5 Lot 157 Lot 172 Lot 192 Lot 212 Lot 213 Lot 238 LIVE AUCTION OF FINE JEWELLERY, WATCHES, SILVER & COINS • WEDNESDAY, 13th DEC 2023 AT 12PM Lola Hynes FGA, DGA • Buying second hand items at auction is eco-friendly due to the fact that there is no fur ther impact on the planet. Despite marketing claims the carbon emissions of lab- grown diamonds are estimated to be three times higher than the carbon footprint of ear th-mined diamonds.This is because growers need to generate and consume large amounts of energy to recreate the conditions in which natural diamonds are formed. • Antique jewellery is unique, no two pieces are the same, the often contain old cut di- amonds which are hand cut and polished have a par ticular character that is not seen in mass produced machine cut diamonds and off - the – shelf jewellery pieces Here at O’Reilly’s we have made the decision to auction natural ear th mined diamonds only. As Lab grown diamonds continue to flood the market the prices continue to drop, however as our business is based on re – sale and we cannot guarantee the re – sale price of lab grown diamonds, we have opted out of offering them for sale.
