I loved this necklace when I saw it, and was given it as a gift. Unfortunately, I never wear it because it is so intricate, and the color of the 22k gold doesn't look great on my skin, IMHO.
I want someone else to get joy out of it and actually wear it! It's been in my jewelry box for 3+ years now, only being worn like once or twice. I found one pic of me in it, but it's not the clearest photo. Just to get an idea of the overall aesthetic.
I just went to a store to have it weighed, and it came out as 19.2 grams. The price to offered to me to melt it (at a pawn shop) was mid-$500, but the thought of scrapping it makes me sad because it's so detailed and gorgeous.
Calculated gold prices (http://goldpricez.com/calculator/gold-rates) and it says $748. I assume I was offered less at the pawn shop because there were going to scrap it (or they realized I just wanted an estimate so they didn't care to offer me something better).
I'd like to get $850 for this, but it's hard to price compare since these kinds of pieces aren't al that common. I'm happy to take offers if there's interest.

NOTE: there is some discoloration on one of the "Balls" on the bottom. I took pics to show it, and also show the details a bit better.
