Guide for Buying a Pre-Owned Prada

You’ll walk just a bit straighter and stand with your head just a bit higher when you have one of these babies on your shoulder. A Prada handbag is what many women dream of and buying one is the ultimate shopping experience.

However, that experience can quickly turn into a huge disappointment if the Prada handbag you buy turns out to be a fake. Make sure that doesn’t happen to you by always buying high-end handbags from a reputable source.

Plus, check out these tips on what to watch out for to ensure that your new Prada handbag is the real deal.

The Prada Logo

In an attempt to trip up counterfeiters, Prada makes their logo with some distinct things to watch for. The logo at first seems pretty straightforward. It consists of the words Prada, Milano, and a couple of emblems below that descend down in a triangular shape. The triangle may be stitched onto the bag like this one or have the logo printed directly onto the material like this one.

However, only a particularly perceptive eye will notice a couple of small things with the word “Prada”. First, the right leg of the “R” extends outward at an angle rather than straight down as would normally be expected with the font used. This leads to a slight gap between the “R” and the “A” to make room. That leg is also attached to the rest of the letter with a hinged, notched-out space. Finally, the right leg of the “A” extends over the left leg on top. If any of these tiny details are missing, the bag is fake.

Furthermore, check all the Prada logos both printed and engraved, not just the main one on the bag. Clever counterfeiters might make sure the main logo is correct, but count on you to overlook the other ones.

Dust Bag and Authenticity Card

Most, though not all, new Prada bags come with a dust bag. This bag is usually flannel or silky and should also sport a correct Prada logo.

All bags will come with an authenticity card. This card should be sealed, indicate the bag’s serial number and style information, and come tucked in a black envelope with the Prada logo on it. Care booklets are also included so consumers know how to best care for their classy new purchase.

Counterfeiters may also include these items so check them over carefully. Authentic cards will have flawless, perfectly straight fonts with accurate spacing.

Interior Plaque

All authentic Prada bags will also have an interior plaque. Older bags will have the words “Prada Milano Made in Italy” listed on three lines. Newer bags feature a shortened version that says “Prada Made in Italy” listed on only two lines. Regardless, the word Prada should still match the details we’ve already discussed.

Hardware

Take a close look at the zippers and other hardware. Counterfeiters will sometimes use lower-quality materials to save money on the hardware. These will discolor over time or feel cheap and flimsy to the touch.

Prada also engraves their name on the buckles, zippers, locks, buttons, and metal feet. Again, it should be engraved correctly with the font properly spaced. Furthermore, Prada only uses zippers from Ykk, Lampo, Opti, Riri, and Ipi and these brand names will be engraved somewhere on the back of the hardware.

Luxurious Leather

The look of the exterior of a Prada bag can vary significantly. For example, this two-color blue tote looks quite different from this fashionable fanny pack.

However, one thing should always be clear — the leather should feel luxurious. The high-quality calf leather used to make these bags is soft and supple to the touch. Fake leather and lower-quality leather can mimic this appearance from afar, but can never fully replicate the luxurious feel.

Primed for a Prada?

If you’re ready for a pre-owned Prada — whether your first or fifteenth — the number one way to ensure you get an authentic one is to purchase from a reputable seller. On our marketplace, we offer an authenticity promise so our customers can always feel confident they are getting the product they expect.

Are Rolex Watches a Good Investment? Beginner’s Guide to Rolex Investment

When someone mentions watches, what are the brands that come to mind? In the world of Haute horology, Rolex is one of the most recognized luxury watch brands. From connoisseurs to newbies, they’re a symbol of style, success, and status. Rolex watches are more than just fashion pieces, and buying a Rolex watch is more than just casual retail therapy. Being the most famous watch brand there is, Rolex comes with a pretty hefty price tag, not just in stores but in the resale market, making them one of the best watches to invest in.

It is still important to note, however, that not all watches are created equal. While the prestige of the brand name and the quality that comes along with it contribute to its value, collectors play a part in picking the right model and maintenance to preserve its value as an investment piece.

In this article, we provide a guide to getting the best value out of your Rolex investment.

What makes a watch valuable?

Rarity

Considering that the average Rolex watch is already as coveted as it is, rare Rolex watches seem to have a multiplier value due to scarcity. In most cases, rare models can hold their value much better than the popular ones.

For one thing, putting a limited edition label means that not just anyone can get their hands on it. This is one of the reasons why rare editions go against the grain to appreciate even after ownership.

Similarly, watches that are in high demand are also considered to be rare and prized possessions, rising in value in the resale market. Collectors are willing to pay top dollar for rare watches, especially one from a brand name of such prestige, which is what makes a rare Rolex timepiece a great investment.

When it comes to rare Rolex pieces that have superseded in value, a Rolex Daytona owned by American actor and philanthropist Paul Newman comes to mind. In 2017, the watch sold for a whopping USD 17.7 million to watch collector James Cox at an auction. Just three years later, another engraved Rolex Daytona from Paul Newman’s collection sold for USD 5 million. With a combination of exotic features that were not initially designed for the Daytona, along with the personal touch from the late actor, these watches rose to become highly coveted in the watch industry, justifying the high prices.

