True. And to be fair, I think some jewelers are getting finessed too on their wholesale purchases of materials.

It makes you wonder
I mean if there that well made most jewlers now don't have 10+ years of experience to know the difference. I mean even a loop and high grade diamond teater won't work then every one will need to get everything x rayed. At least with gold there still th acid test im not going to care about 14k vs 13.555k

10k is 10k as far as gold content is concerned but, when it comes to the other alloys in the mix, jewelers might have a slightly different % of each one, which will lend to a slightly different hue in the end
Reys (any jeweler) quality will be more in the crafstmanship
The difference in color, between 10k and 14k isnt super big tbh
Ive never owned anything that is 10k but Ive seen plenty. I personally wouldnt go any less than 14kt (with 10kt your gold content is less than 50%) but 10kt is def a cheaper option for people that dont want to spend the extra bread.
I promise a 10kt Cuban done by any of the main spots will look chunky/clean af
Who quoted you these prices?

"And for the dough I raise, gotta get **** appraised
No disrespect to you, make sure your word is true"
Its an industry where most of the consumers arent knowledgable at all so its ripe for getting taking advantage of.
Plus we're dealing with small things where tiny changes in weight can make for giant increases/decreases in cost.. its TOO damn easy to finesse
Most people completely unaware what a fair price is or what the going market rate is for something. And even that is changing by the second. lol

it's all about the weight, the more you get the better the price is, someone getting 80 grams is going to pay more per gram than someone getting 250+ grams. that's just how it works!
