Value my stock pin competition - a bit of fun.

[poiuytrewq]

See, I'm thinking I may need to up my guess, but.....

 

[Carrottom]

It's very pretty. £78

 

[ycbm]

It's the lack of quality in the overall piece and the setting of the stones that bothers me, but I wish you the best of luck in getting told they are smaller relatives of the Kohinoor

Yes it's a rubbish mount, and you'd have to ask why they wouldn't set diamonds better than that, don't you?

 

[Xmasha]

I'm wondering which charity is going to be getting the £1m

Surely by the rules of the game that would be the Asha Foundation

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Ahh can’t wait to find out next week

 

[ycbm]

And the result was...

a 1-2 defeat, well deserved they missed 3 open goals and played very badly.




Sorry?

Oh, the pin? He wasn't there, got to wait until Monday

.

 

[seriously festive equine]

MY guess is £145. I seriously doubt i will be anywhere near!

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

220 sterling. But don't set too much store by my guess. With my late MIL's jools those I thought worthless paste costume jewelry were in fact the real thing and deliciously valuable. Those I thought were at least worth a king's ransom were useless tat!

Obviously I have no style or class whatsoever.

 

[Fjord]

Absolutely no idea really.

 

[alibali]

In for a penny in for £60! It's very pretty. I'm guessing silver and paste but definitely still worth £60 of anyone's money. I'll be very happy for you if I'm wrong and they're the real deal however

 

[LilMyPony]

€100, I guess. No clue really.

 

[Bellaboo18]

£600

 

[ycbm]

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

GS and Rowreach were right and they are lead crystal (paste). I had no idea paste could shine so brilliantly, they are way better than any cubic zirconium I've seen, (and they cut glass, which they shouldn't).

So its value is about what I paid, which with inflation is a fiver, and Rowreach is our big winner! You can have it if you send me your address by PM R, otherwise I'll keep it for posterity.

Thanks for joining in with the fun everyone

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Never mind it was good fun!

Did they say what the metal was?

 

[ycbm]

Did they say what the metal was?

Yes it's called "base metal", it's not even silver!

Well I'm delighted because I never win anything, but disappointed for you that it's not worth a packet.

Please keep it for posterity

Absolutely no idea really.

You sound like you have a very specific idea

 

[Rumtytum]

Thanks for doing it ycbm, I had far more than a fiver’s worth of entertainment

 

[Bellaboo18]

Oh I'm gutted for you, I really thought it was going to be worth something, especially from the second picture! Thanks for the fun though

 

[criso]

I was hoping that if silver it had a value for that even if it wasn't marketable as an item

 

[ycbm]

I wouldn't be too gutted I won £1000 on my premium bonds today!

[cauda equina]

Gosh congratulations! What treats are you planning?

Brilliant news!

I just sold my van and I'm not paying livery for a horse so I'm feeling flush with cash at the moment. I really wish I could think of something memorable to splash it on.

As it happens I do have a link to my 'Save Mrs. Jingle From Extinction' Go Fund me page?????

 

[twiggy2]

Maybe we all need to dig about for items like this and play a guessing game till a value is given, the thread seems to have been enjoyed by many, myself included.
I was hoping it would be worth more for you but the pb makes up for that (how the bold letters have happened I have no idea)

Hey I just thought! Maybe I should go and buy a diamond stock pin

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Hey I just thought! Maybe I should go and buy a diamond stock pin

Excellent idea, then we can all guess what you paid for it

 

[Cowpony]

I know somebody who had an antique stock pin with some sort of precious stone in it. She lost it when she wore it eventing for the first time . I'm all in favour of £2.50 paste pins that don't matter if you lose them!
