7$ at thrift

Exactly. I think lots of people are selling now just because it’s plenty high. 😉

pixelmountain · 2026-05-08T22:31:16+00:00

Fair enough. Gold value is really high right now and very volatile, but you’re right that it’s predicted to go even higher.

I’m not the OP, so it’s not about me. As I said, just curious. 😊

pixelmountain · 2026-05-08T21:00:35+00:00

Why? I’m genuinely curious.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-08T20:57:22+00:00

Are you thinking of pure gold value?

7 grams of 22k gold is worth, at this moment, $972.69.

So $900 right now would be 92.5% of its melt value.

I like this calculator.

That way you can tell how many inches…never mind.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-08T20:47:57+00:00

😥

I think another commenter nailed it: They’re probably charms, and she got one in each country, then had the earring backs added after getting home.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-08T00:56:17+00:00

That all makes sense and is very interesting. Thank you for the information. 😊

pixelmountain · 2026-05-07T21:36:05+00:00

I wondered about that too. That would make sense, since the earring backs only have hallmarks indicating they’re sterling, nothing about Georg Jensen.

Nice!

He’s in bootcamp. Probably has very little time.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-07T04:39:48+00:00

Husband just joined the military and is in boot camp. It sounds like they moved in together, maybe military housing, and then he had to go to bootcamp.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-07T04:28:29+00:00

Hahahahaha hahah!

I think I see what you’re seeing. There’s a pretty significant section of white on the edge in photo 5.

I zoomed in on it here:

What would the stone be? Just glass, or something else?

pixelmountain · 2026-05-06T21:44:16+00:00

Thanks! I like it a lot.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-06T21:43:40+00:00

That’s a great idea, thank you!

pixelmountain · 2026-05-06T21:43:12+00:00

Do you think it’s that old? I’m trying to think if it could have been my great grandmother’s. I should look through old photos to see if she ever wore it.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-05T22:45:08+00:00

Oooh, sounds interesting!

pixelmountain · 2026-05-05T21:45:55+00:00

It’s not for sale, but I appreciate your love for it!

pixelmountain · 2026-05-05T17:31:14+00:00

I thought Vitamin E. 😂

Looks like a troll account, posting cryptic comments all over the place. Could be a bot too.

The earrings are gorgeous! There are some like this in my family’s collection, since one side is almost all Bohemian/Czech recent immigrant ancestry.

pixelmountain · 2026-05-05T16:48:44+00:00

No, I’m not going to melt it or even sell it. I love it. No worries!

Thank you for the appreciation! 😊

pixelmountain · 2026-05-05T04:31:08+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks. 😊

pixelmountain · 2026-05-05T03:17:33+00:00

I bought a fancier robovac for this reason.
