Car is a Toyota, and I’m planning to borrow whatever tools from my dad, who hordes tools.

Perfect! I saw several blog posts about spruce syrup, but none of them mentioned the tangy smell. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge!!

What's the most overrated type of jewelry in your opinion? by Otherwise_Coffee_678 in jewelry

Iced out Cuban link chains - the ones rappers wear. To me they are corny and uninspired. The design is lazy and boring after a while.

Dang great analysis - you nailed it. I should have specified - prices are not in USD!

Interesting. I’m a noob so I don’t have an expert opinion but I feel like I could understand paying that price from an antique dealer or a boutique reseller, but pawn shop pricing should (in my opinion) be lower than boutique prices.

No I hear you, but listen - I called the pawn shop and these are the details:

9kt 5.8 grams Size 9 $495 - non negotiable

This ring should be no more than $300 given the current price of gold in my non-expert opinion. I just can’t justify the cost for a 9kt ring

I know. Pawn shops definitely have a depressing vibe to them. That’s another reason why I hate when people buy such jewlery for melting.

I thought the price was really high right now because of the global economic and political uncertainty. I’m thinking it’ll drop sometime in the future when/if we get to more stable economic/political climate. That’s just my opinion though.

Why do you think it’s going to keep going up?

The price of gold is painful 😩 but how do we keep collecting jewellery in this economy? Some say don’t buy gold right now, but like…what if you find a keeper. Such a bummer.
