Priced at $32,000, it might be pretty expensive to us “normal folks,” but for those looking to really make a statement on their wedding day, it is probably the perfect statement piece for all fo their guests to gawk over.
6. 5.51ct Natural Diamond Wedding Band – $34,200
As with the previously mentioned wedding band—which is nearly identical—it appears that this one comes from a previous marriage that didn’t work out. But while there are two people who may no longer be together, their ring can still be cherished by one lucky person. That’s the hope of this seller, who is asking for just over $34,000 for this beautiful ring that has diamonds all over it. I’m not sure how much a wedding band should cost, but I assume that this is one of the top-of-the-line variety.
5. Rolex Men’s Presidential Day-Date Platinum Watch – $34,999
As with the other Rolex watches that have been mentioned already, this men’s Presidential Day Date Platinum Watch is a prime example of why so many desire the exquisite timepieces—because they each have a story that comes with them. This particular design has always been associated with the influential people who have worn the Day-Date Series, meaning that the buyer will be in exclusive company when wearing it out and about. It even comes with the option of coming in either platinum or gold.
4. Flawless 2.01ct Fancy Deep Yellow Diamond – $35,500
Much like a few other items on this list—spoiler alert, the next one in particular—this flawless yellow diamond is the perfect reason for anyone wearing it to brag to their friends about what they have on their finger. After all, isn’t the point of having a diamond that big and shiny to show it off? Of course it is, which is why the seller can ask for over $35,000 in return for it—which is actually below the wholesale price of the rare, yellow diamond.
3. Flawless 2.29ct Fancy Deep Yellow Diamond – $42,800
Yellow diamonds are arguably the rarest diamond on the planet, so it’s no surprise that the lister has this at the price of $42,800, seeing how it appears to be clean and is even handled with care in the photo provided by using tweezers to display rather than the possibility of damaging it with someone’s hands. Claiming to be below wholesale, the buyer has the option to place in any type of ring they want to—which will make it even more customized thanks to this killer piece of bling.
2. Certified 4.25ct Round Diamond – $48,500
While a 2.29ct diamond is a pretty shiny rock to wear on one’s finer, for those looking to really make a statement, why not drop a few more thousand to get one that’s even bigger? That’s the option that this one gives shoppers, as the lister guarantees its certified as being everything your eyes are drawn to, with a brilliance and flair that will no doubt make anyone drool. If diamonds are a woman’s best friend, this one might be the best in the city of Houston.
1. Variety of Rolex Watches – $100,000
Sure, not every Rolex watch will be valued at $100,000—as this listing is optimistically showing—but there’s a good chance that, if certified as being authentic, the price won’t be too far off that. Rolex is one of the most well known and highly sought brands of watches in the world, symbolizing wealth and success for whomever is wearing it. As I’ve shown with other examples on this list, the prices of their listings support that.
