Paved with Questions
After a short break from chess blogging, what better way to jump back in than a post on Top eBay Chess Items by Price? In my single previous post about jewelry with a chess theme, The Value of Jewelry(March 2016), I confessed,I have to admit that I don't understand the price at all.
Ditto for the current item, which was titled, '10K Yellow Gold Real Diamond King Chess Piece Pendant Men's Pave Charm 0.40 CT'. It sold for $479.99 'Buy-It-Now', and mentioned,
List price: $1,530.00; 2 available / 1 sold
Is a list price of more than three times the final price a sales trick?

Back to the title, what is a 'Pave Charm'?
The pavé setting, pronounced "pa-vay," comes from the French word "to pave," as in paved with diamonds. By closely setting small diamonds together with minimal visibility of the tiny metal beads or prongs holding the stones in place, the effect is one of continuous sparkle.

Once again, 'I have to admit that I don't understand the price at all.'
