A jewel for International Women's Day. But not just any jewel: a "prestigious jewel at auction". Sold, that is, through a public competition by the Judicial Sales Institute of Vicenza. In the sea of initiatives for March 8, shines - pun intended - the promotional one from the Ivg. For the occasion, they propose jewelry discounted "by 50 percent compared to the retail price". Trilogy rings in white gold and diamonds, solitaires, necklaces, "and much more".
"Amaze her with a timeless gift," the message that comes from the Institute in Costozza di Longare via newsletter. "March 8 celebrates the importance of the female figure in our society, a way to honor the women we care about and remind them of how important they are," reads the Ivg advertisement. For example, by purchasing and gifting a white gold trilogy ring starting at 250 euros. Or, again, a set of earrings and ring in white gold with aquamarine and small diamonds, with a starting bid of 600 euros. Precious items that the Institute sells on behalf of the Vicenza court, as they come from bankruptcy proceedings.
But there are also, always subject to seizures, a white gold necklace with pearls and small diamonds (proposed at a thousand euros) or a solitaire ring with matching earrings in white gold at 400 euros. Items of great value that, precisely because they come from judicial proceedings, buyers can often take home at unbeatable rates.
Also to make a gift to a loved one, whether it's International Women's Day, a birthday, or a special anniversary. But, as always, the highest bidder is offered a wide range of items. In the online auction in March (valid until the 18 of the month), you can also find a stock of butcher supplies for 9,100 euros, a lot of office furniture for 2,300 euros, tractors and agricultural equipment for 3,750 euros, a Guzzi motorcycle for 1,500 euros.
Browsing through the dozens of ads, there is truly plenty to choose from. For example, four pallets containing 72 boxes of "antiviral, bacteriostatic, and thermoregulatory gloves": a batch of goods starting at 9,500 euros. "Lot 19," listed in the "clothing" section, consists of ten pairs of pants - size 50 - starting at 80 euros. Eight euros per pair of pants, in short. For those looking for a car, there is also a runabout for 6,500 euros and, if desired, even a truck for 700 euros.
There are also sets of jackets, shirts, even a dental practice chair and equipments. A virtual bazaar to rummage through to find the deal of the day or month. Taking advantage of the ongoing promotions for an unexpected, alternative gift for March 8.
