With the price of gold going up and up, one would think that they have a fortune sitting in their dresser drawers or safe deposit boxes. I had such a thought when I took in my class ring from high school and some other old pieces of what I thought was gold.
In taking these pieces of jewelery to a jeweler I found out that these were only thoughts of grandeur and even thought the price of gold in over $1000.00 don't expect to get that much. Some of the pieces were gold plated so they were rejected and a beautiful silver piece with pearls turned out to be costume jewelry. My thoughts of receiving a lot of money quickly was smashed as the final tally was presented to me on a piece of paper. I guess the expression on my face told the clerk of my disappointment as the figure on the sheet of paper read $223.41.
I accepted that amount keeping in mind that it was only junk jewelry trying to keep any sentimental feelings at bay.
