Gold Scarab

I planned to get a new gold bead within this year,saving money for it in my piggy bank.I was courious about special order,so asked for TB how much it would be if I order something made from gold.

Interested in Lucky Dragon,Jellyfish, Porcupine...BUT the reply knoked me out Embarassed

They were around $3000!! Shocked

I understood the gold price was still very high,however they were completely out of my bead budget.So I honestly told him how much money I can spend on a new bead.(I counted coins in my piggy bank.I have $1000)

On the next reply he asked me if I was interested in retired Scarab price at $968.
What?? retired scarab? I really wanted gold scarab,but it retired before I buy.
What a great offer! Of course I grabbed it,almost dancing. bounce

It's a great bead, and quite large! Compared with the ladybug, it is huge! A good "catch"! Congratulations!

Congratulation Hisae Hurray

The scarab is a lovely bead, how lovely to have on in gold and at a good price I love you

It's such a shame special made gold beads come with such a shockingly high price tag.
