by the way, i work in a pawnshop and judging the clarity of the stones in it plus the pearls, i think the value of it is far more than the price. this should approximately amount to 4-5k US$ the gems alone. i dont know if these are blood diamonds and pearls but i know he gets it at a very low price if this is correct. yes, i would rather buy these dishes and resell the stones afterwards than get a Louis Vuitton bag that has no pawn value at all. i am probably one of those people thIs person is catered to. i hope i can go to his shop someday.
