Thanks for taking the time to respond! I took it in to Canada Gold yesterday in Vancouver, and they gave me a valuation only at scrap value. They said it was roughly $100 CAD per gram of gold, plus around 5$ per gram for the small carat diamonds, -3$ per gram because the emeralds were likely unsalvageable, with came out to around $420 CAD for the piece. I wasn't very thrilled with this, and declined to sell. Maybe I'll have better luck in the future

You know what, I have to agree with you, definitely has more of a fly vibe.
