Very first world problem I know but I posted recently about losing a diamond bracelet on holiday which I was very upset about partly because I’ve also got lots of other stuff going on and am quite emotionally fragile
I claimed on my insurance who initially offered me £2,500 as a cash settlement which I declined because the pieces they based their valuation on were nothing like the one I’ve lost and nowhere near as nice
I asked them to increase it to £2,800 as a local jeweller had managed to find me one the same at that price (wholesale)
They have now withdrawn their offer but given me £5000 voucher to spend at a jeweller of their choice
Looking at their online store everything seems overpriced and not to my taste - I usually buy antique and am used to getting better value
So what would you buy?
I am considering a simple tennis style bracelet, would hopefully get a decent size solitaire diamond ring, simple diamond studs or solitaire pendant
Alternatively I could get a watch - I have an old gold ladies omega but it’s older than me and quite delicate so I only wear for special occasions
I could get an everyday watch and if so would you go omega, tag or Rolex - this jeweller does also second hand watches so could possibly get something which would retail around 7.5k if new
I will probably never have this opportunity again and don’t want to regret it