The concept of rarity can also be applied to vintage Rolex watches. The lifespan of the brand dates back to 1905, which means that there is a good range of models that are no longer in production today.  Vintage Rolexes have seen steady growth in value in recent years, as collectors desire a piece of the fascinating history in the mechanical watch industry.

There are, of course, factors that can affect the value of a vintage Rolex. For instance, over time, there can be signs of wear and tear, or replacement of parts, that can significantly affect the sale price. That being said, while modern Rolex watches manage to hold their value quite well, a well-preserved vintage timepiece is probably a guarantee for any investor. In some cases, the watch owners do not even know what they are. Just last year, a US Air Force veteran found out that his 1971 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Oyster purchased over four decades ago is well worth over $700,000 today.

Model

Besides exclusivity, another good indicator of a watch’s potential as an investment piece is the model. Generally, sports watches are highly sought after in Haute horology, and Rolex is no different. If you take a look at the most popular models in Rolex’s product line, you’ll find that models such as the Datejust, Submariner, GMT Master II, and Daytona do quite well. Due to the high demand and general elegance of these timepieces, they pretty much dominate the resale space.

To take it one step further, Rolex often releases one-off editions and limited production pieces that skyrocket over time. Celebrity ownership can also contribute to the value of a certain model. For example, some of the most well-known figures that have donned classic Rolex watches are Warren Buffet and John F. Kennedy, with the Day-Date, and Jay-Z and Paul Newman with the Daytona. The Submariner, made famous by James Bond movies, is also one of the brand’s most popular models today.

Rolex Investment: Where to begin?

While Rolex investment holds immense potential, it is also important not to dive in head-first without proper research. There are ways to increase your chances of success, such as keeping your watches in pristine condition and buying from authorized dealers.

If you are looking for a good place to start, TrueFacet has an extensive range of Rolex watches just for you.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Lab Diamonds

As the saying goes, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” Diamonds often come with a lifelong commitment. Engagement rings, family heirlooms, or precious keepsakes – these are just among the few reasons to get a stunning rock of your own.

Lab diamonds are a popular choice for many people who want to buy diamond jewelry. They’re more ethical and eco-friendly than mined diamonds, which can be difficult to source in an environmentally sustainable manner. Lab diamonds are also less expensive, meaning you can get the quality of diamond that appeals to you without breaking the bank.

However, there are still some common mistakes people make when buying lab diamonds that they need to avoid in order to ensure they find a stone with all of the qualities that it needs.

Assuming that all diamonds are created equal

Lab-grown diamonds can be very different in terms of quality depending on where they were grown and how they were made. This means that even two stones with the same weight could look completely different from each other because their chemical composition is different. Just like naturally grown diamonds, you will never find two diamonds that are 100% identical. Be sure to do your homework on the origins and history of the seller and lab.

Not taking into account the diamond’s cut

The appearance of a diamond is not just about how it looks on the outside. The cut, polish, and symmetry all play an important role in determining its beauty. A well-cut stone will shine brighter, allowing more light to enter the gemstone and reflect off at different angles which leads to better brilliance.

Overlooking Diamond clarity

In the lab, diamonds that have undergone the cutting process will go through polishing to attain a smooth, glass-like surface. Gemologists examine the finished diamond and give it a clarity rating from poor to excellent.

While excellent polishes do not mean perfect diamonds, these imperfections are not even visible under a 10x loupe, much less to the naked eye. On the other hand, a low-polish cut means that the surface of the stone has many small nicks and scratches. This ‘C’ is something that buyers think they may be able to compromise on and regret later on.

Thinking that carat weight is a good measure of a diamond’s size

When purchasing diamonds, the carat weight is often used as the unit of measure. However, this doesn’t necessarily indicate how large a diamond will be when mounted on an engagement ring or other jewelry piece.

There are also different shapes that can make a stone appear larger than others which might not have as much carat weight but still look just as beautiful. When buying diamonds online, especially, make sure that the seller has specified all the information clearly.

Focusing on just color

The color of a diamond is a critical factor when purchasing one. This is because the diamond’s color can make it look dull and lifeless or vibrant and dazzling, depending on its hue. While color plays a significant part in your dream rock, this shouldn’t be the only factor to consider. There are other aspects of a diamond that should be considered before making this important purchase like carat weight, clarity rating, price, and durability, as mentioned above. Finding the middle ground between all these aspects is key to getting the best bang for your buck.

Buying from companies without reputations for quality and authenticity

You’ve found your dream engagement ring, but there’s one thing that’s bothering you: the diamond. Some may think that the price guarantees a diamond’s authenticity, and they end up forking out huge amounts for counterfeits. Looking for outside reviews of the company to make sure that it is accredited and has the relevant expertise to sell jewelry. Products should also come with a certification to ensure grading has been done.

Going for huge markdowns

Buying diamonds at a discount may seem like a good idea, but there is the chance that you’re just ending up with a fake or subpar stone. Diamonds have a timeless value that does not fluctuate with seasons and trends, which is what makes them a great investment piece. While reputable sellers do offer discounts from time to time, huge and frequent sales are often a red flag.
