Ever wonder when you invest in a great piece of jewelry if you are also getting a good value for your money?

I ripped this out of InStyle magazine... the bracelet is EXACTLY like one I would make! It is made by a certain high-end designer for a certain store on Fifth Avenue in NYC (changing names to protect the innocent)... and considering I just saw this, I wonder where the designer got HIS idea from??

Anyway... notice the price? $2465.00!! I'd make the same thing for 1/12th the price.
