    Even at 80% off the cost is still above buying the same grade stones
    loose sometimes. I use a good rule I only pay for the current gold
    value of a piece that way if no matter what at least I know my
    investment is sound. 

    They are saying CT.T.W. Carat Total Weight so 10 ...one carat stones
    = 10 CT.T.W. 

    Sometimes you can get jewelry for less than gold value. This is how
    I bought settings for my cameos at first. I still sometimes  buy a
    cameo at flea markets to use the setting. Some antique settings are
    beautil ..while some antique cameos are not so beautiful lol
