Doesn't that seem awfully high? This doesn't even include a chain.

My top bid is $25.

It does seem high for 14 carat gold if you ask me, but I'm no jewlery expert, maybe if we had some rappers on this forum they would probably have a better idea as jewelry seems to be one of their main areas. Hmmmn?

That's funny, Snoozie!

Tell us if your $25.00 bid clinched the deal :guitarist

LMAO! I thought that was a HUGE pendant dangling between two plasticky-lookin' boobs!

I've just realised it's a finger and thumb! Duh! *smacks head* :wah:

Very nice, Snooze.

Aquamarines can be a little high but considering the streamlined setting, I would think that suggested retail is a wee bit much.

Yes, I think that was very unnecessary.

I personally think it looks very elegant. I don't think it looks cheap at all.

Yeah, I did ask but I think that's a little harsh.

Oh well, at least that wasn't me this time, I say push the boat out, go to $33, you never know.

Real value depends on workmanship (plain in this example) and the quality

of the stone (not properly stated). It will have cost Neiman's a bit for the

"USGL card", probably more than 25$, so I wouldn't expect you'll get it for

that!

How many points of Aquamarine

even at 14ct gold thats expensive .

Edited to add: i bought 1/2 a carat of black diamond studs(50 points) with a valuation document valuing them at £400 pounds and i only paid £50

Whats the update? Did you go to $33, will you buy something else for $25 if you don't get the gold thingy? We needs to know these things.

Hehe...Nomad.

Snooze, I buy a lot of stuff off eBay, especially jewelry. My thing is vintage antique rings. I have several pieces that ought to have gone for a lot more but either the seller didn't know what they had/what it was worth or undersold themselves for some reason. I have gotten some steals!! The opposite is true also. I have overpaid for something that I knew the base value of, but loved the thing so much it didn't matter. I think the best thing is buy what you like because you like it. I would not be surprised if you did get this pendant at a steal because sometimes sellers just buy in quantity and want to unload stuff. I'm wearing a 14 k necklace right now (pendant and chain) that I got for $11!! on eBay! And it is real and very nice quality.

I sold a diamond and emerald ring on Ebay and didn't even get but

maybe a tenth of what it was worth. Buyer was very happy, of course.

I decided against selling anything else, they can sit in the drawer!
