It was a prom night. I and my friend Annikka were preparing for the ball when she was trying to put on a heavy piece of gold necklace by herself. We were laughing at such a chunk of design when she told me it was her mom who got it from an antique store. We were amused over it when it slipped through her hands and fell. One of the strings from the necklace was torn off; and both of us, who were making fun of the piece before, clamped our mouths and felt guilty.

We told her mom all about it and her mom felt really upset. She really gave a huge price for buying that necklace and she admired it because of its Egyptian-like design. We wanted to have it repaired, but there is no one to do it. So we decided to sell gold and see what we can make from it.

When we sold Annikka’s necklace, of course with her mom’s consent, we were amazed at how much it costs. We didn’t imagine that it would cost double than what Annikka’s mom has paid for. My friend’s mom eased our guilt and said we made a good choice when we decided to sell old gold. It was such a huge piece that is heavy anyway and we still laugh about it till now.
