Sacrifice Sale: Stunningly-lovely Blue Swiss Topaz necklace in a 14K gold basket setting. The stone is quite large as you can see by the photograph (when taken to Armstrong Jewelers in Pueblo, the jeweler said it was one of the largest gemstones of its type that she had ever seen).

　　A comparable necklace sells in retail jewelry stores for approximately $1,200. This necklace has only been worn twice and is like new. I need to sell it (I was saving it for my daughter's 18th birthday since it's her birthstone) immediately because our house was burned down, the insurance company is not being nice (there's a surprise, right?), and we just need the money.

　　I paid $900.00 for this necklace and am asking $500.00; however, due to the circumstances, I will entertain offers. I buy all kinds of jewelry from costume to fine for resale (I might be willing to sell some of my costume jewelry at cost if anyone is interested), and it is one of the most beautiful pieces I have run across in my years of collecting.

　　My husband and I are both eBay sellers with 100% feedback ratings, and we always hold our outside sales to the standards that are expected of us by eBay, so you can be certain that what you are buying is absolutely as (or even better than) I have described.

　　Please call Kate at

　　PLEASE NOTE that this I will only accept CASH or a U.S. Postal Money Order should you decide that you would like to purchase this item.
