A California jeweler offered us a long David Yurman tiger eye necklace in 18k gold that retailed originally for $10,000 (Today, it would likely retail for $16,000 or more).
He only wanted a bit over the gold value so we speculated, buying the almost 60-gram necklace for $2,400.
The San Francisco seller said he bought it for scrap value and had “no market” for tiger eye and “no market” for Yurman.
