@gogrrl@Lynnerizer I don’t know that I would want one. But technically a Sphynx from a breeder cost like 1K so if you did want one. Be a hell of a deal.
I used to work at a store that bought and sold jewelry. That necklace has 0.20 grams of diamonds and less silver than a mostly used roll of plumbing solder. Each multi-part form we used to write up a purchase cost more than that necklace was worth on the resale market.
I left that job in 2010. Since then, state laws have changed and the store switched to electronic forms. So the cost per transaction has gone down, but so has the value of diamonds.
That store would buy and sell similar jewelry if it was made out of gold. The price paid for gold jewelry with diamonds was based on the total weight of the piece, as if it was all gold. So if we were paying $10 per gram for gold, then 0.20 grams of diamonds would have added $2 to the total payout.
@hamjudo@spivy66 well most things are not worth what you paid for them. Unless you did the research.
Then I think what he is saying is they paid for it at the metal price so to a pawn shop we are not going to evaluate your cheap diamonds just pay at the weight of the setting.
Oh yeah, a whole carat of diamondinium! A rough count on the photo shows 72 stones: that’s an average 0.0139 carat per stone. This thing’s gotta be worth at least $1.39 at the Fell-Off-The-Back-Of-A-Truck store…
@MrNews 72 stones would be 4 stones per inch, or 6 mm each. And a 6mm diamond is roughly 3/4 of a carat. So even that computation is way too high. These arent even diamond “chips”. And using @hamjudo’s methodology, with sterling at 70¢/gram, these diamonds are worth roughly15¢.
@CBL_WV The stones are far smaller than the sterling mount that they are set it. I’m guessing that each is probably in the area of 1.5 to 1.8 mm across. About the same as a grain of coarse beach sand, in other words.
If someone else thought so much of this item that they sold mass quantities of these to meh, that should be enough for you to run not walk away from this deal.

@yakkoTDI, No, nothing to really appease Mr. William Gibbons & ZZ Tops!!
@yakkoTDI You can make that yourself silly.
@detailer @yakkoTDI homemade should be preferred. Or you have a problem.
Can’t wait to see the pictures of what this one actually looks like.
If that cat comes with the necklace, I’m in for one.
@gogrrl
Yikes! IDK if I could do that?

@gogrrl no bueno en el gato!
If I get this for my wife will I finally get lucky
@mexicantacos Lucky that she tolerates you buying gifts from a 99 cent deal site? Yes you are.
@mexicantacos You will be lucky is she only divorces you and doesn’t kill you.
Meh, I am neither too drunk nor too bloated to fall for this, but it is close.
@hchavers You might want to take a look at this necklace, there’s a matching ring for the same price. No returns on sale items, jus sayen.

The diamonds are almost colorless which is great except it makes it easier to see the inclusions. I3 is near the bottom for other junk in the stones.
@jimmyd103 but who is looking that close at your wife’s chest? Bigger problems
Hmmm,

@hamjudo is this not worth it for the price?

Diamonds are mostly useless

@j37hr0 Ah, yes, last December’s little holiday festivity booster.
@werehatrack to be fair, i got the S link, my wife loves it and gets frequent compliments on it.
Fool me once…
Is this not worth it?
Don’t buy jewelry from meh smh
If someone else thought so much of this item that they sold mass quantities of these to meh, that should be enough for you to run not walk away from this deal.
Received and of course the invoice is for $125. This is bullshit that I was charged $180.
@andytle well meh isn’t a charity. They are in this to make money after all. This is the first time I’ve seen them do a drop ship deal though.
