10 KT the New Standard?

10 KT the New Standard?
Metal prices have gone out of this world over the last year to the point that the average Jill can't afford platinum any more, and the average Jo has to buy her, what? Can it really be happening? Is 10 kt gold the new 14 kt gold? Is it the new American standard these days? Oy, I hope not! But, I sure seem to see more and more of it.

Now, a few years ago, I'd say, that's fine. 10kt gold is sort of like high-end costume jewelry: it has its place. But, with the prices I'm seeing these days on items like the pendant pictured above ($1250 from Jewelry.com), I have to shake my head with wonder and sadness.

This is a cool pendant, but consider the gold in it or lack there of, it's just sad.

  • 'I very much enjoy your blog and the fine pieces of jewelry.'

    I work with for Cartier [...] I am familiar with your jewelry blog and I thought you would be interested to know (if you don't already) that Cartier is re-launching their iconic LOVE collection.

    Very interesting!
